Plus it’s crazy how everyone is lauding the parenting skills of a guy who is probably one of the worst at sportsmanship in the NFL, targets people for injuries, and has a domestic violence arrest on his record.

Usually presidential pardons get issued in their last month of office.

Probably helps that he doesn’t become a lame duck until November, 2016.

Plus, he’s not lame duck yet. That happens in 14 months.

“Lame duck president” has a meaning. It’s the 10 week period between the November 2016 election and the January 2017 inauguration. He’s not a “lame duck” for the entirety of his second term...that’s asinine. If that were the case why would we bother with 2nd term presidents at all.

This new fucking election cycle....Obama is not a lame duck. He becomes a lame duck 14 months from now.

I hate you.

There’s also been studies showing frozen veggies are better than fresh, since fresh ones start to wilt and lose their nutrients even as they are being transported to and sitting in the grocery store. Freezing them at the factory locks them in stasis at peak ripeness. (Obviously you may have to adjust cooking…

If I was learning to pitch, I’d copy Greg Maddux’s motion out of self-preservation. Instead of falling off the mound off-balance and out of control, he’d end up facing home plate directly, legs spread and knees bent in the “ready” defensive position. Coincidentally, at 0:10 seconds of the first video I googled of him,…

Is she a neo-liberal and not just a plain conservative? (Though I don’t actually know what a neo-liberal is, honestly.) It’s a kinda interesting thing that Chicago has been staunchly Democratic for 85 years, but the Tribune editorial board has been staunchly Republican (stemming from then-ownership under the wealthy…

That’s a subset of a whole larger “too old for this” category: arranging plans for a large group of people and trying to satisfy them all. And you’d think smartphones would make this easier, but it just makes it worse. Now I just say “here’s what the plan is” and if don’t like it or show up late then too bad.

Concerts, IKEA furniture, sleeping on the floor, going out to the theater for mediocre movies, wearing contacts, buying a video game console, waiting in line for a bar, wearing a baseball hat for style rather than function, discovering more than maybe 1 new song a month, reality TV.

Though honestly, even his intended comment was pretty stupid/not that funny, so no big loss there.

Louisiana’s hate crimes statute makes it a crime not just to discriminate against someone based on race, color, or creed, but to commit a property crime that is motivated “because of actual or perceived membership or service in, or employment with, an organization.”

The elbow KO vs. Fryklund...my first thought was that’s a video game move and the opponent forgot to block. He even did like a “hold back for 2 seconds” charge move before releasing the elbow.

Jesus fucking christ, EA didn’t put him in jail or suspend him from playing. They just think it’s probably smarter to avoid using him as a marketing tool to sell a game. He could be charged tomorrow, he could be on trial in 6 months, and then they’re stuck with him already printed on the cover...it’s not a smart risk…

Losing a sponsorship deal is hardly “persecution”. And if you want to keep your celebrity endorsements then you’ve got to behave - that’s part of the deal, whether implicitly or explicitly. Kane goes out all the time and gets wasted and does stupid stuff, so even if he didn’t commit rape, he’s done a lot of stuff to…

Its cup-to-base proportion is definitely skewed.

Good genes

People talk about expensive bags and luggage lasting for years, but I’ve found that even cheap stuff like say, a $50 American Tourister rolling suitcase or a $20 backpack from Walmart will last for years. Unless you’re really pounding it.
