Oh my god.

The end of the film says he got two years, but was released after 6 months. Six months for shooting a young man in the back while he was lying face down, restrained.

I don't know if I can see this movie. The Oscar Grant story is heartbreaking. That cop shot him in the fucking back and got two years.

Dear Jez, I think we need a break from this dude's news for a min.

Maybe she's happy because she gets a bead for her necklace every time she denies justice to a black kid...

THIS. Her smile is basically 'see, I told you it wouldn't work. What do you want from me?'

The prosecution never wanted to win. They didn't even want to file.

No, I didn't, but I certainly have no idea what it's like to be treated as a boy either.

I know Glee has gone downhill in recent years, but I'll be watching that first glorious episode in remembrance tonight.

I think we are initially offered male privilege prior to transitioning, but I think it's really easy to get it revoked. We can still have it in really, really quick exchanges.

I really, really hope so, and if they're asking for clarification, it makes me slightly more hopeful. But it's Florida, which is a great state to kill a black person and get away with it, and it's a nearly all-white jury.

Stephen Colbert.

Not quite as good as the one where all Arnold Schwarzenegger movies are one huge story where Conan insults Crom ("and if not, then to hell with you"), leading Crom to curse him with eternal life, leading him to wander the earth eventually forgetting who he is, fighting wars and confilcts throughout time until the…

I agree with the comment about Dre, but to consider Sofia Vergara a comedian is ridiculous. Better argument with Fey, Handler, Poehl...but Vergara is not a comedian. And comparing hip hop to comedians is like apples to oranges. Is there a comedic actress section? That would seem more fitting than to lump them in…

I saw these last night. "Civil Rice" and "Chef Boy-are-you-lookin-me-in-the-eye-ar-dee" were my personal favorites.

Funny, but also kindof cruel. Especially since a lot of Dreamworks' latest stuff has been very good.

Dwight played this all wrong. If you don't want to stay with Kobe, you're supposed to at least get a giant fucking ring out of it.

My favorite, spotted at Smith College several years back:

One of my favorite books is The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. The narrator* is an elderly lady who always makes it a point to narrate the graffiti in the restroom stalls. The book was published either in 2000 or 2001.
