I think it’s highly optimistic to think this is going anywhere. As a former defense attorney, convincing a jury that the tweet was puffery doesn’t seem like a very high bar. Trump is trying to make himself look good for firing Flynn. Trump always lies when he’s trying to make himself look good. This is something every…

I’d be surprised if he said he’s something other than straight.

Anne Helen Peterson is not the average Buzzfeed writer. Buzzfeed actually has a few people on staff who produce solid work — analysis and reporting. Dismissing the work because it’s on Buzzfeed is actually pretty stupid in this context. Perhaps you’d take it more seriously if it were written by a white guy and…

The author has a PhD from UT. The piece is quite harsh towards Hammer, but it’s not really about him as much as the entertainment industry’s continuing insistence on and methods for trying to create a fresh generation of straight white male Movie Stars despite the audience’s stubborn disinterest in such creatures.

I thought Bobby’s headline not only made it clear she’s not dead, but softened the blow with a funny.

I would never look forward to having Justin Timberlake for breakfast.

Oh, hell no, I will not let you rewrite history like that. Al Franken is no fucking Wellstone. Paul Wellstone spent 20 years living, working and doing community organizing in Minnesota before he was elected to the Senate. Franken moved away from MN as soon as he graduated high school and spent 30+ years working in…

I have an enduring fantasy about whispering in his ear “Lord Mountbatten was a legitimate target.”

“Prove yourself a ruthless asshole” has apparently been on the weekend/night To-do List for awhile now. I don’t really understand it, I just know from long observation that no one gets punished for it.

An inordinate amount of people are attracted to massage therapy because of sexual interest...Just like there was opportunity in the priesthood, there’s opportunity in the massage room.

I’d forgotten how beautifully we shat on your coronation, on account of the whole miserable last 6 weeks of football. Thanks for the reminder!

I just want a goat to knock her over and hear Mark Schrayber’s take on the veracity of the incident.

I say we take the high road. I recognize that it may not be the most politically advantageous move,

Also, it’s not like the DFL was moribund, and the only thing that saved it was the star power of Al Franken. They’ve got a good bench, and an active base. This is an excellent opportunity to promote one of their promising younger pols. We don’t need Al Franken. We don’t owe Al Franken.

I don’t. They’re just overcompensating for the ones that got away. The predators know this. It doesn’t scare them.

Is Splinter trolling her by refusing to edit her? This piece needs help.

Dude, it involves a left turn in Iowa. #Respect

All lies. You did it for Shakespeare’s Pizza.

Always loved him as an actor, but he didn’t make me flutter in the loins until RocknRolla. Then I wanted to send a thank you note to whoever designed his hairpiece.
