"The beauty of rooting for a team that’s only in its eighth year of existence, though, is that there are no longtime loyalists. Sure, the Washington Nationals have been pretty bad for most of the time they’ve been around—but they’ve only been around since 2005. For 34 years before that, D.C. had no baseball at all. So no one in town had to watch, mournfully, as their team was mathematically eliminated from postseason contention weeks before the last game, or gnash their teeth in frustration as the losses piled up, knowing things would be no better next time around, either. (No one, that is, except Redskins fans in the Dan Snyder era.)"

—  Love this City Paper package on how to root for the Nats.

"Minor’s appointment is a milestone for the magazine industry, which has had only a handful of nonwhite editors at mainstream titles throughout its history and none at all among the top-selling women’s books."

—  Looking forward to black ‘firsts’ in mainstream media being a thing of the past

Fact: I get madder about roundtables/panels/whatevers about Black Things when they don't include black women than I do when roundtables/panels/whatevers about Things don't include black people.

Since I can't hulk out in every situation where I'm being discriminated against, I can only hope that the universe will take care of some of the haters for me. But believe me when I tell you, it's hard out there for a gimp.

Let’s Play A Game

(Goldfish, Crisco, and frying pan. Rope, shovel, and bleach)

A baseball bat, Tucks Medicated Hemorrhoid Pads and Duct Tape.

Parmesan cheese, a bottle of rubber cement, and a furby.

A can of compressed air, a can of whip cream and a baby rattle.

Peanut Butter, a sack of marbles, and a funnel

Kitchen tongs, hamster food, and a roll of paper towels.

A box of bullets, a loop of rope, and baby formula.

A shovel, a plastic tarp, and the biggest box of Comet they have. And I buy it EVERY Monday morning.

Dude, no one suggested three boxes of at-home enemas? 

DVDs of Taken, Sex & The City 2, and a bottle of lotion.

The best review for a California flag* that bye-haters Colorado, Texas, and the author’s home owners association.

*In the market, but sorry I’m NOT buying a California flag made in TX.

 

The celebratory gif Ann sent me after I finished my piece for TOMORROW.
