No shots intended at Burgess, just, I think it’s a really hard problem in general for reporters to have to report on such a malevolent dunce because of the position of power he holds

I think it was last year that my wife got me Adirondack chairs made of untreated wood for the kids, and as I sped off to the shed to get some poly and a brush she was like “oh no I’m sorry, I didn’t intend to make this a proje—ah wait, I nailed it, carry on”

Honestly, if I found out my wife orchestrated the entire scenario as an elaborate Father’s Day gift, I’d be like, yes, this is the most thoughtful gesture I could possibly imagine

Frustrated by Reddit’s inability to deliver an answer for removing old tree sap from a deck, I turned to the resident gruff older gentleman at Ace. He immediately, confidently recommended a method, $8.99. It worked. This is my fourth-most important adult male friendship. No idea what his name is.

Oh “hatred” is way too strong, it’s been 20 years, but the basic answer to your question is still yes

I have no beef with Alex Caruso, it’s the two-bit team that employs him. Honestly even if I didn’t like him I wouldn’t make a thing of it, that man’s fought his hairline for too long to have to deal with more

I’m “out of line” for being, at most, mildly annoyed that the team I grew up rooting for got stolen and is now good 20 years later? Alright lol

Hey, anytime you can move 1 of 30 NBA franchises from the 13th largest media market to the 47th largest media market AND make it look this stupid, you have to do it, that’s just great business from the NBA

Yeah, the idea that there is for sure a huge untapped market for $5 million green cards is the kind of thing that only wealthy people who spend all their time around wealthy people think is smart

"We will erase the national debt by selling illegal green cards to millions of extremely wealthy foreigners who (1) definitely exist and (2) want to move to our budding police state" is the kind of delusional nonsense that only this country's stupidest billionaires could come up with

Was incurring six figures worth of student debt to join a profession I quickly abandoned worth it for this exact moment a decade later? Who can say? Also yes

Yeah he graduated in the same Yale Law class as JD Vance and Vivek Ramaswamy, which I will go out on a limb and say probably has something to do with how he got his current job

He was pretty normal as far as I could tell! He went to Yale Law and had a summer gig on Hill that he hated. Halfway through the summer Alex Kozinski called him and offered him a half-summer clerkship for a sitting in, IIRC, Guantanamo Bay. He quit and flew out that Friday and I never saw him again.
