Well played, sir.

Now that’s a “way homer” if I’ve ever heard one.

“Twitter. Perhaps fine for following your favorite sports hero or politician. A quiet, sedate website, where nothing could EVER happen. And then...Zola showed up.”

The dispatcher asked the woman to describe the calls and she said,“They’re just asking about what time we’re gonna close and they just didn’t sound like they were legitimate customers.”

“It’s a bunch of dorks walking around a house at night taking photos and sound recordings of nothing.”

It sounds a lot like Roger Ebert’s death. He announced that he wouldn’t return to his website for the near future, and then died days later. A lot of times the family knows the diagnosis is terminal but doesn’t really like making that news public because then it’s like everyone is just sitting around waiting for the…

The problem is that Hillary Clinton is truly a national political figure, regardless of what you think about her actual politics, and these guys are pretty small scale reps from conservative districts who have not had to actually engage opponents for quite some time. The GOP has gerrymandered itself a shit ton of…

Another year, another opportunity lost for them to get Fred Willard and Jane Lynch to co-host and slay everyone will ad lib greatness.

Right, because California has never before elected a famous person with little-to-no political experience as its governor.

“this politician with obvious ties to this industry helped secure hundreds of millions of dollars for billionaires for a project that’s been shown over and over again not to benefit the public in the least.”

And as a high profile mayor for a major California city, a mayor with big name recognition all over the state, he is (or was) a likely future nominee for governor, which means that he would eventually be positioned to direct a shit ton of money their way through state policy involving charter schools. They’re not…

I also have a NSA spy cam blocker. Unlike Rand Paul’s, mine won’t cost you $15, and does not have the name of a jackass printed on it.

I would imagine his lawyer is giving him the same advice. I mean, goddam, you are the brothel owner where a high visibility client (with known addiction issues) OD’d and may die, possibly in part due to supplements he bought at your place. It’s pretty much guaranteed that a massive lawsuit is coming your way, probably…

Right, plus then it was immediately co-opted by people as if it was an AIDS ribbon or some other sign you use to signal your solidarity. If the whole point is that you use it as a sign to tell someone that you are a DV victim and you need help, then it really does not help when tons of people are doing the exact same…

D) a baseball slugger-cum-philosopher, trenchantly arguing that our chief tool to mock the outrageous acts of others is, ironically, the same tool used by those we mock to generate our outrage, thus suggesting that our outrage is not directed at others, but at our primal selves.

The comma is your friend, friend.

The thing people get wrong is assuming that their grieving friends don’t want to talk about their loved one. Don’t hide from them. Just tell them you’d love to see them for coffee and follow through with it. Their pain will be raw and real, but I guarantee you that years later they will remember that you were there…

One thing to avoid is to make false gestures and promises. “I’d love to buy you dinner sometime,” or “let’s go get coffee sometime and talk.” Instead, try something specific and defined: “can I bring you guys dinner next week?” Or “Are you free this week for coffee?” When my wife’s dad died, a ton of her friends made…
