Again, With The Adolescent Behavior

Man, you really have to love conservatives these days.

"The feeling around here is that everyone who drives a small car is a liberal," a roller named Ryan told Vocativ. "I rolled coal on a Prius once just because they were tailing me." 

Weigel spoke to a seller of coal rolling customization equipment who described why some drivers see spewing smoke as a political protest. 

"I run into a lot of people that really don’t like Obama at all," the salesperson said. "If he’s into the environment, if he’s into this or that, we’re not. I hear a lot of that. To get a single stack on my truck—that’s my way of giving them the finger. You want clean air and a tiny carbon footprint? Well, screw you."

As I have been saying, 12 year old boys...

Now THAT is funny! Attached to this post is an ad "Demanding an investigation of Benghazi" with a picture of Hillary in full [snarling] dudgeon. I clicked on it to make sure M got his cut of advertising lucre.

This seems to explain M better than just about anything else I've ever seen offered...

I certainly don’t expect self-reflection from Yglesias, who has shown himself impervious to gentle reproach, much less humiliating take-downs.

M goes on and on about adolescent behavior - how fitting that he locks onto the style of the Juice Box Mafia.

Juris, I read that a couple days ago and that quote immediately had me thinking of Mark as well.

I'll just leave this here.

Over the past few weeks, there has been a lot of hype and hysteria over “rolling coal," a redneck motorsport trend that involves tricking out diesel pickup trucks to emit giant plumes of black smoke. Mostly, this is done for fun or performance enhancement, but nowadays it seems the kids are “rolling coal” to piss off cops, Prius drivers, and anyone else who happens to get in the way of their big-ass trucks. Naturally, this has driven the left into a panic.
