I had a falling out with him a long time ago

There were a few studies done to see if there are actually any physiological differences between liberals and conservatives.. and it turns out there are.. via brain scans,

I appreciate that this story is breaking on a Tuesday.

The ACA was a well-intentioned idea. The US healthcare system was completely out of control before it, and it was at least an attempt to make it less atrocious. But while it did expand a degree of access to a lot of people, it did very little to address the fundamental inequality and inefficiency of the whole system.…

I’d say losing 90 percent of the TV reviews also hurt them.  

Why would you pass up the opportunity to harangue someone like that?

I totally forgot about Hatesong until now. That was just cynical hipster snark overdrive. Just when you think you know your audience...

They did do a lot more music news and reviews back in the day but I agree that is more the fault of just how we get our music these days.

I’ve mentioned it before, but my absolute favorite dig at the Catwoman movie came from a most unlikely source. My mother-in-law is fairly ignorant of the details of how TV/movies work (she just found out about the concept of “seasons” of TV shows in the last year), and one day when channel surfing she came upon the…

I’m just gonna go ahead and say that Bernie should do what he should’ve done before he announced his 2020 candidacy (his 2016 run was fine—and necessary): Step aside for Warren, and be the elder statesman he’s earned the right to be.

Not everyone needs to be President. Shit, President isn’t even the strongest office in…

I’m definitely going to try that.

Gas tax increases are good things. As the gas price crisis of the early 2000's showed, the only way to get people to give up giant gas guzzling SUVs is to make gas more expensive.

Hey now, I think we can all agree it’s more important to know if Aunt Ethel made her weekly call to Nana than it is to detect deeply psychopathic behavior among people who are actively armed by the government and given near-absolute power over vulnerable individuals in a setting that shields them from public view.

The Facebook page is not the issue. These assholes would behave like that in the break room, and probably do. What it *is* though, is symptomatic of the unbelievably toxic culture that this agency enables and embodies in its members.

Evidently not, but I wouldn’t be the one to bust your balls about any of it. You do you. I’m a bleeding heart diehard liberal but this is bullshit of the highest order.  

This is not really a ‘Democrat’ thing. I’ve been a Democrat for a long time and I’ve never seen ‘banning home car repairs’ on any Democrats’ platforms.

Less political and more “assholes who want to dictate how other people live their lives according to their personal standards”. This is a problem across ideologies and parties. Just the subject matter changes. I’m not sure if this mindset is correlated with wealth or if it’s just that the quirks of similarly inclined p…

It’s not a liberal/conservative issue. It’s local government unnecessarily getting all up in your business kind of issue. Just keep your garage closed and watch out for the busybody neighbors...or just move somewhere that people are kinder.

It would truly be impossible to do a worse job. It’s just even with the best of intentions, it can go south really quickly to do an essay rather than, say, a piece in another publication away from your main body of work.
