As Pareene alludes to, there are people (inside the media and out of it) for whom the flag draped coffin is a religious fetish object. American Holiness lives in that casket, and how dare you critique it.

Trotting out the military as props is like Politics 101. Their families are inherently sympathetic, and Soldiers get virtually no say in what they are told to do (if someone tells them to go stand next to the President and have him pin on an award, that’s what they do). Plus politicians can funnel all sorts of money…

As long as you can get American soldiers killed, you will always have defenders, because there will always be people who think saying that American soldiers were sent somewhere to die for no good reason is more offensive than sending American soldiers somewhere to die for no good reason.

Fuck those rich, snotty Bloomfield Hills assholes.

His name is Jason Pierre Paw.

I think that is the crux of why this transition of power is so hard for people. Whether you agreed with Obama or not, he and his family are good people. Great examples. Then we go to the white trash fake millionaire silver spoon crowd of the Trumps and it feels wrong. Obama did care and we know Trump does not. I…

Good take. I love Michelle Obama, think she is an excellent role model and smarter than her husband. Awesome. But, that “when they go low we go high” was not the right move for election like this one. I screamed at the TV every time I saw that phrase. We needed gutter politics to fight a craven lunatic dumb…

I think what people fail to realize about their wedding is that it’s one day thing where, after it’s over, no one involved ever really thinks about it again except the couple and maybe their parents. People take out loans to throw $40,000 weddings they can’t afford all for the sake of a one-off event that all…

Well at least the people who attend the final regular season game at Joe Louis Arena will know for sure it’s the last game the Wings will play there.

He was my daughter’s micro-soccer coach when she and his kid were 4 years old. He couldn’t have been nicer, more mellow, or better liked by the kids. He adapts to every situation to be great at whatever it is.

So aren’t Russell’s pre- and post-sex numbers sort of like that Seinfeld where George gets smart when he stops having sex, and then when he finally breaks he’s so dumb that he messes up one of Jerry’s acts?

Leroy Hoard who had an all-time fat back quote: “If you need one yard, I’ll get you three. If you need five yards, I’ll get you three.”

Conservatives: “This country is so PC no one can speak their mind!”

“I’m against protesting, but I don’t know how to show it.”

As a native of Macomb County whose extended family almost all reside in Oakland County, I couldn’t agree more. We’re the worst! Both my sets of grandparents fled Wayne County in the 60s and we only set foot there for Eastern Market (or in my dad’s case, to work at a soup kitchen - he makes us all look bad), but…

I constantly see people wearing Detroit vs Everybody shirts here.

These people live in Oakland County, which might as well be the inverse of Detroit: Overwhelmingly white, conservative, and has functioning public services. The only time you fuck with Detroit is for the Eastern Market on on Saturdays or Tigers games.…

What you call Boston or dime. We call running yard.
