Point for Team Tree Hugging Weird Brown Food Eating Hippie Team

I've found that I prefer peanut butter with nutrient-rich flax seed meal mushed into it. Delicious and (somewhat) nutritious.

Point Three (and four) for the Can-Hoarding Yuppie Scum

Last night we had dinner with friends. One is a local cop. Not in our fair city, but right up on it.

And, yes, I asked his opinion on "cop" and he says it's fine. "It stands for Citizen on Patrol," his wife chimes in. For some reason, I still feel like I am being disrespectful and use "police officer" much more than I do on an average day.

Among other things, like thoughts on my citizens arrests, yelling at children, checking out another friend's latest dating choices on the Sex Offender Registry (jesus, another point for team yuppie scum), we ask him about our recyclables debate.

Cop fully supports ratting out the thieves.

Also points out that they're casing the joint. My words. Not his. Closest I'll ever come to using them in a non-fictional sentence featuring my life. I hope.

And that they stole the shopping carts they're using.

Sigh. Does this count as the criminalization of poverty? Where is team Hippie Lovebug?

as if white rural America actually still was the nation’s baseline.

How I love Frank Rich.

I cannot believe there are people who don't think this woman is a nutjob.
