This is a normal post To many Americans, that doesn't really count.
To my mind, if you're not allowed to be President due to reasons of birth, you're not really American.

This is a normal post I just go around licking things.
I extrapolate odour from taste.

This is a normal post Race is a cultural construct?
?

This is a normal post Race is completely meaningless,
Go back far enough and we're all African - or whatever you want to call Africa at that time. Mitochondrial DNA proves it.

This is a normal post Generally, the more mixed people are the fewer genetic problems.
I've never understood the racial purity nonsense.

Or something like that.

This is a normal post If you'd quoted Donne's effort on the same subject I'd have to have told you I'm not that kind of boy.

This is a normal post Siphonaptera is a rhyme by the mathematician Augustus De Morgan
Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so, ad infinitum.
And the great fleas, themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on;
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.

This is a normal post Yes. This so much.
I linked Poisoning Pigeons in the Park above, as I guess it's the most universally entertaining, but really it was quite tricky to pick one song to best represent his stuff.

New Math, Elements, The Vatican Rag, and I Got It From Agnes are also strong contenders!

This is a normal post National Brotherhood Week, Smut, Pollution
Still relevant and all these above were all knocked up quickly as part of the American That Was the Week That Was, I believe (can't be arsed to Google it). We got Millicent Martin, they got Tom Lehrer...
