[...]the Senate Intelligence Committee initially requested that Flynn turn over any documents relevant to their investigation into Russia’s interference in the election on April 28, but Flynn denied the request.

It’s a fascinating time to be a poly-sci student. Sort of like being one during the collapse of the Soviet Union.

I was impressed, until the rainfall started—and then I was straight-up wowed by the fierce moves executed on slippery ground, and surrounded by a crazy close cluster of dancers. The kip-up was hella risky, and would have moved the needle to “blown away,” but finishing with a suicide flip definitely slotted Holland’s…

On an sideways note, I go with Paul Wall most days of the week.

You know your pro sports career is over when even Pontius Bayless washes his hands of you.

Okay, but was the 2012 event’s theme actually a combination Cinco de Mayo/World War Z, or is that just a whole bunch of unfortunate flashbulb glare?

The source added that Roy was wounded while shielding children who were there.

Good God almighty, that picture... Was the frat party a racist, brownface, Cinco de Mayo of the Walking Dead-themed affair?

Yeesh. Maybe it’s a lot more complex than I had assumed. Still, no matter how experienced a climber I happened to be, if a Sherpa tells me not to climb a particular mountain, then I’m not climbing that mountain.

Whoa. Fascinating stuff. Thank you for the link!

So they did! Thank you for the heads-up!

Waitaminit, Sherpas are the people that make climbing even possible on a whole bunch of hella tough mountains. Who the fuck gets in a fistfight with a Sherpa?!?

I think a lot of comment readers would love to read that story for themselves. Do you have a link?

[...] another OITNB thing where men complained about the lack of focus on men in a story by women about women in a women’s prison.

You...you do remember which candidate had detailed plans for boosting specific sectors of the economy, as well as a unifying economic strategy, don’t you? And plans for multiple aspects of foreign relations, from truculent hermit kingdoms to middle-eastern quagmires, and every other facet in between? And tax,…

I get laid by the ladies, ya know I’m in charge,

While BIG GENEOLOGY might have a problem with your vision of an America without ethnic identifiers, I’ve no great motivation to argue against it, or you. I will, however, point out that ethnic identity indicates ethnic relatives, which means a good possibility of access to ethnic food. So knowing that the new guy in…

I’m pretty sure that Canzano, who came to Portland as the Oregonian’s lead sports columnist at the very end of 2002, feels a gnawing, empty pit within his soul for missing out on the truly glorious “Jailblazers” era of 1999-2002.

Ok, this bullshit is getting tiresome. Make up your mind! Do you want to be a Latino[...] do you want to be Arab, or do you want to be American?

Ooh, neat! I had no idea, but it’s not super-surprising—lots of old European religious vestments look villainous by modern standards. Heck, some of the Apostolic Armenian religious-wear look like something that Death Eaters would wear, if Prince designed their uniforms.
