Good for her. I hope she finds peace for her own sake, but she owes Pantaleo nothing.

You "feel bad" you murdered someone? You "feel bad" ?! I "feel bad" I dropped by toast this morning and that I left my lunch in the fridge at home yesterday. You murdered someone and you escaped justice. Fuck you.

Is there somewhere that we can donate to this poor woman's legal fund? Because this is horseshit. He broke the explicitly stated rules, and someone lost their life. Screw that guy.

I'm sorry but this is bullshit. If you heard probably 99% of the pop stars these days sing live "unplugged" with no reverb or accompaniment I doubt it would be much better. Beyonce can't sing half as well. Mariah has some def vocal problems, wear and tear from all the riffing and over singing, but this is unfair…

Nah, it's snark. He's hilarious (and Tina Fey reads his blog every morning).

This is a bit short-sighted because, if I recall correctly, holding one's hands in the air is also the international gesture for "I am not a demon with magical powers." So, I think the rallying symbol is accurate.

Regardless your #hottake on anything related to Ferguson, the gesture by the Rams players is pretty much the textbook definition of a peaceful protest. No one was hurt, no property was damaged, there was no offensive language, etc. It's crazy to me that anyone living in the United States of America could be offended…

If he thinks being poor is such a treat, why doesn't he live on 35,000 after taxes? I'd love to take whats left of his salary. Also poor people can sometime have nice things.

GodDAMMIT, Wisconsin! Get your SHIT TOGETHER.

In fairness: the investigation was underway when I started writing the story, and all the victims and their families spoke warmly of Detective Collett, the officer assigned to their case. They were really unhappy with Norman High School administrators, though, who they believed didn't do enough to put a stop to the…

But what the fuck! Why did it take a public outcry of THIS magnitude for the Norman PD to do their goddamn jobs? Are heads going to roll? Has anyone from the department offered his profound apologies?

Come on now. Pregnancy is your own fault. You don't deserve special accommodations for something you choose to do, as opposed to something outside your control like losing your license due to repeat DUIs.

I took her apology not to excuse Rice hitting her, but more as her saying that people shouldn't hit people. She was only speaking to her personal actions, not saying or implying that her slapping made her complicit in or justified Rice's response. If you read the ESPN transcript, she basically says "who am I to lay my…

uh greed.

Exactly. My boyfriend and I rough house quite a bit, and we've definitely stepped a little far and hurt one another at times. It's never been anything serious, just a bump here or there. I suppose I could imagine some crazy scenario where one of us accidentally hits the other one so bad they are knocked unconscious…

Lauer: Did anyone at the Ravens say, 'Janay, it would be really good if you issue some kind of an apology?

I'm kinda struggling to understand how one goes from completely nonviolent straight to outright KOing your wife.

Whether or not Janay Rice chooses to remain in this relationship is irrelevant. People stay in abusive relationships for all sorts of reasons. She can make that choice. It's not really about her at this point. If the NFL accepts a player who is videotaped beating his wife unconscious, it is sending a strong…

It breaks my heart that she thinks that being arrested is proof of her wrongdoing, or of her being complicit in her own assault. That she thinks being "suggested" to apologize was justified by her being complicit. Janay, nothing you could have possibly done justifies your being knocked unconscious and dragged out of…

Jesus H CHRIST - there is a lot of work going to defend the guy who knocked his wife unconscious on an elevator.
