I support the secessionist movement. The more emotional reasons are that the values of the more innovative, engines of the economies, ie the coasts, are ignored and we have to support the maddeningly regressive policies of provincials in the middle of the country. The more legitimate reason, however, is that the…

I know it sucks but it’s not easy for us males to understand, except when the tables are turned. I’m a doctor and when I run into patients outside of the clinic who start asking me medical questions when I’m not working, it kind of sucks. Although I’m too shy to ever go up to a stranger and tell them they are…

Stupid is as stupid does.

don’t apologize. That typo was perfect for President Snowflake McFragile

Hmmmm... if somehow we could take the fetuses and inject them into joints to repair injured cartilage, it would be a win-win for the pro-life AND pro-abortion crowd. I see absolutely no down-side to this idea, except for massively grotesque tumors. 

Sigh. I understand how much you guys hate Milo but what Bill did was necessary. I had no idea about Milo, but events made it seemed he was the anti-christ. Instead turns out, he is a vapid attention-seeker and nothing more and will soon fade to Z-list celebrity status. We are adults and should be able to listen or…

The clock actually restarts as soon as the player is off the field, so it’s not a time-out in the traditional sense. But to Ley’s point, I remember them snapping the ball with about 20 seconds left on the play clock after an injury and the clock restarting around the 7 minute mark

I am in Virginia and would be screwed if California seceeded. However, I still think California should seceed. If Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, and Colorado formed their own nation, the North East down to Maryland, possibly Northern Virginia and strangely DC, may consider it as well. It would starve the US gov’t of cash…

I feel it is becoming more and more apparent that the United States needs to split into more manageable territories, perhaps keeping within a larger trade/monetary union.

Kind of fitting. His last Superbowl victory he convinced everyone he actually deserved credit for leading the team to victory despite riding the coattails of a bunch of huge black guys who won the game for him despite him almost actively trying to lose it by playing. Then he gets to shill some alcohol and everyone…

I am an Indian male, coastal elite that has lived in the South and MidWest and I was at the March in DC. I was demoralized by the election but am PUMPED after Jan 21. I know that the setup of our gov’t favors rural areas but I have never seen liberals this energized and pissed off. There are movements popping up…

Patrick, this is a great blog and thing you are doing. Journalists are great, but sometimes it is better to have an expert write about their work/experiences from the inside looking out. This is a bit unrelated but I am a primary care physician and I think it would be great to also be able to share my work/experiences…

The most important tip: before cooking garlic, crush it and let it sit for 10 minutes so the compound alliin gets converted to allicin properly. Allicin is the major compound involved in garlic’s health promoting properties (antimicrobe, anticancer, cardiovascular, etc)

Since everyone thinks they are an expert on entire fields of healthcare, about 60% of Western medical practices are NOT supported by evidence. There are some dumb alternative therapies but there are many, particularly from other medical systems like Chinese medicine or Ayurveda that work pretty well. It will take…

Actually I think Okung is not bad... the left side of the line in general has been decent. But it may just look that way because the right side is fairly horrid

Of everyone, I think Denver misses Malik Jackson the most, not only for the run defense but because he was able to penetrate up the middle and allow Miller and Ware to basically bull rush and devour QBs 8-10 yards in the backfield; QBs can sit in the pocket and both Ware and Miller just rush past the QB. If Elway…

Less CTE than football, I’m sure.

Jays fan, so I’m biased but I agree with Bautista. Diaz did give the Jays some calls as well, but I didn’t recall it resulting in any strike outs like it did for Cleveland. In game 2, the top of the 9th trailing by a run, Encarnacion went down on 3-2 on a breaking ball that was clearly up and away and he was…

Here’s the thing. If the Dems win the Senate, this matters less. If they miraculously win the House, who the fuck cares what these mouthbreathers think, they will have less influence on policy at that point. Granted, winning the House seems difficult, but that needs to be the ultimate goal. Also, maybe I’m too naive…

God damn it. Everything about Chip Kelly was awesome in that line of questioning. I guess I’ll like him for a bit. Sigh
