I really think part of Pelosi’s issue within the caucus isn’t that Democratic Representatives dislike Pelosi, it’s that her leadership team is ancient. She’s done many fine things as Speaker and Minority Leader, but nurturing and elevating talented junior members into leadership roles isn’t one of them. The average…

Last year, I made the mistake of asking someone to cease using the speaker phone is a particularly granola-woke coffee shop where I made the mistake of camping out to do some work. The speak phone person angrily told me that she had hearing loss and it’s hard to hear calls without the speaker. I was about to suggest…

Jeter is fine sharing the award with either Davis or Snyder, provided the co-winner agrees to move to third base. 

Yeah that line is such ahistorical horseshit that Emily Alford should be fired and put on some kind of journalistic blacklist that prevents her from working in the business ever again.

Yeah, and he also publicly sexually abused many of his male followers to prove that he was the only true heterosexual. Pol Pot was also against colonialism, but we don’t waste energy hand-wringing about the duality of Pol Pot or his shitty movement. 

That is a great point that remarkably I haven’t heard anyone mention before. Average fuel economy is 26.4 MPG, but let’s round down to 25 MPG. Gasbuddy.com says average fuel price in Philadelphia in Oct. 2017 was $2.65/gallon so $10 would’ve purchased 3.75 gallons, enough fuel to get her about 90 miles.

5238 may be the announced attendance, but let’s be honest and admit there are maybe 3000 people actually in the ballpark. 

WHY IS BIG POTATO FORCING THEIR DELICIOUS SALTY PRODUCT DOWN MY THROAT WHEN I ONLY WANTED A CHEESEBURGER! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

The libs are even trying to take it out of the water in Flint. Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to removing lead from water, why, there are studies underway to remove lead from salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children’s ice cream. 

Nothing about their story made sense. They ran out of gas on the interstate and they were stranded (because cell phones and debit cards aren’t ubiquitous in modern life) so while they are sitting there stranded a homeless guy wanders up to them ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE and offers to go get them gas with his last…

Actual Michigander here. Some relevant information this shrill hit piece failed to mention.

Cleanses are bullshit. There only purpose is to separate fools from their money.

I have no doubt that Mira Ricardel is an awful person. But she is an awful person who probably has the credentials to be in the position she held. So far as anyone can tell from these reports, no evidence exists that she did anything to justify her firing. The idea that a deputy national security adviser could lose…

Just look at those long, lean fingers. It’s obvious.

I think I find his voice soothing. It relaxes me. That’s the only explanation I can come up with.

No, I get it. I understand the context in which the song was written. What I am saying is Airplane wrote a bad song about all that stuff with sloppy lyrics. Plenty of other bands expressed that sentiment far more eloquently and coherently than Airplane.

Oh, I understand what Volunteers is trying to say. What I’m saying is it’s lyrics are as inelegant as We Built This City.

Reading Drew defend We Built This City is weird. I was afraid I stumbled onto Slate by accident because defending We Built This City is some weapons-grade performative contrarianism. The song just sucks.

As a middle-aged straight guy, that caught my eye too. Who the hell thought a 70-year-old guy is the best person to make marketing decisions for a company that sells ling...anything to women? That’s like BET hiring Jared Kushner as Program Director.

And, without ignoring the sexist nature of the Trump Administration’s hiring decisions and overall outlook, has East Wing staff ever been considered co-equal to their West Wing counterparts? Also, based on two years of this First Lady, what the fuck public role does Melania Trump have that requires a staff equal to…
