My mother nearly died of stage IV breast cancer.
My sister works for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

I don't hear people use "wop" or "kike" much either these days. Let's use those as team names!

Can i really only see 2 comments at a time? this is complete ass

Criticize the Toronto trade all you'd like, but this poster makes it painfully obvious Mark Buerhle didn't have a leg to stand on in Miami.

I don't know what they're upset about. I speak almost no Spanish and still understand them better than Joe Morgan.

Hell yeah! This is America! Anyone who reads these tweets can tell you our official language is Broken English.

Welcome to the 29% who thought George W Bush did a good job as President on 1/20/2009.

Congress gets to regulate interstate commerce. It is right there in the Constitution. I don't know if I'd support an outright ban on franchises moving, but we are in a situation now where franchises can extort municipalities by threatening to leave, taking money away from police, schools, and firefighters.
