Fortunately, I know lawyers with hearts and souls and empathy and consciences and rock-solid ethics. They do exist. I don’t even know that they’re rare.

The key is that word “unfettered”. Like almost everything else under the sun, Capitalism is neither a good nor a bad thing inherently and implicitly in all circumstances. It depends very much how we use it, how much of it there is and how it applies to a given circumstance. Economic opportunity that allows for new…

I didn’t tell you to change your tone.  I didn’t say that Mr. Nancy’s speech was untrue or didn’t resonate.  I simply said that you’re attacking overreaction to peaceful but sincere protests against injustice with what amounts to an incitement to horrific murder, and you know it.  Context is still king.

Tuna might be more popular if the industry that produces it stopped grinding up dolphins and lying about it. A decal on a label is not environmental responsibility, it’s a marketing gimmick. I don’t believe for a second there are USDA inspectors on tuna boats making sure they aren’t killing dolphins, and even if there…

Okay, I’m with you in principle, and I admit that rich, white folks do a lot of pearl-clutching about their property values and “looters” the instant angry protestors show up, no matter how otherwise well behaved they are.

Isn’t 99 cents a bit steep for a sandwich, for that time period? Minimum wage was $1 in 1958...

Too bad the “process” they are obligated to follow prior to termination includes paid vacation time and then NOT FIRING ANYBODY, I’m sure.  But what can you do?  Gotta follow the rules (when it suits them).

You’ll only see this in years where the Senate has a very comfy GOP majority, as it does now. Democrats don’t want actual campaign finance reform any more than mice want a better mousetrap. But it’s good political theater to be able to blame your opponents for not passing reform when you can safely be assured it has…

Republican claim: “Teh poor brown immigrants criminals are bankrupting our economy with entitlements!”

Speak for yourself. Some of us still despair at the choice between Wal-Mart and Aldi versions of plain sliced turkey. It’s a choice between “can’t afford”, “tasteless” or “actively tastes terrible” over here. So I eat a lot less sandwiches now...

Relax. Granted, that could have gone the other way had the judge had his head wedged up his rectum as solidly as the proponents of the law in question. But it didn’t.

There’s no need for name calling. Yes, most of McDonalds menu is cheap crap, but the breakfast sandwiches (the normal ones, not the crap with pancakes for buns) are and have always been a notable exception.

If you’re in the Northeast like I am and can get to a Wawa, they’re a pretty good close second, if only because they appear to put some actual work and value into their offerings. They still don’t have that magic that Mickey D does, though, even if the deal (more sandwich and/or free or discounted coffee for less…

You do realize that “3rd-party vendor” in the statement about the venues where they do offer Kosher food, likely means “brought-in-and-reheated, pre-packaged Kosher airline food”, right?

Starbucks? Really? Might as well put the “PAID ARTICLE” disclaimer right at the top, ‘cause that’s some quality shilling right there.

I was honestly expecting the explanation to be that the damned thing was a hyper-realistic sculpture or fiberglass decoration or something.  She should blow out her knees every time she takes a step...

The guy’s scum, no doubt, but this is just a tiny bit, just the most ifinitessimally detectable amount racist. Or is it just bigoted since Nordic folks are white?

HIs point is that Jews fleeing persecution in 1930s Germany were innocent, blameless, good people, but the folks in Tijuana right now are all a bunch of MS13 criminal scum.

Especially for the growing number of Americans who struggle to afford soda, (which is why it’s the #1 most purchased comestible in SNAP), let alone your fancy millennial drinks.

Even a sandwich with what amounts to a single ounce of cheese and half as much Grade D cold cuts as should be on that much bread, along with 5 cents of shredded lettuce, the cheapest possible pickles, and a quarter of an anemic tomato costs more than $5 with the way Big Food is gouging everyone these days. Store-brand…
