But in 2015, the prior FCC bowed to pressure from President Obama. On a party-line vote, it imposed heavy-handed, utility-style regulations upon the Internet.

Is this the new “he knew what he signed up for?”

Sorry, that’s incorrect. Bourbon is determined by recipe [at least 51% corn, aged in newly charred barrels, maximum ABV going into the cask and bottle, &c.], not geography, except that it has to be made in America.

What a great history lesson!

My attack animal: Scorpion-bat. Take a scorpion and give it bat’s wings. That bastard can attack from both ends and bring the aerial assault, too. 

Once I got to editor, I challenged the reporters to not use it. Some of them adjusted well, though there were a couple who had already been so ingrained with using it that they actually fought back.

Oh, same here. I’ve seen editors insist on shoehorning “allegedly” into stories with that rationale. Just lazy and dumb.

“Allegedly” is a bullshit word. I worked in journalism for a bit, too, and I took the attitude that your professor had: Tell the reader who alleged what. Put the burden where it belongs, whether it’s on the cops or a store owner who told the cops what they saw. “Allegedly” is a passive, cowardly way to take that

Fucking A, Marchman, I am with you on absconding with the Reese’s full-sized peanut butter cups. Troof!

Finally, Drew! Someone else who shares a hall pass fantasy about Laetitia Casta! We’re like hall pass fantasy Eskimo brothers!

I say, when these people can guarantee that every spectator in a stadium is standing for the anthem — not standing in line for beer or going to the bathroom — only then can they dictate what the players do.

Anyone saying hockey shouldn’t be political clearly has never seen USA vs USSR in the 1980 Olympics.

Mike Tomlin is a traditionalist and clearly knows that having teams present for the anthem only started a few years back. So, he’s going back to the NFL’s earlier practice.

Worst part is, this press corps asshole will use this situation as leverage when he’s begging for a scoop: “Remember the time I set you up for that slam-dunk on ESPN?”

The clock-looking thing might be the expiration stamp for a car seat, like the one of the right.

Thing is, I hear SO much noise that McGregor can’t win that, well... I kinda start to wonder. I mean, can he get inside Mayweather’s range and pummel him?

It can’t REALLY be that easy to call Mayweather-McGregor for Mayweather, can it?
