Force yourself to stare at this picture for a while.

This child was just as deserving of life as any American child. This family was just as deserving of joy, safety, and possibility as any American family.

We are an evil monster.

It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by β€œIranian state media”

I've never really lived in a Pizza Hut area, but I will go to bat for Domino's. It's almost inexplicably inexpensive, but a very solid B on taste. With young kids, it's ludicrous to pay what a great pizza costs, but Domino's makes pizza night work.

I don’t think beating Wolves would have qualified anyone as being too spoiled.

That man probably got promoted from the mail room last month when the Post cleaned house. He's in over his head.

It's because of all the drugs.

By reasonable standards, after recent weeks, the U.S. is the country that should not be allowed to participate in the World Cup.

I was in college, and ESPN’s Page 2 was like a bonus course.

It hurts to think back on the sort of writing and ideas ESPN used to give us, knowing what a pile of dreck it's become.

I think it’s important to know if you can throw up or if that disqualifies you. I don’t even mean making yourself throw up, just, what if it happens?

We went out for recess this afternoon at 1:30 or so, and I noticed the same smell.

you need to do it on a hot day where you can sweat out a lot of the beer as you go.

if you think of trailers as those, you can get 4 for the price of one at a movie theater, or 8 for the price of one if you go to an AMC.

Glen Kuiper and Duane Kuiper are two different people is an important piece of information I'm not certain I knew.

I bet there are a number of handsome nurses at your local hospital, so maybe you need to just slip on an icy patch of sidewalk and see what happens.

I was at a Cleveland game in Seattle, way back in 2005, talking baseball with a stranger as we stood near the field more than an hour before the game, when Grady Sizemore wandered over and hugged the man I was talking with. Turns out he was Grady’s high school coach.

De Niro’s character in Scorsese's The King of Comedy pulls that gag too.

I for one am happy about this turn of events. I am glad to read your writing on other topics, but sports are worthy of your insight and prose too. I would also like you to bring back your nutmeg series.

Game Cube also has the best Mario Kart. (I have not played any Mario Karts from the last dozen years, but I stand by my statement.)

I wasn't even certain they had other full albums. Looking at the list you posted, Pet Sounds was the only one I could be sure you hadn't just made up.

FK BodΓΈ/Glimt is ahead of Inter AGAIN?!

I haven't seen a group of Norwegians go into Milan and beat Italians like this since the Olympic cross-country skiing race three days ago.

I guess that's not that long.

It's because when an Australian hits a baseball, it spins in the opposite direction from what we're used to here.

The dirt is totally different where the guy is sitting, which I would take to mean this is a green screen sort of thing, not real.
