You forgot thinks he’s the cool dad because he smokes weed with his 13-year-old son’s friends.

Oooh, do I smell fan fiction? Troymaine Pope, Pope of Troy, Maine

EDIT: I can’t math.

Maybe I’m just burnt out and overly cynical, but how in the blue fuck do you build a bridge with that sort of stupidity (willful or otherwise)? How do you find common ground with people who deny reality itself? Colonizing another planet seems more realistic than reaching any sort of understanding with those idiots.

Something about this one makes me nervous, like there’s something serious going on here that the Bears are content to sweep under the rug in the name of Footbaw. I have absolutely no knowledge of the situation, of course, but the hushed tones (particularly the Mack quote above) and the cloak-and-dagger act give me a…

I hereby propose that we start an Internet Rumor that Dan Snyder is courting Dabo Swinney. There’s no downside. Either:

Allow me to illustrate using one of many basic demand curve illustrations all over the internet:

One of the first things my wife and I bonded over when we were dating was how crazy our mothers are. Her mom would do or say something, and we’d shake our heads and say she’d taken the lead in the crazy race. Then my mom would do something and she’d pull ahead.

WOOOOOO The Sabres aren’t in the junk heap!

And one more:

With a wealth tax rate of 90% above a billion dollars there is basically 0 incentive for ever being worth more than a billion dollars.

Biden is too old and unhealthy to run. Warren is old, but not as old as Sanders or Biden, and is in great health by all appearances.

Gosh, do I really have to explain progressive taxation? I’m saying that dollars (of extant wealth, not income) 0-99,999,999.99 wouldn’t be taxed, dollars 100,000,000-999,999,999.99 would be taxed at one rate (or a series of incrementally increasing rates), and dollars 1,000,000,000 would be taxed at the highest rate.

I'm dismayed at how small the rates are in Sanders' and Warren's proposals. I'd like to see wealth at more than, say, $100,000,000 taxed at something like 50%, and anything over a billion taxed at 90% or more.

In my head canon, he placed a lot of orders over the phone.

I was going to ask why in the world Biden holds such a substantial lead over Warren among black voters in South Carolina, but this explains it. I don’t agree with any of it, but I appreciate the sharing of the sentiment.

Trump is an obnoxious, cowardly, bullying dick, but I have less than a microfuck of sympathy for Rudy. I hope they’re cellmates.

UNCLE. It’s a grocery store chain. Did not know that. Now I do. Move on, cheesesteakheads.

Zen koan for the day: is Darren Rovell the Chris Cillizza of sports journalism, or is Chris Cillizza the Darren Rovell of political puditry?

Right on, dude. I’m one of those horrible people for whom “dude” is gender-neutral, and indeed, independent of whether or not something is human, or even animate. Daughter dawdling in the morning? “Gonna be late for school, dude.” Dog won’t stop jumping when I’m trying to put his leash on for a walk? “Knock it off,…
