As a concept, sure.* As a law and as a right, however, freedom of speech is exclusively about what the government does to you.

We came together to send 4000 American soldiers to die in Iraq for fuck-all reason, along with millions and counting or Iraqis and now, indirectly, Syrians. Woo-hoo! USA NUMBER ONE!!!! If there is any day we should be willing to say “fuck you” to the assholes who want to use forced patriotic bullshit to get us to…

The NFL has a more general player development problem, created, in large part, by the draft system sending the most exciting players to the worst teams. There's no way to fix it without forcing poorly run teams to internalize costs.

If you changed your name, you might be able to make a few bucks.

I can see why Brady likes Trump. 1. They’re both rich white celebrities. 2. I bet Gisele gets homesick. Who better than Trump to turn America into a dystopian shithole like Brazil? It’s only a matter of time before Trump forgets the border and calls for walls around the slums.

Did Lincoln disobey the Dred Scott decision? The emancipation proclamation, which freed most slaves (except for those in Union states) was under his war powers, and didn’t require disobeying Dred Scott’s holding that former slaves weren’t citizens. And then he enacted the 13th and 14th amendments, which abrogated Dred…

Consent. If you're playing football, you consent to getting hit, which is part of the game. You don't consent to hits that aren't part of the game. This isn't part of the game. There's no way those two idiots thought it was part of the game.

It's obviously a portmanteau of doping and groping, rather than a misspelling of dropping.

Fortunately, the outrage police of the internet have condemned the practice, which had apparently only been a thing at a handful of schools, and now it will never ever happen again. It definitely won’t become more widespread thanks to the publicity.

I bet this asshole made him take his trophies back too!

“Oh, so you also like piña coladas.”

Trump could pee on a bible while eating a fetus, and as long as he still hated Mexicans and Blacks, he wouldn’t lose the allegedly pro-life, “Christian,” republican vote.

The thirteenth amendment allows compelled labor for convicts.

Thank you. And thank you for this column.

My father passed away suddenly on Monday at age 57, so I’m at my Mom’s house this week, in my old bedroom. I still have a couple youth football participation trophies sitting in there in a box, and they remind me of being a kid and my dad being there at practices and games. Those participation trophies aren’t there to…

Vinthent* Valenthineth*. Vincent Valentine was mistranslation, as the original name was written with the totally real Japanese characters for “th,” and that is more decisive than what his name is in the actual game.

Not only are K-9 units not reliable, the court system has gone out of its way to incentivize their irreliability. Once the dog has been certificied, it doesn’t matter how bad its record in the field is, even if it alerts on every single car, even if the cop rewards it for every single alert, false or not, and even if…

The taxpayers are the assholes who are responsible for this shit. Maybe if taxpayers didn’t say “we’d rather have cops rape women on the side of the road than let a black person drive through town with some weed,” the taxpayers wouldn’t be in this predicament.

It’s also the case that most journals don’t publish articles that fail to disconfirm the null hypothesis, so right away, there’s a bias in favor of there being an effect. For all we know, thousands of psych departments have done tests where there was no relationship between video games and aggression, but those…

Bernie might not save black people, but at least he won’t support hunting them down like the Clintons do.
