The offensive name-calling words attributed to me by the press were never spoken to my colleagues...

Clearly this is all an effort to appease the powerful Barbers Union.

To all the greys, thanks.  There’s nothing more satisfying than conservative outrage.

I thought the governor said he would “definitely” pardon them.  So why bother?  We’re finally just openly admitting that rich white people are above the law.

Hot take: I’d rather have them home getting paid than armored and fingering their triggers viewing the protesters as a zombie horde they fear will eat them alive.

“Keep politics out of sports!” demands Republican politician in sports.

Maybe you want to sign on to my petition to make black votes count as 5/3rds of a vote for as long as black people were considered as 3/5ths of a person?

Isn’t Don Lemon in danger of fading away entirely if he screws around in his own past? Just take credit for writing Johnny B Goode and get your ass back to the future, Don!

Bias training: “See a Noose, Say a Noose.”

Biggest BS in this entire story is the police chief, a black man, being “shocked” by any of this.

Did crime rates go down? Is there any difference between crime rates and arrest rates? We know cops can find a crime anywhere - just look at how they chased and killed Freddie Gray for running away then found a crime in the “spring assisted” knife every handyman carries on his person.  Crime rates are higher in black

Sometimes even the most well meaning allies screw up. This was one of those times. Like when I (a white guy) wore the Cleveland Indians-style “Caucasians” in Tennessee.  It’s not immediately clear at first glance what side that puts me on.  Lesson learned.

When police murdered Freddie Gray my daughter and I went into the city to witness the protest at City Hall. The city was as eerily empty as I’ve ever witnessed. White people (I am white) were warning each other to stay away in hushed Facebook warnings. I’m sure when things eventually did turn violent every frightened

It’s sad, but I heave a little sigh of relief when the victim didn’t die.  Talk about a low bar.  What’s next?  “Sure, he killed him.  But he didn’t kill his family.”  “Sure, he killed his family, but he didn’t burn his house down.”  “Sure, he killed his family and burned his house down, but he didn’t commit genocide.”

They’d just wind up with different racist thugs.

Every project I go to I spend the first few weeks feeling around for the other liberal on the project.  Then I contrive to get my desk moved next to that person.  At least we can meet gazes and roll our eyes in commiseration when the Stalinist Hillary Deep State talk starts up.

Same line made me laugh and laugh and laugh.  Then cry a little.  Laugh some more.  Take a few hits from my bong.  Then laugh while crying softly.

You read the “Mississippi” part, right?

This tweet sums up moderate Democrats.

Dammit. I wish I had started watching this show so I could stop watching it now. Great book, and Jones fits my mental image of Mr. Nancy PERFECTLY.
