Most of them were built around 1909 — which is, coincidentally, when the southern cities were rebuilt after being burned down. Do you live in a southern city? Go find your monuments and then check the date when the building around it were built. Correlation — and a simpler explanation for the timing.

I am a savage bad-man, due to my internet anonymity! ;)

Such a great author. Why doesn’t he get the respect he deserves? I guess there’ll be an HBO series one day, and then everyone will love it. You have to be realistic..

This comment makes me think you’re, like, hopelessly unstylish. The kind of guy or girl who interviews in black cotton socks or rubber soled dress shoes.

To be fair — if one of my preppy friends liked Sonic Youth I’d think that. There are some cultural things that are surprising that aren’t really about race. I still wouldn’t say it out loud.

Not like this, genius. There’s no game where playing requires buying protected intellectual property from a private company.

I think you’re beautiful and smart and funny and your pieces makes me smile. I love your confidence and your perspective and your clarity as a writer.

*some. FTFY

Those are some good-ass bangs, I have to admit.

Yeah — but nobody is trying to actually confuse anyone here. It’s an obvious parody, and there’s no chance that a consumer would be mistaken into buying a Titties hat thinking it was affiliated or produced by the fine folks at Titleist

Boycott. Snyder has kidnapped my team, and I’m not giving him another dime until he gets out of town and gives it back to someone who isn’t a monstrously incompetent narcissist

I’m not sure that it’s really progressivism that you’re seeing. It’s exceptionally rational, and you may be projecting your own conclusions onto that.

I read this in the post and other local sources. The cop waited for 20 minutes and *watched* her not doing anything to turn the music down — so he arrested her, because she obviously wasn’t going to do anything. This isn’t an article — it’s a statement from the arrested individual. It’s the least objective account…

She got a DJ and six (frigging 6) people on that block called in. The police waited and she never made a move to tell the DJ to stop. The law is the law.

Those two statements are fully compatible. Sorry for your personal curiosity, but law enforcement doesn’t exist to entertain you.

It ISN’T Florida. There’s a reason

Not really. Think about it. You know I’m right.

I mean, I guess that means something — but I’m looking forward to reading something you’ve written that’s more incisive.

Make money/not hemorrhage money such that we have to close down for good.

This is what doing a good job looks like. Be like this guy. Don’t be like Tom.
