I wonder if there is any familial relationship to Bernie Sanders, since they share a last name and have both done politics and were prominent people. Probably not, but it'd be funny if that was his uncle twice removed or something.

Piece of trivia: For half a year in Calgary in 1980 I went to Colonel Sanders elementary school, named after a different Canadian solder. It was still there last time I checked a few years ago when I told James Corbett about it (to no response) as he grew up in Calgary. We moved around a lot.

Another tasty piece: The Colonel didn't invent the secret recipe. He bought it from someone. As a kid we road tripped from Ontario to Florida for spring breaks a few times and passed through Kentucky and visited the original restaurant once.

The new correct terms are "herstory" or "sistory".

The newspeak and virtue signalling just boggles my mind.

Sheeple are bad enough zombies, but the body snatches [sic] are so much worse.
