+1 I'm fairly certain Bradley just pre-title Le'Bron'd the ball like a hot potato immediately back to whoever just passed the rock to him.

Does that list of freedoms include slavery or the right of female citizens to vote? So glad they fought for all kinds of freedom (for white men). What amazing guys our Founding Fathers were you conservative dickwad. Read a history book that wasn't penned by Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck sometime.

Agreed. Maybe he's gained a few pounds of off-season weight but that'll be gone by training camp. I'm in "better than Drew Magary" shape and I always gain a couple lbs on vacation. They're usually gone in a week or two of working out and eating right.

Exactly. That's kinda the thing. It's expected socially that men will do career, women will do career plus cleaning/babies/rearing.

I've posted this before so I'll keep it short but I've never for the life of me understood how people (conservative) who care so much about unborn life can give two shits about it once it's born (especially if it's black/brown/LBGQT). These are the same people who support oligarchy, racism, and the police-state. Why?…

ha! Don't forget clubbing baby seals and shopping at Wal-Mart! (there's some good-ass deals there I'm told)

Last resort? Last resort??? Fuck no. Women, especially those under 20, seek out abortions after talking to doctors, boyfriends, fathers, mothers, husbands, etc. and realizing that they can't afford to take care of a child for the next 18 years without a degree and a job and/or interrupting their career.

Don't forget Washington and Oregon! We're not extremely diverse up here but we do have great wine, increasingly excellent restaurants, great craft beer, liberal gov'ts, and a shit-ton of legal weed. My advice: stick to the cities...it gets a little "Alabama-y" out in the rurals.

Word. I can't wait for the Seattle post! Drew, you need to add Seattle freeze and the fact that Seattle is the whitest city on planet earth! So many fucking arrogant, rude yuppy pseudo-intellectuals. It's basically a city populated by liberal Tucker Max's and your average raised-wealthy law student. Some parts of city…

2666 is fucking amazing writing and worth the long, long march. Took me a couple weeks to read that thing.

I hear ya. Don't quit! I've had bad ratings on that site and it stings but they were mostly from students who were lazy or had different expectations or whatever. The horrible reviews are NEVER about you, they're about whatever that student had going on in their life at that moment. You care enough about your teaching…

Word. I've been rated on ratemyprof. The bad ones I could tell who they were based on the content and the anger. I can tell you with 99% certainty that they were bad or lazy students or that the fit just wasn't right or they had something else going on in life. The great ones aren't helpful to me because they don't…

Yeah. I used to work in a small office. We were all hard-workers and pretty respectful of space and boundaries and shit and even that was hard to maintain. We all got along but the only opinion that matters at the end of the day is the boss, not your fellow co-workers.

He was named after the original Isiah I think. Even if not.

I kinda agree with you. I mean who's to say she isn't cheating as well? They're both wealthy, good-l0oking folks who constantly are around other wealthy-good-looking folks. I think it's expected that you're going to stray. They could both fuck a different, good-looking person every single night of their entire damn…

One celebrity example defeats a hundred or so years of economic and social praxis? You conservatives amuse me LOL.

Oh yeah. She's a savvy business-person and future billionaire. Do I respect her feminism? FUCK NO. She's no better than Miley or fucking Lena Dunham. Celebs can't turn around and fight for real feminist politics when they've fucking won life by scaling a system based upon heteronormative and patriarchal corporatism.…

She was a super-cute humanities PhD student ahead of me. I was an entering doctoral student. The place? A joke of a "teacher training conference" taught by volunteer graduate students to share their experiences in teaching university classrooms. It was basically an excuse to prolong staying sober until 3:30pm.

Not sayin' the NBA is fixed! But it does, since 2002ish, make sure that it can market the shit out of it's finals pairings (i.e. No Pheonix/Indiana finals) and the league has done well to ensure that it has an effective narrative along those lines.

Yeah. That was me traveling abroad during the 2002 cup. I was the only American fan in a bar full of Aussies and Brits who spent most of the matches talking shit about George Bush and American soccer. I still had a fucking blast.
