“As a public opponent of capital punishment, Judge Griffen should have recused himself from this case,” Deere said.

“In 1987, they had been reduced to recording a cover of “Wipeout” with corpulent rappers the Fat Boys.”

I’m only HALF ashamed to say that Kokomo was my jam in fifth grade. I used to make mix tapes of songs I recorded off the radio. As in, I’d hear a song I liked on the radio, then rush to put the tape in and record. So a lot of beginnings of songs were missing, or I would just get a lot of the Top 40. Also, I’d record…

I don’t always read segments from autobiographies while standing in the grocery store, but when I do they’re Mackenzie Phillips’ because holy shit some things you need to read for yourself.

I sang “Kokomo” in the shower this morning, and I think I’ll continue to do so every day for the rest of my damn life.

What? You not a fan of the post-apocalyptic hobo look?

But, why you tryin’ to copy Kanye, tho...?

Librarians are not to be fucked with! They will school you!

Good call. He’s made a terrible argument here that I have no interest in defending. And you’re right, I don’t think there’s any room for dissenting opinion when it comes to campus rape, when that dissenting opinion is invariably that it’s an imaginary problem.

The clever deniers have shifted their argument under cover of “skepticism,” the same way anti-vaxxers don’t outright say vaccines cause autism anymore, just that we shouldn’t blindly trust the FDA. It’s all dog whistle bullshit, and the NYT shouldn’t be promoting it.

I really cannot stand how patriotism in the USA is now defined by most of the media, and sadly actual voters, as support our violence. Patriotism surely cannot be trying to make things better for the citizens of the USA oh hell no!

The campus-rape epidemic—in which one in five female college students is said to be the victim of sexual assault—is an imaginary enemy. Never mind the debunked rape scandals at Duke and the University of Virginia, or the soon-to-be-debunked case at the heart of “The Hunting Ground,” a documentary about an alleged…

A few years before he died, my uncle visited the same city I was in for college, and he and I had a sparring session about the Iraq War. Now, just to provide you with context, my uncle was a career military man who had gone through OTC as part of his college education. He was one of the first generation of officers to…

Somebody very wise told me that the first casualty of war is always the plan.

To be clear, Fox News is just unbelievably horny if all the sexual harassment lawsuits are any indication. Maybe in network years, Fox News has just hit puberty and is acting like an aggressive butthead to get attention from the lady stations?

And how many of those cackling saber-rattlers on Fox “News” are actual military vets? (I did 3 years in the Army as NATO headcount.)

I was hoping his request for extra cash for the military was to create a proper structure to address all the issues that plague current members and veterans as a result of their service to the US and to increase humanitarian activity in the places American soldiers are serving. Clearly I am a socialist wacko and will…

The answer to why Twitter doesn’t cut off Donald Trump is money. Its always about the money.
