Not only is it flying over the South Carolina state house today, it’s at full mast, while the state and American flag are at half mast. So it’s flying above the Stars and Stripes. that’s wrong on so many levels.

Somber silliness is part of what made this show a Whole Thing last year, sure, but only a part, a third at best, and the other two pieces of the Triforce—Matthew McConaughey’s superhuman ability to make goofball nihilism sing and a credulous, super-jazzed online mob vying to conspiracy-theorize the whole shebang to…

I’m with you on this!

They are both cool heroes.

As a mentally ill person I want to bake this woman an amazing cake. This man is not mentally ill, and that would just be a way for Fox and even progressive outlets to ignore the changes and evolution that has occurred in American racism.

I don’t think anyone would have objected to LeBron getting the MVP nod. He’s the best player in the series, and did pretty much everything he could. Overall, I think people just get too worked up about just what “most valuable” is supposed to mean and who’s supposed to get it. I kind of view it as the NBA’s version of…

I’m not saying LeBron doesn’t deserve it (he should get it IMO, he worked past graveyard shit and Smithy was pretty useless), but even if Iggy Dolly (there ya go) wasn’t able to stop LeBron at Lebroning (ick), he did do another thing, and that’s to help out and eventually win it when it is time to do so.

I understand what the words literally mean (though reasonable people can argue about the meaning of valuable). However, consider the goddamned context - it’s awarded at the end of the series, immediately after the game, at the same time as the championship trophy. I think it makes sense to give it to a winning player,…

I’ve debated with people that Kerry Wood’s 20K game was most likely one of the best pitched games of all-time (game score of 105, the current 9-inning record), and some say any perfect game is better because Wood allowed 2 baserunners (1 questionable hit/error and 1 HBP). A perfect game is indeed pretty excellent, but…

This is really different though, cause simmons seemed to be a decent boss, and it really I would rather read simmons 100 times more than having to read whitlock.

Re: Strangeronfire’s comment: Look closer at the next paragraph down from the one you cite in that WaPo article. He’s not saying Rachel was masquerading as black when she attended Howard, he’s saying (using some awkward phrasing) that Howard accepted her as she was, i.e., white.

It’s just mental illness! She can’t help it!!

(Interestingly enough, Eartha Kitt’s daughter is mixed and could easily pass for white)

I wish I could say that I’m surprised by the amount of people defending her but I can’t. White women can pretty much get away with anything. Must be nice. *waits for angry white female commentators to complain*

She wrote a lot about “black families like [hers]” for her local paper/blog

Dolezal graduated from Howard with her Masters in Fine Art in 2002

Here’s a pic of her at Howard, she’s top left.

Does this mean the Knicks might finally have a chance at an NBA Championship this year?
