“Lifelong public servant” meaning beginning her public career in 2000 as a Senator at age 53, right? You’re not seriously suggesting that her various roles as the wife of a elected official (state and federal) somehow amounts to public service experience? Because it doesn’t. At all.

That’s cool and all until you remember that she makes multiple millions to read the news and be spunky. I applaud her but the fact that a news reader makes that much in the first place is fucking ridiculous.

Maybe a little context for the whole 37 thing, for those of us with jobs . . .

So this wasn’t really an argument against people living together, it was an essay about why you, a particular person, shouldn’t co-habitate for reasons very specific to you, a particular person?

Who the hell answers the door in the nude, especially when you know it’s the fucking police. At least grab a towel, man.

Oh, God, Tommy Lasorda would be so pissed off . . .

This might be that weird, easy-to-understand blunder that gets the ball rolling on shutting down the olympic circus that goes from city to city wreaking…

The Las Vegas Meadows has a nice ring to it.

Shooting the wrong target and pulling the trigger early aren’t “flukes”, they’re fuck-ups.

As Bob Costas said, “race walking is like having a competition to see who can whisper the loudest.”

The statistical improbability, especially in comparison to a no-hitter or hitting for the cycle, is complicated because this acheivement almost necessarily requires an extra inning game. Any game can end up a no-hitter and you can hit for the cycle in nine innings. If every game was 14 innings this would probably…

I thought King acted like an obnoxious little shit. Four or five years from now when the new up and comer starts beating her, I wonder if she’s going to be gracious about it.
