I have a friend I've had since high school with that name and with that spelling who pronounced it a different way (closer to 'camera'), so I go there for a second sometimes without realizing it, but correct myself quickly enough.

The sad part is, they are.

Is Rhode Island the state smaller than any U.S. city?

She was 13 when Star Wars came out. That makes her Gen-X as far as I'm concerned.

That's exactly what it is. It's saying, "white men like me know how to really pronounce your name and you don't."

Not just sophomoric, as the article points out. Plain old bigoted.

"It's one thing to mispronounce someone's name on the first try, right? But to do it repeatedly and deliberately, it feels purposeful. It's certainly done to make a point. It is othering, a way of saying you don't belong here," said Jean Sinzdak, the associate director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.

"I would describe it as a racist and sexist attack on her because she's been the vice president for three and a half years," Sinzdak said. "It's not hard to say her name. It's not complicated."

I don't know, but be sure and let us all know when you call Russia and make this deal so we can definitely congratulate you and not in any way contact the authorities for you violating sanctions.

Why did Manchin ever call himself a Democrat?

No, but you have shit like this these days-

She has a doctorate in clinical psychology from UVA apparently. So she knows this is all bullshit culture war nonsense and is just clawing her way to the top.

Keep going, Vance. Pissing off America's women worked out really well for Dan Quayle.

If I had a good concept of Rhode Island's size beyond 'smaller than all of the other states,' that would be a useful description.
