I would say that we should have a model similar to the BBC, which relies partially on public funding, but after seeing whats happening with PBS and NPR...

Sacrifice ratings and ad revenue for the sake of decency and journalistic integrity? Has the world gone mad?

There is a strange poetry to the sight of fascists assembling to intimidate the powerless juxtaposed with these activists assembling against intimidating authority.

We’re beginning to see some of it, with Facebook campaigns outing white supremacists to their employers. People tend to turn when acquaintances learn that they hold unsavory beliefs. I mean if we can identify people on police blotters for DUIs, I have no issue with publishing the names of these participants

The solution is to actively identify, shame, and if necessary prosecute all adherents to white supremacist ideology, silly.

The Nazis in that dystopia were far more articulate.

In the spirit of our President’s push to memorialize aspects of our history and culture, I have commissioned statues of Benedict Arnold, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, John Walker Lindh, Timothy McVeigh, Daniel Shays, and Ted Kaczynski to appear in prominent locations throughout the country. Protesters will be greeted…

I actually threw a bunch of sand up there back in March and am now the proud owner of five diamonds. Look out DeBeers, I’m comin’ for ya!

The reason why racist leaders turn to the bible is because they know their flock has never read it, but revere it nonetheless.

If it’s any consolation, when Trump backs down (because our Generals will not fire weapons at his behest), he’ll simply say it that North Korea blinked first, claim victory on every media outlet, and attempt to silence those who publish the truth. His supporters will be none the wiser. In other words, it’ll just be…

Our president’s idea of talking tough is to quote cliched 1980's action movies. Thing is, if these threats were addressed to Kim Jong Il, they might’ve actually been effective.

As much as I want to blame the GOP for their hypocrisy, this seems a hell of a lot like a case of “Four legs good, two legs better!”

USC is not UCLA

As a fiscal conservative, I think we can just give him a fake Time Magazine cover each morning. The headline can read “YUR DA BESTEST PRESIDENT EVAH!!! XD ;)” and the cover photo can be replaced with a mirror, so he’ll believe it’s a new issue each day.

And the Overton Window drifts ever rightward...

I can never get enough of the Calvinist ideology that tells me one one hand I shouldn’t sin, and on the other that every action and occurrence is the product of God’s will. So if God willed that pastor to smoke crack and engage in homosexual affairs, is it really a sin? If I aborted five fetuses tomorrow (I’ve been…

I love how Slate’s response to the writers’ request that they spend more on the staff is to imply that if they do so, they won’t have any money to hire their replacements.

It’s a really depressing argument to use. It’s like telling a kid his dog died. “Oh, you thought they were talking about you?”

Translation: I’ve got mine. Now cut my taxes.

Right and death is a symptom of cancer. And starvation is a symptom of famine. Do we not prevent the latter to avoid the former?
