Look, I don’t drink, but if a drunk driver has enough self-awareness to not only open Google Maps on their way home, and also somehow process that information and drive in a manner that doesn’t attract the cops, then the person driving is not drunk enough.

The thing that sucks about teaching (I am married to a teacher) is that it is assumed you will work for free. And they do. They are contracted for a specific number of hours per year, but everyone knows that the number of hours are insufficient for prep, professional development and instruction time. So they work a…

As a son of the Bluegrass, few things have ever stuck in my craw harder than the moment that Matt Bevin stood before the state assembly and claimed that the Kentucky teacher’s strike had caused a schoolchild to be molested that day. He was an angrier, redder-faced version of Maude Flanders with a receding hairline,…

The argument I’ve heard is that it was flipped about 60 years or so ago, when the top echelons of society stopped being populated exclusively by wealthy scions who—though vile—had been raised with certain ideas about noblesse oblige, philanthropy, community responsibility, and propriety. They were bad men, but of an…

It’s not like this is the first time American Assholes overplayed their hand...

I find that when the only interactions you have with people are genuine ones, then those interactions are almost all pleasant.

My apology was not an apology at all, but instead, yet another poorly thought out, base, and immature attempt at humor.

Do you think bank robbers are unaware that robbing banks will lead to getting shot and going to jail? Sounds like that’s not too effective either.

Man, Bubsy has enough shit to deal with in his life without you seeking him out just to hurt his feelings.

I’m in a UAW affiliated union. Not an autoworker. Which one are you in?
