I really want to snark this because I know it’s ridiculous, but I live in Green Bay and I just can’t. It’s honest and silly and clearly describes what most of us feel as Packer fans in WI. Good for this family for doing something different as a goodbye to their dad.

Roman Polanski sees great new opportunities in country where judges and journalists are vilified.

It’s time to admit the truth: there’s a serious problem with the physical punishment of children. Use violence of any kind on a child as discipline and the child internalizes the message that violence is an appropriate means of getting one’s way. You normalize violence and makes the child more insensitive to using it…

People aren’t seeing movies because they’ve become too expensive. In NYC, I pay on average, $15.00 a ticket. More if it’s in 3d or RPX or whatever tacked on nonsense charge. It’s a minimum of $50.00 just to sit down with my wife and kid. I enjoy going to the movies, but many people don’t have the luxury of ponying up…

But there’s no accounting for taste, the general audience in America considers Marvel movies to be the pinnacle of cinema at the moment.

Puzder is reportedly “very tired of the abuse...”

Unpopular opinion: Flying is actually an incredible value given that the above-mentioned flying greyhound bus can put you anywhere in the country in a handful of hours and just about anywhere in the world in less than a day.

Steve Bannon and I share this problem

Are there a ton of Yemeni-owned KFC franchises?

I took a similar oath:

Bubba, when I took my oath of allegiance, I didn’t have to offer fealty to the President. But I did have to affirm this:

I’m torn. I’m a veteran of the 1st Iraq Shit Show and the Cold War. I didn’t join out of patriotism, I was in a crappy small town and I wanted out. It worked. Being the military actually MADE me a Liberal. (Kind of hard to hate people for the color of their skin when you share a life with them, hard to hate…

I used to volunteer a lot for Planned Parenthood in Los Angeles, and much of that was “community outreach” — going to communities that had a clinic and passing out information about the services it offered. The very first time I did one of those, I had what remains the most rewarding and simultaneously most…

I would like Jezebel to start a tag called “Moments of Joy”. This would qualify. No politics, no judgement, just moments in time of people truly enjoying whatever experience they are part of. Sometimes you just gotta see someone having fun. letting go, and being present and joyful.

I might be coming at this slightly uninformed - but wouldn’t a tax on these goods just be passed along to the consumer in the form of higher prices for these goods? So, in effect, we’re still paying for the wall out of our own pockets?
