my mama sent me an email a little bit ago on how she was affected by the kennedy assassination. she was only eleven when it happened:

I have mixed feelings about Bill Simmons too. I often enoy reading his columns, but if all it takes to be a “good writer” is to pack your columns with unrelated pop-culture references, then anyone can be a good writer.
This is a terrible column. He doesn’t talk about whether his rankings are based on head-to-head or roto! They’re two different fantasy...

I would learn, when I asked some people who didn’t show up the next day, that “definitely attending” on Facebook means “maybe” and “maybe attending” means “likely not.” So I probably shouldn’t have taken it personally. But the combination of alcohol and solitude turned my thoughts to self-pity. Was I really that big of a loser? Or was it that no one wants to get together in real life anymore? It...

I’m not saying that Matt is wrong, or that the WSJ is right, but this essay was just a bit too…precious…for my tastes.
I don’t have the answers, and I don’t have much confidence in anything, outside of myself. That said, if I know one fact about the world, it’s that very few of the self-confident...

My man Chris Paul is the nicest guy in the league. When guys come to New Orleans, they go straight over to his house to eat, and some even stay over. A lot of dudes have guys from the opposing team over to their mom’s house for a big dinner. That’s great, but back in the day that was unheard of. If your mom was gonna cook for another team’s player, she’s gonna be in that...
Had my fantasy basketball draft for my non-pay league with my cousins and other people I don’t know. I’m not too happy with the results. My computer is retarded and stopped working part way through the draft, and autodraft went and took a bunch of retarded players. Still, my picks were pretty good. I took Amare with the second pick in the draft. I did not pick Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon,...

The Boston Red Sox really are this decade’s Houston Rockets, aren’t they?
Wow, it’s hard to remember these days that Houston was once referred to as Clutch City for their ‘93-‘94 and ‘94-‘95 championship seasons. Man, I don’t know of any one team that gave me more thrills than those Rockets.

Fairness and equality have No Place in Constitutional discourse! Obama is a fool to bring it up, and this clearly means he’s for unfettered judicial MADNESS!
Obama has just lost the People-Who-Hate-Obama-Already vote!
It’s hard to bash Obama for what he said at the debate (or read too much into what he said) when it’s clear that he’s capable of a higher level of...
When Obama said that 100% of McCain’s ads were negative, and McCain said, “No they weren’t,” he looked genuinely hurt. I know on the night that Obama accepted the Democratic nomination for president, McCain ran an ad unequivocally congratulating Obama on his historic accomplishment.
In deciding to watch the debate, I hope to witness live a Zidane headbutt-like moment.

I wonder how it feels to have everything you write reblogged by someone, no matter how pointless or retarded it is. If I want something to get reblogged, I’ve got to be stupidly provocative or just stupid, and then someone will reblog me only to diss me.

When I took Baron Davis last year in the second round, James said that I took him too high. Boy was the egg on his face. B-Diddy turned out to be one of the top 10, maybe top 5 fantasy players last season. And did I mention that I won it all? Below is a list of players that James will probably scoff at, but then again, that’s why he lost to me last season.
Monta Ellis, Yao Ming, Greg Oden,...
Debate
deepalc:
I don’t get it. The town hall style debate seemed to fit Obama worlds better then McCain, except maybe when they talked about foreign policy, but I don’t think that has anything to do with the style of debate. Obama kept walking freakishly close to Tim Brokaw and McCain looked like a whimp when he started complaining about Obama not following the rules. The gross oversimplification,...

“I blocked (Yao’s) shot a couple of times today. He dunked on Mike Harris. I ain’t got dunked on yet, so I’m good. ”
When told of Dorsey’s crowing, Yao grinned broadly.
“That’s OK, it’s practice,” he said. “When the season starts, he won’t be playing.”

In trying to think of a name for my team this year, I’ve realized just what an inspired name “u sux; i don’t sux” was. Is there any point in winning another fantasy basketball league if I...

I follow about 125 people and I havent seen one posting coming to the rescue of McCain/Palin. Now it’s obvious I am not a supporter of the the candidates who hang to the right, but it would be nice to read some other tumblr’s opinions.

Anti-Intellectualism and the Debate
mills:
Nietzsche’s claim that Christianity represented an inversion of all natural values has quite a lot of psychological resonance for anyone who remembers high school. Early Christians, poor, marginalized, powerless and hated, articulated a religious system that valued poverty, powerlessness, and weakness over wealth, strength, and beauty (traditionally preferred, by Greeks and Romans, for...
