It would be interesting to hear from black panelists who have been on Maher’s show about what they think of his lame joke.

I’m an academic, in a field where I sometimes do need to refer to specific racial slurs in a purely academic manner. Even then, I choke on the word and can’t say it out loud.

Maher didn’t radically misjudge the mood. He doesn’t give one damn about “the mood.” He’s simply racist. And sexist. And a narcissist. If people laugh, he’s affirmed. If they don’t, they just don’t get it or are too shackled by “political correctness” to be “with it”. But he’s never been with it. He’s an old troll in…

If you’re a white person, and you’re not a professor of linguistics giving a seminar on the history of racial epithets to postgrads, stop it.

If you’re a white person, and you’re not a professor of linguistics giving a seminar on the history of racial epithets to postgrads, stop it. Stop it now. Whatever the situation, even in “irony” [and from your perspective without malice], you’ve radically misjudged the mood. Stop it.

Oh, to be a mediocre white man.

As an Old, I still don’t know who Argyle AndFart is. Is there a reason I should?

Ah, yes. Nothing like the scandalous love triangle *cough* bearding *cough* of three very famous and attractive millennials, two thirds of which are also fairly talented.

I am amazed how some of the stories don’t hit the mainstream press - I’ve witnessed several “events” personally - with dozens and dozens of witnesses in some cases - and there isn’t even a blind item, nevermind a tabloid story.

I really need to know more about those bearding contracts Irina Shayk and Olivia Munn (pretty sure that’s who they talked about, right?) signed. Give me ALL the details.

I had this uncle, Jerry, who was a rebel. Drove a motorcycle and a Z28 with considerable speed, wore jeans everywhere (even to church, much to Papa’s disgruntlement), owned ridiculously big dogs, played pool quasi-professionally...

Charlamagne and Wendy Williams will probably never speak again and that’s fine with me.

I’ve only ever seen her stuff at places like Marshalls or TJ Maxx or on amazon. Before all this trump president fever dream nightmare, I sort of equated her brand as slightly down market than Jessica Simpson (I will admit to owning more than few Jessica Simpson dresses).

Ivanka markets her stuff to a certain type of wealthy person. No, the head of a tech company in Menlo Park, or a fund manager in Westport wouldn’t be interested. However, the owner of the sand and gravel company in Ashland, Kentucky might think her brand is the essence of high culture.

And, how many coal miners are going to buy Ivanka label pinky rings?

I feel like the lack of comments on this article means that people didn’t realize the gravity of this case. Had the court ruled in Lexmark’s favor, it would have opened the door for all sorts of chicanery from companies sneaking anti-reselling language into their EULA’s. We dodged a major bullet here, people.

“Frei said in the apology the source of his anti-Japan angst was rooted in his father having fought in World War II.”

Yeah, because one guy did something wrong, it totally erases what the other guy did, amirite?

Remember when Donald was going to make us respected by the whole world? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Ladies and gentlemen: your Republican Party. God Bless America.
