That was Jameis Winston after, uh, losing to Oregon. Thankfully he's never been on a diet.


The Sixers are so bad that their sponsors give away stuff when they score 90 lousy points, which is basically like the entire rest of the league, every night.

We had people over and I saw a friend absent-mindedly lean on the top of the fridge, only to wipe his hand off on the napkin he was holding. Shit, I can't remember the last time I cleaned the top of the fridge. It took me two more weeks to finally get up there.

It took many years and many, many poorly executed freelance assignments to come to this conclusion, but eventually I realized that as a poorly trained, completely unseasoned writer I totally overused hyphens, especially when it came to compound modifiers. In this case, "middle class" is a noun, and a very common one, almost as common as the subject itself. YOU DON'T NEED A FUCKING HYPHEN. The weaker argument for hyphenation — "clarification" — doesn't apply here either: there's no such thing as "class economics," so notating that it's not the middle form of "class economics" is no reason to hyphenate. That the president puts this out there makes me distrust his interest in actual "middle class economics." Besides which, the middle class doesn't have endless hyphens to spare — quit trying to hog them all.
