I mean, it is? https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/demagogue. A bit archaic as usages go, but legitimate (unlike Kirk) nonetheless.

Bill Ford Jr. is the chairman (and former CEO) of Ford Motor Co. and the vice-chairman of the Lions. His dad was a powerful member of the board of directors into the 2000s. That family still runs the car company in every meaningful way.

The fundamental flaw in your argument is that we know what happens when countries have much broader unionization than the U.S. does, and it looks nothing like what you’re suggesting.

OECD data, corrected for purchasing power and currency, shows that US workers on average make $56,701/year. This puts us better off in…

The Dong Fairy delivers an A-Rod sex tape to your office tomorrow. Do you publish it?

What if it involves centaur cosplay?

That’s mitigated by the story that David Hall punched Gilbert in the face at a Birmingham bar after getting fired.

Or you could just go with the Citroen 2CV and have the shifter coming straight out of the firewall, which you then shove in and out to change gears.

(Then you watch someone who’s never driven one figure out the gear pattern. Reverse is where 1st usually lives, top left. 1st is bottom left, 2nd is top middle but…

I owned a 2CV. The baguettes I brought home from the boulangerie in it had more structural stability.

You can, in fact, permanently remove a toenail. Podiatrists will sometimes do it for nails that are constantly becoming ingrown.

Drew, I think I speak for all of us here when I tell you two things:

Not a single vote for a second-gen VW Scirocco? Jalopnik, you disappoint.

At least Kobe got the and-1 on the drive to the asshole hoop there by ignoring Nance’s attempt to give him a high-five.

That being said, maybe Nance was impressed by Kobe’s retro Laimbeer/Mahorn clothesline stylings or something and forgot that completing a high-five could be used in court as evidence that Kobe was…

For Boston fans, the Dave Dombrowski matrix of fan emotions:

The big issue to me about Dave Dombrowski wasn’t really that he couldn’t draft in Detroit, since he was still able to flip those crappy prospects for excellent major-league talent. Rather, I think the open question is how much of his ability to identify and steal sleepers from teams in trades was him versus the pro…

Your description of GM product development made me shake my head wryly at my desk here in the Renaissance Center.

Instead of sleeping, you should have asked this woman how she got her toenail clippers past the all-seeing Sauron eye of the TSA.

Or, more likely, a straight edge tattoo. People draw or tattoo “X” on their hands as a statement/reminder that they don’t drink/smoke/do drugs.

Your “And then, when you get back, take a hundred-dollar bill out of your wallet and light it on fire” line reminds me of an old joke about sailboat racing:

My wife had three Jettas, all with electrical problems. One required us to keep a socket wrench in the glovebox so that we could disconnect the battery terminals every few weeks when it would freeze halfway through the lock-unlock cycle. It took her third Jetta setting her on fire — literally, her heated seat burned…

My friends and I got together for the wild card game against Dallas last season with our sons. As four preteen boys who’re all big football fans started screaming and crying and dropping to their knees in anguish as the flag got picked up, the adult men in the room could only watch Lions fans being born and feel…

The bumblefuckery here is even worse when you compare them to the existing NPSL Cincinnati Saints (Tier 4, amateur, one level below USL) team that’s got actual fans who aren’t complete idiots.
