This will also be my face when Finebaum is suspended from his show for a week, and his listeners go on Twitter to complain about his First Amendment rights being violated by big government...

The older I get, the more I realize that things are fucked up because older people are allowed to be in charge and have a say in things. Hearing Finebaum say this is about as surprising to me as hearing someone’s grandma wax poetic about when everything was still segregated.

To quote Bomani Jones:

At the very least we should send them a nice gift basket.

How sweet, HamNo brought his grandmother over from Gawker too!

Fwiw, the Missouri state capitol also has some pretty badass murals:

Fun fact: Andy Reid is 3rd all-time in postseason wins by a Chiefs coach with 1. They are a tough team to root for.

Marine here again. I can’t stand how conflated “the flag” has become with “the military.” I also can’t stand the knee-jerk “patriots” whose default position toward the military is genuflection, and anyone who fails to bend the knee is shunned. These are not the hallmarks of a free society.

A side question: At what point did “Support the Troops” morph into “Worship the Military?”
