In Richard Cohen's imagination, back in his days of wine and roses when men were Real Men, there was no need for rape because the rugged whiskeyness, John Wayneness, and Hemingwayness of Cohen & Co. meant that women were just begging for their D that the Real Men had absolutely no need to use violence to get sex.

White guy kills Black kid, and White people are the real victims. Poor White people.

You can almost hear Lillard uttering, "What in the ever-loving fuck?"

This team has almost no objective motivation to play defense, which would translate to more wins since this team has proven it can score.

I always got the impression that economists were usually shrimp-faced dweebs in bow ties who thought that "market forces" could help propel them to become the hulking alpha males that they always secretly knew themselves to be.

Inside the mind of an evolution-denying sports fan:

"Black protagonists don't sell!"

"What are the Knicks doing?" — Every New Yorker since the new millennium came around

If the Lakers were an Eastern Conference team, they'd probably be playoff contenders. The West, in addition to the Lakers' brutal opening schedule, has made them look a lot worse than they really are. Not saying that the Lakers are a good team by any means, but they've still got Bryant and some quality players like…

It's because the Lakers play in the Western Conference and many of their opponents have been legit contenders (Warriors, Grizzlies, Rockets, Spurs).

He was at a Japanese restaurant too, right? I bet Cesar has an Asian fetish. They're just so much nicer to him than mean old American (aka White) women! And dontcha know, Asian women have a natural predilection for awkward and losery non-Asian men?

It's about social status. In many American schools, the Greek scene determines your place in the social hierarchy. If you're not accepted and favored by the cool Greek people, you're the equivalent of a high school chess club member.

Have you seen the success rate that teams have in drafting franchise QBs? Tim Couch was once a #1 overall draft pick, as was JaMarcus Russell.

Lots of angry dudes who think that the reason they can't get laid by 8s and 9s, and why they're not starting QB for the Dallas Cowboys is because of FEMINISM.

It's symptomatic of the "devil's deal" that the public has with male professional athletes: we'll treat you like gods (if you're good), but that also means that we get to belittle and criticize you as much and as unfairly as we want.

Who said anything about people having easy control over their own preferences? But the fact remains that sexual preferences are much more malleable than sexual orientation, unless you believe that homosexuality is a choice. You just have to trace the shifting beauty standards through the different eras.

You can't compare sexual orientation with sexual preferences, unless you believe that people are influenced to be gay in the same that people were once influenced to find plump people attractive.

Better than Fallout or Fallout 3. Just the best.

Thief is probably the scariest game I've ever played, and it's not because of ghouls or hellish beasts. Just the footsteps of a guard is enough to make you freeze.

I think the difference is that Katy Perry is actually from California.
