Because it’s far more expensive than life imprisonment. Because it doesn’t act as a deterrent and as such I see no justification for allowing the government to commit murder. Because no justice system is perfect and it’s bad enough that we end up locking people up who later turn out to be innocent but killing them…

I don’t know how this “Big 10 being ass this year” comment is still valid? Yes, maybe the divide between the “best teams” and the “middle class” teams is less than in years past, but that shouldnt take away from what Wisco, Michigan and Purdue have done. They have all won big time games, Wisconsin the largest to this…

Nice try, Roger, we all see you.

Really hard to watch any level of football now without constantly thinking about how all the participants are destroying their bodies and minds.

I really do appreciate all the advice, there’s such a wealth and breadth of knowledge here that I find it incredibly helpful. I also feel crazy that I’m so convinced that something else is wrong with her and her doctor keeps brushing it off.

You’ll be fine. BUT you might want to boycott us because we suck right now, and money talks. Deprive us of your tourist dollars!

Analogies aren’t your thing are they?

If I’m honest, it was a rough week. My beloved cat Chelsea passed away on Monday from cancer. While I’m glad she’s not in pain, my heart is still shattered. She really and truly was a hilarious, loving, cuddly pain in the butt and I miss her so much.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but are you white? And coming from a Western European country (or Aus, NZ)? If so, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Make sure you check TSA regulations for your flight home though. If you are any shade of brown and coming from Africa, Middle East, Central or South America? Canada…

What about those of us, who have Wisconsin winning it all?

Quick poll: Growing up in the age of Trump (with Betsey Devos as the person who decides your educational options) or being an adult in the age of Trump?

My mom has been delivering MoW every Saturday for the last 20 years. Honestly, until a few days ago, I had no idea it was even funded federally. She has made and lost so many friends doing this. Last night she went on a tirade about a special place in hell for whoever backs this. We live ten miles from Paul Ryan’s…

This was a fight that I lost so many times with my editors that I eventually quit journalism. You would not believe the number of times that reporters want to call a lie a lie, and editors walk it back because they’re scared of seeming like the reporter is “taking a side.” Telling the truth is not a demonstration of…

So now it’s a political statement to say that discriminatory laws are stupid?

Hey, Meals on Wheels isn’t political, either. But, you know, it’s 2017, and evidently feeding the elderly poor just isn’t a good investment anymore and anybody who says differently or advocates basic human decency is just being ‘political’ anymore.

Drunk rape victims do not give their permission to another to commit a crime, but people who ride with intoxicated drivers do.

So, fuck this guy then. He got all the love when he died, but he would clearly have been guilty of manslaughter had he lived. He killed two people.

If someone was gonna die from being drunk with power I really wish it would’ve been Trump.

As it happens, I live in one of the houses you likely passed on your drive in Rye.

I wish we would stop calling them “Entitlements”. That’s the republican word to brand the programs with shame. These are immensely popular social programs and “entitlements” stigmatizes and feeds to the notion they are leaching off our society instead of greatly benefiting it.
