I thought Vermont was American not Latin? Does any Latin places have American mottos? – Dorothy Lynn Lepisto
This week’s first video is a commentary from Molly Crabapple, who also provided the two links above it; the second video was contributed by Mistress Matisse, who says the universe put her in my life to bring me more fun and silliness. The links between the videos are from Cliterati (“heroines”), Wikileaks (“police state”), Elizabeth N. Brown (“brain”), Radley Balko (“libertarianism” and “peasantry”), Rick Horowitz (“snow”), Clarkhat (“color”), Paul J. Ste. Marie (“machine”), Jillian Keenan (“armed”), and Popehat (“jailed”).
