Over and over and over I see it. Cops hate to look silly. They don’t like to be humiliated. And they have such big egos you can humiliate them by asking questions. They don’t like to chase someone who is more clever and fast. They don’t like it when someone slips out of a half nelson. And so they shoot them or…

There’s kids there. Excited kids because having a barbecue by the lake is a special occasion. And this becomes the special occasion.

These story lines belong to kindergarteners.

I think Exhibit B is especially good.

Madonna invented Catholic art couture, have some respect.

So, I don’t know about these things. If he were to tell investors that he refused to deal with private prisons, what would happen?

You couldn’t be more wrong that they are run better. For-profit prisons are more expensive, less safe, and have worse conditions than public ones. That’s a very low standard to fail. The government expensively contracts for these places to be full, so if there is a shortage of prisoners, it still pays the…

I dread the funeral. I think they’re going to treat him like JFK.  It’s going to be covered by cable news and the media 24/7 for a week, at least. I’m sure all of them have all kinds of special programming planned in anticipation. Every cliched trope about him is going to be flapping in the wind. There will be…

That’s my take too.

A kid who is fixated by their social media status is being exposed to mania. She will always think she needs to be special for the rest of her life. Always trying to get that rush from this mysterious, nebulous force out there: the public. Someone needs to get her off to a farm for a year or two, chopping wood and…

If I took away all the repulsiveness of her angle and I were a talent scout looking for child actors, she’s not without talent. As for going into obscurity, I think its tragic that a child learns to value celebrity, their own, and that of others so deeply and so early. Kids should be around simplicity, not mind…

A 9 year old expresses herself in a formulaic gangster voice as though she were an adult. She comes off pretty phoney in terms of grit, but she’s actually not that bad, for someone who is doing something that makes me sad. There are also adults who should perhaps consider what it means that a 9 year old can so…

I cheat by memorizing, down to how I stress a syllable, a half dozen long sentences that don’t mean much of anything.   Just nice words that I enjoy saying, and sound pretty, almost like a short patch of song which I can put anywhere and nobody will notice, in case I need twenty seconds of confidence or when I lose my…

Its hilarious, angry, biting and impassioned. Her assessment is about right, the end could have been more useful. But the woman is doing a 5 minute live skit on national television, what, 5 days after? Is she supposed to bash her brains out on the wall of her cell or something?

Most cops in London don’t even carry guns.

America is based upon the premise that education is the great equalizer by which individuals have the opportunity to transcend class and race. That’s the theory. But quality education is not available to some children, the cornerstone of American progress is gone. The self centered white people in the article…

Here’s Anne Branigan’s question: Why aren’t you drawing attention to problems in the education system instead of exposing racism?

Everyone knew this would happen and shrugged.

Most respectful and most damning assessment I’ve read.

The man is rambling on about skipping meds in public.  His kids are probably terrified of him, its that basic, his chemistry is fucked.
