Had a similar Wawa experience a few years ago in Philly for work. Hotel manager became visibly insulted when I asked “what’s Wawa, is that like a 7-11” but let me off easy. Sandwich rocked.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

The Middleton ad attacks Chip Roy for allegedly betraying maga. What’s precious is the deep rough guy voice over followed by a pic of Middleton who looks like an altar boy.

I’m at my mom’s house where she has cable tv blasting and I’ve had to sit thru this obnoxious lying ad a few times already. And many other ads not much better. What a freak show.

Specifically, a protest song about how the sons of the rich were able to avoid fighting, like fighting-age Donald Trump who got four deferments for being in college and another for bone spurs.

“Using real censorship to fight fake censorship” is a good descriptor for what’s happening in public and higher education right now.

When I was in grad school in the 90s, a Black colleague reported being advised several times (by the most prominent prof in the dept) that his quickest path to fame and fortune lay with becoming a Black conservative.
