SLPD Party Organizer #1: “OK. We have $2,500.00 left in the budget for Fredbird and the Police Lives Matter sign. How much does Fredbird cost again?”
SLPD Party Organizer #2: “$2,499.97.”
SLPD Party Organizer #1: “Perfect.”

Fifth-year seniors? That’s awfully generous. They strike me as that weird guy who was a lifer, forever trying to get one more degree to make absolutely sure his future was secure.

I’d kill to have a wife argue things like that.

Well, now you know of at least one. Your life has changed immensely and you had no idea that was going to happen when you woke up, did you?

I think marriage sucks like many things suck, because of expectations. Whether it’s the fact that one or the other expects certain things to change, or as a matter of fact, expects certain things to not change. When you get married regardless of how you felt at the time before and during and some short time after,…

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but no one is entitled to their own facts.

Twice?

counterpoint - I’m a conservative and have the intellectual wherewithal to understand that anyone who denies climate change is a soulless lackey, has been living under a rock and therefore unfamiliar with the term, and/or a god damn idiot.

McNally and Jastremski are the two minor characters in a Shakespeare play. Judging from their very entertaining texts, they’re the clowns that provide comic relief. They are almost too perfect in the roles they play.

I think the issue is that you’re buying into the idea that Messi is this sweet little darling (and therefore a better teammate on the pitch) and that Ronaldo is awful and evil and therefore a shitty teammate on the pitch, when there’s really no evidence to suggest so further than the fact that Ronaldo acts like a…

Goodell: Ignorance is not an excuse

And just like that, with one public statement that’s chock full of high-school level drama and utterly devoid of anything of substance, the NFL guarantees another week (at least) dominating the sports news cycle. In the middle of their offseason. Over something of no consequence whatsoever.

I’ve come around a bit on this. There’s plenty of contempt to be had for the way Goodell hands down punishment like Zeus sneezing out lightning bolts, but the crime here really is the refusal to cooperate. The NFL basically laid down its pitchforks to keep this Super Bowl from becoming an asterisk for the Patriots. Is…

Brady and Kraft are like the Alfred Dreyfuss and Rubin Carter of our era.

I heard you the first time...just sayin’

^^ This. It’s the tampering with the balls AFTER they were checked, plus the intelligence-insulting denials that got Goodell’s panties in such a twist. Also Brady’ fake ignorance us insulting to the league when he drove (with Manning) the creation of the current process. Something tells me he pushed for even more…

That stuff about the missile fired from the Pentagon is dumb, but the stuff about the towers falling due to jet fuel that couldn’t possibly melt steel is more interesting and raises significant questions. Too bad the media is going to focus on the whole “USA PERPETRATES TERRORIST ATTACK ON SELF YEAH RIGHT”

I agree, I would bet money that Wiggins is going to be good. In fact, I was super excited when we drafted him and had some trepidation when the trade thing was happening.

It's a matter of record that the Clinton admin had Al Qaeda in its sights, particularly after the Cole bombing. Richard Clarke, National Security consultant to three administrations specifically did a detailed "turn-over" to Condy Rice in the early days of the Bush administration on Al Qaeda calling them an imminent…
