My birthday is exactly a week before Christmas, and as such, is almost always the day that my office chooses to have their holiday party. This has happened several times over the years with various jobs, and it is generally uncomfortable and has occasionally gotten weird.

The most memorable, however, was several…

I was really, really hoping for baby Björn-style. I am disappoint.

lol he needed an interpreter. I wonder if he asked her why Kanye was so mean to him?

Sorry, no. It isn't "accurate" at all because the notion behind "juice feasting" is one of getting the "junk" out of your system - as though a tsunami of liquid kale headed for the Phuket that is your intestines can somehow scour them clean. Worse, that it can then hit some sort of magic "reset" button on the way…

Homeopathy is the biggest pile of bullshit. Yes, let's put some of a substance in water and dilute it a million times and that makes it MORE POWERFUL against all known laws of science and common sense.

If you smell like patchouli and play hacky sack, you're getting painted.

He wasn't a thug, he was a human being. Your choice to intentionally dehumanize him tells us everything we need to know about your bias and how you arrived at the conclusion you did. Please take a long time to consider what made you into the kind of person who dehumanizes strangers based on ... the color of their…

Your post is really thoughtful, and I agree with a lot of it. There was one discrete point that I wanted to respond to, because it's something I think about a lot — the idea that if you run from the police you deserve to be shot. (I apologize if I'm misconstruing what you said.)

I generally feel that if you attack or flee from a police officer (who isn't hiding his identity as a cop or blatantly committing a crime himself) you deserve to be shot.

St. Louis City resident here: EVERY media source needs to do a better job of distinguishing between the St Louis Metropolitan PD(city cops-SLMPD) and St Louis County PD(county cops with NO jurisdiction in the city as the city is independent of the county-SLCPD). Two different departments with markedly different…

I missed those "peaceful protests"?

I'm not a huge supporter of Michael Brown. I generally feel that if you attack or flee from a police officer (who isn't hiding his identity as a cop or blatantly committing a crime himself) you deserve to be shot. Obviously, figuring out the truth of whether this is what happened is another matter, but with all of the…

Really? I'm sorry.

"fired for falsifying reports." You have no idea how happy this makes me. When I worked as a prosecutor, I lost count of the number of times one of my cases got torpedoed when one of my witnesses was blatantly caught in a lie on the stand. And by "one of my witnesses," I mean "one of the police officers who were…

This is the first time in my life I posted a "tweet" to my social media feeds. I kinda hate twitter, I think it's a b.s. company that the media embraces because it's scared of the internet and thinks users = relevance. the 128 character dumbfone revolution that powered Twitter overseas is long over and most foreigners…

I have some fondness for the city, but it's surrounded by the county. Most of the county can and should go fuck itself.

Governmentalist: noun; class of citizens whom endeavor to prevent acts of incest in the skeet shed at my gun club.

Prior to the decision, the protests were by and large peaceful with a few incidents of violence but many were ended by the police without reason anyway. After the decision, although the media decided to focus on the violence (which from what I saw from that coverage was initially equal between rioters and police with…

I love my city, and to see the racial divide we have on a daily basis is heartbreaking. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
