The Facepalm Five Told you I might be putting up some more Steve Shives. I find the incest controversy over Steve King instructive. If you are a Bible believing Christian (as I was raised to be, Methodist you know) whom did Adam’s sons marry? Their Daughter of Lilith Half Sisters? Do the Math. Well now, …

The truth emerges.
Ok. There is only one “Whitest Guy” (Ben Franklin certified) and so I have unwittingly Doxxed myself as John Oliver. You should now re-read all my posts ever in a British accent.

The Effects of Brexit
First of all, “Effect” is a result. “He shot the Prison Guard to effect his escape.” or the ever popular “cause and effect.” “Affect” means adopt (with an implication of insincerity and pretense). “Stephen Colbert affected the mannerisms and attitudes of a right wing news commentator.” Good.
