University Professor Makes It Rain in the Strip Club. Would’ve Been Fine If He Hadn’t Used Grant Money to Do It

And I think the notion is racist as…

I mean…not that we needed yet another story tying Trump support to good-old-fashioned American racism, but we got one via a 53-year-old pilot for Endeavor Air, a regional subsidiary of Delta, in today’s “Yep, Water is Still Wet as Hell” news. James E. Dees, whose name was probably not intentionally made to sound eerily similar…

Pastor John Gray Pledges, ‘I’ll See You Next Week, and the Next Week After That’ While Megachurch Faces Eviction
If the Church of Beyoncé was to DM Pastor John Gray of Relentless Church, they might ask, “Sir, have you paid your bills? Have you paid your telephone bill, Have you paid your automo-bill? Then, maybe Relentless can chill.” Ok, that was a bad joke, but I laughed when I thought of it. Anyway… Early…

Why You Always Lying?: Mike Pence Wrongly Ties Soleimani To 9/11
A thing that has always troubled me about conservative America is the propensity towards justifying US aggression against Islamic adversaries by taking the “a Muslim is a Muslim is a Muslim” approach. George W. Bush and his administration convinced most of the country that going to war in Iraq against Saddam Hussein was the right…

That’s right, some cowardly, bologna smelling, stiff line-dancing, clapping on…

Don Imus Died…but Anyway, What Y’all Having for Breakfast?
When George Bush Sr. died, I posted to Facebook, “R.I.P. George… Jefferson.” I have a number of witty, inappropriate jokes saved in my phone for when David Duke or Eric Cartman’s absentee father, Rush Limbaugh, kick the bucket. I feel no obligation to be kind or respectful to bigots or those who have done harm…
