Years ago, I was telling my far-too-naive Catholic friend that my sister was getting divorced and she was all "Gosh, I wonder what they would do if they were Catholic and knew that their marriage was forever." I just about choked on my egg salad sandwich. For fucks sake, even back then I knew Catholic (VERY Catholic) couples who had managed to dissolve their Catholic marriages no problem-o, and then remarry with the blessing of Mother Church. What a load of steaming hypocrites.

When the game starts in about half an hour, the first time the Warriors get the ball the Clips should just stand still and them score.

That would let Sterling know they can do what they want.

Whatever he's paying her, it ain't enough.

Boycotting road games would be especially effective -- I guarantee the other owners would suddenly get <i>extremely</i> concerned about Sterling's racism.

NYT has an interesting front-page take on the politics behind the saintings. Can't wait to see the outrage from Catholics who still believe it's all based on "proof" that these guys are in heaven.

Best head-desk line of 2014. Jon Stewart will have a comedy orgasm when he reads it. It's so good that Colbert merely has to repeat it verbatim.

Any woman fucking Donald Sterling had damned well better be pro-choice.

"Percolate up" is how you describe what happens when the septic tank fails. I'd say it's perfectly apt in this context.
