Brain worms. 

I don’t think I’ve ever taken strong issue with a Deadspin ranking before, and I choose to believe that Milk and Honey Cafe Mix, or whatever, is a good cereal.  But putting Atlantic City on top of this ranking is the act of a desperate man.

Hell I’d just take one where Reconstruction wasn’t summarily ended and its legitimate progress washed away by a massive white backlash. 

It’s important to remember that no one is a bigger asshole than Dan Snyder.

Maybe by then, Dan Snyder will be dead, and a new owner will finally agree to change the team’s racial slur name so they can become the Washington Generals.

I know, it totally sucked that Kobe Bryant, despite never being proven guilty, had to serve a lengthy prison sentence, had his lucrative basketball and sponsorship contracts revoked, and was prevented from living his dream of winning an Oscar.  I thought this was America.

But it’s ok that he likes ogling the cheerleaders’ boobs even though he’s a Baptist, since he hates gambling.

Good god, man.

I dunno, the whole thing is ridiculous, and of course the MAGA crowd was going to have this reaction, but if I were her I’d be fighting back against their racist smears too. Yeah, Obama released his birth certificate and Trump still got elected, but Obama also won two elections much more handily. And (I recall at least

Here’s something I never understood about the birtherism bullshit. Even if Obama was born in Kenya (which he obviously wasn’t), wouldn’t he still be a U.S. citizen since his mom was one? Just like McCain and Cruz? I know the whole point was that it was a not-so-subtle racist dig, but why would it even matter?

I’m saving up for a new bike, and I’d be happy to scream in a few Republican politicians’ faces. Does anyone have Mr. Soros’s email address? I’d love to sign up!

Couldn’t disagree more. The only acceptable outcome in modern American sports is a long-term multi-championship dynasty, and the only way to achieve that outcome is to intentionally put out shitty product for multiple years at a time in order to have the opportunity to stockpile enough underpaid talent through a draft

I dunno, I think “The Greatest” is a pretty damn perfect record.

I was hoping for that one too.  But the National did cover “Maybe Not” in the encore of the Philly show, which was really cool.

It’s not going to happen, of course, but even in a more sane political environment it probably wouldn’t. It’s exceedingly rare to actually charge someone with perjury for Congressional testimony, even though you’ve got to figure misleading Congress is pretty common. I mean, hopefully it’s snough to disgust one or two

I heard Trump was very worried about all the young men getting punched for not being in UB40.

I love the UB40 angle on Kavanaugh’s bar fight.  So he started mixing things up with who he thought was the lead singer of the band he just paid money to see.  Like, was he disappointed in the performance or something?

Being exposed as a partisan hack is actually a pretty great career move in Republican circles. How else do you think they hand out those cushy think-tank gigs. Or Cabinet posts.

2015 - gay marriage legalized in the U.S.

I mean, that kind of is it. Because their paradigm is that guys like Kavanaugh shouldn’t be held accountable for what they do to women. So it is crumbling. Of course, they still have all the power so there’s that, but they are righteously pissed that they even had to listen to her and pretend to respect her for the
