At least they pretended to. I would say Eisenhower definitely cared more about the citizens than the Republicans. Definitely Carter who sold his peanut farm before taking office. Guess if you weren’t here during the Carter administration, you missed it.

...there was a day that politicians cared more about the citizens than their party?!

Back in the day when horrible things happened and leaders rushed to comfort our grief? When the President had a clear plan to prevent the next tragedy? When the President interrupted your regularly scheduled programming to bring you the sad news that a Navy ship collision had left 7 of our own dead? When the President…

“the anonymity of the machine lets them pretend they aren’t really hurting anyone.”

If a crowd of people surrounds my car and starts hitting it, I’m getting the hell out of there. I can’t be the only person who feels this way.

Remember the days where a driver in a car, upon seeing a candlelight vigil in the street, would respect it and find an alternate route?

While I doubt they would punch the guy in the face if he was carrying groceries across the street, the anonymity of the machine lets them pretend they aren’t really hurting anyone.

No, that’s not justification to run anybody over for fuck’s sake. Especially pre-meditated while flipping them the bird. That’s the same bullshit cover as ‘I was afraid for my life and his wallet looked like a gun’.

Its truly odd. Sticking my middle finger out and honking at demonstrators usually works so well for me. Wonder what went wrong?

So middle-aged white guy in a Mercedes feels sooo inconvenienced, doesn’t turn around like everyone else, tries to drive through a candlelight protest, hits people, and flees the police afterwards.

From his entry last year when detailing all the ways Detroit could fuck up:

JFC, how many teams went 9-7 last year? And apparently the Lions lost to the Seahawks in the playoffs? I don’t remember anything about either of those teams in the playoffs last year. Come to think of it, I basically only remember the NFC championship game and Super Bowl. Oh, and when the Texans looked like they might…

First the AV Club dies from Kinja-fication, and now we learn ZMF won’t be weighing in on YTS2017. Truly a dark day.

Oh god, is tomorrow Christmas?! I can’t wait!

They’re the Bears with a reverse color scheme.

ZODIAC! ZODIAC! ZODIAC!

I had no idea the Lions were this far into the WYTS order. I just assumed I had glossed over that one.

ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER said he won’t be writing a submission for them this year, though. His submissions were like 95% of the reason I read the Lions entries every year.

Next up: Detroit Lions
