No, it isn’t. It is duplicitous stupidity. Perhaps we should consider quarantining the city of Cincinnati, since that is where Charles Manson was born. This woman’s death has absolutely zero logical relation to any sane discussion of immigration. Suggesting that is does reflects either idiocy or racism. Which is it?

I was in northern Indiana this summer (and NOT the part that is Gary) and saw some doofus with a confederate flag decorated truck. I had a visceral sense of shock, and realized that you just do not see that sort of thing back home in Carolina anymore because even the dumbest southern white boy has learned that is just…

Not to be one to pick nits with a joke, but have you ever been to the south? The place where 55% of black Americans live? Where lots of those folks are rural? Plenty of black people own pickup trucks.

It won’t go back up. The university is glad it is gone. They could have stopped this from happening very easily, and they didn’t. My daughter, who is much more tuned in of course to what goes on around town, told me at supper “I knew that was going to happen since last week. Everybody knew they were planning it. There…

“He’s not a dude. You are a dude. He is a man. A handsome, muscular man.”

Man, those don’t even look like house shoes. They look like those orthopedic things you wear when your ankle got crushed and now the cast is off but the swelling and the hardware make any kind of real shoes impossible. Maybe they are a sentimental momento from his last stay in the hospital.

The bigger problem is that Trump’s “policies” are incoherent, self contradictory, and characteristic of a guy who has no idea what he is doing BUT THINKS HE DOES. Tariffs are one sort of tool the government can use to influence the economy. Trump is deploying them without even a basic understanding of the facts. He is…

Or you could just not watch it, since it is the most harmless thing ever. 

Whatever else you think of him,(and I think a lot of him), Sir Paul is one of the fittest looking dudes his age around. Makes me want to either go vegetarian, or smoke a lot of weed. Maybe both, to be on the safe side.

I believe this would fall under the “fighting words” doctrine. Language that is clearly meant to be personally abusive to a degree that would cause a normal to become violently enraged is not protected by the first amendment and is essentially the same as assault. I’d say the chance of anybody being charged with…

That would be wrongly.

Remembered by who?

That is a poor definition. An anti-hero is a character who behaves in ways that are ethically or morally wrong by conventional standards but who is ultimately meant to be perceived sympathetically by the audience, causing them to question conventional values. Your dictionary definition implies that any time the bad…

Depends on how demented they are, and whether they have been declared legally incompetent and assigned guardians. People who have been declared incompetent because of mental impairment are legally treated as children and do not have the same rights as adults to free movement. Even demented people without guardians,…

No matter how many times I watch this the horror never lessens. Uncaniest thing I’ve ever seen. I can’t imagine this ending any other way than Christopher Robin trying to tear his own eyes out.

Maybe it is because these characters look so much like objects that I might see in real life and know to be non alive. Paddington doesn’t bother be at all, but I swear this movie looks like the scariest Twilight Zone of all time to me.

The trailer for Christopher Robin has finally given me insight into the “uncanny valley”. Seeing those obviously non-living stuffed animals moving around and talking and interacting with a live action world gives me the creeps so bad I nearly felt sick watching it in a theater. It actually felt frightening to me the…

Counterpoint: Spike Lee is the American Werner Herzog and one of the most important American artists of the past fifty years.

Not really. Spotify is a giant, on demand, subscription, record store. Once upon a time there were record stores. Even really big ones. I used to fantasize about owning one. If I had, would I have stocked product by an artist whose every act and utterance was morally objectionable? Nope. Spotify has a huge catalog,…

My second worst nightmare is where I’m falling out of an airplane, I’m naked, and I’m covered with ants.
