One man with more deadly power in his hands than wisdom to check his impulse to use that power.

I believe in you! You can totally do this! Classic puff pastry is a bitch, but cheater’s puff is so easy that you’ll never buy the crappy frozen stuff again.

I’m not talking about proficiency but about restraint.

At best, we armed a man not fit to be armed.

Handcuffed ...and shot 7 times??? WTF?

Damn, didn’t there used to be a way to star articles or something? I also read the Jez article about deifying black people the other day. The 15 minutes combined I spent reading both of these gave a more in-depth, comprehensive view on what happened on Tuesday than the hours of tv and talk radio since. Who knew that…

But I knew the Holy Spirit was going to require acting talent that I did not possess! I fucking Ricky Ricardo’d my way right on…

When the MeeMaws and PeePaws of the people for whom ‘tongues’ counts as a language credit start dying off in droves because they believe old Uncle Snake Oil and his Bullshit (my metric remains: check his rally schedule, still blank), maybe Hannity will push back a teensy bit and recommend washing hands.

This is reminiscent of - but FAR more entertaining than - a recreational weed store in northeast Seattle that took over an old Midas muffler shop location. The very tall (40'?), formerly illuminated Midas sign was simply painted green, from top to bottom. Given the relief of the letters on the previously illuminated…

For a minute, yeah.

To give you an idea of how long ago it was that I knew him, he was talking about TJ Hooker being on TV.

Now every movie scene like this has been justified.
