If we're not going to worship the flag before sporting events, just when would you suggest we worship it?

"I don't know if the Eric Garner killing was unjustified, but the statistics say it wasn't. Only 2% to 8% of police-caused deaths are found to be unjustified killings."

"I don't know if Jameis Winston is guilty, but the statistics say he almost certainly is."

You've had experiences with them? Whence the passion?

"Perhaps the whole production cut too close to the bone, too close to the pain of Richard's past."

Truly remarkable that a grown man can put sentences together expressing the sentiment, "Justice is better than a lack of justice." Wow, boy.

As one of those "they", and as far from Christian or a Tebow fan as you can get, no, you misrepresent me. I never heard him align himself with any such thing, nor did I pay any attention to whatever he may or may not have been advocating. I have no idea whether his is a hateful Christianity or not. If I knew it would…

Still not sure if you know those vids are jokes. Very deadpan indeed.

Made me check Pat White's timeline for humor. Check. Pretty sure that tweet was a joke that you dissected for us; less sure if you thought it was a joke. Is it a joke or not? It's like one of those rocks in a stream that sort of wobbles but sort of holds you.

Hey man, sorry about the stupid insult. It was stupid.

Oh, yeah, she was lying, that seems obvious, but most of us would tell the same lie, given that one's spouse lies dead and you can't take back the fight that definitely occurred before he went mad on the highway. In that position, I wouldn't worry about the greater good, or any form of the good at all. I'd be wanting…

He's just so off-base, so ... just wrong, it's not even funny. LeBatard's NOT cool.

I can't wait to try it after all this, but I haven't made the time yet—I can't believe there's this fundamental cooking technique I haven't run across, I was being perfectly literal about that. I kind of feel like someone said, "You know you can marinate meat in liquids overnight and it actually absorbs flavor," and I…

"Makes you think you're having a good time!"

Course, given that he didn't write it, and some Anglo with writer's chops and all did, I'd say that I keep getting in weird conversations with you, probably because I butted in on a conversation I got interested in, but had nothing to do with. You may proceed to walk your path without further kibbitzing from me.

I think that sounds fair, and I'd rant about it too, in your shoes.

Given that his book is #6 in True Crime/Organized Crime/Memoirs at Amazon, I'd say that's a big 10-4.

Should they also do that on the hockey articles, if there are any...I think there are...because if I'm going to get those, they're going to need a heck of a lot of explanations!! Ha! Or should I just keep my no-life-too-much-time-on-my-idle-hands-fucking-ass out of their chats and leave them to it?

And if someone does, don't post it at your web site like it's normal to do.

I actually thought through that joke, and then, with a sickening clammy sensation in my brain, I got it.
