How about the poor judgement in naming your college Antonin Scalia School of Law

I think it's excellent judgment if you want to accurately convey your legal philosophy. Maybe not if you want to augment your credibility generally, admittedly.

You do have to appreciate a law school like ASSOL that's honest about both their legal philosophy and also where it comes from.

I think the renaming is awesome. George Mason is now accurately known as ASSOL or ASSlaw.

Just can't talk about the Lakers. This will end sometime.

This seems like the right thread to mention Blake Griffin's Broad City role.

The only problem -- as she discovers once they get back to his hotel room -- is that Blake's penis is apparently so big that penetrative sex would be impossible.

She probably used to much alum.

It just feels like weird timing for that promo to come out on a day when Blake Griffin was serving part of his suspension for punching an equipment manager on the team.

Perhaps I shouldn't assume that everyone is familiar with that story.

According to the sources, Griffin and Matias Testi, the team's assistant equipment manager, got into an argument in a restaurant during the team's trip to Toronto. Griffin hit Testi, who then left the restaurant and went outside. Griffin followed him outside and hit him again.

Griffin suffered a suspected fracture in his hand in the incident, sources told ESPN's Marc Stein and Ramona Shelburne early Tuesday morning. Sources said the injury is expected to keep Griffin out "a matter of weeks, as opposed to days."

Testi had visible injuries to his face, sources told Eaves. Both Griffin and Testi were sent home after the incident.

That was in January, he remained on the injured list while his hand healed. He was recently cleared to play so then the suspension kicked in.

I dunno, I find this fairly convincing.

Smith is not alone. He's just the loudest voice in a public shaming that feels like it exceeds any case of sexual assault or violence against women that the sports world has produced. Peyton Manning must be somewhere wiping his ample forehead saying, "Maybe I spent years trying to destroy a woman's life for accusing me of sexual harassment, but thank God I didn't break the Bro-Code!"

This is all such unadulterated horseshit.

I like how he put my reaction to his piece in the piece itself. Meta!

In short: how horrible everyone else is doesn't change the fundamental betrayal of trust that's real and relatable, which is why this is a story.

If he really didn't leak the video, it's not a fundamental betrayal. At most, negligent betrayal.

'I'm Not Tryna Marry a Cheater,' tweets Iggy Azalea

Uhh, yeah you are, but let me guess, your awesome perfect perfection and unselfish love will make your playa change his ways and think only of you, especially cause you believe in him and wow, you are really worth it, he should change his life if he understands what's good for him.

Reading on body modification in Japan Neil Labute's was mentioned and that led me to revisit Company of Men, and reading a hundred reviews, the question that is never asked...

...why does Christine believe Chad?

I mean tell you what, a young very good looking upper management college educated alpha female (or Scarlett Johansson) comes on to me with constant flattery I might just go to bed with her but I am damn smart enough and honest enough not to fall in love with her. Scarlett's love ain't real cause I ain't all that.

If I phrased it as "Why does Christine believe she deserves Chad's love?" the usual suspects will find it offensive, because well, deserve, who can say the pure and good who are them all each deserves Brad Pitt and Jonny Depp. Fighting over her.

It isn't Christine's vulnerability that makes her an easy target for Chad and Howard...it's her narcissism.

"Lie to Me" sayeth the Buffy. Th delusions not only make me feel better, being deluded and betrayed makes me look better to myself.

Iggy Azalea is definitely marryin a cheata.

She is still a SLC typist to Chad's Manhattan executive, and check what's lying next to Chad in the final scene.

I screwed up some html, and it was Labute's Shape of Things mentioned in the beauty book.

As far as Christine's narcissism goes, the Japanese have a neat saying:"You are too old to be shy."

I've never heard that one, though I know plenty of older Osaka women who live by it. Do you know what the original Japanese is?

Nope! Heard Read it in a few movies.

Stacy Edwards is a lot hotter than you, brah.

(Somewhat "dressed down" in Company incidentally, awkward in makeup, clothes and hair.)

For the record, I find this offensive, in an indirect way.

"He's a Rhodes scholar with his own business, 3 million in the bank, fluent in 4 languages, a marathoner who spends a month a year working in African villages."

"And she?"

"She's really hot! And sweet!"

"Perfect match."

Leaving aside who Trump is, that Ivanka supermodel is in any way a challenging match for him...well, come up with your own examples.

As long as women believe/are told they can match men's achievements and accomplishments with looks and personality the Patriarchy will prevail.

95% of the Broad City audience have no idea who Blake Griffin is, like the characters on the show, so it doesn't really matter.

I have watched Broad City, and I have no idea who Blake Griffin is, so it all checks out.
