Protip: No socialist paradise will ever exist until humanity transcends greed and selfishness, because when decision making is centralized to the degree it would need to be to run a centralized economy, tyrants will always emerge.

Someone should ask him about those comments. Who knows, maybe some of the things that have happened over the last few years have caused him to rethink some things. He certainly looks like he's a whole lot more thoughtful about things than he has been in the past.

Hollywood is going to do a Shaft reboot and make the main character a female?

But it's still not enough to make up for Grown Ups 2. In order to make up for a travesty of that scale, he'll probably have to come with, at the very least, a solution to our country's racial ills, and you could probably make the argument that he should be required to end global poverty and bring about world peace.

Especially when all the roles for older black women in Hollywood go to are so awful that they should be played by jackasses like Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, or Tyler Perry.

My wife mentioned this song to me awhile ago and I pulled a Ryan Gosling feminist meme maneuver and said "I don't like that song, because it still implies that women need to be considered beautiful by society to have value".

I'm not sure I agree that we are devolving. Police and/or other power figures practicing violence against minorities has always been there.

Nonsense. Those people can trust you because hey, what more can you do to them?

Did I miss the whole "We admit that we did something wrong and want the people responsible for those things to suffer the appropriate consequences of their wrongdoings" part of this deal?

Sorry, 90s kids, but putting them on the right path is more important than nostalgia.

Right? You kill someone in that brutal a fashion, it should be a drive-by with an uzi. Not a tearful goodbye and a poetic shot through the heart into a bed of flowers.

What I'll miss is Katy Sagal playing as Gemma. If you took took Gemma's character out of the show and just listed out the things she had done and then told me that she died the way she did last night, I'd say that person was a schizophrenic, because no one who did all those awful things would die like that.

At lunch I was with a few co-workers, who of course lamented the horror of Black Friday, sneaking in very snide remarks about all the poor black people they saw trying to kill each other on various videos.

Honestly we just picked the song we picked ("You are So Beautiful") because

It shouldn't, but it will. I'm not saying it should be pointed out. I'm saying that it is a fact and that it will be used by Cosby's apologists. I'm acknowledging the reality, not condoning it.

Okay, let me clarify. I was talking about artists who actually get asked that question. I'm assuming that most people don't ask the 99% of you that don't do it for the money.

When you're in Texas look behind you ...

Would it really be so bad if one of these artists just said what we all know they are thinking when they get asked the questions about inspiration and "why" they do what they do?

So fucking what? Ummm, my point was that unfortunately because the label has been shown to be accurate at other times with Dickinson, it will wind up mattering that Janice Dickinson is an attention seeker, even though my assumption is that her claims are true. It's more ammunition for the assholes trying to preserve…

Well, in this case, it's an accurate label. It's unfortunate in about eleventy billion ways and my assumption is that she was in fact assaulted by this asshole so it shouldn't matter, but there are lots of other facts about Dickinson that are consistent with the label.
