In French, it’s actually “le zoire.”

I don’t mean to be pedantic, but I think it’s actually “leighzour.”

I agree strongly with all of this except the spelling of “laser.”

It probably took a while for them to get subpoenas for his phone/text records, obtain and review those records, and analyze the crash. In a relatively high profile case, they probably wanted to have their case fully nailed down before formally charging so he couldn’t somehow slither out and give the prosecutor’s…

The part of this article that I like best is that it argues (apparently in earnest) against the premise of a joke about the pace of the news cycle increasing the length of people’s shit breaks. (“As if crossword puzzles and cinder-block-sized Stephen King novels didn’t keep them occupied in more analog years?”) Zing! T…

His behavior was both not funny and inexcusable, but I want to note very briefly that describing him as “farting everywhere” is hilarious.

It is unfair to call Ted Cruz a mutated blob fish; he is a perfectly normal blob fish.

Fair enough.

It goes without saying that the school shooting - and broader gun violence - in America is insane, but that’s not a meaningful comparison. I mean, otherwise, based on the raw number of soldiers killed in the war in Afghanistan and the number of people killed over that same period of time in car accidents, one would…

I love this story so much. I like that he assumed your were referring to the yogurt rather than the Birkenstocks/socks/cargo shorts nightmare. I would have gone the other way; I mean, there’s no explanation needed for the yogurt — that was obviously an accident — whereas the outfit was a choice that needed to be…

I would also accept “Teighloure.”

The best (worst?) part of this is that any of of these three could be named any one of those three names.  Ideally, all three would be named Taylor.

That was the detail that bothered me, too.  If someone reminisced about their time in the boy/girl scouts and mentioned that the campfires smelled like cigarettes, I would immediately know that they were lying.  (Or maybe not, since apparently almost every parent attending a scout event in the wilderness used it as a…

I was going to say limited edition Carey Elwes Ken Doll, but yes.

Another good question would be how long it takes a turkey to masturbate, but that obviously wouldn't be relevant to a campaign rally, unlike the gestation issue, so the President sensibly declined to raise it, saving it for a more appropriate context like a meeting of the joint chiefs of staff. 

I thought her position was more that although some people think that doing A is bad, the people actually doing A think that it is good. Rather than fight about A, why don’t both groups work on B, something they both agree is bad? At least, that’s what I think her position is. It’s certainly consistent with her…

I don’t know, I’ve thought about my analogy a pretty long way and it still seems pretty awesome as an explanation for why the author was not being illogical to say that someone should be punished for two apparently contradictory offenses (which, if you recall, is what we were talking about). If you want, we can talk…

Something you can get at any store or bakery unless stores and bakeries are allowed to refuse to sell them to you based on the owners’ religious prejudices.

Bezos looks like Ben Kingsley, Bouncer Edition.

It’s no different from charging someone with two crimes in the alternative. For example, a person drives on the sidewalk, killing a pedestrian. That person may be charged with murder (on the theory that he intentionally drove his car into that pedestrian) and reckless homicide (on the theory that, if he did not…
