If you are ever tempted to go on a Duck, please please please please please pay attention to the weather report. The storm that capsized this boat had been forecasted for…

Everything about this tragedy is horrific and awful. My heart hurts for Tia and her nephew, and the rest of their extended family. I hope they can hold onto to one another and seek out a ton of counseling, because I imagine the survivor’s guilt they will likely feel will be an enormous burden. Also, I hope the company…

The boat should have never left the dock. They did not want to give refunds for the canceled trip. Not passing out life jackets was just being lazy. And stupid.

“Certainly, I’m sorry they were inconvenienced and anxious about what happened. That was not our intent,” Murphy said.”

Sometimes I wonder if the “blue” areas may be worse. Sure we all like to shit on rural folks and other red-necks but at the end of the day so many of these recent incidents are happening in places like Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Baltimore, the Twin Cities and other supposed “blue bastions.” Clayton, Missouri is one of…

Much like Christians (who are knocking it out of the park, of late) there are degrees of faith, modernity, different sects and interpretations of rules that exist within the larger framework of Islam.

This sucks, and maybe Ms. Ismaa-eel can contact CAIR and the ACLU for their thoughts on being asked to exit a pool due to religious garb.

If anyone reading this is a member of the Facebook group “couponing like a boss” run by Barbara Keske, you should know that she is scolding, silencing and banning WOC who are sharing this story and their own stories of how they have been affected by racial bias over the course of their couponing careers, citing her…

America is forgetful, period or we’d stop hearing about Papa John a long time ago, the first time he showed how fucking racist and stupid he was.

I have no idea if Colonel Sanders ever dropped the N-bomb. It would not surprise me at all if he did, though. Dude was a white guy in Kentucky that was born in 1890. But Papa John bitching that a guy who died in 1980 said the N-word and wasn’t crushed in public is peak white person.

No one is more smug (smugger?) than a geek citing source material.
