Nope. Just another Greek who is with your co-worker on this one.

Also, seems like he looked at the man in the mirror and asked him to change his ways.

Here, have another star.

Chobani is rubbish. I’m of Greek extraction, and I can tell you that of all the major brands of Greek yogurt, Fage is the best.

As a card-carrying Greek, I can tell you that Chobani is rubbish (I don’t just say this because the owner of the company is Turkish). Of all the major yogurt companies, Fage makes the best Greek yogurt (it’s the brand you find in Greek markets and convenience stores, and it really is a more accurate representation of…

What part of “some demographers would classify him as a Gen-Xer” did you not understand? Some would classify him as a Boomer born at the very tail end of the generation, others as a Gen-Xer. Whatever the case he (and likely you) are probably not very much like Boomers in the classic sense.

Barack Obama was born in 1961. Some demographers would classify him as a Gen-Xer. And I am sorry if the truth hurts. I realize that not every Baby Boomer is to blame for this mess and that many fight (and have fought) for good causes, but as a generation? Yes, they are to blame seeing as how they’ve controlled all the…

I’ve been there, so I really feel for him. On one occasion I blew out an ankle so badly that it swelled up like a grapefruit and I had a black bruise running all the way down the side of my foot. I could practically hear ligaments popping, and then I hit the wood hard. I was on crutches for weeks, and it was probably…

Good for these kids. Unfortunately, if the Boomers did nothing after Sandy Hook, they will never do anything. The only answer is to make them pay at the ballot box. Sooner would be better than later as they are leaving behind a bunch of other messes Gen-X and the Millennials need to clean up. That extends to younger…

Are you younger than 30? Because high-cut leotards were all the rage in the 80s.

I hear you. As a practical matter, yes, one takes allies where one finds them and so if it takes a “come to Jesus” moment, so be it. However, it is really sad that many people lack zero empathy until they themselves are directly affected. It doesn’t speak well of our collective values, and it’s why certain people…

This is a problem with many conservatives more generally. They are vehemently opposed to the ACA, abortion rights, etc. until they or those close to them are directly affected by a medical crisis, unwanted or non-viable pregnancy, etc. Then they have these “come to Jesus” moments (or, worse, in the case of abortion,…

Administrators protecting an institution at all costs and whitewashing their handling of a horrendous situation? Where, oh where, have we seen this before?

Great piece.

Raisman and others should absolutely go after any organizations which enabled Nassar. As I mentioned in a response to another comment, I wholeheartedly believe the failure to do anything about Nassar stems from a toxic and pervasive culture in this country of pursuing success (or rather, our definition of it - i.e.,…

Imho, it’s because we’ve got a toxic and pervasive culture in this country of pursuing success (or rather, our definition of it - i.e., being number 1) and the almighty dollar at the expense of common decency. I sincerely believe that, among other factors, it’s why JoePa and other Penn State officials did nothing…

He needs to just go whole-hog and rock a completely bald head. This style does little to draw attention away from the fact he’s balding early.

Yep. And the Gen-Xers were just never a large enough group to challenge the Boomers. Tired Old Feminist’s question is frankly ludicrous.

Heh, no worries.

The boomers paid a fraction of the costs the rest of us have paid for higher education. If they’ve had to fund their own retirement it’s their own fault for electing politicians who have chosen to mortgage our future to pay for unnecessary wars. When I get notices from Social Security in the mail telling me that I’ll…
