Peonage really sounds like something that would have been brought up at the R. Kelly trial.

The more I hear about Obama, the more comfortable I am voting for him in November.

The class speaker at Harvard Law this year was a Sikh. His speech was about how part of the reason he tips well is because he knows his actions may very well represent what people in general think of Sikhs.

So using that representation theory, Disney is saying that Sikhs don't have the "Disney Look".

Since people would probably think having the "Disney Look" is positive, not having the "Disney Look" is probably negative. So... Sikh = somehow negative.

Yeah, I can see a problem here.

The real tragedy here is with the money he spent on A Matter of Interpretation, he could have bought jambalaya for a girl with new jeans who is stuck on railroad tracks.

ATL needs something akin to a Drudge siren for things like this. Maybe marching gavels, styled like the marching hammers from The Wall.

Anyway, there's a part of me that thinks the decision is less monumental than people are treating it as. A city/state can't ban handguns outright. But it *can* still regulate the hell out of them. Yes, if it went the other way it would have been huge. But not this way.

Oh man, it was a /b/tard...

I'm surprised he threatened to bring a gun, instead of just CHARGIN HIS LAZER.

I hope he gets attacked be PedoBear.

How many hummers to fill up a Hummer?

I still don't see any reason for prostitution to be illegal. Sex is no longer connected with love, marriage, or even procreation. You wanna pay to screw? Pay to screw. The government shouldn't be involved.

Huh.... Clarence Thomas isn't on the top 50 list.

Wake up, queer AG
Oh, what can it mean

I don't see this as a big deal. I doubt whoever sent the memo was just called "dibs"... someone must have said to send out a memo in advance. And this is in advance.

And if it's policy like 90 is saying, then this entire discussion is pointless.

Yeah... real hilarious that a first year is doing what they were instructed.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

See, here's the problem. A numerical scale is, or at least gives the impression of being, a ratio scale. If you do absolutely nothing, you get a zero. The difference between a 4.0 and a 3.0 is the same as between a 3.0 and a 2.0.

This Epic Win/ Win/ Meh/ Epic Fail scale they're proposing doesn't really strike me as being a ratio... it's more of an interval. "Pass" is better than "Low Pass" but is the difference between "Pass" and "Low Pass" the same as between "Low Pass" and "Fail"? If it is, all you're doing is pegging the grade to a number, and going right from a 2.0 to a 0.0. Nothing's really changed.

And if you're not doing that, then what's the distribution?

On the other hand, this way you're taking something subjective ("this was really good work, but not spectacular...") and instead of forcing it arbitrarily into a small category ("...I'll give it a B+. Or should it be an A-?"), you're keeping it subjective ("...this is easy: High Pass!")

Who's "Craven Moorhead?"
"Well, apparently you are, Trebek!"

Now I ain't sayin' she's a gold digger...

Sterilize the parents.
Euthanize the kid.

"radical homosexual men" as in "the square root of homosexual men"?

As a non-lawyer, there's something I've never understood about gay marriage:

Marriage is essentially an omnibus contract, granting a lot of rights and responsibilities in one shot ( I am probably using 'omnibus contract' wrong, but you know what I mean).

Why should the State give a crap what the genders are of the people signing this contract?

Granted, I am one of those people who believe that all marriages performed by the State should be converted in to Civil Unions, and leave "marriage" to whatever religious groups want to perform them. At the same time, religious groups could then perform "marriages" that have no legal standing, just as Bar Mitzvahs and Confirmations have no legal standing.

Saw the video on Fox. A stroke, no question about it.
