I hadn’t heard of it until I got to college, but every other Arkansan there seemed incredulous I’d never had biscuits and chocolate gravy. I love them now but can only eat a couple of bites.
Sign you might be in Arkansas. Biscuits with chocolate gravy.

What happened in Wisconsin is an example of what is most feared: That in a true democracy regular people have more power than a billionaire, that all the money in the world doesn’t change one person one vote.
Pete’s dropping bombs now. You know it’s bad when the editor of The Atlantic knows details of military operations hours before we bombed Yemen because the Secretary of Defense, NSA and Vice President were casually chatting about national secrets on an unsecured app.
