I think they're (mostly! usually!) harmless. And Seattle is kind of silly. But I like it that way.

Jesus man, half the pleasure of wine is how it smells. Is it possible your anti-smell position is subconsciously based on some misguided Marxist belief that wine appreciation is a game for the bourgeoisie? At least that would be ideologically consistent and not just batshit crazy.

schmacky commented on Sodo Arena Deal Still Alive Even If Kings Deal Is Dead.

What @4 said. This result is due to the NBA's "business model," which is all about emotional extortion and looting the public treasury to the fullest possible extent. The league isn't interested in accepting a deal based on fairness, predicated on the notion that the city's risk should be kept small and the owners of the team, as the prime benefactors, should support most of the cost. They want the deal in which public investment is highest, with the municipality that is most eager to get royally fucked straight up its collective asshole. Right now, Sacramento wins on that score and it's not even close.

schmacky commented on Brave CBS Reporter Speaks Up for Underprivileged Older Christian White Men.

I think the root cause of this myopia is that life is hard for everybody, even "privileged" white males. We all have our challenges, our weaknesses, our selfishness and stupidity to manage. And when you overcome those issues to the point where you are generally a good man, faithful to your wife, raising your kids, etc, you crave acknowledgement. Nothing wrong with that. In this world that, in fact, is an accomplishment.

What guys like Brando miss, unfortunately, or don't want to believe, or refuse to acknowledge, is that it's even harder for everybody else. It takes humility to let that reality into your world view, and some of us just aren't able to do it due to the aforementioned weakness/selfishness/stupidity.

C'mon...I can't call someone a pussy now? What's up with that? Why don't I hear a similar outcry over calling someone a dick? After all, should I not get offended by someone equating my genitalia with asshole-ish behavior? And what about assholes? What's wrong with assholes? They are beautiful and don't deserve to be used in a derogatory way!!!

Seriously...words mean different things in different contexts. Relax.

Uncomfortably Swiftian.

schmacky commented on AP on Twitter: "Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured" (UPDATE: AP reportedly hacked).

@13: It does kind of sound like a person with news organization skills...By mentioning two explosions rather than just one, and by saying Obama is "injured" rather than dead, it has just enough detail to feel initially like it might be true. So while this was perpetrated by a sick, pathetic fuck, it's a somewhat clever sick, pathetic fuck.
