And you know what they say about not chasing the ball while you claim it was just ordinary play...MEN LIE WOMEN LIE BALL DON’T.

It’s definitely a thing in Turkey, but take that for what it’s worth.

Or Scrooge McDuck, who saw the ghost of Christmas past.

Eh, they’re not missing anything. Kanter’s just an Hagia Oafia.

Note: “against the rules.” Not, presumably, against the law. He didn’t cross over into the state of nature by running onto the field, however Hobbesian it appears.

It’s so odd that the people pushing this argument are the same people bemoaning the decline of the West and the rise of moral relativism. Remember when five seconds ago Kelly was saying nobody believes in selflessness anymore? Northerners dying to free the slaves is about as selfless as you get in American history.

I’d like to propose REDUNDANT, in which attractive young people are invited on dates by their professional superiors in exchange for career advancement.

FAKE NEWS. The best of the theses, by far, is this one:

1. Indulgences? The pope is indulging her in the ass two times a week at the Jefferson hotel, Room 1210, but let me ask you this, what about the 3000 monks he had burned for confusing the first and second declensions?

I also rarely know what people are screaming when they grab balls near me.

Without knowing anything about it, I feel like maybe there’s a better law firm in town than “Frost Brown Todd?” Possibly the esteemed “Snow Green Frog?”

Contrarian take: the rise of “Man, Trump makes me miss Bush!” “taeks” is caused primarily by how bad all of us are at writing. It’s a half-formed idea about the exceptional nature of current politics inadequately expressed.

Anyway. love your work, Libby!

One of my favorite writers — Zeynep Tufekci — wrote something recently about the disintegration of democracy in Turkey (where I’m living) over the last ten years. She said that if she could have changed one thing (I’m paraphrasing) it would have been to make the people who were supposed to support the leftist…

This should be the punishment for basically every crime. Can you imagine if the bankers who committed fraud had to write to their victims every week?

The old saw that all that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing was never truer than it was in Weinstein’s case.

But also a national party that closed ranks and provided no bipartisan cover on Obamacare defense, and dealt Trump an embarrassing series of legislative failures, no? It took absolute Democratic consensus to position McCain, Collins, and Murkowski as the key votes.

I’m sure your experience is reasonably…

Sorry, I don’t have the emotional capacity to keep tabs on the mental well being of all 53 active players on my favorite team’s roster, let alone all of their mothers and girlfriends. I give you my time and money to be entertained and you make a very good living in the bargain.

This doesn’t make any sense. They’re challenging his agenda in Congress, in the courts, on the streets, and in the media. Sure, they’re not perfect. But you go to war with the left you do have, not the left you wish you had.

“leadership from either party!”

Man, take that “both sides”-ism somewhere else.

I think this touches on a hard question about what it is to be evil. Which is worse: the person who believes evil things, or the person who uses evil beliefs instrumentally? Is the sincere Nazi or the machiavellian Nazi manipulator (who knows that the Nazi beliefs aren’t true but doesn’t care) worse? And is there a…
