there are no “people”; there are only CONSUMERS

I was going to ask if there was a way to root for both Gruden and Snyder to lose this one. Dabo appears to be the answer. Go Dabo!

“How is that need not already filled?”
It is. I am (I know, I know) a Mets fan. (I moved to New York in 1987, from the UK. It seemed like the smart bet at the time, given the state of the Yankees.) I can get decent quality information on the Mets from MetsMerized Online (the name is precisely dumb enough to be…

Obviously, it is too late to hope for Sports Illustrated to flourish, or even survive, as a premium journalistic enterprise. So I will satisfy myself with rooting for these asshats to fail in a spectacular, and hopefully career-ending, dumpster fire.

If Wednesday was a melt-down, what the fuck do we call today?

It seems to me that the vast majority of self-identified Republicans remain loyal to Trump. Until that changes, precisely zero Republicans in the Senate will have the courage to do what is right.

“Home Alone: Horrifying sadism dressed up as a kiddie flick”

Silence holds up, and Unforgiven. Schindler’s List if you can fast forward the first and last few minutes.

“Were you never 16?”

For the better part of a decade. 

Jenny’s sin is having the temerity to question authority. So the writer punished her with AIDS. 

Yes, came here for this. Right-wing paean to the virtues of ignorance and unquestioning obedience. 

“always kinda creeped me out because Cage looks like he could be Cher’s son”

Unless they’ve seen Resident Evil.
