Deep Massachusetts is a terrifying place. The people from the red ring around Boston (i.e. 128 and west until Amherst) are about as shitty and provincial as you'll find north of the Mason-Dixon.

He got all nasallier-than-thou on us.

Make all the jokes you want, but the part where he starts to sing "were so gallantly streaming" for a second time, and realizes a split second beforehand that he's already sung that lyric, is an all-time classic. What a fucking turd.

What an absolute class act. He couldn't have handled the situation any better. You really gotta hand it to Evan Meek for grooving that pitch in to Jeter.

You should team up with the Penn State folks who argue long and loud about how horribly unfair Joe Paterno was treated after he knew one of his closest staff members was raping children.. You guys have a lot in common.

I'm with you. I've been a Raven's fan from the beginning, but I couldn't even bring myself to watch the game yesterday because this whole thing is just so sick. I'd much rather lose without him than win with him at this point.

Additionally, they found *fragments* of *a* bullet they think *might* be a .357 Magnum, but…

excellent article PG. Police don't need to take the place of the National Guard. And the National Guard should be deployed to keep these trigger happy cops apart from the populace and press.

must not throw up.

There's a saying in the US about laying off people.

There's nothing remotely dangerous or criminal about driving 80mph.

It does sound like some bizarro kind of man-hygiene thing, doesn't it?

The plane was flying from west to east, or entering contested/Russian airspace from Ukrainian space. It would have been much more difficult for a Ukrainian battery to make this mistake than a rebel or Russian battery.

Theory #3: It was a frame-up made to look like Russian or Pro-Russian forces did it in order to erode their political power. Unlike covers86 I don't consider this to be too crazy. The fact that I don't consider it crazy is crazy to me.

The look of bratwurst on everyone's face is just heartbreaking.
