Blazing Saddles could get by as a movie, because shit like Saw and Django Unchained are made. But something like All in the Family would never make it pass a network's screening process. That's...

Mongo just a pawn in the game of life.

The press has the distinction of being the first mention in the first amendment and (I think) the only private sector entity mentioned in the whole constitution. To me that would raise the standard...

Whew...



You and me both, Pat Leahy. I hope it's that they think AP has the cell phone to a dragon that shit pure gold and pisses refined crude so that our economic and energy problems are...

Money in college sports is too big a can of worms to even make a dent in. Check out the size of some of these figures: http://espn.go.com/ncaa/revenue The breakdown is only for 2008, but check out...

See, you're confusing an action with its motivation. This is exactly what I was talking about in the assumption of good faith. I bet you that the sudden appearance of any huge number of...

Seems like forever ago that I posted this, and the thread has moved on, but no -- I'm not equating two completely dissimilar things. However, I am noting that we can generalize investigation methods...

If I can jackhammer through mikey's sarcasm, I think he raises a good point (though I am not certain of the veracity of his claim).

To me, the narrative is not one of corruption but of...

You want Euclidean geometry. To be honest, most of what you learn isn't going to be all that helpful, but the process of writing proofs using the postulate-deduction system is a very important one. ...

I really strongly agree with that sentiment.

This has the makings of a partisan witch hunt, but if I were an IRS administrator with two brain cells to rub together I'd recognize that these newly formed, well-financed groups are a place where a...

That is so awesome. I wish it wasn't ridiculously expensive. I mean, I don't have anything better to spend money on but just on principle...

In all fairness, it was a different government entirely that lost it from the one that I had to buy it from -- SC state versus federal.

The real comedy, for me, was that I ended up having to go...

A few years ago I mailed in my birth certificate to get a passport and it was lost. I had to buy(!) another one, and it took two weeks to get to me.

You should go back to the rhetoric about stepping up to yellow lines for bread rations... seems more reasonable and less paranoid that way.

You're not alone, but Alex Jones isn't much company from what I hear.

Ha, I'm with Mark. They've got my name, SSN, picture, and probably the volume of my rectal cavity already. They've also had this for a long time and the sky hasn't fallen.

Man, what is with you and not seeking advice? Asking opinions isn't the same as blindly following the dictates of someone.

I agree that Roe was a really horrible way to resolve the issue; SCOTUS isn't good for resolving political issues at all and Roe was particularly sketchy. In fact, I'm not even sure how a question...

Are you kidding? We do nothing but argue about abortion in this country. It has nothing to do with political correctness, except that's a talking point that seems to be brought into every...
