Only in America where an NBA owner and a comedian go to pick up a rapper from jail to take him to a pivotal NBA playoff game.

modern SAT tests if you can read
in 1926, when it was first introduced, they asked students to learn an invented language, understand the construction rules and then translate sentences back to english

BREAKING: A same-sex couple is suing their surrogate for $600K after she refused to abort their baby at 22 weeks in Canada.

Scans indicated the child had a cleft lip and a possible heart defect.

The little boy was born healthy.

That child is alive today not because of the men who purchased his life, but because the woman who carried him in her womb protected him.

Children are not commodities. Ban surrogacy now.

This Home Run Derby is missing something really important. More home runs.

Home runs shouldn’t count towards swings. Go back to the original outs format.

Don’t go unlimited on just the last swing.

A guy being able to smash unlimited home runs was incredible. Stop limiting them. It’s the freaking Home Run Derby.

From 1982 to 2004 this married couple manually created every team schedule in MLB. Not once did they create two Braves/Phillies series within two weeks of each other.

does forcing people to watch ads actually increase sales like at all or is it just companies throwing money for the sadistic enjoyment of making your day just a little bit worse

On this day in 1865, Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant.

Lee showed up dressed in his best, looking like a dignified gentleman. Grant was covered in mud after riding all morning.

Before anything was signed, the two men spoke about their shared service in the Mexican War -- a reminder that Confederates and Union soldiers were nonetheless countrymen tied by mystic chords of memory.

Grant did not create terms of surrender to humiliate the South. Grant and Lincoln understood that to unify the nation, you could not imprison half of it. Confederates were allowed to keep their sidearms and personal horses.

When Grant learned that Lee's men were quite literally starving after having not eaten for days, he ordered 25,000 rations sent to them immediately. Lee said this would have "a very happy effect" on his men.

When Lee rode away after signing terms of surrender, Union soldiers cheered. Grant forced them to stop, reminding Union soldiers that Confederates were "now our countrymen" and there would be no cheering over their downfall. (In fact, days later when actual ceremonial surrender occurred, Union Gen. Josh Chamberlain reportedly ordered his men to salute passing Confederates as a sign of respect)

Lee also worked diligently to stop Confederates from waging guerrilla warfare, encouraging them to set their arms aside and return home and in peace. He was a titan in his own right.

If the spirit of 1865 had been driven by the urge to shame and punish, the Union would not have lasted. So many people today misunderstand that and as such, they try to rewrite America history.

God Bless America.

On this day in 1895, the Supreme Court ruled income tax to be unconstitutional.

The ruling was tragically superceded in 1913 by the passage of the 16th Amendment

Could you imagine your life without income tax?
