In a world where you no longer need to learn the special paper folding techniques to read the NYT without also covering the two people sitting to your left and the two people sitting to your right on the subway with your paper........

To me, it sounds like something Buckwheat from The Little Rascals would say.

Changing the stated party position and the rhetoric of the speeches given is not going to save this country. It is not going to save our representative republic.

As a melonin challenged person of lacking color I much prefer wypipo to other names such as Frosty, snowflake, Casper, marshmallow, wonder bread, saltine....

I thought Mother Gothel was more Gypsy or Mediterranean in looks.

a box grater or a food processor with the shredder wheel will make quick work of any block cheese.

As someone who went to a religion run private school, I can tell you first hand the education provided was equal to if not superior to the public school education I could have gotten down the road.

We’ve had “privatized” and “charter” schools in this country for a long time. Mainly run by religious institutions whether it be Christian, Catholic, Mormon, Jewish or Muslim. And those schools have gotten the tax dollars that would have been spent on those students if they went to a public school. And those teachers…

So, teens are walking across his lawn. Strike against them. He tells them, apparently not for the first time, to get off his lawn. Boyfriend decides that is disrespecting his girl and tells him off. Cop decides he can’t let that stand and a fight starts. Cop pulls gun and fires it.

Can we talk about the bigger issue of branding people for life who commit one offense? Essentially taking away their rights as citizens for the rest of their life.

“Resisting arrest” is the most bullshit, overused charge ever created. It shouldn’t even be a charge. But our legal system believes in throwing every single tiny charge possible at people so they get hit with dozens of charges over one incident. That’s bullshit.

Standard procedure for cops coming on the scene of a fight is to take both parties into protective custody to both defuse the situation and have a chance to find out what was happening. Sometimes that’s just throwing both parties into the back of different squad cars. Sometimes its handcuffed on the curb on opposite…

As much as everyone loaths Trump, and I’ve hated him since the late 80's, the renovation of Wollman Rink is one of the genuinely good things he’s done for NYC. It was a dilapadated wreck that neither the city or any vendors could properly maintain and make profitable. Trump used his influence with city officials to…

If you put a bug in any school’s teacher’s lounge, you’d understand exactly how this could happen. Someone thinking they’re being clever and nobody stopping them.

I can see one “positive” reason this could have happened, and that’s if they were trying to emulate Common Core Curriculum and wanted the math work to reflect the reading work and all match the theme of black history month. Like they’ve been reading about slavery, MLK, etc. and the math problems were written to…

“A Day Without A Woman”......can we nominate which specific woman we will do without for that day? Will there be a survivor like vote from a pool of nominees? Kellyanne Conway?

What’s truly disturbing is the reports that this is also happening in Europe. That Russian funding and intelligence efforts are backing the far right, populist movement all over Europe. Russia is playing a long game, a better one than the Soviets ever did.

He would be too threatened if he was surrounded by highly intelligent and competent people who know how to do their jobs in government. He can’t have anyone around him outshine him.

Mahershala Ali as Voldermort

And now I want to see a remake of Harry Potter with an all black cast and put the school in Westchester. The Hogwarts Express replaced with a MetroNorth train out of the Harlem-125th Street station. The Dursley’s only kept Harry around for the foster care check and they tried to keep him from going to school so they…
