LeGuin shout! I thought Larry Summers settled the debate on this....fucking asshat.

I usually find Jezebel one of the more interesting of the gawker family sites. This post (not your comment, the post) is....not interesting.

It's the advertiser's obligation to peddle bullshit and make people want things they don't need. It's a morally bankrupt profession.

In other unsurprising news, capitalism is insidious. If folks can't parse TV for commercials, well, we really have lost all hope.

Hah.

If my memory - admittedly shit - serves me correctly, once you get to heaven you just sit and worship god in all his magnificence (can't remember where in the bible that is but have a pretty distinct school memory of learning that and laughing (internally)), which sounds pretty shitty to me unless it comes with some…

Do a search for verdicts and settlements for on-campus rapes. Think about how many dollars you would take for that. See if anything in the public domain is commensurate with what you think the Plaintiff / victim deserved.

Not that it's okay, but a lot of behavior like that is tradition, and when the board is made up of guys that engaged in the same kind of behavior at that age (or at least were treated to their first prostitute around then by some older "gent'), well, a blind eye is hardly surprising.

Oops. Posted the same thing before I saw this. I'm an idiot.

Only one I can think of, but strip clubs aren't my thing.

sigh. boring. take 'er easy man. super-weak troll effort.

Men in Blazers salute you.

I'm going to try at sincerity here: you're really going to blithely ignore the genocide, disenfranchisement, and general context of this situation? It's not "that people" who are offended. It's that a specific subset of folks that were raped and pillaged by this country's government, have little to no voice therein,…

Can't argue with the fact firing Benitez was a mistake. But Hicks and Gillette proved themselves to be terrible human beings with no respect for the club.

Nice - didn't realize that. Making an effort to watch MLS this year.

And 22mm on Suarez. And won the double as a player manager, among many other glittering achievements that warrant a knighthood. And won an EPL title w/ Blackburn.

Broke up with a long time girlfriend after seeing her reaction to a child crying on an airplane. Kid couldn't un-pop his ears, parents super-apologetic and handling it well, and the then-better-half was about to go strangle the kid. Always felt bad for her unborn children. Folks who can't remember what it was like…

Thanks.
