And that also gave me some pleasure. What can I say? I understand Hitler … I sympathize with him a bit.” He added that he’s not “against Jews” and is in fact “very much in favor of them. All Jews. Well,...

Boxer Bernard Hopkins, a Philadelphia Eagles fan, has ripped Donovan McNabb before. On Tuesday, he took his apparent disdain for the quarterback to another level.
…
“Forget this,” Hopkins said, according to the Philadelphia Daily News, and pointed to his own skin. “He’s got a suntan. That’s all.”

Chris Dixon’s recent post about a buddy who got into MIT without a high school diploma reminded me of when I applied to college without a high school degree and got rejected everywhere I applied.
My sophomore year in high school my buddy Kevin wrote in English class about how Phineas and Gene in A Separate Peace were gay lovers. You just don’t do that in one of the most conservative...

[Sneijder] was a disruptive force in the Dutch team, quarrelling with his enemy Van Persie over who got to take free-kicks. In the end the Dutch assistant coach Frank de Boer ruled in favour of Sneijder. Challenged on this, De Boer replies with impeccable logic: “Well, where else am I going to put that Smurf when we get a free-kick?” Sneijder does not typically rule the skies like...
