Give a CEO deregulation for a day, and he'll poison the lake, so it doesn't matter if anyone teaches the poor man how to fish: There won't be any fish to catch.

There is a tradition at Yale of posing while leaning on a fence with your white Y varsity sweater. It goes back to the Walter Camp era. George H.W. Bush did it. Brian Dowling, the 1968 quarterback on whom Garry Trudeau based Doonesbury's B.D., did it.

I still want to know what happened to all those white women who supposedly registered to vote at Taylor Swift's concerts. Did they not show up at the polls? Or did they decide that being white mattered more to them than being female? If Taylor writes a breakup song for them, I wanna hear it.

Please don't ask me, "Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, guess what day it is!" I got sick of that commercial the second time they showed it, and I'm ticked off at ESPN for doing an homage to it.

Given the competition, it’s pretty impressive that Trump has somehow managed to hire his worst ever press secretary. Katie Zacharia is a fake lawyer, can barely read aloud, and has zero personality at the podium. The bar is so low it’s in hell.

Letterman jackets, or as we call them in New Jersey, varsity jackets, debuted in 1956? I had wondered. My school opened in 1958, and the first yearbook, in 1962, showed students wearing them.

It’s hard to think of a better definition of a traitor to the West than someone who deliberately sabotages a European democracy’s military operation against a barbaric Russian invasion.

Last week, Tucker Carlson interviewed Jacob Rees-Mogg, an English politician. Carlson tried to make the point that fighting Hitler had been the wrong choice for Britain in WWII. Rees-Mogg, himself an ardent rightwinger, shut that down quickly. youtu.be/VAAEqsYJw1w?...

So the agents Kash fired were Iran experts? Other than the obvious cover-up, why were Iran experts investigating the classified docs in the Mar-a-Lago crapper? It sounds like we know who was buying...this is big...

I was working in a theater when that was showing. The other ushers were conservative young men who loved the film's violence. After 7 years of Reagan as President, they thought he was still fighting the establishment. They were so ignorant, they didn't know they were on the wrong side.

My daughter is growing up with fewer rights than the 3 generations before her. Michele Tafoya may celebrate that, but I refuse to let it stay that way.

You really are fucking stupid. Hamas are the Nazis, because THEY WANT TO KILL ALL THE JEWS. It's in their goddamned mission statement. They created the myth of "the Palestinians" to fool idiots like you into believing they're leftist victims, instead of what they are: Religious maniac aggressors.

If being woke means caring about racism, sexism, homophobia, climate change, and human rights, then I genuinely don't understand why anyone would consider it an insult. Being aware of injustice is a good thing. Being proud of your ignorance isn't.

She puts in the work in committees, where so much of the work gets done. Sorry, LeftSky: By doing actual work, AOC is already more like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries than she is like Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani.
