From what I can tell, these stories are documentaries; they relate events that occurred. If they sound mean and vindictive it is because dealing with the public (especially today) and their relationship with food should qualify as a hazardous and life-shortening activity, rife with the kind of viciousness and cruelty…

Well, thanks for the heads-up.

Without even going to the link you posted, I smell an opinion by the judicial bully we know as Scalia. Despite not-so-Supreme Court decisions that violate public policy and articulated custom and usage (does the phrase "To serve and protect" ring a bell?), exalting a court's decision that flies in the face of logic…

No snark whatsoever, but guess what? A cop's main purpose is to protect the public, not other cops. In fact, that's what makes the job so honorable: people who wear the badge swear an oath to serve and protect, with the express understanding that to do so may put them in harm's way.

Delusion is rarely pretty, and it's never uglier than when it's manifested in its most virulent form: self-delusion.

I think this video should be a litmus test: If you can watch this and not be moved to ask yourself how it is you can feel put upon, cheated, victimized, fill in the malady-of-your-choice-here, or in the alternative, just the sheer bliss to be had by an act as simply life-affirming as running on the beach on a sunny…

One could make the argument that the author of the piece thought that it underscored the ludicrousness of the point by stating it as if it were fact, something that gets done with alarming regularity. And that the best lessons are the ones the student learns in their own time, when given an opportunity.

This piece is a tour-de-force, simply put.

The man is an existential black hole.

This man is singlehandedly killing comedy.

"A 74-year-old woman has been released from prison after serving more than three decades for a crime she has now been cleared."

As a budding super model/It Girl du jour, I can personally attest that there is nothing inherently dangerous about weighing 40 pounds; I weigh 40 pounds.

Reality TV just hung a sharp left down Weird Boulevard…

Mr. Sanders was carrying on a tradition established by Jim Brown, the absolute king of the indifferent ball-flip to the ref immediately after scoring yet another touchdown. And it's rapidly become my favorite post-touchdown move.

Having delivered pies, aka pizza, as a youth, and having collected more than my fair share of stories based on the nature of the job, this kid definitely hit the Powerball of Pizza Delivery Stories of all time.

Though I think it's wonderful that Ms. Lange is spearheading what I hope is a trend to include artists of all ages in campaigns like this, I would feel a lot better about it if I didn't have the not-so-sneaking suspicion that she has had surgery done to mask time's passage.

I suddenly had this vision where we forced Arizona and Texas to secede from the Union. But we would do it civilly.

Ah, the ivory tower of Academia, and the benefits it confers on its Disciples…

So it turns out that the latest variant of the blind leading the blind is the blindingly ignorant offering insights so dim into episodes so unacceptable that not even light can escape them.

I think Mr. Franco's op-ed piece, if it is an op-ed piece, is worthy. Of scorn, derision, and a level of self-importance that is both toxic and risible.
