I read this abbreviation as Fred Van Vundy and refuse to correct myself.

Sadly, although I am a little surprised to hear that, I am fairly confident that I could guess the places where that is true. Looking at you, Alabama.

I’d actually be shocked if any judges did that. Even before he was president, Obama was kind of a rock star in the Constitutional Law community so I would be surprised if any judges were mocking him on the record. The Trump presidency is a very unique (and cruel) joke on America.

“Judge Kwan contends that this was intended to be funny, not rude. It is an immutable and universal rule that judges are not as funny as they think they are.”

I didn’t realize they made more than one of him. Badambum crash! Tip your waiters folks, I’ll be here all weekend.

Ha! And then Baylor will hire Ken Starr as president! Oh, wait...

I am firmly convinced now that men are not fully “adults” until after their first long term significant relationship.

I’ve never understood why it was so hard for put up like an entire exhibition on McGwire and Sosa et al but not put them in the Really Good and True Baseball Men section of the Hall of Fame. Which is also the most boring section of the Hall of Fame.

One thing that I always blows my mind is how so many shitty libertarian types assume that there is some mythical, fucking D&D “do you choose to enter into a contract?” Call To Adventure aspect of getting a job. They treat everyone’s negotiating power for crappy jobs with the same urgency that they felt while 16 and…

Fox News and their adherents believe in a CAPITALISTIC democracy wherein having money means you deserved to be given it and therefore are a great American. That is all that matters. It doesn’t matter how you got that money as long as you make all the right middle American genuflections. 

It’s also funny because that’s what he wanted; he wanted to provoke a violent outburst because he thought would be good for business. Is it turns out, being a racist idiot is not good for business.

That whole Reagan savior thing is seriously fucking stupid. You could make a solid argument that France was more directly responsible for American independence than the US was for German reunification. I don’t think hear a lot of American politicians making that argument however.

And yet, somehow, she’s not even the most evil member of her own family. At least she isn’t trying to send a private army into a foreign country with American funding.

In the hyper-capitalistic system that she craves, more “individual freedom” means you can do anything you want if you can pay for it. I do not think this type of freedom is going to break down the walls between wealthy and poor school children. Which is the point, of course.

Move your mouse over the kinja handle and the link to their page will appear (like with Twitter where one’s handle can be anything but one’s account name is unchangeable). This dude’s misspelled. I noticed some asshole doing the same thing a couple of days ago with Dr. Emilio Lizzaro on a gun control thread. It’s…

Yeah, somewhat because of how much offense some people take to being called racist or sexist (usually the larger the offense taken, the closer to the nerve it strikes) many people treat that as being pregnant; that you either are or are not sexist. It’s much more of a gradient and ignoring one’s own sexist or racism…

A good question to ask him is how he feels about Bernie. That will tell you a lot.

I was just about to ask the same question. She’s been lumped in with Reps. Omar and Tlaib by way more people than I was expecting as “silly, inexperienced, flaky, non-serious, crazy, extreme, etc.” without any substantive evidence. I’m sure there are (and if not yet will be soon) more in-depth explorations of the…

Cool is not the word I would use to describe Zdeno Chára smiling. Ominous? Terrifying? A harbinger of eminent doom? Those work better.

I would have gone Toots on him.
