Parenthood isn’t a license to be a jerk, it’s an assignment of responsibility. You are responsible for teaching your kids how to behave in public (though that presumes that YOU know how to behave in public) and you’re responsible for not imposing on other people for any length of time.

The reason Miller is known as "The champagne of beers" is because it was heavily marketed to women throughout WWII and immediately postwar, as American beer companies tried to get more women to drink beer. That tagline still resonates, apparently.

Don't move to Seattle, where you are required to back in to angle parking.

It’s not implausible that a police department lacks current technology. Regardless, they’re issuing a DVD that will be presumably easy to reconcile with thee currently available version. The entire arrest is there, though.

Wear all the shit. Cellphones aren't going away.

A rose is a rose...you’re conflating mercantilism and industrial capitalism, neglecting small scale capitalist practices going back for centuries. Economic dynamism has been a characteristic, one way or another, of successful societies for ages. Don’t eschew the realities of free markets, even in agrarian primitive…

Capitalism has been one of the few constants of human history. If you want to say that America’s economy owes its success to the institution of slavery, no problem. But, I think the one thing that diminishes American intellectuals of any race is their Americanness; our American lenses don’t allow us to easily examine…

Unilaterally abridging an agreement to be monogamous isn't feminist. Selfish.

For all the opprobrium heaped upon Simmons by Deadspin in the past, you’ve hit upon something that’s always been clear to me; he’s a good recruiter of talent, a good manager, and a man who encourages readers to have broad interests. Simmons’ own writing has slipped, but I think it’s a clear indication that he’s been…

When you misspeak, do people give you a chance to correct yourself or do they just immediately rip your intelligence, character, and personality?

A good ham sandwich should hurt.

Don’t think Sinead is on super firm ground or anything, but “cunt” is part of Irish and UK idiom. It’s utterly common to hear that word 100 times a day, used by men and women both.

Appropriation is, in most cases, a bullshit charge. Hip-hop and black culture has been marketed worldwide, the vernacular embraced by kids everywhere and suddenly, the kids to whom it has cross-pollinated to are suddenly “appropriating”? It was sold to them! Aside of that, if we want a post-racial culture in our very…

Well, I actually do believe that “Fuck the South” is a good operating philosophy. I’m not ignorant, I’ve heard it all. I don’t like it. It sounds good, but fuck the content. You disagree, but you operate from an assumption that I give a shit about the exposition of the reality of ghetto life, performed by dudes who…

Yeah, that’s not what hypocrisy means.

You ought to read up on the definition of hypocrisy. Look, you like Southern rap? Great. You’re super-comfortable with the lyrical content? Fine. You want to be a fan of dudes who objectify women eight ways to Sunday? Go get it.

Same way everybody does it; eat clean and frequently and move a whole lot of heavy shit a whole lot of times.

Everybody judges everybody. We all have opinions. Mine is that this article about this person and this book on this blog is a fine example of cognitive dissonance. Tell me again how “pimp” has any good connotations where women are concerned, or how much you like being called a bitch.

Nope.

So a woman writes a book singing the praises of a violent guy who called himself a pimp, which means he identified as a procurer of prostitutes or an abuser of women or someone who lived well off of the earnings of prostitutes. Awesome.
