She thought a NYC cop was going to show up for that? The operator (good chance black) is thinking this is the story of the week, bar none. First someone calls because someone is standing and then because she is leaving. Ten squad cars and a fire engine, stat.

Yep. The deal is that white people take a joke that’s just floating out there, turn it into a weapon, so that they can stab themselves with it, to prove how horrible dangerous the joke truly is.

Yep. And, if instead, Obama makes the endorsement 4 days before the election, it will have an impact on getting out the vote, but there won’t be enough time for the evil people to turn it sour.

The announcement said it wasn’t necessarily the last one he’d be making before the election.  Maybe there’s some strategy in the timing.  Could be that there would be more oomph with a later endorsement? Or that he’s trying to keep the tension in his announcements.  I’d be kind of surprised for instance if he isn’t in…

Watching Republican politicians deal with this will be a fun sideshow. To whom is a craven greedy Senator to bow? The man who finances their campaigns or the man who controls their voters?  

I used to clean house for a paraplegic woman. Legs were useless, arms tiny. Nice lady, in constant pain. Drove herself to work in a car with all kinds of levers. I’d just started driving at 50 and I told her how amazed I was at my road rage, never knew I could get that enraged that fast over so little. She said, “y…

The entire world stops everything because a dozen children from Thailand are stuck in a cave. A billionaire gets involved. There will be movie rights because everyone used ingenuity. It took a week. Scientists and Navy Seals were involved, multiple nationalities. A man died trying to get to them. Their lives were…

Yeah, I grew up in a small town in Ohio, nothing special, many just like it.

The internationally recognized philosopher, political scientist and civil rights historian, who happens to have football as a hobby, grunts out a pile.

Deal is that every story like this is the tip of the iceberg. Plenty of places where people would never even think an ambulance would come because it wouldn’t.

Why? Because they likely do the same thing when they want to.  I see this and I think the whole department needs to be fired.  An officer doesn’t do that in front of his colleagues if it isn’t normal.  Unless the other officers are the ones who reported this.

I’m in my 60s and have never worn a shirt that says anything.

Meghan reminds me of a white version of Jordon Peele’s beloved character Meegan.  Resentful, whiny, always expecting to be treated like a queen, but offering nothing.

CUJO doesn’t like being treated like a dog.

But when someone is full of it, do you write, cut out the bologna?

Maybe the designer is?

I bet Liah made up, say, 50% of her letter and black-stats. Why do you need to write this letter if 100% of everyone around you are black and you are at peace with them? 

I can’t catch her name, but the on-site Fox reporter deserves some applause. She manages to report the story straight and very dry, but, after rattling off the official police statement, there’s a short, palpable, pause, and, she lets us know “that’s what the police said” and lets it hover there sounding as idiotic…

Tekashi Lohan.

My non profession opinion is that nobody would buy it.  Bling is bling.
