I have a cousin who says he won’t eat banana because it is phallic-shaped, but he’s like 60 pounds overrweight and loves hot dogs, so we think it’s more of the taste and healthiness of a banana that gets him.

Yeah, did the guy shoplift some candy when he was 4 years old, or was he being a racist a-hole two years before applying to college? If this guy as like a 9 year old was seen in some old video saying the n-word, it would be kinda hard to justify raking him over the coals, but this is a guy who is basically telling…
His posts were from what, two years ago? And all that is happening is he can’t go to Harvard? And he has to deal with the backlash from him being racist? None of that means he can’t be forgiven or not have some sort of redemption arc from this. But you know who can’t have any sort of arc in life anymore? Tamir…
Well, Silverman dressed up as Hitler to joke about Trump, and that’s not really the same thing as dressing in blackface (which yeah, Kimmel was in the wrong for doing it). Also, leniency when facing criminal charges is different than asking a college to admit you. This kid will still get accepted to a host of good…
You also left out Alexander Hamilton, but he logically fits even better than Ben Franklin. You know the Republicans would never allow President Obama to put on money.
Man, no one is going to care if she crapped on a crappy school on her way out when she was 18. There’s a good chance she isn’t even looking for a job for the next 7 years assuming she gets a post-graduate degree in something.
That sucks. My high school has four speech-givers (valedictorian, salutatorian, SGA president and senior class president, but they are all very short speeches) and it’s the same no matter what (I am the second oldest in a large family so I’ve been to a ton of graduations at the school). There have been some really…
The one thing I’ve learned though is that you can’t just judge someone based off how they behaved in high school. Some real a-holes in my day turned out to be really nice, self-aware people. At our 10 year reunion last year one guy even said he had contemplated not coming because he had been a real tool in high…
The salutatorian in my older brother’s class gave a rough one, too. Basically crapping on everyone, thanking her real “Friends” and naming the characters on the TV show Friends (which she watched all the time, according to her younger brother, who was the exact opposite of her and one of my college roommates), and…
Yeah, it doesn’t sound like he really had to be “talked into it.” Plus, King has a ton of respect for Flanagan, praising Hush big time and allowing him to adapt Gerald’s Game. So I imagine this wasn’t really that big of deal to King.
I don’t really agree with your position on running for other offices. Say a US Senator has 4 years left on their term but is a particularly popular presidential candidate. In other words, Bernie Sanders. Should Bernie have to give up his seat to run for President? We want highly qualified Senators and Presidential…
The issue here is about the FBI’s classification of activist groups such as BLM and whether those groups have committed violence. You refer to individual acts, but the author isn’t denying those things have occurred. BLM does not advocate committing violent acts against LEOs. They “spout on” violence done to…
Yeah, I really liked the character of Bran, but then they just sort of dropped him to the sidelines instead of really showing if/how he was using his powers, or why he wasn’t using his powers if that was his choice. They made him really dull or seemingly useless because there was no explanation for his actions or…
She still loves Jon (another fault of the rushed final two seasons was not really getting a natural relationship development between the two of them) and he is her family, as well. Plus, of all her advisers and close compatriots, Jon is the most willing to bend to her will (notice how quickly he agrees with her in…
Well, Cumberland is a solid law school. Though I think the U of A attorneys are the easiest to beat in the state line must just be some b.s. boasting by people who went to other law schools. I know plenty of great attorneys that went to a variety of schools, and plenty of lousy ones who went to those very same…
It’s quite a discouraging read but important.
From the AP article linked: “Alabama’s Hugh F. Culverhouse Jr. School of Law is regarded as one of the best public law schools in the nation. Its alumni include former Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, former Alabama Gov. George Wallace, Southern Poverty Law Center founder Morris Dees, and President Donald Trump’s…
I’m with Culverhouse on his stance in general, but as a UA Law alum I think it’s a bit misguided to call for a boycott on the law school. The problem is with the legislature and older, ultra-religious Alabamans. The faculty and student body at the law school does not have the same make-up. The two main Constitutional…
