And I’m frankly pissed off that Booker and Harris got pushed out so early. If Warren isn’t going to make it; then they would have been a better viable alternative. Instead we are left with Buttigieg, Klobuchar, and a couple of crotchety old white guys.

What I DON’T need is for a black man to tell me a black woman what my experiences are or aren’t. You are wasting your time barking up my tree. When black women tell you and show you what misogynoir looks like, don’t come at us with this mess. 

I just watched the Gayle interview. While I don’t think the questions were necessary at the time, I don’t think they were overly aggressive nor inappropriate. It was thing in Kobe’s past that is always going to be a thing in his past. But Bill Cosby, Weinstein, R. Kelly and for that matter Russell Simmons (the current…

Like many White liberal institutions, her campaign is living the problem while trying to fight the problem. I’ll give Warren credit for squarely taking responsibility.

What the fuck is wrong with people? He raped that girl, smeared her, nearly destroyed her life and the anger is about asking if that is a tarnishment to his legacy is the problem? This is what reporters do, ask the hard questions, from the responses she sure struck a nerve. A lot people getting nervous about their…

Why not when he went off on a journalist for asking a question? 

-Having daughters doesn’t mean you’re not a misogynist.

When is the appropriate time to bring up Kobe’s past? It will forever be “too soon” for some people and “old news” for some others. So where is that magic hour that people will actually want to talk about it?

THIS!!!! This man admitted he “may have raped” a girl and apologized for it. So, there’s no question about him being a rapist. But, people are outraged when anyone brings up the fact that he was a rapist. What is this? Are we saying that because someone can tell jokes, play ball or sing, it doesn’t matter if they’re a…

He has chops. And in large part all the angry is a feature of American TV. His British stuff was calmer and his first show was about moving to farm with his family to learn hands on how quality food is produced.

#3 on this list is by far the most important - people don’t realize that running a small business is like 10% “doing the thing the business exists to do” and 90% “admin bullshit you need to do to keep the lights on.” 

I would bet that the original owners of the Greek diner had dirt cheap rent and had locked down cheap renewal rates. And, their retirement probably coincided with the expiration of those rates.

Agreed. Asking friends to comp their work for you - in any industry - is a dick move. If they offer a “friends and family” discount, great, but people are trying to make a living here.

you bring up rule #9: true friends will never ask for a comp — especially if you’re just starting out.

Another issue that Bourdain noted in Kitchen Confidential is that the same friends who say you should open a restaurant are the same ones that keep dropping by and expects a bunch of comps and freebies and never pick up a check.

The president will say whatever he wants. And I honestly couldn’t care less about what He says or what self-proclaimed independents claim in a poll. If we are using polls, the polls say a majority of Americans (and all Americans get a say, theoretically) believe the president committed impeachable offenses and should…

Utah’s arguably the most conservative state in America but it’s also state won by Trump with the lowest percentage of the vote.

The other thing Romney’s vote does is to give the impeachment added historical weight as the only instance of a senator voting to convict a president of his own party during an impeachment vote. Trump is forever stained. 

The vote today was legitimately the best plausible outcome we could have hoped for going in. Romney’s clearly looked at the Republican caucus, then looked at his own approval numbers in Utah, then looked back at the president and the caucus and said, “You know what, I don’t need any of you. Watch this. And then try to…

Except they would have to have some reason to suspect the Schmoe family was somehow involved in the crime before they would do that. Someone identified you in a lineup (yes, totally unreliable, but someone claims you did it) they collect your discarded coffee cup. The police don’t go around collecting stray cups and…
