Sweeney Agonistes finds it odd that the bourbon made the headache better, not worse.

Just drove past the Lafayette County Jail and Courthouse (I live in Oxford) -- nobody there but a solitary TV crew.

Sweeney Agonistes commented on Should the Smoking Age Be Raised to 21?.

A friend of mine from high school (in Georgia) who went to Fordham bought six cartons of Marlboro Reds on every trip home. He doesn't smoke. But because cigarettes are so much more expensive in New York than they are in Georgia (2003-2007), he'd clear about $100 profit every time by selling them to his fellow students who did smoke.

Not sure raising the age would do much.

I appreciate the devotion to the theme -- it's vastly improved my morning. Thanks.

Sweeney Agonistes commented on There Is No Such Thing as Hipsturbia.

"It's like imagining dandies living on a farm. You can't be a dandy for chickens and pigs. The whole idea of the dandy is social and urban."

Charles, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you've never read Garden and Gun.

Sweeney Agonistes commented on Slog Bible Study Bonus: The Gospel of Redemption.

This is one of my favorite episodes. Last summer I was driving from Colorado to Mississippi, and stopped overnight in Tulsa. I spent Sunday morning there driving around, drinking coffee, and listening to this story one more time.

I was raised Unitarian Universalist. This story didn't teach me anything about Pentecostal or evangelical doctrines that I didn't already know. But it renewed my hope that we can find common ground. Still does.

Sweeney Agonistes commented on Holy Fucking Shit Crap: It's the Thursday Morning News.

No argument about the national disgrace, as someone who voted no on 26 a couple of years ago and who made plans to get Plan B from out of state to hand out as needed.

But for the sake of accuracy: Jackson is not in the Delta.
