It was one of the 1st books I read as I learned to read. There was a restaurant chain, I remember them for the pancakes, called Sambo's at the time that was themed after the book, including decorations. I think they became Denny's.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Sambo's was a competitor to Denny's.  Food was about the same (i.e., awful).  I remember decoration inside the restaurant included pictures depicting the Sambo story.  The character looked a lot more east Indian than African to me.

The first Sambo's still exists. I go there every once in a while. Breakfast is good, not big on their lunch offerings.

This comports with my childhood memories as well. They had locations in the Seattle area.

My hometown had one, my parents would take us there for our birthdays until they closed the chain in 81 or 82.

Sambos was on one side of Hwy 61 and Big Boy was right across the thoroughfare. Big Boy closed and the building reopened as Bridgeman's which is similar to Big Boy or Culvers. A casino/motel is on the location of Big Boy and Sambos location became a huge carpet center.

There was a Sambo's in Lincoln City, OR up until a few years ago.  The restaurant is still there AFAIK, just renamed.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

CNN/HLN pretty well outs a juror.

Quote
However, according to HLN, CNN's sister network, juror B37 has been married 20 years, has two adult children and once had a concealed weapons permit. She has lived in Seminole County, Florida, for 18 years and volunteers for animal rescue groups, according to HLN

Yeah the juror has made the first move but HLN just put a target on every woman that comes close to fitting that description.

A lot of old biddies work for animal rescues.

As long as she doesn't wear a CCW badge and sash, she's probably fine.  Still bad on CNN's part though.  Crass and tasteless.

I'm thinking deliberate. The evil juror obviously deserves to be attacked for her vote.

It's not like the media hasn't shown the willingness to put out CCW owners personal information before. :mad:

That information about B37 has already been made public. We even linked to it in this thread.

 :facepalm:

Regarding her, I like this comment in the comment section from fistful's link:

Quote
Why are people making excuses for her? It isn't a "black" thing, there were several black witnesses at the trial. The rest acted and spoke like normal people. They used verbs and nouns. She isn't being ridiculed for being black, she is being ridiculed for being an idiot. Idiots come in every color.

There is a large liberal mobilization happening across the country right now fueled by ignorance and denial. Reading the "Comments" sections of any websites trying to profit from this case will reveal that the vast majority of those speaking out are incapable of simple fact checking and logical thought processing in regards to law.

Can the country recover from such a sheer amount of misplaced blame and hate?

Let us not forget the perjury charge against GZ's wife.  The one that caused the original judge to go grass-chewing apey to the point where his raving self got tossed off the trial.
http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/07/next-up-florida-v-shellie-zimmerman/

Remember, this indictment came from the same group that charged GZ.

The indictment does not mention this tidbit revealed in the comments:
Quote
She offered, in court, to contact the person running the site who had control over and knew the sum available. The court declined to have her do that.
Instead, the court insisted on questioning the person who was not running the defense fund.

I wonder if the judge did that deliberately . Was his rip cord off a turd sandwich case
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Two things...first, I've heard people saying Zimmerman wasngetting a walk because his daddy was a judge.  From what I can tell, he was a magistrate in Virginia 7 years ago.  Obviously, that gives him great sway with a Florida judge..  Funny how so many people here thought the judge wasbtaking orders from DOJ, when it was actually from a former magistrate.   :lol:

Second, some idiot just said that there needs to be a law that requires half of the jury to be the same race as the victim.  Think that will work next time a white person is the victim,  and blacks are excluded fromnthe jury pool...
