Mass fatalities are less common and less deadly now. (mass shootings and school shootings are up, which is tragic beyond mere numbers). It feels worse because of mass communication. In 1970 a Cyclone in the Bay of Bengal killed 500,000. Events that killed over 100,000 were common for centuries. These terrible things…

I don’t see how this has anything to do with political correctness or progressives.

I love how the snake vocalizes along to the lead guitar, but while he plays bass. That is a serious talent. Bon Jovi is in the rock and roll hall of fame but no The Nightmare? what a rip-off!

Just as I did not choose to be gay, I did not choose to be conservative.

Sexy Rexy could fling it.

For some reason, this totally sounds like the setup for a goof to me, including Megan’s comment about respecting his family’s privacy. I’ve read the post three times looking for the punchline. Like, I expect it to be a reference to a viral video of him losing a bet, having to eat a Doritos Locos Bacon McRib, then shart…

Well said. Meaning no critique of anything you said, those felons should have their voting rights regardless of any atonement or redemption. A felony does not mean you surrender your humanity or your membership in society. There may be reasons individuals can’t vote while in prison, but the right to vote is a…

There is no such thing as an underage prostitute. They are victims. I say this as someone who thinks prostitution should be legal. Even if she murdered in cold blood in a robbery, even if her murdered john thought she was of age, even if she produced a perfect passport saying she was 21, even if the john was a victim…

After the injury, weren’t people saying that despite similarities to Theismann’s injury, this was non-career threatening because, unike Theismann’s, Smith’s bones didn’t break through the skin, so he wouldn’t get the infection that was the true career ender? There is definitely some kind of curse involved. I can’t…

Beyond the terrible damage done by redefining “Domestic Violence” as “Hitting a Woman” (it erases the emotional abuse and manipulation that comes with true Domestic Violence), It is just really bad Journalism. The whole point of journalism is to describe events accurately and put them in the context of what occurred…

Because Verizon. They don’t want to be known for owning an adult site. They don’t want to be associated with terms like porn, adult content, or NSFW. Its all about Verizon’s PR and branding. (so in that regard, maybe this wasn’t about the iOS ban. Though I bet they hated news reports that said “Tumblr was removed from…

I love the lack of awareness: “Damn Snowflakes get bent out of shape over PC bullshit and won’t play a song, so in response I get bent out of shape over anti-PC bullshit and boycott a radio station.” Even if the first group is as misguided as you say, how are your actions any different: over-reacting to the little…

Once Again, Tyreek Hill thanks his gods that in the NFL, if it isn’t caught on video and released to the public, it doesn’t really matter.

Scrubs IS beloved... and nobody cares what happened to the Scrubs gang.

They need to fire him before the weekend’s out, otherwise they are looking at a worse case scenario where Rodgers leads them to an improbable playoff berth and management feels like they have to keep McCarthy for taking them to the post-season.

I don’t understand how this is about the Warriors picking Durant’s side over Green’s. Maybe it is about Green being wrong to repeatedly, personally, excessively insulting his teammate and therefore deserving punishment. They punished him when he insulted Kerr, and Kerr wasn’t a free agent.

Letting Green or Durant go doesn’t free up a dime for new players under the salary cap. They can pay an existing star a ton or they can pay his replacements the minimum. Any money freed up can only go into the owners’ pockets. But the increased Franchise value that comes from being an all-time dynasty exceeds any…

But they weren’t giving them foodborne illnesses. The only two options aren’t Bleach and Salmonella. If there were real concerns, those can be addressed without helicopters.

Unlike in Florida, where the Republicans are fighting the recount effort, in Arizona, both parties seem to support counting all of the votes.
