This seems very much like a bad faith argument from Wilde. 

What irks me is the absolute and total disrespect for a police officer who, instead of being home with family and enjoying a meal and a football game, is patrolling his little town...”

You know who is sabatoging Bernie?

Or utilizing party resources only when you want to and not paying dues...you’d think a guy who loves unions would get that.

Another close Obama friend said, ‘Bernie’s not a Democrat.’

Veidt would have known that his ruse would eventually be figured out by the govt investigating the squid attack, and the only way to truly make the world change would be for everyone to continue to believe it was real. The video itself isn’t the surprising thing here, it’s that they would show this video to members of

I don’t have time for this. This has long since passed being about what a C-list actor may or may not have done, and more about the fact that the real people in power are using this to try and placate their white supremacist power structure.  I don’t trust anyone’s motivations in this.  Eddie Johnson’s ass is gone

Chicago law enforcement’s reaction to Smollett’s alleged infraction is ridiculously disproportionate and outrageously selective.

We also don’t get Anne’s attempted kidnapping so they seem to be skipping those types of events sadly.

I’m conflicted about this episode. It was frustrating because Charles clearly lacks a respect for or an appreciation of the difficulty of wearing the crown, and his rebelling against his mother came off as more childish than thoughtful, but on the other hand, Elizabeth is doing nothing to share her burden with Charles

There’s the constant sense that things are happening because they have to, not because of an actual organic plot development.

Warren did not apply for school on a Native American scholarship.

G damn right, sir. Also, who can I talk to about changing our voting system so people can rank their top candidates, or just choose their top three, so that the least objectionable candidate gets the nod rather than the one with the most rabid base?

People still act like the MLBPA is the same as it once was.  It USED to be this shining example for why having a strong union is important.  But it has turned to shit and Tony Clark has continued to run it into the ground.

There used to be this website called “Deadspin” (it was pretty good!) that did what I still consider to be the definitive take-down of Whitlock. It was biting and they had ALL the receipts:

Michael I insist that you do a column comparing the cooning talents of Stephen A and the original shuck & jive artist himself Jason Whitlock. I mean Whitlock is a hall of fame House Negro but Stephen is quickly moving up to his level. In fact he reminds me of another Stephen portrayed so brilliantly by Samuel L.

I took his comment to mean that he’s an idiot.

In an episode featuring giant squids dropped on New York, consumer cloning, pills that contain memories, and a rescue SOS being created on one of Jupiter’s moons with clone bodies, a freshman U.S. Senator whining about being given a seat on the Appropriations Committee was by far the hardest thing to believe.

I don’t think their talent levels should factor Into whether we remember and note who the first black players in the NFL, NBA, etc. I mean, Willie O’Ree was the first black player in the NHL but his stats are definitely nothing to write home about compared to other black players like P.K. Subban who have come since.
