Miami is not America.

I think it’s not a great comparison because of the geographic diversity of the example, but then I’m not well-versed on the scope of Cuban settlement in America. It’s also not a great comparison because those never were a thing. There was no time when the white community was all about gospel. There was a period in…

why are you so angry

Someone once asked Dan Savage to name the most disgusting fetish magazine he’d ever seen and he said “Cigar Aficonado.” Say what you will about him, I’ll always love that.

But ... a Cuban thing being popular in the Cuban community isn’t the same as a Cuban thing suddenly being popular nationwide. The Amish having beards this whole time doesn’t mean that the big beard didn’t have a nationwide comeback.

Things can be popular and/or prevalent and still see a spike in usage due to outside factors. Everyone on Earth could own an i-Phone at one point, but if a bunch of people started buying more than one, it would cause a spike.

Good on you for being a considerate cigar user. I’m much more tolerant of the smell when it’s wafting around outside and not seeping into my home around the edges of the garage door, as is too frequently the case here. Again, my beef with the whole cigar thing is entirely personal annoyance at the encroachment of the…

Look, I’m down with whatever vice adult people want to consume in moderation, and I’m well aware of the longevity of Mr. Burns, as well as that of Granny Mimi over at the old folks’ home who attributes her 103 years to her daily Jack Daniels and nightly prayers. Every curve has its outliers, and huzzah for those who…

That’s kinda like saying at least a colonoscopy isn’t a prostate exam.

I thought that was when you got semen on your dress and then held onto it, keeping it unwashed for some reason, until your boss gets impeached.

What? Lots of cigar stores have wooden statues out front.

Cigars are the goddamn worst.

Whilst visiting my boyfriend’s relatives, we used their washer, and the clothes practically came out dry from the washing machine! Plus, like...nothing wrinkled in the dryer...it was the most magical washer/dryer it’s ever been my privilege...nay...pleasure to use.

Getting to write that letter would be the highlight of any attorney’s career.

In a 1976 letter, the KKK threatened Alabama’s Attorney General Bill Baxley for going after the perpetrators of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama. They compared him to John F. Kennedy, and made him an “honorary n****r.” Baxley responded, on official state letterhead, as follows:

It really is.

The “Fuck You” legal response letter is one of America’s greatest gifts to the written word, but one of its least known or studied.

I don’t think that is true. Depending on the particular case, all of the justices are pretty active at oral argument except for Thomas. Thomas is speaking now because is mouthpiece Scalia is gone. There are a number of cases where there was considerable back and forth between Scalia and other justices. What I think…

Not just the fact that he wears it. But he wears it to the gym while on the elliptical. Weirdo.
