If I find out any of you eat your bread butter side down I'll....

ask you politely why. It seems like it would make more potential for mess.

Well, I don't, because, well, what kind of a freak would? But:

There have been studies done about why toast always seems to land buttered side down, and there are a bunch of physical processes at work there. A lot depends on the height from which your toast falls, and the different weights of toasted bread vs what you're spreading on it, etc. Given a high enough drop, it's a near-guarantee to come down on the butter. Keep the height low enough (up to about the width of your toast) and you're nearly sure it'll fall down buttered side up.
The spinning speed is variable, and the heavier side will end up being the bottom side longer than the lighter side.
Now, of course, the height you're holding your toast, the amount of butter on it, and so on are all things you have some but not complete control over. Holding it upside down will lower the odds of your toast landing butter-down onto a table, (though not onto the ground), though, since the distance from your hands to the table is usually fairly small, but a little more than one revolution (to the ground your toast can spin multiple times).
So if you're eating over a table, are prone to accidents, and aren't prone something that's likely to come off on your slice of bread... Holding it upside down may actually be the smart thing to do.

Ok, but even if you don't drop it, won't it get your hands messier?

They probably view his (caucus) participation as an attempt to atone for his past behavior and are like, "Look at how hard he's trying to turn his life around."

He is a useful tool, and will be tossed aside the moment he no longer furthers their agenda. Until then, they will contort themselves into hypocritical pretzels to defend him - logic or decency be damned.

This is a real Newsweek headline: Microsoft's Changes to Xbox Console Leave Republicans Outraged

The anger comes from a recent update that has new options, some the new default, to how the console shuts down, and when it downloads updates.

An article from Blaze Media decried the change as trying to "force gamers to power down to fight climate change."

"First gas stoves, then your coffee, now they're gunning for your Xbox," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) tweeted on Monday.

"They want to take your guns. They want to take your gas stoves. And now they want to take your Xbox," Troy Nehls, a congressman for Texas, wrote.

Sounds about right. My MiL said the other day that the high price of pet food and cat litter was because “There’s a global conspiracy to raise the price of pet supplies. They don’t want people to own pets anymore, because they think it will help fight climate change.”

And that's why politics, microeconomics and macroeconomics needs to be a mandatory part of the school curiculum.
