How frequently someone gets ejected has nothing to do with whether or not they are whiny, immature, or an asshole.

A.J. Pierszynski and Russell Martin have roughly the same number of ejections (source: http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2015/1/19/7628…), and it’s widely known that A.J. is a complete douchebag, while…

Hyperbole is a useful rhetorical tool. In both cases, the narrative surrounding the player has fuck-all to do with reality.

And Harper actually DOES play the game “the right way,” just like all those asshats love. They just don’t recognize it because they prefer a bland meathead who hustles and kind of sucks to a charismatic star who hustles EVEN MORE and is awesome.

Bryce Harper is a douchebag because . . . ummmm . . . he blew a kiss at a pitcher? Who was plunking batters? In the minors? Half a decade ago?

Bryce isn’t anywhere close to a douchebag, period, let alone the uber-douche that morons who know nothing about the kid seem to have created from whole cloth. He’s a good…

Guy in Pittsburgh using the words “chuffed” and “arse,” pointing out irrelevant misspellings on the menu, and patting himself on the back for tipping pre-Groupon as if that’s anything other than standard?

Yeah, I totally believe that you weren’t at all an insufferable prick to the server and probably everyone else you…

Doug McManus knows that HE’S the abjectly terrible one, not the poor server he tricked into saying “douche” all night, right?

Or they know that psychotic wingnuts in Denmark are hellbent on making asylum-seekers’ lives difficult: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/eur…

“I feel it’s really important that we make fun of everybody,” she said.

OK, but punch UP.

America: Drink the water, but watch for armed lunatics. And bring your rubber doorstop.

“A cheap rubber door stop can provide reasonable security, instantly. Take one with you when you’re staying in hotels in shitty parts of the world, and, if you have a door to use it on, keep one in your desk, too.”

Sounds to me like the author is saying that America is one of those “shitty parts of the world.”

Shocker, all of them have “white girl” as the default beauty standard.

To be fair: do you have a peer-reviewed academic source for your original assertion?

EDIT: Never mind. Read down the thread and don’t want to be on the same side as that condescending dude, burden of proof or no burden of proof.

Countering the programming society gives little girls (be quiet, be nice, your body is shameful, you are a temptress, you are at fault, you are ruining a man’s life) will be far more useful to them.

I know you’re trying to be funny, but these people were sincerely trying to help. There was no need to be so rude and curse at them.

Using curse words for shock value is just bad practice, and this is why little blogs like this Kitchenette (never heard of it before now) will never get off the motherfucking ground.

The common thread appears to be a too-healthy regard for one’s own intelligence.

“Many of Stewart’s enemies figured that out long ago: Carlson’s 2003 book Politicians, Partisans, and Parasites, which had predicted the demise of Crossfire, has a much more realistic view of the cable-news biz, where fame-humping guests and fake experts are compensated with nothing but green-room coffee. It’s an…

Obligatory.

Everyone knows John Boehner is the True Detective. The crying, the drinking, the sense of utter futility.

This is all irrelevant, because the owner screamed in the face of a 21-month-old kid. She does not deny that, at all.

Scream at the parents? Sure, we can debate that. Kick them out? Sure, we can debate that. I’d be much more sympathetic to the owner in both of those instances.

However: yelling in a not-yet-two-year-old…
