I hope she becomes the next Marvin Miller, even though that might mean torching a couple seasons for her goals to be met. I’m assuming there will be one strike to reform the system, and another about a decade later when owners try to claw it back like they did in baseball. It depends on if the players will stick…

His brand of “pull up your pants and stop using naughty words” brand of morality was bullshit anyway.

J-A-I-L-O

Michele Roberts vs. the NBA owners has a chance to go down as one of the greatest labor disputes in recent memory. She’s going to embarrass them, and it’s going to be amazing.

The last time I was in Indiana a cabbie pulled a gun on me over the $5 he wanted me to pay for some drunk guy I didn’t know who was also in the cab. It was a pretty average night out in South Bend.

I must need a Palin-to-English translator to understand this woman.

My father was indeed a cult leader, and I spent the first seven or so years of my life in a cult. It was smallish (~20-25 people, at various times), and we never made the papers or anything, but I had a very strange childhood, for sure, and I’m still fucked up in a lot of ways because of it.

(not what you asked for, but...)

you want to mount a mountie? (sorry)

In the grays everyone is talking about how the song was written by a former slave owner, but that doesn’t NOT make the song a Negro spiritual.

You didn’t expect Clarence Thomas to let Antonin Scalia drive the whole trip to Crazytown, did you?

The process of getting a job playing professional sports could not be more different from the fairly ordinary act of getting housing for oneself. I don’t think it’s appropriate to even compare the two, especially in the context of legal rights.

My two favorite things are the NBA and housing discrimination. And kicking puppies - Donald Sterling
