She’s like the Jackie Robinson of American politics right now. Not merely qualified, but operating on a whole other level. She knows she’ll be taking shots from both sides of our establishment, and she’s so far responded to each by just turning on the awesomeness.

When policy is proposed that would actually benefit society as a whole, the knee-jerk reactionary response is always “Oh yeah? Who’s gonna pay for it?” Well, who the fuck paid for the Marshall Plan and the post-WWII GI Bill, which (along with strong labor unions) basically created and sustained the American middle…

Just the opposite reaction for me with Gordon Hayward’s injury last year. Almost immediately after Hayward hit the floor, the play-by-play guy says “ . . . and Gordon Hayward has broken his leg.” And I was thinking “How the hell does he know thaaa—- oh. Ohhh. Ohhhhhhhh!”

If only Hillary responded to “Crooked Hillary” with “Dipshit Donnie,” we would not be having this conversation.

I remember what Max Headroom said about Italy back in the day:

I’ve read “The Yellow Wallpaper” and “Herland” by SPG.  Enjoyed them both, and I have a penis. I’m expecting an award from Shelby Lorman.

Sounds like a variant of the standard doper’s first response to a positive test:

Wisconsin is Scott Free, come January!

The restaurant got so crowded that nobody went there any more.

Is there a special category for Sloan Stephens’ “Bitch tried to hit me?”

That’s “Whista,” ya zippaheads!!

Aerosmith at the Boston Gaahden, December ‘76. “Rocks” tour, peak “toxic twins” era. 14 yeras old, messing with PCP (I’ve changed). Ours was the crowd that got the late commuter rails out of North Station cancelled for rock shows for the following 10 years. Fuck, I’m old . . .

I’m agnostic, but if there is in fact a final reckoning for us, I’ve a feeling that the most destitute people we encounter in life will ultimately be our witnesses.

I hear the same shit, often from professed Christians. My response is usually along the lines of “God doesn’t give a shit. Someone’s asking for your help;  help them, and you’ve passed the test.”

“If you support outdoor cats, you pretty much support invasive species.”

When I was 19 I jumped off a 40-foot cliff into a lake, figuring I could do a front-flip early in the jump and have plenty of time to straighten out in the air to land feet-first.
