I've seen Trooper Dan sing the anthem a few times at sporting events, and each time has been a generally loathesome experience. While I do not doubt his sincere love of the US, his performance comes off as Lee Greenwood Knee Jerk Patriotic Narcissism, rather than a respectful performance of our national song. He's the…

I'd say that depending on the district, you can get a studio for a deposit as low as 5,000USD and monthly payments of about 400USD, but the average for a studio in, say, the downtown Gwangwhamun area is running about 10,000/700 right now. South of the Han River probably adds another 10-20% to your costs for…

My place in Seoul isn't bad at all, either, and Seoul is one of the most densely populated cities on earth. I have a small freestanding house with a bedroom, kitchen/dining, and living room, bathroom, storage, and outdoor space in a downtown area. I also pay less per month than I paid to share a room in LA, albeit…

Well, regardless of whether or not they have antipathy with regard to Native Americans, the "Chief Wahoo" logo/mascot is deeply problematic in itself. I know that a lot of Cleveland fans would deny this based on their belief that a lack of malicious intent absolves them from having to show even a modicum of…

Considering the mascot is incredibly racist and every American over the age of eight knows that painting your face to mock another race is incredibly inappropriate... yes. They must be racist.

Those top photos which start the article might exist in some sideways dong (residential area) in Seoul or Busan, but they don't exist everywhere. In fact (thanks author) more of the current remodeled goshitels do look like that the closer to the city centre (Gangnam, Seoul; Haeundae, Busan) you go. Even though you…

For one of the other times we got real close, we have this man to thank who, yesterday thirty years ago exactly, didn't panic and thereby prevented an all out nuclear war.

Buzz.... Your Girlfriend..... Woof

When I was 15, I caught a Chris Hoiles foul ball (uncontested) at an O's game. After the catch, some fat turd came up to me and gave me this sad face. The boy wasn't even in the radius where he could reasonably have had a chance at the ball. His garbage mom gave me the whole, "Awwww, look at hiiim. He just wants…

It's Japan. They all live to be 170 years old now a days.

I understand that this is a car blog and that you cover all aspects of car culture, but I kinda think that this is one of the few things that is better left unpublicized. Internet fame is all these jackasses are after, and any mention of them (even when followed by stern warnings that what they did is stupid and no…

Intellectually, I agree with your fundamental premise, Scott. It's clear that a lot of the blood lust against A-Rod is personal and that the general vendetta against PEDs is based on hysteria more than it is reason. But, that said, I strongly disagree with how
you get to your conclusion.
