You’re reading The Root; tabloids have higher standards of “reporting” than this click/race-bait, agenda-based, divisive outfit of dimwits.

I agree wholeheartedly. However, it’s my understanding that NYC public schools each receive equal base funding. That policy is intended to level the playing field. I believe, but am not certain, that underperforming schools may apply for grants and additional funding. Unfortunately, that only addresses school…

I’m aware that this is The Root and shoddy “reporting” not just seems to be acceptable but encouraged. For those that would prefer to know the actual reason that there’s anger from those in the district: this policy gives 25% of the seats to imported kids that aren’t ready for the curriculum they are about to take.…

Not sure why anyone would be surprised. If what the article states is true; “reserve a quarter of their seats for students who score below grade level on state English and math tests.”, I’d be annoyed too. So the plan is to slow the classes down to teach the subset what the regular student already know and hold their…

How about the driving scene with Robert Loggia in Lost Highway? Wild at Heart was sorta a fast paced movie, if I remember correctly. But I get where you’re coming from.

Mulholland drove me nuts for years; watched it countless times only to have whatever theory I had crumble. Then I saw it recently in a local independent movie theater and couldn’t believe how simple it was. Lynch tells you exactly what’s happening; which part is a dream and what isn’t. Basically, the first half is a…

Dude, right on. Spader’s presence would bring my F&F viewing total to two movies.

This is a story because Deadspin couldn’t come up with a way to shove Kaepernick down our throats for once...

Good lord; people singing along with a song and enjoying themselves???? MAY THEY BURN IN HELL FOR ETERNITY!!! Speaking of... when’s the Tom Sawyer book burning?

Technically, to go all the way, shouldn’t it read “Also chewing/smacking the caviar as he talks to you about how “messed up” some sports stars career path *be*”?

Do you mean American dialct or lexicon?

I’ve always the adjective applicable to all demographics/backgrounds; it’s simply a concise term to describe someone’s behavior, particularly attitude/posture/gesticulations. Sadly, some people like the ones you’re referencing are just a$$holes....

Thank you for this; it’ll probably yield a bit of a smirk the first few times I use the phrases again.

In Europe, the migrants have tried claiming “sexual emergency”. I’m not sure if that’s only used when the victim is a minor or a catch-all for all victims...

Perhaps... he’s not emotionally/financially invested in Cubs personnel. It’d still be disturbing but less so on a personal level. If, say, one’s offspring or sibling was accused of a depraved crime; I’d venture to say that the level of disappointment/disgust/embarrassment would be greater than it would have been if it…

Not sure what to believe; I’d certainly like to give her the benefit of the doubt and her reasons for reminding silent are completely plausible. But... she’d be mildly cute-ish after a few drinks which gives me a momentary pause; unless it’s a case of work/office hot, I can’t find immediate, unquestionable credibility…

That was spot on hilarious!
