Of all the shitty things I’ve read in the media about KD the claim that he’s friends with Kyrie Irving is by far the worst.

Staying home when it’s nearly zero is soft, but letting an imaginary skydaddy make political decisions for you is smart. Bevins is an imbecile on so many levels.

I’ve always seen Christie pretty much as Jabba the Hutt with a law degree. The idea that he’s going to revive his credibility in national politics by appearing superior to the idiots in an administration that he basically sold his soul to become part of— well, fuck Chris Christie.

Fred Astaire would be proud of that footwork. Or maybe Ginger Rogers, since he was doing it all going backwards.

In Dallas she’ll probably be allowed to return to active duty while her suspended sentence/probation is negotiated. Her defense will be “I feared for my life because there was a black man in an apartment I thought was mine”.

How come when the rewards of a growing economy get funneled into fewer and fewer hands it’s called “promoting growth” but when there’s an effort to move some of those rewards in the other direction, where they’re most needed, it’s called “redistribution” and “radical socialism”? Oh, wait— could it be that poor people…

That kind of dead Ball foul is uncalled for.

If I’m Rondo, right now I’m praying to the basketball gods that I’m still in LA when this trade gets done.

This is SO good. I suspect his friendship with my namesake did not enhance his survival prospects. 

See also ‘the Catholic church’.

Also, nothing says “America First” while promoting regime change in a sovereign nation because John Bolton wants their oil, and can’t get support for his obsession with invading Iran.

My dad was an actual Bible scholar who specialized in people like Charles Williams and C. S. Lewis. He got into the linguistic aspect of it after being ordained as an Anglican priest at age 60. He was particularly focussed on the early history regarding the conflict between the  hierarchical church with its structure…

Or “suck it up and suffer meekly in this life, because we promise the next one will be lots better”.

Let’s also not forget how most of the Bible translations/edits were done under the auspices of institutions whose primary concern was upholding their own legitimacy and supremacy, not just in spiritual matters but in politics  and economics. Any “Christians” who don’t understand just how radical Jesus’ teachings were…

I love when Our President wants to make policy proposals that combine two subjects about which he knows absolutely nothing.

All the new jobs will be part-time without benefits AND we’ll have to drink badly-roasted, overpriced coffee.

Jimmy James and The Vagabonds do a great version as well.

On the other hand it’s harder to imagine anything cooler than inventing rock’n’roll.

I can see him stealing money from his sick grandma’s purse in order to pay somebody else to make that happen.

I live in Louisiana as well, and all the centrist Democrats I know are either in hiding or looking to move.
