Education helps, but education isn’t going to motivate people to undertake the hard work it takes to become healthy. And unless you think that all the oversized midlife toddler-shaped pill poppers are being forced into such a lifestyle you really shouldn’t label a call for reasonable health norms “victim blaming.”

So, Bernie gets cheated out of the primary by Hillary & Co and now the idea is that he should be put out to pasture to be a “kingmaker.” I want to make sure I’m not missing something here... a guy who get completely f*cked by the same people now telling him to retire is somehow winning and coming out on the right side…

This is by far the worst thing I’ve ever read.  Bernie can, should, an will run.  And he’ll win.  Goddamn you crypto Hillary fanbois. 

I’m all for universal healthcare, but the only way it will ever happen is if the population takes on some of the initiative for their own health. Maybe instead of sitting inside all day eating disgusting, useless junk totally hypnotized by the screen you’re looking at you open the blinds, put on some acceptable…

I use onion over VPN and Tor and IP switch at the ISP level every day and still can’t get past the paywall. You’re... not being serious about incognito mode are you? I’ve been working to find a way through for months now.

It’s a shame that the Washington Post charges an arm and a leg for access to their increasingly important journalism.  I max out my three freebies in the first week of every month.  Jeff Bezos should realize that his publication is too necessary these days to limit access to only those folks with that kind of money. …

Good to see that the Both Sidesists are still firmly in control... not.

I just hope that whoever gets the gig isn’t covered in a both sidesist way. That was how they covered John Kelly and it wasn’t very helpful. “John Kelly, the adult in the room.”  Please.  That wasn’t true and it won’t be true of whoever replaces him either.

I take it you did not participate in the early 90s trend of creating beaded necklaces?

Venezuela sells oil and coconut water, globally.  Interesting how everyone forgets that little tidbit when desperately trying to smear actual socialism with their example.  If anything, Venezuela is a cautionary tale of exploiting earth’s resources for personal gain.  

You win, ok?  I cannot do this any longer.  I’m tired.  You broke me.  You win. 

The 1990s Gen X hippies co-opted the yin yang from the ancient Japanese Samurai warrior class. The Gen X hippies redefined the YY as some odd notion of symbiosis. The Samurais never intended the YY to project feelings of harmony or companionship. That was all the Gen X hippies doing. The Samurais intended the symbol…

I am not a water-headed baby.  Goddamn you straight to hell you son of a bitch.

Kaep has the kind of rare social wisdom you don’t encounter all that often.  He’s got one of those voices that just connects.  You should hear the way my mom talks about him, and she doesn’t even like football.  He’s just, he’s got it. He’s got that it factor.

How dare you. I tried addressing your initial comment in a thoughtful and respectful way and this is what I get in response? A reply in caps lock? I didn’t do anything to deserve this. Nothing. I was trying to engage in lively debate on the internet and what for? What good is it when there are people like yourself…

Legalized marijuana is a Republican attempt to enslave the lower classes who habitually smoke the narcotic through permanently altered reality. What used to be a wage slave is now a psychological slave, infinitely more useful.

Not new. Gun ownership is essentially a surburbian statute, mandatory in many areas, and yet owning a gun in the city will get you jailed or worse. Violence, in its most basic form, also conforms to your allegory. The police have a monopoly on it and are free to use it at will so long as it is for the purpose of…

Maybe I’m missing some intended symbolism but I can’t for the life of me figure out why you would call an ordinary seagull an albatross.

Agree.  In retrospect, W was not that bad.  He and Obama share many characteristics, both personally and professionally. 

This symbol shoulders a decent portion of the blame for our current Both Sidesism mess. Gen X and the first Millennials were inundated with this propaganda throughout their formative years.
