When escaped slaves were caught and killed it wasn’t called murder but a lynching, and this dismissive term persisted even after emancipation. The lives of some were considered less important than others. You are perpetuating this hierarchy of value with your choice of terminology.

Completely unnecessary use of the word literally. We understood your point without it.

Is there a mercy rule in the regular season? I recall seeing horribly lopsided games and thinking it would be better just to end it but they just keep playing until it’s over.

I’m all in favor of guys shaving their pits, do it myself and it’s definitely becoming more common among lifters since seeing a bunch of pit hair when he flexes is gross. It’s surprising that a Russian fighter would do it. Doesn’t seem to serve any purpose and if it’s for aesthetic reasons why not take of the chest…

In the age of Internet reporting, can any outlet be said to have an exclusive scoop when anyone else with a web presence can discuss it immediately? I imagine a scoop as being something exclusively available to readers or viewers of that particular media.

The inevitable sequel to two guys one horse, one bar one horse. 

Democrats should just pursue term limits for justices. These life appointments are a joke.

“he was literally all the way out in center field”

The only thing incredible about fur is the cruelty it causes.

I like Michael Bloomberg, but not the running mates suggested. He is serious about climate change which would get my vote. But I’m Canadian so I don’t get to play.

The journalist who asked Winfrey the question was most likely the late film critic Gene Siskel as that is how he ended his interviews. Also, they were both from Chicago. 

I can get it to play on my PC but not iPad where it doesn’t appear. 

If you’re born with it, why cut it off? I didn’t think anyone got circumcised these days given how frequently i’ve seen foreskin in the photos on Tumblr pages I frequent. Don’t do it.

“She’s an eminently qualified physician who has both a medical degree and a masters of divinity from Yale.”

What is a masters of divinity and how does that qualify you for anything?Sounds like more religious gobbledygook. 

Because discs get scratched and you’re halfway through the movie and can’t watch the rest until they send you a replacement. 

That headline deserves an award.

And what do you say to those former football players that have developed brain damage from regular hits leading to aggression, depression and suicide? Grunts like you that are yoked to brutishness espouse values, as you call them, that civilized society has rejected. The end of contact football will be another sign of…

Oh, the Catholic Church, where else has it been in the news recently?

“I’ve got nothing but respect for runners who go the distance on these marathon games”

Sure glad that climate change problem was solved so that the next generation can burn fossil fuels with impunity.
