Keep spouting off the insane nonsense Rafael, please. Even god-fearing christian white Texans get sorta blanched when the idea of a cop walking in their front door and shooting at them comes up.  O’Rourke already has the gift of The Words and The Looks in his favor, so more ranting and raving from Cruz will just paint…

This case is all kinds of heartbreaking and horrifying, and that’s before there’s even been substantive evidence or testimony. The slow motion ooze of the State’s Attorney to even press charges, and only after releasing some limited dashcam footage a year after the fact...the conspiracy of officers trying to falsify…

When in criminal proceedings the establishment likes to call upon the “character” of the defendant and their witnesses, I find it only fitting that we examine very closely the character of those persons wishing to become judges.

Let them come back to the “witch hunt” analogy over and over again, that’s fine. I’d counter with their own Colin Kaepernick argument...if he’s so great, why hasn’t somebody snapped him up yet? If Kavanaugh is such a prize specimen, why wasn’t his name floated earlier (During one of the Bush administrations even?) and…

Here’s an underscore why the Kavanaugh confirmation process is so critical: it’s a lifetime appointment to the court that will probably decide what kind of FISA-obtained evidence can and can’t be admissable in court. The Congress didn’t have the political will (or the foresight) to question the various scenarios where…

Not an iTunes user here, but how then does Apple define the difference between a “purchase” and a “rental” in the store? I would think if I bought something and the rights holder then later revoked Apple’s license to distribute, I would either a) be able to keep the content as it was delivered under a perfectly valid…

I dunno about that...a food writer or blogger is presumably going to dine out at Giant assuming they can print an article/story/review later about their dining experience, something they get paid for (either directly via their publication, or indirectly through page clicks and ads or whatever). Having it turn out that…

Glad wrap isn’t magic, and three-days of airtight storage is plenty of time to let some serious foodborne illnesses develop, even under refrigeration. A food writer or a professional chef telling you on camera it tastes delicious is all fine and well - it could still put somebody in the hospital. Did they take extra…

Norm is one of those comics who seems like he’s ALWAYS in character...as though the Hollywood Reporter interview and any apology would also have been done in character...so what’s sincere, the off-color or tasteless comments, bordering on observational humor, or the half-hearted formality apology?

Firstly: I’d trade in my real legs for robotic prosthetics if I could only be “Ray Park fat” (which typed out, sounds like a different actor entirely)

But, the economy has never been stronger, the jobless rate is the lowest in like 50 years, wages are up 1.4%, that tax cut is definitely probably maybe trickling somewhere (definitely totally not offshore though!) and the stocks, holy cow, the stocks...they’re bigly. So why in the flying fuck would we take money OUT…

The highest possible standard should be an absolute non-negotiable. A citizen commits a crime and injures another citizen, but when a LEO commits a crime WHILE ON THE JOB, they injure not just the victim, but entire institutions, communities, and damage the very fabric of our legal system.

It’s not all *that* slippery...after all, being born a POC is a genetically determined inescapable certainty, but being a cop is 100% by choice.

241,000 law enforcement officers you say?  How many of them know what the fuck a dilettante is, how to spell it and/or use it in a proper sentence?  Yeah, see, that’s part of the problem right there:  they’re either a mass of ignorant dufuses OR their “elected” union representatives are making statements on the…

For real. It’s a long-running game of Monopoly, using real buildings. A company acquires another, sells of a certain number of locations to a third company that rebrands, and then holds for a few years, then shuffles everything up again when another round of mergers and acquisitions presents itself or the commercial…

Well, if you mean closing two (or more) smaller, lower volume locations, and building one bigger new location in the same general area, then yeah, I guess they were closing stores. They weren’t rolling in dough like Amazon, but I don’t think swapping out or consolidating locations in major markets is a decline. Their…

I was brought up not to speak ill of the dead, but I’d feel better about McCain’s legacy, such as it is, if he had resigned sometime after the healthcare “thumbs down” vote, and before Arizona’s cut off for a special election to replace him, as now we get to see who the whack-a-doodle AZ Gov. will appoint to fill his…

The last 24 hours of Twitter have been people falling all over themselves and each other to contribute to McCain’s canonization as some Saint of the Republic(tm).

WHO, the EU and whatever board the State of California uses to identify carcinogens, have all already weighed in on glyphosate being potentially risky well in advance of this legal case.  I suspect the release of the survey of products for Roundup residue was timed to coincide with news of the jury verdict for…

Yes.  Something is amiss, on a large scale.  The other issue here is Monsanto has always stated (and hired consultants and experts to assert, repeatedly) that glyphosate breaks down quickly, doesn’t accumulate, and couldn’t possibly show up in any appreciable amounts in finished products.  All the steps that happen to…
