Good. I dunno why the Army made such a muckityboo about her gender identity in the first place. She’s already in jail (where she belongs, to be sure); no need to make her a prisoner in someone else’s body, too. Pointlessly cruel.

Gonna need to conduct a formal experiment to be sure. 20-30 times each should yield a result.

Segment title: “Have you always wanted to look, feel, and act like that one gnarly overcooked Cheeto in the bag after it was possessed by the marauding spirit of George Lincoln Rockwell? We’ll show you how!”

Well, yeah, but wasn’t she born in SC or somesuch? Even MO is an upgrade over that progressivity-wise.

Cab driver both racist AND wrong. Shocker. Basically everyone within 50 miles of St. Louis, KC, or Columbia says “MissourEE” and the rest say “MissourAH.” Nothing to do with Yankee/Rebel nonsense. Politicians running for statewide office have long since learned to modulate between the two. Jay Nixon used both in one…

Mildly OT, but this reminds me of a conversation I had in a liquor store when I was at college in Wisconsin:

True, but it’s like the old thought experiment about the guy who jumps out a 30th-floor window but gets shot on his way down. The outcome was never in doubt, just who gets credit for it.

The “C” in paragraph headers doesn’t even stand for “classified.” It stands for “confidential.” Which is a classification level, true, but it’s the level we’d apply to the Queen of England’s favorite/favourite scone recipe if it was communicated to us officially. Higher levels are marked “S” or “TS” and you can…

You seem like you’d be fun at parties.

I’d say find a better word; personally, I’ve never met an actual cunt I didn’t like, and I don’t much care for them being associated with this transdimensional quasisentient rectal prolapse.

Since handing out death sentences for media organizations seems to be très de mode, maybe the guillotine can shorten Fox News next, seeing as they seem to have institutionally abetted major felonies and all.

Especially if your celebration consists of running out the clock in a sport that doesn’t actually allow that. Can’t just get a lead and then make your opponent chase you around the mat until the horn sounds.

Ryan Lochte (pictured) is wanted for questioning by Brazilian authorities.

He said he *saw* the record set, not that he set it, so I’m not seeing any kind of bragging beyond “I have racewalked and it is hellish far beyond its appearances.”

Seems like a misguided system wherein one brings to bear a colossal amount of willpower to avoid doing one thing in order to... I guess reduce the amount of willpower available to avoid doing another thing (viz. making very-likely-unwelcome advances toward women)?

22 and yes.

At least the Russians are more successful at fixing fights than they are backing US Presidential candidates.

In order: panic; lack of competence in the specialty and panic; no; not it does not.

Do what you want, Limey, y’all can’t even vote yourselves into oblivion properly, so your opinion counts for jack on this side of the pond.

Seeing as Gabby Douglas has reflected more credit on her country in the last 24 hours than most of us do in a lifetime... haters, as Kenneth would say, to the left.
