Thanksgiving is thousands of years old and can be traced back to Catholics, Puritans, and even Guy Fawkes. In the modern narrative, however, it's a blasphemous day where we overindulge ourselves while ignoring the horrible slaughter of the American Indians. The Southern Poverty Law Center suggests ...
J"aime Paris. And by "aime" I mean "love," not "like." I proposed to my wife under the Eiffel Tower and have been visiting regularly since the "80s when the biggest problem the authorities seemed to have was those goddamn punk rockers and their irreverent hairdos. ...
Finally, after at least a decade of white supremacy on campus, students of all colors are breaking free and screaming, "WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT OUR CHAINS!" It took a lot of racism to ignite the unwashed masses of Ivy League students yearning to breathe free, but this is the week ...
"Racist Rant Shelves Shock Jock," screamed the front page of New York's Daily News in July of last year. Anthony Cumia was fired from his twenty-year gig with The Opie & Anthony Show. He had been attacked by a gigantic black woman for taking her picture and was subsequently approached ...

Last week, NASA confirmed that there is water on Mars. This could be some kind of cross-promotional hullabaloo for the movie The Martian, which came out this week, or it could mean there's life on Mars. If it's the latter, it behooves us to provide a welcome letter for Martians to get acquainted ...
I was at the park with my daughter the other day and we started counting the people who were walking past while looking at their phones. The numbers skewed high because it was hipster Brooklyn and on a relatively empty street where pedestrians didn"t have to worry about collisions, but my God ...
Westerners used to just barge into countries, take them over, and make them better. Before the British invaded, India was just a really hot homeless shelter.
