Did he "write" the book the same way he "throws" to his cut-off man?

Yeah, that would bring something really new to the internet.

It's not Noam Chomsky, folks, it's a comedian talking about a band he hates, in a feature called "Hatesong". You're barking up the wrong tree looking for even-handed rationality.

It's always been a part of her act, "how could a cute, innocent-looking girl-woman be saying these things?" There's shock-value to it, but there are well-turned jokes woven through the shock. CK actually gets a lot of laughs from his shock-value stuff, case in point the "of course/but maybe" closing bit from his last…

I think Rodger's diamond was more of him drawing up a formation to suit what he had, when he needed to find a place for Gerrard and before the emergence of Sterling as completely fucking brilliant, and with the need to play both Suarez and Sturridge at all times. I don't know if he's married to the concept. Lallana is…

You've gotta start somewhere, and if you're wading into the twitter world looking for fights, you probably need to assemble a big base of support for the inevitable flamewars when you take on the real sacred cows. Perhaps Rogen v Macklemore represents a new stage in his career.

Russia does not have a stranglehold on the internet infrastructure (the system of tubes) allowing it to sift through almost everything on the internet, unlike the USA. And Russia does not have the economic and technical resources to match the US military's "oversight" of what they intercept, which is everything.

Greenwald probably has moderate, flexible opinions about many topics. But you don't get paid to write and go on TV talk shows in order to be suddenly dissuaded by Wolf Blitzer from what you just wrote a 300-page book arguing for.

It's often a good idea when you're trying to persuade an audience to establish your own similar background and preconceptions (invented or genuine) before you try leading them to a different, possibly difficult conclusion. It's a rhetorical technique as old as the moon. Since "70 percent" of people approved of Bush…

No, they actually do do that.

It's a strange commentary on society that 25 years on, out of all the Seinfeld characters, Kramer has the most "normal" hairstyle and wardrobe.

For the large number of people claiming an enlightened distance from the rapeculture they are so quick to assert, it's disturbing that Book Jaime's act with Cersei is completely legitimated by her mid-coital "hurry up." Is the window of consent still open with the aggressor's hand covered in period blood?

So, are you trying to say that as long as one successfully uses physical coercion to obtain a verbal "yes" at some point during the sexual encounter, it is retroactively not a rape? Because that's what you're suggesting.

You realize of course that TCR has like 20 writers? He's sort of been doing that already, and doing it very well.

Believe it or not, in some circles "Zionist" is not a dirty word, and it doesn't mean everything Ahmadinejad and Alex Jones seem to think it does. For instance, anyone answering the question, "should the state of Israel exist?" in the positive is practically speaking, a Zionist. Almost every contemporary Jewish party…

You're right. Samson really gave it to them.

Am I missing something, puritan America?

The average workplace doesn't give racist bile-spewing, brillo-haired gorillas like Sean Hannity a one-hour national broadcast four or five days a week.

Oh but it is isoceles.

Logic doesn't enter into defenses of the Chief.
