Culture Buzz A site that lists and explains the things that white people like, such as expensive sandwiches (#63), religions their parents don’t belong to (#2) and apologies (#55). Things yet to be added to the list: Ski boots, talking about Roth IRAs and decimating native populations.
Politics Buzz Everyone’s least-favorite transportation authority is trying to reach out to the bloggers.

A nation waits breathlessly to find out.

Culture Buzz A blog that collects those notes you’ve been leaving for the person who keeps stealing your leftovers at work.
