I grew up in a small midwestern town, right wing Christian area, mainstream religious family. We were instilled with a lot of prejudice, including against homosexuals (deviants, recruiting you to convert, choice) and I believed it. Even our teachers would use derogatory terms for homosexuals. Then I went to college…

Its stuff like this that initially led me away from the Republican party. Who I can marry, whether or not I can smoke pot, ability to allow (or disallow) what my kids should watch on TV, etc. are all the “small government” GOP using BIG GUBMIT to do its bidding on behalf of the religious right. They’re all for limited…

Fake Christians only have one use for a bible and that is to beat other people over the head with it.  

Republican freedom to discriminate against LGBTQ

It always strikes me funny that these laws are always framed as “restoring freedom”. What freedom? Your freedom to stick your nose into someone else’s business and tell them how to live their life? Because on the face of it you’re taking away freedom from a very specific group of people to get conservative Christians…

Dick announcing me walking out of my front door to walk to the mailbox to grab the mail is better than anyone calling a walk-off home run, hail-Mary to the end zone, or any other thing you could think of that isn’t called by Dick Enberg.

Good night, sweet prince.

Ooooof, this hurts. One of the most dependable voices in broadcasting, and one of those guys who was so good at this job that it was both about and not about him. He was never one to draw attention to himself intentionally, but he was so distinctive and good at what he did that he drew attention anyway.

But let’s enjoy…

This is the same face I made as a 12 year old when I thought I was making a real good zinger to my parents.

This is the face of a man hoping it was just a fart.

That is the face of a man who has just ordered Derek Jeter a gift basket.

God damn, he’s a gorgeous beast and I love him.

I haven’t even heard him talk recently. Just look at that man!

Not gonna lie, Grit Rick Rubio is currently the most attractive player in the NBA, and we should be ashamed for not noticing him sooner.

I grew up in a county in Alabama which had/has the most churches per capital in the state. I was a fundamentalist evangelical Christian as a teen, surely a tedious bore even to my religious classmates, and a general pain in the ass to everyone around me. I policed the actions of my entire family, and my only friends…

Fuck him a thousand times for the Obamacare thing. We’re all perfectly happy to pay an extra nickel to make sure the delivery guy doesn’t die of cancer tomorrow, and also maybe stop buying Superbowl ads to advertise that you’re giving away free pizza if you’re gonna whine about margins.

Thin crust - Aurelio’s

I hadn’t gotten Papa John’s in a while prior to that but after his comments about it I decided I’d never order from there again. He is a garbage human being who shames the rest of humanity by being the same fucking species as the rest of us.
