Thank you for talking about one of the horrible Post columnists, who you’re right—they do not enough enough shit. Richard Cohen is bad, but the real shitstains are the one-two punch of Ed Rogers and Mark A. Thiessen, both of whom have no brain beyond the Republican talking point hive mind. Every time I see their names…

The O’Halleran didn’t do anything illegal, and wouldn’t have if they had just accepted the donation and given the receipt. Getting a donation from communists isn’t illegal. I think the idea was, once they have the receipt, to show “TOM O’HALLERAN GETS MONEY FROM COMMIES HE’S AN EXTREMIST LIBCUCK BLARG!!!!!”

Fair enough on that point. Still no reason to start the free agent clock on a 19 year old.

What is Vlad Jr. doesn’t want to play in Canada, though? Is it worth starting his clock towards free agency just because they could afford to resign him if he chooses to resign there?

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, and moved to Los Angeles thirteen years ago. I still love where I grew up, the friends and family I have there, and what Brooklyn and NYC represent to me (and I frequently desire to move back). But I also recognize that the Brooklyn I grew up in mostly doesn’t exist anymore.

You should read the amazing NY Times Magazine article on this very issue (when was the right time): https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/08/01/magazine/climate-change-losing-earth.html

That’s only true in the NFL. Unlike the NFL players union, the MLBPA is actually strong.

“The Red Sox would never spit on their fans the way the Yankees are,” Lang says.

Really the practice can probably be traced to the Silver Age of comics. While it doesn’t match the later practice exactly (because later writers had more of a desire to make these replacements actually track in terms of storytelling), the Silver Age is when DC revamped all its old comics and offered new and entirely…

I very much agree. It was my surprise when I met him that he wasn’t just that asshole, but also creepy on top of everything else.

I’ve met Trebek in person. He’s a strange mixture of creepy and dickish. That he would do this is not remotely surprising to me.

Polanski is a loathsome character and I have no problem with actors and audiences and studios shunning his work. But you have to REALLY stretch things to associate a films about The Dreyfus Affair with an anti-MeToo screed.

So was McCain, though. But I also put this pipe dream at 0%

Holy shit, I laughed so much at the parade of bizarre nonsense pics at the end of this article. Amazing.

I feel like this is one of those things were tone in written speech can be hard to read. I never felt like his admissions that an episode was good was grudging, or where his mention of how this bit is similar to a previous bit felt annoyed or tired. I also always felt that his mentions of how this is a call back to…

Libby Watson’s opinion above is the only good one.

Handlin’s tiresome sour take on VB, a show he obviously grew tired of years ago

I was wondering that. The incest was horrible, but the sodomy was like...are we still arresting people for anal sex? Turns out no. So thank you for the clarification.
