Sadly, our Big Wet President will not be throwing out the ceremonial first pitch on Sunday—though, as we’ve argued before, it would be the perfect thing to heal our divided nation

I love Steely Dan but I’d never play them at a social gathering, unless everyone was on acid. Then that’s all I’d play. Seriously, they were all I could listen to the one time I did acid.

I recently took my dad to see Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band and even at 92 years old (or whatever) he still rocked. He should be, like, No. 40 or something.

You go into a slack to try to find a single person to talk to about why there are no cigarettes in the Yesterday universe one time, and you create a monster.

Unlike his non-fictional account of a time traveling Samurai

There are no human beings that are actually 5'11". If a man tells you he’s 5'11", he’s 5'10" and wants to be 6', and if a woman tells you she’s 5'11", she’s 6' and doesn’t want to intimidate the men who lie about being 5'11". 

1. 6'4"

No, down. A 5'11.5 person isn’t 6 foot. 

Legitimately seems like Ogletree was giving up, and Peppers was trying to push him to go. Maybe the hamstring injury happened during the run?

Bernie absolutely deserves lots of credit for the things you mention, except this gives me a little side-eye:

Yang’s not a joke, he’s an early single issue pioneer. UBI will be in the 2040 Democratic platform.  Not Yang’s Silicion Valley techbro version of it, but an effective living income version.  We’re approaching an environment where 50% of the population will literally not have a marketable skill, so unless you want…

I was a tepid supporter of Bernie in 2016, but not today. I’ll tell you the difference between Bernie and Warren: Warren has a well constructed platform of interwoven policies and plans for the future. The talking points they both spout are similar, but Warren has done the groundwork and the math.

She has a totally different personality and message than Hillary. Her policies are much closer to Bernie’s than Hillary’s.

This comment epitomizes why people are turned off so much by Bernie supporters and why as a result it’s dooming Bernie himself. Bernie Bros are more concerned about saying “I told you so.” than the actual issues. You want a pat on the back?

For the sake of the Sanders campaign, I would hope they don’t think that’s the only difference between the two. Because it would be a huge argument for Warren!

I’ve always thought “peckerwood” packed a nice punch.

A few years ago one of my cousins married a girl from Nashville. The night before the wedding - after driving around past old plantations all day - we go out for drinks on Broadway, and my only takeaway was that the women there were a perfect analogy to the city, the south, and frankly, the entire country: blonde…

I drove from Indy for that week 17 game. It was glorious. The disappointment was delicious.
