A nuanced, intelligent, fact-based comment. Thank you Renard.

At least Gawker had charm. Splinter is like hanging out with the freshman who thinks their poly sci lecture is a dialogue. 

Sure but I don't think getting all of your readers to say "you're wrong" is a perfect long term strategy. 

Barack Obama was dealt the worst hand of any president in history. And what did he do with it? He turned it into f*cking aces.

Excellent point.  I believe that is why Obama is putting his energies into rallying the vote.  It is a message that needs to be heard every election. 

Fuck. And we all fell for it.

But given that the youth vote has always been pathetically low, I don’t think they bear the majority of the blame.

That is what got us in this situation in the first place: inaction in voting and the idea of the perfect candidate. Do I agree that the Dems need better candidates? Yes. Does there need to be a critical discussion about who the Dems are putting up? Absolutely. Was Obama’s speech the place for the argument? No. People…

Comments like this are why I love Splinter.

LOL.....

It’s getting fucking ridiculous. I don’t need this site to be HuffPost or Vox or something...but come on. This is stupid at this point.

Aside from him saying that sexual harassment wasn’t a deal breaker to be on the SCOTUS, Biden and his willingness to let Thomas be passed to a full confirmation vote in the spirit of ‘bipartisanship’ and the hope that the GOP would reciprocate such behavior in the future, is a prime example of why Democrats have…

I think he and Keanu are one of my few ‘90’s crushes who didn’t turn out to be gross creeps. I’m glad to hear that

My company worked with him a lot - I never did, personally - and I can tell you every story I heard was charming and lovely. Selfie? Yes. If I call my brother will you say hi? Yes. And very cooperative with production folks. I’m on board.

That’s so nice to know! You just assume people are douchebags, so it’s nice to hear of someone who’s not.

This gives me the warm fuzzies! I am roughly the same age (a little younger, ahem) as Hawk and have always loved watching him skate, break records, set records, create tricks etc. Brings back many, many good memories... and the style!!! Vision Street Wear, checkerboard Vans, baggy pants, sewing patches on my Levi’s…
