I taught a class he was in while I was in grad school. He wanted me to call him “Sir.” I called him “F.”

The pomp and circumstance is necessary to distract you from the fact that you are watching people kill each other.

Fits right in with the military branding.

I’ve always had a fantasy where they bring out the family and kids, and when they say turn around or Let’s welcome home Corporal Marine Todd, the family turns around overjoyed and then they wheel out a casket with the flag draped over it.

Oh right, the ole “I played rugby argument”. I guess concussions aren’t real! Thanks for clarifying that for me.

And this asshole gets out of the greys.

Eh, I don’t think you can really compare abortion (which by being made safe, accessible and legal has saved women’s lives) with a billion dollar corporation that has done nothing to improve the safety of their employees or in any real way support them when their brains are deteriorating and the money from their paying…

I don’t much like football. There are plenty of reasons I can rattle off: The contrived militarization; the obscenity of watching young men ruin themselves running headlong into each other; the NFL’s refusal to adequately protect its players or even acknowledge the sport’s lasting hazards in pursuit of profit; the…

While I can kinda see why people would think it's in poor taste, I'm not sure a boycott…

Ah, the joy of being geographically required to be a Rockies fan. Top 10 in attendance, just above bottom 10 in salary, and almost surely headed for irrelevance by July once again.
