Combine what the right did to the Clintons with what they did to the Obamas. All of that would look like nursery school compared to what they'd do to Amal.

I don't drink, which saves me. Even so, I often shake my head at how much entrees cost around here.

Did you see this? This is one of those headlines I can't relate to, but it kind of speaks to your problem.

A former colleague and officemate was a Yelp all-star, or whatever they call the people who write so many reviews they get favored-reviewer status. Yelp would occasionally treat her and her other all-stars to dinners and happy hours at restaurants, which the all-stars were then free to review. It all struck me as…

I have no advice, but you're a good person for checking on her so often, and I have to imagine that's helping her in some way.

If you took all the Beatles' stuff John didn't think much of at one time or another . . . you'd have a lot of great music.

The Democratic Party. Not because I'm a loon who thinks we all should have voted for Jill Stein; no, I'll continue to vote for mainstream Democrats. But the party's job is to get Democrats elected, and it's doing a crappy job of that right now.

U2, "One Tree Hill"
The White Stripes, "Forever For Her (Is Over For Me)"
Cat Power, "Sea of Love"
Otis Redding, "Cupid"
The Shins, "Gone For Good"
Guns N' Roses, "Don't Cry"
Aretha Franklin, "(Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You've Been Gone"
AC/DC, "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)"
The Strokes, "Heart in a Cage"
Tom Petty,…

He read it for the articles! (Fun fact: Reggie Jackson, the Hall of Fame baseball player, used to write a column as Penthouse's automotive editor.)

Hey, it takes money to get a tombstone that nice.

Well said. Now let's all listen to performances of songs from the Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

I like that font on Alan Freed's tombstone. Very clean.

I think this is getting attention, and will continue to get more. Prominent stories currently displayed on the Times' and the Post's homepages:

I always want to call these people pieces of shit, and then I think of how unfair that is to shit.

Yeah, I just looked it up, and you're right. I find those numbers hard to believe, and I'm sure I've seen other polling that's been much closer. That said, even if it's legit, I think it says something about how cruelly we treat Native Americans that we can easily dismiss 10 percent of them who think the name is…

I think polling has been mixed on this, but you're right that there have been polls in which a majority of Native Americans have said they don't care about the name.

He did take part in a couple of cases they decided today, although I don't believe he wrote any opinions.

For the record, Alito wrote the majority opinion in the trademark case. Kennedy wrote a concurrence that Ginsburg, Sotomayor and Kagan joined. (There were lots of opinions in both of the two First Amendment cases mentioned in this article, but no dissents. In other words, everyone agreed on the outcomes, but they…

That is theoretically possible with interviews of abhorrent or repulsive people like this. Journalists interviewed Bin Laden and Khomeini and Qaddafi and Saddam Hussein and all sorts of other dictators, terrorists and racists. But the journalist has to do his or her homework, and be prepared for whatever propaganda…

I like reading Roger Ebert's review of The Karate Kid. He nails so much of what's charming about it. And he gives it four stars.
