This sound cool:

Citing religious freedom, NC clergymen sue state for right to perform same-sex marriages

Oh goody, a bunch of pasty-white anarchists are gonna protest the only cab service that black people can reliably use. But they're doing it on behalf of african immigrants, guys! So it's totally legit!

Ralph Nader says Rand Paul is a good choice for president, proving he's still a pile of stinking shit who wants to make decent people suffer.

Anarchists are defending a government-controlled market against competition from a highly distributed set of independent operators in business for themselves.

My ironymometer just broke.

Is the NBA going to hold players to the same standard as Sterling? Shaq has a long history of anti-Asian racism. Tony Parker did a Nazi salute a few months ago. Homophobia and sexism (including sexual assault and domestic violence) don't seem to elicit much of an outrage. The NBA needs to have a policy that is consistent.
Has the Stranger even covered the beating of that elderly white man by a mob in Detroit?
Has the Stranger even covered the robbery by 4 Africans of a disabled man on Capitol Hill?
Thanks for letting us know someone insulted a black person. Thanks for not covering far worse crimes, even when they happen 2 blocks from the Stranger's office.

@2 and @5 Would you really expect more from a bunch of dumb privileged white kids?

Approximate Google Maps location of the deferred timber sale, in topographic view to highlight the steepness, from which you can zoom out to find its location from the Oso slide area, switch to regular map view or satellite view, etc.:

An Occupy founder says the next revolution will be rural

White chose tiny Nehalem[,OR] as his home base because, he says, social change movements like Occupy are too focused on urban environments: “I mean the urban areas, they coddle you and you become this large, comfortable child-egg baby.

One of the things that’s nice about living here is that it’s terrifying to move here. People hunt; they have guns. They have floods here where you cannot leave for five days in a row. This place is all about resilience and sustainability.”

@1 Yaaay! It's about fucking time.

I like the brief, too. It keeps the argument simple and clear, dots all the i's and crosses all the t's. Why, an average North Carolinian reading it might actually understand it!

The defendants' response brief is going to be a shitshow.

@4,

Would you make the same argument if a traditional cabbie hit and killed a child in between fares? By the way, Uber has since changed its policy (presumably after buying insurance to cover the liability) after the outcry over the company letting its employees kill children with no repercussions for the company. So even the douchebag who runs Uber is more of a person than your useless ass.

@2,

What the fuck are you talking about?

@7: Liar liar.
Shaq made a joke involving a fake-Chinese message to be delivered to Yao Ming, and Yao agreed he was just kidding. Parker did NOT give the Nazi salute, but rather the "quenelle", a wholly-different gesture of "I'm gonna stick my arm THIS FAR up your ass" that (unbeknownst to Parker at the time) has confusingly acquired anti-Semitic connotations.
You can take your faux outrage and blatant racism and stick them THIS FAR up your ass (please enlarge font 800% for proper viewing):

@12 sgt doom: FTW! You nailed it. Here's hoping that alert federal whistle-blowers like Elizabeth Warren and others can finally help in putting a stop to this truly Orwellian shit.
@14 Brooklyn reader, re @1 Seatackled (btw, thanks for helping get rid of the tag problem on another Stranger slog): Agreed! Spot on!

@4: If I am driving fares for your company all night, and am logged into your system, I'm working for you, whether someone is in my car at that precise moment or not.

@20,

That was a regular insult, not an ad hominem, you fucking twit.
