"Study of Pot Smokers' Brains Shows That MRIs Cause Bad Science Reporting"

(Warning, crank site, full of bad logic and counterrational leaps. And they also make one of the very same mistakes they are complaining about: How do they know the MRIs *cause* bad science reporting, instead of just being correlated with bad science reporting in at least one case? But still, very funny.)

Affirmative Action does not set quotas on the basis of race, and has not since such quotas were ruled unconstitutional in 1978.

I'd love to hear how the president of a Virginia LWV chapter got Johnson nominated in 1964, given that Virginia didn't have a Democratic primary in 1964 and that Johnson as a sitting president had no actual competition to begin with.

Is it possible that things that our good buddy saw when he was four years old, half a century ago, are perhaps fuzzy and not entirely the way he remembers them?

No. Impossible.

They aren't called "quotas" anymore, no. It's still what they are.

PG County is in Maryland.

Johnson had hella competition, as you would know if you bothered to check; he agreed to make Humphrey his VP rather than force a split ticket with a third Party. (Humphrey failed to make that deal with Wallace in '68, so Nixon got in... which was handy, as he was so revolting a human being he could be blamed for all the unnecessary deaths in Viet Nam and people wouldn't question it.)

I don't know what people you're thinking of that don't place a good chunk of the Vietnam War blame on LBJ.
