1. The NFL football season usually ends for me when the Steelers are done playing. Whether it’s the last game of the regular season or the first game of the playoffs, when the Steelers are out, so am I. I’ll still watch a game if it happens to be on, and, depending on the game,…

Comcast's Gon' Comcast: Cable Company Renames Former Customer "Asshole Brown"
Raise your hand if you need any other reason to hate Comcast other than it being Comcast? Exactly.

When White Liberals Attack
Doing things The Right Way — when your actions are closely aligned with what would be considered the most moral way to act — is (obviously) the right way to do things.
