Ehhh, exonerstion is a very high bar. What evidence makes you affirmatively believe Kobe didn’t do it?

“lawyers always pay attention to successful strategies.”

The Dominican Republic—all the child sex tourism, but with that added dash of banana republic western imperialism. And bachata, of course, though I doubt Limbaugh can dance.

I won’t opine as to whether Limbaugh “deserves” lung cancer, but, I will say that I cannot imagine a demise cruel, humiliating, or painful enough to aptly be called his ‘just deserts’. Compared to what he’s done with his life, nommatter what awful thing that happens to him, it’ll serve as an example of how the “cosmic…

Ah okay, this is a Jez thing. I imagine lots of romance movies, and particularly rom-coms, can get to look bad, if only because of the prevalence of things like the guy initially being rejected, but then eventually getting that first date because he’s persistent. Even if they end up happily ever after, the “right…

“The film, as we know it in the current universe, is already very bad.”

Romney gets little or no points here. Trump’s approval rating in Utah is dismal; if Trump were as popular with Utah voters as he is with with Alabama voters, THEN Romney’s vote to convict might have merited some kudos. But as it stands, Romney is simply the beneficiary of happenstance: “The Right Thing to Do” just…

“Look beyond the facts.”

Geez, I’m sure the black kids in the room REALLY appreciate that toxic nonsense.

Any dismantling of the myth of the “romance” between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings would probably be good, though it seems like you could get in trouble with the administration if you not-so-subtly tell the students that Monticello is America’s most celebrated rape camp, and Jefferson, America’s most beloved and…

I’m pretty sure there are services that will sequence you and give you heritage data (i.e., what proportional flavors of human you are), but using a double-blind system in order to protect people's identities. 

Also, smoking has decreased, which reduced not only first-hand smoke, but second-hand smoke as well. It is my understanding that aklifetime of near regular exposure to smoke  tends to make people look like shoe leather.

I think that’s certainly a viable rejoinder to a young person aping that narrative out of ignorance—a sort of a Socratic dismantling of the lie. But there’s no point in arguing with the racist asshat that capes for this argument. That person can only be derided, ignored, or fought and defeated.

“According to a report by the Southern Poverty Law Center, nine out of 10 high school seniors either incorrectly identified or openly admitted they weren’t sure of what caused the Civil War. Two-thirds (68 percent) of high school seniors don’t know that it took a constitutional amendment to formally end slavery.”

Based on the comments, I’m gathering that the only truly “transgressive” outfits a woman could wear probably involve either sweat pants, a giant chicken costume, or both.

I can’t wait! (Clearly, I’m a dumpster fire of a human being)

I won’t opine on whether Limbaugh “deserves” a painful, potentially terminal illness. However I feel very comfortable taking the position that Limbaugh is a force of misinformation who has made a career out of taking advantage of people by fomenting distrust, hatred, and fear against some of the most marginalized and…

I’m glad to have an independent basis to pour on the hate besides her unfair, poor treatment of Alayah.

I mean, obviously snakes can’t take a knee cause they don’t have knees, but I appreciate that someone took the time to think about the mechanics of “snake kneeling”.

You can just read out of OP’s (cdwag14) comment allmbut the last sentence. Most of the post discusses Friends’ staleness (and by operation of that, its freshness) over time, implied that it overstayed its welcome (as contrasted ostensibly with Living Single), made some normative statements about sitcoms writ large,…
