Because we've seen republics and aren't that keen.

I always thought whoever put him on RAF Search and Rescue duty was a PR genius. Active military service, doing something suitably useful that can be shown off to the public, but that kept him out of warzones and generally away from excessive risk. Nicely done, shadowy adviser to the Royal Family.

I did a lot of writing back then. Like, holding a Sharpie with my toes and writing things for the people.

My opinion of men as a whole just went down by 20 points.

That your input is tedious and unnecessary and you should SHUT THE FUCK UP, PALEFACE. We don't need your help. We don't want your "help", such as it is. We want you and ever white piece of shit who keeps trying to obfuscsate and change the subject to sit down, shut the fuck up, and listen to us when we tell you…

Polls during the 1960's said that African Americans should still be called....

Where does "getting hit by a car" fit in here?

We can! We can do both! It's pretty cool, this multi-tasking thing. I'm capable of both decrying a racist slur AND saying that reservation life as currently maintained by the US government is deplorable!

Nope, that's just not the case. The infected doctor agreed to basically be a guinea pig for the serum, which is not approved or ready for the public. It's also being used in a heavily monitored environment so they can see its effects, which wouldn't be the case in the field. This is actually a great opportunity and…

As a Ravens fan who lives smack in the middle of both teams markets I can tell you that no matter the off field distraction it's a HELL of a lot better following the Ravens than Snyders shit show.

Reading a brief NPR description of family members of the afflicted wandering in and out of quarantined houses in Sierra Leone made me want to cry this morning. I just don't understand how people can't understand why these restrictions are in place. I mean, I get why they don't believe it, but it's so hard to see it…

The doctors and medical staff who are dealing with this epidemic in Africa are getting infected because they are using a lot of suboptimal protective equipment and not completely complying with all of the safety protocols necessary to protect yourself in these field quarantine hospitals. They must wear layers of…

i was born at georgetown hospital and grew up in fairfax county. i learned the team's fight song in my elementary school music class. i was on the wait list for season tickets from the time my little brother was born until his senior year of high school, when we finally got our very first shitty (literally, covered in…

you know what, you Baltimore guys get a bad rep around here, but I think y'all all right. That aquarium is bonkers.

That's so goddamn sad.

It'll stop being up for discussion when women stop getting harassed for nursing in public. Sorry it bores you.

sexualising her child that has no idea what sex, a tit, his mother, or indeed himself are?

I could deal with the losing. As a sports fan, losing is part of the bargain. So if the Skins stunk, and the owner was a guy like Abe Pollin, a genuinely nice old man who just wasn't up to the task of managing a winning basketball team for the last couple decades of his life, I could manage. But Snyder is such a…

Hierarchy of Metro reading [for people outside the beltway]:

You seem upset. Take a trip to Baltimore. Get a pit beef sandwich, perhaps a Polock Johnny's sausage. You'll feel better...or bloated. Either way, head to the land of Pleasant Living.
