I miss the command. It told me a lot about how the good and bad were weighted, and then I’d actually read the review if I was intrigued (I often was).

Thank your stars you’re not a Trekkie. Our last decent game was in 2002. Our last decent game that actually captured what the franchise is about (i.e. not just shooting people) was... cripes... Borg in 1996? A Final Unity in 1995?

To be sure, the news had not broken when I posted. But remember how easily a grand jury can be manipulated by a prosecutor who wants a particular outcome — it was true with Eric Garner, and it’s true here.

>Even the so-called uncut footage was full of edits.

“...that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...”

The irony here is that you’re believing precisely what you want to, despite the facts revealed by Daleiden. Jezebel can call him “debunked” all Jezebel wants, but no evidence has ever emerged to counter most of what he reported, and even Planned Parenthood’s response to his charge of selling fetal body parts was…

Once. Still waiting. The Jez keeps saying he’s been “debunked,” but wishing doesn’t make it so. Citing a bunch of state-level investigations that didn’t even occur in the states where Daleiden found evidence of wrongdoing proves nothing at all.

Nah, shooting a fetus would be neutral, too. I’ve been arguing with Trump supporters all week, specifically arguing that he isn’t pro-life enough, and, to a man (and they are ALL MEN, man), their response has been: “Yes, I know he doesn’t really care about the unborn, but the Mexicans coming over the border vote for…

Strategy. Focus on passing more bills like HB5, or on judicial nominees, or on conscience clauses, or on Personhood stuff? The Board can help him sort through those choices.

Crisis Magazine was founded in the ‘70s to address the titular “crisis” in the Catholic Church, from liturgical abuse to seminary corruption to doctrinal compromise. It was essentially a pro-John Paul II glossy — the common man’s First Things. In 2004, its then-editor, Deal Hudson, was exposed as having an affair with…

As an I.T. guy myself, what the heck is your problem? The man didn’t say I.T. broke it; he just said I.T. can fix it. And I.T. can. And I.T. should.

Looking at the picture, I’m pretty sure they meant “week”. That’s what a 26-week baby looks like — it’s a couple weeks after viability.

My first assumption was that it was a religious school, in which case introducing the kids to abortion (and opposition thereunto) could be considered part of the school’s mission (although four years old is still pretty young — I learned about abortion at 3, but I have friends who were shielded from it until 9 or 10).

Correct. That is your constitutional right as President.

Dehumanization of human beings based on pseudoscientific/religious nonsense? Check.

I mean, it was 34 years ago, and the company that produced this game was almost immediately wiped out (partly because no one wanted to buy its stuff, partly because of the Great Video Game Crash of 1983). I like to think we HAVE been doing better.

Heck, for most of history, it wasn’t even a speech! From Jefferson to Taft, the norm was a written message to Congress, along the lines of a really long budget report. Only when Woodrow Wilson realized he could use the mass media to turn the State of the Union into a rallying point for his agenda did this dumb…

Congress has no right to weigh in, actually. “The Congress... on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, SHALL CALL a convention for proposing amendments.” It’s non-optional. They HAVE to do it, as soon as 34 states demand it. Congress just gets to decide whether states will ratify the…

Juanita Broaddrick, Eileen Wellstone, Paula Jones, Elizabeth Ward, Christy Zercher, Sandra Allen-James, and Kathleen Wiley have all alleged, at one time or another, to have had non-consensual sexual contact with Bill Clinton. That’s seven — six if you discount Ward (who never made a public accusation).

As Nate Silver keeps saying, at this stage in a 16-candidate race, favorability ratings tell you a good deal more about a candidate’s national viability than their first-choice polling toplines. (Toplines become a bit more valuable when they include a second-choice fallback for each respondant.) You cannot treat a…
