I only recently got into his music, but everything I’ve heard by him was fantastic. The only place I’ll diverge from this piece is to add the fact that he never really stopped putting out music, putting out a covers album a couple of years ago and a wonderful album in 2015. It’s a shame he never even reached Marshall…

Some of these albums are good, some are bad, some are awful. Unless you give a reason for why an album sucks (and particularly so when categorizing music by gender or other factors), then it just reads like a random list. There’s a reason Rolling Stone and Pitchfork, et al, give justifications. They’re necessary…

Well, she is wearing a white shirt in her photo. Maybe that’s what got him confused. I know that the last time I wore plaid, everyone thought I was Scottish.

Tom Dunne—for a long time, Denver’s minor-league hockey team was the Colorado Rockies. The Avalanche didn’t come along until the 90s, when the Nordiques moved to Denver. And, of course, when their NL team came along, “Rockies” was no longer in use, so the baseball team took it. Hence, your confusion.

I live in Wyoming, and I’m embarrassed for my state...I personally prefer a good Highland Single Malt like Dalwhinnie, but bars don’t exactly carry it. Sigh...

Trying to convince my right-wing friends and family that progressive policy is often a good thing. And trying to convince my left-wing friends and family that some conservative policies have borne fruit.

Just have to say that Gyeong-ju is the ancient capitol of Korea. Yes, it’s touristy, with lots of nice hotels and trails and such, but to compare it to Branson is an insult. There are scads of ruins and temples and archaeological sites all over the place. If you must compare it to a touristy area, compare it to Angkor…

Is it just me, or did her statement sound like she was channeling Trump himself? I’m a smart women I have a high I.Q., I’ve been tested, I’ve been in gifted programs. So, I’m like, not a dummy.

Oh, she’s awful, all right. But she didn’t trash the place.

Most of these folks are, indeed, just stupid. But the cappucino lady and the ketchup lady are just plain awful human beings. I pity their families, their coworkers, and anyone else who is unfortunate enough to come in contact with them.

Atticus Finch is Harper Lee’s intellectual property. She has the right to do whatever she likes with him. All the flap over this aspect of the book is just the literary equivalent of “George Lucas raped my childhood.”

I was one of the backers, at the $250 level. First of all, props to Cryptozooic for taking a hit and sending out games to backers. However, the upshot of this is that I no longer back anything that’s not coming from someone with a solid track record. I know I’ll never see my money or the promised perks, and all that…

I know someone’s probably already said this, but I’ve never considered Kirk Langstrom a villain. He’s a conflicted man who’s done some bad things while trapped in his Man-Bat form. I see him as one of the great tragic adversaries of Batman.

Fair enough. But in the absence of more evidence, I’m staying with sad for now. Excellent point, though.

I agree completely.

I actually felt sorry for the poor schmuck. It must have been torture for all involved, especially once he figured it out. To carry a torch that long and not pick up on any clues, to remain so in the dark...it’s much more sad than disturbing.

As a high school teacher, I’ve got to say I’m appalled by that principal’s decision. And outing him to his parents? That is up to him, and him only. Evan Young is a class act, and Mr. Buchmann should be reprimanded by the superintendent for preventing Young from speaking.

You know, I was about to jump in with the shaming (although she should never teach again), which is ironic when you consider I was just finishing up Jon Ronson’s new book, So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed. She’s already been to prison, and no Board of Education in any state in the US will let her teach, as is the…

@Carrie Halliwell—I've coached speech and debate, as well as drama...if one of my kids had done that, they'd be in deep shit. My kids understood that. Pity this coach's kids didn't. Even those kids should know better. On behalf of high school coaches everywhere, I'm glad you did what you did. The smart-ass…

The problem is, since Citizen's United effectively ruled that corporations are people, the SC might have set a precedent that allows McD's to use the 14th Amendment in their lawsuit.
