Old white guy here! White guys are angry BECAUSE white guys run most of the companies, possess most of the money, own most of the land, and are most of our elected officials and law enforcement officers. They are none of those things or when they are it is still not what they hoped for. They have been convinced it was…

I did a consulting gig with a very well-known, upscale discount retailer in the US. Every one of their checkout lanes has a camera watching it and every register can be called up at a central location to make real-time comparisons. The system was installed to monitor for employee theft long before self checkout became…

We eat at a breakfast place in suburban Minneapolis (Fat Nats - it is a must if you are around & NOT worried about your heart health!). We frequently see a man there that has no arms eating with his feet. I admit it is unnerving to see but it is also real life and not something to hide or refuse service over.

Two fat asses meet to exchange sex tapes, welcome to America at the dawn of the 21st century

why not both? Second Baseman & and shortstops have put up with this for a hundred years.

We need some clinical trials. Lets inject the good doctor with the ebola virus and let him treat it with his sound cure..

A) unload the unfunny, untalented James

Seriously? You are that stupid? You know the hockey team is all white & nobody complains about it. Culture describes the path, badmitten has a strong place in Asian culture (the Olympic golds all go to Asian nations). The practices are open to anyone that wants to put in the work but it is not (as of yet) a big deal…

I graduated from St. Paul Johnson in 1970. It was mostly white and a hockey powerhouse that was fading. Whirlpool, 3M and a couple other large employers that had been the backbone of the East side for years started to move jobs overseas and the neighborhood became very depressed. There was a lot of white flight when…

Randall McDaniel taught at my wife’s school (he is a great guy BTW). At a party one time I asked him if the hype that he could slam dunk from a standing start was true. The guy was at least 325 ‘only’ 6'4". Yeah, even in street clothes he could slam on a 10' basket.

That is a totally underappreciated comment - pure brilliance, have my meager little star.

Years ago the no-choice people decried China’s one child policy since it led to girls being aborted so they could try till they got a son. At the time I said the problem would solve itself in 20-30 years. It may not be peaceful but it will self-correct.

Israel is a touch point for many talibangelical Christians. Its part of the end times lore. The Soviet Union is currently fondly remembered by the right for is firm handed daddy leadership. It is not hard to draw a line between these & the Nazis, their ‘thinking’ is just that screwed up.

I was at Interop back in pre-history and Microsoft was demoing Windows 3.1. The guy showed how you could click on an icon & open a folder etc. He had the whole thing nicely scripted. When he was done he moved to the side to take questions so I stepped up, grabbed the mouse & started trying to navigate around. What he…

Back in the 90s Clinton proposed a security bill that would have established cooperation between various agencies and monitoring efforts focused on radical groups like Al Quada. Fox, the wingnut Wurlitzer and the GOP wasted no time in decrying the heavy-handed jackbooted thugs of the left who were crushing freedom.

Anything just so long as we do not blame the toxic gun culture of America

I did not know how unique the USA is among Western industrialized nations. Apparently the USA alone has access to facebook, video games, porn, Hollywood shoot-em-ups, schools with multiple sets of doors, unposted sets of the 10 commandments, heavy metal music and Ritalin. But that must be the case since the USA alone…

It is the “Serengeti” principle. You are part of a herd of wildebeests and the lion is going to take some of the wildebeests no matter what you do. Your goal as a wildebeest is to make other wildebeests look like better targets.

go back to drinking dickwad

This is not really news. The main thrust of GOP efforts (voter ID laws, restricted hours, fewer polling places in communities of color) have been to prevent people of color and poor people from voting.
