I’m fine with pitchers needing to face 3 batters before leaving. These lefty specialists have been coddled long enough!

I understood your point re the Kardashians. Rich people basically being patrons for poor people always hits me the wrong way. She’s very nice to do it, but my mind always goes in that other direction.

I’m more of a “it’s obviously a great gesture, but what does it say about the state of the world that we have to rely on the kindness of the absurdly rich to take care of the poor” kind of person.

BOOOOOO!

I am a millennial. An older one (born in ‘88), but I still count! I probably am a bit out of touch with millennials who are younger than me, but I think as a society we have a tendency to pay more attention to the noisy stuff. The plain fact is that for as loud as it is, there just aren’t actually that many people on…

Wow. Meghan McCain pulled the full Andrew Cuomo “I am also a refugee muslim woman” argument. Bravo!

It’s an...um... interesting argument to make that having maybe the best player ever is bad for the team. I mean, they’re in the thick of most tournaments solely because of him.

It’s more complicated than I obviously made it seem. Initially, with the 1957 Civil Rights Act (which was not very substantial, but still the first Civil Rights bill of the 20th century, I believe), it was again LBJ spearheading it. But interestingly, it had Russell’s approval (despite his eventual vote against it).…

Historically, senators are dickheads about changing even the most minuscule thing about the senate’s precious operating procedure. It was established specifically for the purpose of being the most conservative part of the American government by the founders, they’ll be quick to tell you.

Southern senators used the filibuster for more than a generation to preserve segregation and Jim Crow in the 20th century until LBJ snapped it over his knee. He should have killed it then.

I think you’re overestimating how many people care about Politics Twitter. Twitter has about 70 million users in the US. Less than half of them use it daily. What percentage of them do you think care about what Ilhan Omar says on Twitter? 10%? 5% 1%? Less even than that? All politicians should have an account, I…

Counterpoint: Twitter is a shithole and everyone should stay off it, especially politicians because politics requires nuance, which takes more than 280 characters.

Counterpoint: Maduro is an unelected dictator who is literally forcing Venezuelans to starve to death or eat rats, then starve to death. I don’t support military action, but democrats arguing that it’s a moral imperative that Maduro step down are not wrong. He does. He was not elected. Everyone knows the last…

The typos seem especially high in this batch of letters. But I will say, there’s something catchy about “IF I EVER SEE YOU I’D SMACK FIRE IN YOU”. I might use it in the future, tense confusion notwithstanding.

Also he’s a rapist.

Then let’s talk about VALIS! It’s a wonderful book! Don’t preface it by telling me you don’t own a TV.

People who talk about not owning a TV at the party are never the cool people at the party.

It would get in the way of BIG SNARK.
