Just like the Mortgage Crisis, the 2016 White Sox are another example of moral hazard. Read more

The last decade, mortgage rates have been historically low and stock market growth historically high, so you really shouldn’t be paying for your houses with cash. Use it for the road trip strip clubs and coke. Read more

I’m not interested in his status as a homeowner, I’m interested in his status as a headspace landlord and/or tenant.  Read more

But further interrogation would require willingly researching and discussing the 2016 White Sox, and I don’t want to inflict that on you, or on myself. Read more

And to think, it all started with a disagreement over what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs. Read more

The guy has not even started playing for the Knicks yet, let’s hold off on any and all “worst nightmare” talk. Read more

I’m an Ottawa native and Sens fan, and I feel the need to point out that even a hobbled EK is usually the best player on the ice.

Can’t tell you how many text messages I exchanged with friends seriously worrying about the health of a person I have never met and will likely never meet. Read more

Oh my fucking god, Drew! I’m so sorry that you went through that and I’m so fucking happy you’re alive! To share I went through something milder than that last year. I had 3-4 episodes where I was shaking badly. One time when I was going to work and it was so bad I couldn’t put the lid on my coffee; a stranger had to Read more

Jesus, man. This is harrowing. Like everyone else in the comments, I’m glad things didn’t go differently. Read more
