Meh, he can just say that he thinks “the anniversary of 9/11" lasts all week, and 9/13 was close enough to be considered objectionable. Just like the “Ground Zero mosque” was planned to be a few blocks away from the World Trade Center site but that somehow still counted as “at” ground zero for millions of people.

If Warren or Sanders wins the party’s presidential nomination, there will be pressure in the Senate to adopt their proposals. And there could be tensions between a nominee and senators who do not back their proposals.

Your mom can’t read.

far more indicative of senility than racism

There are pretty much no dibs in NYC, for what it’s worth. Some people will try it, and you probably shouldn’t mess with them because they are almost certainly psychopaths, but most NYkers know that parking is dog-eat-dog, first-come-first-served.

Expelling them from the university is too much for several reasons. First, it’s too much punishment for ignorant stupidity, but more importantly, it becomes a recruiting tool for the KKK.

James Byrd deserves more outrage than a stupid white college girl in blackface.

They want to scare him into turning Liberal!

I’ve often thought that there should be a Facebook for art, where you go to a museum and “like” a piece. Your friends get to see that piece in your feed. Then you can browse the rest of the artist’s work, make a sort of bucket list, and hunt down more art. The potential for marketing for museums, galleries, and…

Thanks. I like to hit that area for lunch on my way in to work (rather than staying in the subway system and walking that long, depressing 42nd street transfer) so I’ll check it out.

This is all true, but on the other hand the pizza is pretty good.

These are extra funny if you know what Shnippers is. It’s a vaguely depressing, slighty bougie cafeteria that serves hamburgers and tater tots.

instead of having to rely on the whims of the customers...

There are plenty of perfectly legit NYC restaurants that have gone “no tip,” including the whole Danny Meyer empire (Gramercy Tavern, Union Sq. Cafe, The Modern). Also, high-end sushi restaurants in NYC (like Sushi Yasuda) are no-tip in the Japanese tradition.

I suspect this is all because of the open warrant. Probably Grant was being vetted by the secret service and the warrant was discovered. That puts cops in a bind - they don’t want to not arrest him (because the guy’s not white so the rule of law is important), but they know that they’ll look bad if they do arrest him.…

“I can’t wait till we get a movie about a false rape accusation,” said no one ever this fucking guy.

You read/hear the whole quote, and you can tell it’s of someone for whom English is a second language.

A smaller menu was the key to McDonalds success decades ago.

He’s saying “I’m grateful for the small number of people I currently interact with online, as it gives a shred of meaning to my pathetic existence. But I used to make money and now I don’t.”
