Call me crazy, but if unions were the answer to all life’s woes, wouldn’t they be growing like wildfire rather than slowly vanishing? Wouldn’t union strongholds like Detroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo be booming?

You seem very confused.

Maslow’s Hammer at work!

I don’t know really see how your argument/example work to show the 5th amendment connection.* I mean, why do you need a warrant to open a safe? It’s got absolutely nothing to do with the 5th amendment and everything to do with the 4th. If you have a compelling reason to open it and, therefore, get a warrant, and you…

+1 right to remain silent.

Imagine how many phone calls that dude makes every month, then imagine having to go through each of them and determining what the number…

Ah, the constant refrain of the fan intoxicated by New Coach Smell . . . never gets old watching that shine dimmed by a loss to Kansas!

Bruh. KILLS me!

I’m forty-fucking-one and just saw the “O Captain, My Captain” scene on TNT a few days ago . . . cried like the bitch that I am!

Yeah? It was the first movie I ever saw with my (then) three year-old son in the theater . . .

Just reading those five words, in that order . . . it’s gettin’ real dusty in here!

I posted this about Arrival yesterday on an io9 thread about Contact:

Mansplaining? I’m a man, and I’m explaining something to you that you COMPLETELY mistook as something else. I guess if that’s “mansplaining,” guilty as charged. Absolutely nothing about my post would be different if I were a woman, but whatever.
