I’ve written about high gas prices in the past, and who seems to take the blame for them. It’s usually the person you hate the most, as they become a scapegoat for your personal hate. Never mind that oil is a commodity, and gasoline stations in the United States are private companies that charge whatever…

I didn’t watch the Oscars last night. But apparently this morning, there’s a ton of commentary on social media about Will Smith open-palm-slapping Chris Rock regarding a joke Chris Rock made about Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
