Let's see, that would be the Washington that is completely controlled by . . . mm, could it be? . . . the DEMOCRATS!
Teresa Kerry checks in. . . .
Great idea! Yeah, let's start up a, a WHOLE RADIO NETWORK, yeah, and we'll call it, um, let's call it . . . AIR AMERICA! Progressive talk radio ALL . . . DAY . . . LONG! WOO! We'll DOMINATE the airwa--Oh, wait. . . . Never mind.
Same here. I was born (1953) and raised on the north side of the city of Chicago, and that's the way it was. Everyone was defined and referred to (often in un-PC terms) by their ethnic identity, and it was . . . OK.
O’s mother was a Jew.
Only if you believe questionable StormFront genealogy. I checked out his maternal family tree. All gentile back to the first Dunham born in Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1640. Judging from your archived posts you seem to have a certain unhealthy obsession with jew-know-what. Perhaps you need a HEALTHY obsession with coupons.
“Bohunk”
I never KNEW where that word came from! Thanks...
and..what’s a lugan?
Think of all those terrific WWII era movies using all the ‘slurs’....it was ‘manly’ talk, back then, and not necessarily negative...
I know exactly what you mean about the old ladies with the small angry mouths. They act like the money is coming out of their own pocket. Ad matching at Walmart is just as bad.
Exactly.
My mom was One of Seven kids, all 'Irish and German' descent. Our family was like a league of nations and everyone used those *terms*, including themselves.
My dad was German, Aunt Sophie was Bohemian, Uncle Stanley was Polish, Aunt Teressa Italian, Uncle Bob was German, Aunt Joyce wasAnd when all my first cousins started getting married, forgetaboutit.EnglishBritish, and Aunt Leona was just a B*tch(not joking)So you can guess at what they were called, and called themselves.
somehow one of my older 'Irish-German-Bohemian' female first cousins got a WASP from Kenilworth to marry her. Now that was a shocker :-)
lol. A 'Lugan' is a person from Lithuania.
'Most' but not all, emigrated to the USA after WWII. And 'most' made Chicago their new home in the USA. But 'all' had to do it legally and the waiting period was up to ten years.
And 'typically' once in Chicago the Lithuanians would first live in Bridgeport, then move to Brighton Park and then to Marquette Park after the kiddies were grown and out of HS (though that was kinda like just to 'show off'). Incomes for families in Brighton Park and Marquette Park were pretty much equal.
My wife and her parents finally came here in 1956 after years & years of waiting. She was about 6-7 and is Lithuanian & German. [I first met her when she was 14 and that was pretty much it for me :-)]
In my old Chicago 'hood', we had Irish, Germans, Polish, Lithuanians and 'mixed breeds'. :-). In HS I could swear in three languages.
NO ADVIL FOR YOU!!!
“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening,”
I agree. Hoping for change and all....
Nixon sent him to Cambodia on Christmas day before Nixon became president. It's seared, seared in his memory.
He did get three Purple Hearts for scratches and splinters.
