Your original statement assigns a motive: take away health coverage so that the money can be used to give tax cuts to the rich. That’s over the top; the conservatives disagree with ACA, and the way it is funded. Therefore, they are reducing the program and the way it is funded, including taxes. You and I might…

Sorry, but over the top statements like “For instance, if you support taking away people’s health care so that wealthy people can have a tax cut” are only a convenient excuse to be uncivil or hostile. The allocation of public funding to social issue is a legitimate policy discussion that should be free of that kind…

Not sure that really qualifies as beer.

Awesome idea; the dumb isn’t going anywhere, we can always get back to it on Friday.

“This whole nasty business is a perfect reflection of the online sharing economy that is fucked up and stacked against you. It’s wild how readily real live human beings—often smart ones, too, who would generally express skepticism for this exact kind of corporate intrusion—will accept the presence of and even…

To all those who can’t believe that Brooks needs more kitchen stuff at the age of 55, let’s be clear. This is all the stuff she gets to keep when they divorce in 5 years.

Love that quote, and the movie.

To what end? If we have a notion of “Institutional racism”, then what is the need to challenge or change? All it does is open to door to conservatives to claim a double standard and to deride liberal pedantry. I think your attempts only reduce the power of the term “racist” and make the moral position of the liberals…

I turned 50 two weeks ago, and I don’t feel much different than when I was 35 or 40. I’m still in great shape, sex is super, brain works. I just have more money and more patience, I think. I keep waiting to fall apart, but all good so far.

Sure hope I get that box from Amazon soon, been kinda lonely.

Agreed. Nantz has no interest in our opinions, nor in changing the current college reward system. He’s just a voice telling us what’s going on in a game; as far as the list of personalities and celebrities, he so far down the ladder that he is irrelevant. The only reason that he is brought up on Deadspin is because…

My hidden shame is that I love Tattoo master, and I don’t even wear any ink. I would think winning that would set you up pretty well in your chosen profession.

I read that headline and I had no idea what sport, tournament or even planet it was referring to. I read the body of the article, and I still have no idea what this is about.

I appreciate you are trying to ask a legitimate question, so you deserve more the snide responses. Essentially, I believe that it comes to two questions: a) how do tax rates impact individual investing and productivity and b) can governments be trusted to be the arbitrator on the wealth distribution that occurs with…

The anti-Trump anger and constant articles are wearing me out. It’s really tiring being angry all the time. Can’t we take a break?

It’s a chick movie dressed up like a sci-fi, and I very much enjoyed it.

Honestly, the best part of watching college football is that a coach, who assuredly is as much a jerk as Mora, is going to lose. Such fun.

I did the same thing when I choose my community college for my pottery class. Smaller crowd for that one.

21) No weirdos

My view on what they are rationalizing away or disregarding isn’t relevant, nor do those voters who voted for Trump have to justify their choice to you or me.
