James Harden was on the wrong side of two questionable foul calls? How sad.

*someone else’s crab legs.

Don’t act like “gingy” or “ginger” is some sort of slur. It isn’t, and you know it.

Learn how to use the word “literally”

As someone whose son was murdered - I can tell you why. Because until you get to the point in your head or you are willing to accept the true facts of what happened, you will hold on desperately to a false villain, so long as it fits the only narrative that your brain has let you believe.

Grief. Denial. Pain. A search for closure.

It’s a shame that class was scheduled before “How to read an article 101".

In my Mass Media Law class in college, I was taught that “allegedly” is a weak protection, and it’s safer to carefully source allegations and not use that word.

He should have said “slaves running the plantation,” but that only applies to college athletics.

That’s not even the expression. The expression is that you don’t want the inmates running the asylum, which is offensive in a far more subtle way that probably wouldn’t have bothered anybody. The fact that he had to change the expression to make turn the players who are protesting (among other things) racial profiling…

What kind of God lets Bill O’Reilly happen to good people?

This. The complicated part is arriving at what your taxable income is, not finding that taxable income on a chart and figuring out how much you pay. The scary part is that so many people have very little understanding of how taxes actually work. The most glaring is how many people don’t understand the progressive tax…

The bracket simplification argument really burns me. We could go to 10,000 brackets and the computer I’m typing this on could probably compute every US taxpayer’s income tax in about 4 days, maybe 4 hours.

But NOOOO: “Reduce the number of brackets, THAT’S what makes the tax code so complex!” Lying liars with pants on…

Correct re: brackets. You can have two brackets or 200 brackets. Doesn’t matter since it’s just a matter of looking up your income and finding it on the chart. So it takes six seconds longer to find your bracket among the 199 others. It makes no difference in “simplifying” the tax code. Wanna simplify? Every dollar…

Making this about troops and the flag is like telling an author that he’s wrong about what his book is about.

Wonder if decent mental health treatment would’ve made a difference in Wayne LaPierre’s life? Which might have led to sparing the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Yes. The problem is, and I think he’s being consistent, is that now people are trying to fix the barn door after the horses have come home.

It is not false. Congress does not expect to act on an aid package for Puerto Rico for a few weeks, at best, a rate far slower than their actions for the mainland. That is a documented fact, widely reported over the past two days. There are some variables in that delay that are unavoidable, but it is a FACT. See this…

In 2009 the NFL started receiving millions of dollars from the US Military in exchange for constantly staging patriotic displays and promoting the military. That is when they started having the teams come out for the anthem. Plenty of fans still spend the anthem buying beers or using the bathroom. The fact that the…

I could’ve made this comment on any of these articles but this one is fresh so I’m going to leave it here: I was in the band for five years at Alabama. We played the National Anthem during pregame. Do you know where both teams were when we were doing so? In the locker room getting ready for the game. Not even on the…
