I think that one of the main reasons these jokes are considered acceptable is the way it was framed by the media - as a Barnes vs. Fisher battle . Two rich men acting like High Schoolers over a girl is funny. However, that framing eliminates Gloria from the story. By doing so, it eliminates the real terror that must…

Marchman and the deadspin staff workshopped the names, and then I did my thing on the logos.

Over, because we (US), is not properly postured yet in the region to gain total air and sea superiority within hours...which we will likely do at some point when a “mistake” happens.

Russians seem to be using Syria as a live fire training exercise for their forces.

That Hind slow-mo is almost dirty.

calm down comrade

“Paul! What happened to your house??!”

I bet CC Sabathia was even more upset he missed the game when he heard that the stadium was full of boos.

I’ve read these in their various collections (thanks, public library system!) and I’m glad that they’re finally collected in one volume. Westeros has such a great sense of history that it’s always cool to read about events outside of the main ASoIaF storyline.

Yea, but this was just ghostwritten by Craggs and Marchman, with help from Ta-Nehisi Coates’ secret email list.

Coates is, in my opinion, the greatest writer of this time, in regards to his skill and the fact that he manages to handle previously “taboo” subjects with the deftness of a virtuoso at Carnegie Hall, as well as the fact that he is a writer that legitimately excites when one of his projects is announced or released…

The Nazi stuff reminds me of my favorite story of racist war spoils: in the civil war, Minnesota sent one of if not the first (don’t recall my history too well) battalions to go fight. They were pretty good, and ended up capturing the Virginia state house, and taking its racist confederate flag. Fast forward a century…

Eh, Philadelphians just love to steal and beat the shit out of trash. Just ask HitchBOT.

I’ve been eventually dumped or rejected or made to feel like shit in some capacity by almost every dude I’ve ever fucked or wanted to fuck and yet somehow I’ve managed to never mass murder

Bollocks.

I love how all you rightwing morons think that not starting wars every few weeks is a lack of leadership.

You give Putin way too much credit. And you overcomplicate things. Russia is helping Syria for one thing, and one thing alone: to prevent regime change and the installation of a pro-western leader who would then approve and open up Syria to the most crucial part of the proposed Qatar-to-Turkey gas pipeline.

Actually this is really a proxy war for us through the Sunni states such as Saudi Arabia. They are rich enough to be just as well armed, albeit with fewer men, as Russia. Getting the rebels to fight the Assad regime is a simply a means to an end and financially the Saudis will long outlast the Sovie... Err...…

So you and the rest of the Tea.O.P can damn him either way. Hypocrites.

So what is your strategy? War with Russia? NATO is staying completely out of the Middle East simply because of the mess Bush made, it’s unpredictable because of all the damage done. There is no rational reason to begin combat operations in Syria.
