We’ve all wondered that, but it’s unclear if Roe v. Wade was legal back then.
“WHAT DID THEY DO TO HIS EYES??”
Yes. It’s still better than, “From the mind of M. Night Shyamalan”, though.
I want to love my great country as I always have, but I find it hard when every goddamned day I have to read about the many rotten meanspirited shit garbage people I have to share it with.
Hey, everything’s insane, everything’s up in the air, right? Government’s supposed to be this big jumble dryer of utter chaos, isn’t it?
Agree completely, all very well said.
I agree with you- King Kirby and the injustice done to him is forever in my comics heart. But I also agree with others here- now is not the time, and we ought to respect and admire Stan Lee’s own talents as a master storyteller and showman, without whom Marvel Comics would not ever have existed. Gotta respect him on…
Loved that bit; this whole article was thoughtful and well-written and often funny. Great job, David.
You know, part of me is glad that with every day and every new horror from Trump, he’s so screamingly obvious about it. He parades his dire malignancy around, waves a flag for it. He’s going FULL MAXIMUM HORRIBLE ROTTEN STUPID ASSHOLE ON TURBO every day, with fresh new outrages every day, and he wants us to know…
No, wealthy catholic landowners got in on the act too. I’m anglo-irish and I fight this kind of bullshit on both sides of the Irish Sea.
No prob man, have a good holiday.
I read this article earlier today, and came back to it because I like it a lot (saw it at Jezebel in the morning, AVC is my evening thing, what ever.)
Oh god. Thank you for that humiliating correction, lol. Sincerely. How was I to know? A better writer here would have made clear it’s not that Ed Burns, the famous one. :)
Well, that’s exactly what I was remembering. Though I didn’t say the magic words, “ military industrial complex”. I thought that implication was clear, sorry I didn’t clarify it and boringly spell it out.
Republicans in Florida have once again decided that accurate vote counts are a liberal leftist plot. They are upfront now in saying votes and facts don’t matter, votes can be shredded and disposed of. “Get out of our way, we’ll do what we want with your votes” seems the Republican strategy in multiple states. They…
I’m a sort of devoted fan of Christy Turlington Burns since her supermodel days. Her beauty made me swoon, and still does. She has a great charity for prenatal care women in developing countries, Every Mother Counts. Runs marathons all over the world to raise money, I do check in on her Instagram. Beauty on the…
Really well said. I distinctly recall reading way back then, after the USSR collapsed as an exterior enemy, that one day it would turn inwards. Because the US has always needed an enemy somewhere, since WWII. And in the 90s, there was no apparent heir abroad to that status of major foe. Fox News started in 1996,…
Yes. The great Charlie Pierce at Esquire has been saying for years, the idea of elected judges is The Worst Idea in American Politics, period. Because we’ve seen how badly that can be abused in uh, less-enlightened states. Where people will vote for the ones who promise to lock up the others that they don’t like. …
Nothing I said posited myself as anything superior, that’s your own insecurities talking to you.
