My mom prohibited Disney, but not because of any thematic content—she hated the thought that we’d read a fairy tale, like Cinderella, and then if we saw the Disney version, their depiction of the characters would forever erase whatever we had imagined. I think that’s a powerful critique, one I’ve tried to follow…

“Married into the family” could mean a cousin or nephew or some such.

Exactly. This, 100%. He assigns worth to women based on how attractive he finds them, and for the most part the women he knows are cool playing this game. That’s why it makes perfect sense that he manages a beauty pageant, since the women literally compete to be found most attractive. Hillary subverts all of that—he’s…

I prefer to imagine how much he’s going to flip out when the families come on stage after the debates and Bill introduces himself to Melania.

Serious question: has anyone strapped a phone to their dog?

*Both* teams? I count four different helmet styles.

Anyone who has had a little girl (or a boy and a girl, in my case) knows that the old maxim about girls clothes being rainbows and unicorns and boy clothes being trucks and cowboys is, while not 100% true, VERY, VERY COMMON. So while there could have been some alternate explanation for why the poster’s friend couldn’t…

His obsession with YOUNG women, as detailed in that SI piece that was linked to yesterday, is disturbing. I get a 40 year old dude wanting to get with 20 somethings. I mean, I don’t share the impulse (because 20 somethings are beyond annoying), but I get it. But when he’s showing up with a 15 year old on his arm?…

No doubt. I mean, my co-worker’s kid is a swimmer, age *8,* and he’s got his eye on the Olympics. The whole family is on board, going to meets pretty much every weekend, practice 4x/week, etc. And they have such a narrow window when they are capable of winning a medal. Sadly the IOC knows this, which is why they can…

Sounds suspiciously like my friends who are spending all their money so their kids will get really good college financial aid packages.

To be fair, he said that one of his three polling models would indicate a Trump victory if people voted today (yesterday). It’s not a rosy view, but as usual the media took a semi-complex analysis and boiled it down to a single, incomplete data point.

If you’re an Olympic athlete, training for these games is your job, and competing in them is your life’s goal. Pointing out that the host country sucked at completing facilities shouldn’t mean that you therefore have to leave and give up.

“people that don’t share the organs they were Bourne (sic) with”

I think the first part of his statement should be read as “Being a fan, I know about the team’s ownership and what they stand for, and thus have no doubts that they would not hesitate to let someone accused of domestic violence play. After all, they signed Greg Hardy last year.”

“Larry Fedora” always sounds like an alter ego that James Dolan would give himself in a series of bad detective novels loosely based on his own life.

The article is three paragraphs long, and literally the entire third paragraph answers your question.

Yes, those damn editors who fooled you into reading a political opinion with which you disagree. Perhaps you were fooled by the title, which...well, makes it pretty fucking clear it’s a political opinion piece. #derp

Or Andy Reid denying that he’s going to eat all three of the Philly cheesesteaks on his plate.

He certainly wants AG, so I’m guessing his speech is going to be all about law and order.

A Yale man would have gotten that joke.
