   Coulter’s transgender status was NOT as well known when this was written – either Aaron had some inside dope or was just guessing. Now, well, it’s hardly a secret.

   This is probably the best C&H daily comic of all time* – just made my day.

   Huey isnt saying that they made fun of black folks – he’s saying that the show was so lowbrow as to appear be written for idiots, with the subtext that the show portrayed black folk as a bunch of simpletons. They may as well have had minstrel music playing in the background.

   Not quite. In British legal tradition (noted as far back as the 14th century) the name “John Doe” is the name used for an unknown plaintiff, and “Richard Roe” is used for an unknown defendant. “Jane” substitutes in for both versions in the case of a female.

   The tradition continues in virtually all countries that use the criminal legal system but the usage of the names has become rather cavalier. In the case of Roe v. Wade, Ms McCorvey was given “Roe” simply because there was already a case on the docket with a “Jane Doe” plaintiff.

   Smell? Probably the owner. The more it smells like rancid durian, the more the dog likes it and the more likely the owner is to never ever ever buy it again.

    Absolutely correct. Gravy Train was the one where you would add water to make “delicious beefy gravy”. Which, oddly enough, smelled exactly like bacon gone bad.
