Any collection of good writing about Muhammad Ali has to include this George Carlin bit:

See, that’s the problem: The teachings and principles are NOT static, at all.

American Christianity is downright sociopathic. If you wrong someone, you don’t have to make amends. You don’t have to apologize. You don’t even have to stop doing it, because we’re all sinners anyway. You just have to request forgiveness from your imaginary friend, in a ritual that no one else has to see.

Religious universities, in particular, have struggled to suss out the interrelationship between moral dictates and the judicious treatment of victims.

Infomercials have more believeable acting than this.

Rrrrright. John Swofford has been begging UConn to join the ACC, but they keep turning it down to stay in a conference with UCF and Tulsa for one-tenth the TV revenue. Take another hit, bro, that’s some good stuff you’re smoking.

That picture always reminds me of the “Clockwork Orange” movie poster.

Are you seriously suggesting that the only reason schools aren’t in power conferences is because they didn’t ASK?

Iron is better than wheelbarrow, in that at least the iron will sit flat. But both had the same underlying problem (in my set, anyway) of being lightweight relative to the other pieces. They seemed to be made out of plastic, while the more popular pieces were metallic and had a satisfying heft to them.

I’ll agree with you that the sequel has a clearer and scarier villain. But give Walter Peck his due. He only appears in the second act of the movie, but he drives the conflict. Until then, we’ve only seen the Ghostbusters go into business, say funny things, and hint at a coming apocalypse. Peck causes the apocalypse,

Ghostbusters has a charismatic, terrifying villain: Walter Peck.

The man you’re looking for is Kevin Kelley. There’s plenty on the Internet about him. Football will instantly become a better sport the day he gets a college job. And yes, it needs to be at a terrible program.

Die.

That paragraph confused me, too. I parsed it as “yes, there are isolated cases where gay adoption might be preferable, but we don’t want to condone that on a societal level.”

She should be jailed for contempt until she signs a marriage license by hand, resigns her position, or her term ends.

The Browns have joined the Dolphins, Falcons, and other teams in uniform changes that make them look like the unlicensed version of themselves.

Just once, I wish these people would have their own logic used on them.

I’m glad you posted the less snarky version too. The Internet being what it is, it’s nice to have a polite debate every once in awhile.

I can see that. Now that I look at it again, I think her mistake was committing too early to the idea of putting the ball into orbit. (You can see her winding up.) When the ball come off with an unexpected spin, she was too committed and couldn’t adjust. Tough break.

The offensive player wasn’t that close, and no one else was even in the frame. She had time to trap and dribble out of there. My guess is that she thought the opponent was closer and rushed it when she didn’t have to.
