The NRA and the gun companies are winning, actually. They got people convinced Obama was gonna ban firearms - which he never really considered, ever.

Now they’re trying to convince you that you need their weapons to protect you from the weapons they produced. Basically, they’re playing the arms dealer middleman,…

The gun nuts are winning. Through violence and intimidation.

End your own personal anal cranial inversion, is what this piece is trying to tell you.

David Brooks wrote a typically clueless column about Ta-Nehisi Coates’ new book. The book is written as a letter to his son, so David Brooks thought it would be cute to also style his column that way.

Leather is great if you have kids, everything just wipes off. Screw cleaning a half gallon of puke off of cloth seats, it's gonna stay in there and smell all summer.

yes and yes and if you don't like it you can git out.

So that's how the moon got up there! It's full of helium!
