I otter be ashamed of myself for saying this, but I can hardly bear the sealiness of this video.

Stomp, clap, stomp stomp clap!

I love that The Lawyer doesn’t have a name.

How do you have The Gang Gives Frank an Intervention not ranked higher? It is one of the all time best episodes. I challenge you to a duel!

The consistent reference to himself in the third person stood out to me as one of the more bizarre things. Is that a symptom of Alzheimer’s?

Does it make a difference? They’ve been taxed at the same rate since 2003.

You can only currently deduct up to $3,000 in capital losses against ordinary income (typically, salaried or hourly income). My point is that you don’t want a one size fits all approach because then sophisticated taxpayers would be able to shelter even more of their income. Stratification of income among various…

They have income, it’s just not salaried income. And unlike the rest of us poors, they can choose when they have that income by choosing when to sell. Only something like mandatory mark-to-market tax rules would eliminate that ability.

That’s actually not a great idea since it would likely lead to an explosion of tax shelters since you could basically just net all your deductions and credits against all your income (as happened in the 1980s). Differentiating types of income stops that: you can only net your capital losses against your capital…

Capital gains rates are actually already progressive, but the rates are tied to overall income, not net capital gains. See here for the 2016 rates:

This is a little incomplete because you don’t mention raising capital gains taxes, specifically, which is what comprises a huge portion of the wealthy’s income. It makes no sense to tax a salaried worker at a higher rate than someone who collects income from a stock portfolio.

I Hate Christian Laettner 2: The Tripping

I made the mistake of taking a full sip of water as I was reading your comment. Thanks for the water all over my keyboard!

I was in the Chicago airport during a layover in 2004 with my mother when William Hung came through on one of those airport car things and got off at a gate near ours. My mother walked over and asked for a picture. He said no. I sort of get being a dick if you’re a real celebrity, but if you’re William Fucking Hung…

I have had a Mirena IUD for going on 6 years (just had my second one implanted in March after having the previous one for 5 years). Yes, it hurts when you get it put in. Yes, you cramp for a day or two. But then, guess what? I have not had a period since I had my first one put in! Rejoice! No monthly cramping,…

Yup, I have a friend who was on House Hunters, and it was the same deal. You have to be under contract and then they give you fake houses to tour and you have to pretend like you’re interested.

Do you have any recommendations for good gyms in the Philly suburbs? I moved to Conshohocken a few months ago and have been looking for a good gym nearby.

Iliza Shlesinger has something to say about this. http://www.avclub.com/article/mermaids-get-theirs-trailer-iliza-shlesingers-netf-242530

Not pictured: Dan Snyder gleefully shitting all over Redskins fans.

Someone else made the point in the comments that this is the way it goes down in the graphic novel, but being able to read something on paper, without the sound effects or actual gore, is a different experience than seeing it played out with actors and incredibly true-to-life special effects. I think they really…
