The duck would rather have a mullet.

The Dutchess could copyright her letters to Dad, so that he can’t sell them without consequences. She could also bite the bullet and either put her Dad on salary or provide him with regular curated letters ghostwritten by her staff, that he could sell and would keep him out of her hair. The problem is that she…

Maybe George could have got Bill Clinton to do the interview?

I don’t approve of his behavior and eccentricities, but... They wouldn’t let him on the show if he didn’t shower or bathe regularly, which would be rather hard to do without sort of washing hands. Poor people with no refrigerators, often eat food, including pizza that has been left unrefrigerated much of the day. An…

Isn’t “Sidelined” suggestive that McCain was suspended from the show? That she was told to shut up and crossed her arms and glared at Behar seems sort of light for “Sidelined.” She might get a bonus for inspiring chatter across the internets.

There is a can’t win aspect, that no matter what you do, people who are rejected actually feel comforted if they can find fault in the way the dastardly deed was accomplished. People, women or otherwise, with personalities leaning toward the feminine range, have difficulty with saying a firm no and don’t want to…

Apparently it is wrong to point out that AOC wears expensive clothing and tells high school students to wear thrift store clothes, but perfectly O.K. to criticize Melania Trump’s attire?

Those snowflakes!

Black people don’t say it. It is an old white people, boomer, and a bit older, thing. There may be a connotation of white politicians dividing up political spoils and deciding what crumbs will be given to “The blacks.” There is old fashioned political division of spoils that is associated with those words.  Maybe I…

Celebrities in general, are concerned that they might be ruined in the future, because they wore blackface.  There is every possibility that the pressure on politicians will eventually be focused on comedians and actors.  In any event, I was responding to a specific reply to my comment, that referenced “Orange is the…

They have tried various butterfinger variations. I had a Butterfinger Crunchy at my store, that was marketed in parallel, but not replacing the classic. Perhaps the two bars are now merged. I will contemplate this while I eat a Butterfinger-Peanut butter Cup.

An interesting effect of higher tax rates is that it changes how people invest money. Either people go for some higher risk return, because 2% on a CD minus 70% is less than zero after inflation, or alternately, they bid up assets that are regarded as the most secure, like tier one flagship real estate. Willingness to…

I would comment again on those topics, but no weightlifting post to comment to in days, and I think Hamilton Nolan is really sensitive about allowing criticism of his various economics, manifestos.

I don’t have a twitter account or twitter rage.

Didn’t write that Trump was not a racist or that he had to say the “N” word to be one, not anywhere.

First and foremost, it is my hobby to comment to posts on this family of websites, not just The Root, but Gizmodo, and so on. I believe I posted for the first time a couple years prior to the decline and fall of Gawker Media. I comment if I see something interesting, for fun. Or to respond to people who reply. But, in…

Julianne Hough, “Orange is the New Black” actress, wore blackface in 2013:

That’s just it. Trump is not a “The Blacks,” vernacular, user. He is “African Americans” all the way. Someone told him he would be more successful doing business in NYC and Nevada, and with black athletes and other black celebs, if he referred to them as African American. He took that to heart. Sadly, he is too addled…

I’m not Tomato Face, though.

I detest Putin though.
