For about 20 seconds I thought a white guy wrote this, and I was about to suggest that the Smithsonian request those balls to keep in the permanent collection

See that steam kids? The elders called it the Hotness

Agreed they’re stacked with talent, but how that translates to production all depends on the coaching. The challenge is keeping these guys motivated when the other side of the team is constantly letting them down so hard. Extra snaps add up, and if the Vets aren’t withstanding it the cracks will start to spread out.…

I ran the numbers, it turns out the ancillary nature of the second-tier drug reference makes it passable pseudo cryptography for post-clever band branding. It’s within the .o12% misfired anti-irony threshold, but it’s legit.

Exactly. We can give the rich people crap because they had incredible leverage in this scenario, they had every opportunity to avoid this, and will likely take this fight right into the ground. When someone on foodstamps forgets to pay bills, they don’t see the same opportunities for redress. Rich people aren’t…

Nah, it’s way less complex than that. Wealthy people in bubbles being taken advantage of is always fodder for comedy, even when it’s by other wealthy people. If rich people would focus on only screwing over other rich people, I think we’d solve the whole problem.

I would try not arguing at all. the manufactured divide in this country is about focusing on tiny wedge issues rather than the vast swaths of common ground we share. I’d start with finding that common ground, say something like “it sounds like you’re fed up with presidents and powerful people abusing their station…

Of course business has a soul. You just argue that it’s a singular thirst for profit. I would argue that there’s a deeper mechanism to that profit, when you negate marketing, that verges on morality. Products must improve the world in some way or they will not succeed. So the reception of those products as…

Without knowing more about the jobs cut, or the jobs added, arguments on the merits or lack thereof are empty. If you believe his business-speak that it’s not a financial decision, it’s your choice, but it sounds pretty hollow. It’s a limited business in a dying industry, every decision is financial. And the fact…

Where in Baquet’s words did you infer that the positions were superfluous? I can see how you might assume that, but it doesn’t look to be the case. I have yet to hear the argument made, in the past few years, that a great problem of our times is that we just have too much accurate information. Investigative reporting…

You’re absolutely right about his obligation to offer.

what’s the right message?

I had a college buddy who could do algebra in a blackout. Maybe just do the math on how many drinks you had?

umm... Secret of Mana anybody??

And then it would be “Liberals’” fault for poisoning the efforts by spreading their hate and fake news about this poor, victimized man. There’s a human megaphone millions strong waiting to rage retweet anything that demeans anything vaguely non-republican, so I suspect they could play this game of Cosby being the…

Ice Lightning, with killer bees frozen in the ice, so that when it hits you and melts the bees are released, and they come for blood. Oh and the bees also have Ebola.

at *this* point?

I rewatch it every couple of years, such a good one. Top 20 of all time. Fight me.

John Murphy is a Boss

I don’t get it.
