C’moonnn Cubs v Indians.....

She specifically upholds his right to demonstrate, and does not dismiss it. What on earth are you talking about?

Her legal opinion is what he’s doing is legal. Unless she says she wants to make stupid things illegal you’re not even orbiting a decent point.

Exactly. I have friends who have absolutely the opposite political beliefs on virtually every issue. I find their political stances stupid and dangerous. They think mine are immoral and dangerous. So you know what? We just don’t talk politics. That leaves every other topic from sports to TV to reminiscing about high…

Setting aside any statements he may have made outside of the court (some of which were troubling, but ultimately irrelevant for the purposes of governance), anyone who claims that Scalia’s jurisprudence wasn’t ultimately based on (a) a strict textual interpretation of the Constitution and (b) a strongly held belief in…

Why? Or are you one of these people who can only be friends with people who hold the same political beliefs? How boring. And how insecure you must be in your beliefs that you can only tolerate the company of the like-minded.

That, or some people can put aside political beliefs when establishing friendships, either staying away from that boundary or knowing what buttons not to push. Obama and Tom Coburn, for example.

No no no. I’m a Sox fan, we’ve always been assholes too. We just went from “self-pitying assholes” to “Obnoxious chest-thumping assholes.” BIG difference.

I second this counterpoint.

Because ever since they got the NBA rights, ESPN hasn’t wanted to talk about anything but basketball.

Maybe he really liked Harambe, and the message wasn’t about humans at all. :P

Right? I’m totally going to be That Person and ask how this even qualifies as actual art.

I was all “a black pitcher who’s not Dominican?* That’s a unicorn regardless of her gender!”

For my 12 birthday, my godfather took me to the weekend rounds of the 1955 Canadian Open. It was super boring watching all those good old boys on the course, till we started following this young, athletic American player. He ended up winning the tournament and I was a fan ever afterwards. He was such an exciting…

I boldly predict that 95% of people will apply this law appropriately, and with sound and nuanced judgement. I also predict that 5% of people will be completely irresponsible A-holes smashing windows like meth-addled animal rights vigilantes.

I guess the crowds were freeing merchandise from white oppression?

Dylan I think diminishes quite a bit because of his longevity. As ghoulish as it is to say, Hendrix or Joplin never had the chance to become old and bored and jaded. Dylan has sounded to me for many years now like someone who ran out of not only things to say but also the desire to want to say something. At some point…

“I guess he played basketball in college too.”

Judges can’t do that.
