The brilliant thing about Grant’s celebrity is that no one made a big deal about his heritage. They were busting myths about how to cool your mouth if you eat hot peppers, and no one made a deal AT ALL about Grant not being able to handle wasabi. It just struck me as respectful of him as a man and not pigeon-holing…

Genuinely curious...should the Kansas City Chiefs also follow suit? I can see public opinion asking them to change the name eventually. Is the name disrespectful enough to warrant this?

Ethnic intimidation is to racists what gay panic is to homophobes.

In some parts of Iowa, it’s more a once-in-a-blue-moon thing.

But you put thought into what you say. Trolls...don’t.

I must disagree--she’s playing to the Trumpeters who hate BLM and black people, in general. She made her play precisely because she read the room.

Kanye West invoking humility is like Mickey Mantle invoking sobriety.

Plastic surgery.

We should just rename Deutsche Bank “Satan’s Treasury” and get it over with.

I hope he got a generous signing bonus, because that’s the ONLY guaranteed money in an NFL contract, usually. And I have no problem with one player getting mega-paid, because the owners are always making WAY more than any player. The salary cap is an excuse to keep expenses low, not to level a playing field. 

Excellent analysis. The only other alternative I can see is that Kanye’s ego is simply out of control.

Dear police reformers,

I’m not surprised a Catholic priest said this junk. The priesthood is a LOT more conservative than their American church-goers, who tend to be much more liberal on things like birth control and such. What’s astonishing is that he had it printed in the church bulletin, FFS. Just re-run an old sermon for your column,…

Iowan here. Reynolds hasn’t been too busy to immediately sign not one but TWO executive orders placing restrictions on abortion access due to the coronavirus. They’ve both been blocked by the courts, but still, she’s a traitor to her own gender, IMHO.

If you want cringe-worthy, I always felt bad when his studio crew were forced (presumably) to laugh at his lame jokes during his MSNBC program years ago. Lord, was that awkward.

100% those guns are NOT loaded. Not that it matters. Book ‘em, Dano.

Those of us who are not part of any online streaming can find it difficult to understand how big a deal it is for someone to lose their platform like this, but it’s no different than losing a job. Well done highlighting just how this corporate capriciousness hurts real people.

Total cabana boy.

Have you SEEN Jurassic Park? No one ever complained about a lawyer getting cut in half.

I regret I have but one star to give.
