I used to work for the Royals ad agency writing TV and radio spots. We referred to every team by their mascot except for Cleveland. The organization refused to use the term “Indian” whatsoever. Apparently their front office isn’t alone on that, so I’m sure it shuffles over to the NFL to a degree.

By the way, I wouldn’t call your exchange “fruitless.” It seems pretty clear that the Giants are more than willing to entertain the notion that the Washington team name is inappropriate.

Hae was murdered. Adnan and Jay did it / know who did it. There is no other explanation on how her body was recovered.

I expect you’ll be sending out a newsletter using Mail Kimp?

Did you listen to the podcast? I don’t mean that to sound condescending or anything, just the answer to your question is in there. She didn’t actually know she was a key witness for a myriad of reasons including but not limited to a possible failure of Adnan’s own defense attorney. She found out when she was contacted…

Voting the right way on abortion, or giving a few seconds of soundbite that Sanders backs women’s right to choose is the bare minimum of support for women’s healthcare- including abortion- which is so under attack this year.

Or rather, Bernie has voted with her, making any criticisms about her various controversial “votes” (many of which somehow were done when she wasn’t even in elected office) pretty much moot, but hell that’s logic that Berniebots can’t engage in.

^ from my Twitter TL.

Don’t forget immigration reform. Bernie voted against the comprehensive reform bill in 2007 because the HB-1 visa program was “akin to slavery.” Yet, he co-sponsored a bill a few years later that EXPANDED that very same program to benefit the dairy industry. Coincidentally, the dairy industry is about the only major…

And frankly I can’t help but suspect that this suspicion of Hillary is part and parcel of the way that society sees women as distrustful and deceptive. It is hard not to see it as gendered in its essence.

This is an amazing comment. The only thing I would add to it is that most abortion regulations are local. Hillary Clinton is working with the DNC to fund more state-level candidates - the ones who will actually make a bigger difference in people’s lives.

Women can’t afford to just look at the White House. That won’t…

I have a hard time taking anyone seriously who uses the term “Big” in front of anything.

Wow. I hadn’t read the full quote and was getting the impression that he wasn’t specifically calling Hillary a “whore” (while I still think it was an awful choice of words). But it actually seems even worse in the full context of his remarks.

I bet. I don’t think Lisa is any happier going by her post on fb, but I guess she couldn’t throw her husband under the bus outright.

Wow, I did not know that. That's even worse. I bet Laura Ling is furious right about now.

Bill Clinton is also his niece’s (middle) namesake.

Not to hijack this discussion, but the most fascinating part of this for me is watching Bernie supporters defend this even after Bernie told them it was wrong.

For all the “it’s only Sanders supporters and Bernie Bros on the Internet saying offensive shit” Sanders surrogates sure do keep on saying dumb shit.

Cool thing of note. Paul Song’s wife is Lisa Ling. Lisa Ling’s sister was once kidnapped by North Korea. And you know who traveled to NK to secure her release? Bill fucking Clinton. Yep, the husband of the woman he just called a whore.

Lets play the game of what would Obama do first if he got his hands on a dragon?
