This confused me greatly as I was just in Switzerland last year and only now have I learned there is a Lake Geneva in Wisconsin.  Life is weird.

First thing that came to mind when I saw the title of the article.  

The LA Times paid him $234,000 a year for that shit?!? No wonder the paper went bankrupt. I can write columns twice as salty for half that... Let me know where to send my resume and writing samples...

Seattle is an amazing place that has the nation’s best food, coffee and beer...

Serious question because I really want to know - where is this “nation’s best food” he’s talking about? I want to go. I travel from LA to Seattle at least three times a year for work and I can’t find anything that would qualify as the…

Almost obligatory...

Not that powerful, apparently.  It took the Clintons two tries

I swear, every time the Raiders give me some glimmer of hope...

Yeah, I remember those jokes too. 

Looking forward to the book. I always did wonder why the 1970s-early 1980s Dodgers teams were called the Little Blue Wrecking Crew, thinking it was an ironic counterpoint to the dominant Big Red Machine, but no, it was a literal description. I guess things were simpler back then.

The first rule of Mobile Passport is: You do not talk about Mobile Passport.

If every person of color in an open carry state started…

either way, the Rockets will be insanely entertaining...

What happened on the 2-0 pitch?

Yeah, shit like this is why it’s “former” DA.

A 20 year vet, he’s already qualified for lifetime medical and a pension. His play now is for a workers’ compensation claim, which would supplement that, especially if he’s able to claim some sort of traumatic brain injury. Cops get a lot of legal presumptions in California work comp, so he should be able to clean up…

Former DA from the Bay Area.  This is exactly what is going on.

As stupid as the name is, this is a very important discovery and if this is what it takes to get the word out, then so be it.

The Bucks won it all in 1971 and Kareem didn’t leave for the Lakers until 1975...

Misogynistic yes, but they probably didn’t expect her to expose some unsavory details about an industry for which they may want to continue maintaining friendly access.
