Houston's NPR is 24 hour news. Maybe they meant the last commercial news radio station. Honestly, I didn't even know there were 24 hour commercial news radio stations.

It also does shows like This American Life and America's Test Kitchen, yada yada. So it's talk, but not all news. At least that's my take on it.

Agreed. There are also at least two AM stations that call their format News/Talk. In fact, that's normally where all news radio stations live. I think this might be a non-story decorated as a crap-on-Texas-again story.

Don't worry, though, there's no such thing as rape culture, and women should feel totally flattered and not at all threatened when men hit on them.

What a tragic thing to have happened. I hope her family can mourn and find peace.

I'm guessing the reward for each question was reduced by roughly 20% as well.

Check yourself, Mark. Octopi are ADORABLE. They're also incredibly intelligent and they will one day be kind rulers once they've enslaved humanity... I mean... uh... YOU SAW NOTHING, HUMAN!

1. Did you notice how perfectly Scooter Guy executed the "getting rid of the scooter" move?

2. These guys are gonna get allllllll the girls* at Transylvania University.

3. I would totally drink cheap beer with these guys.

To everyone saying it is just a joke: That's the point.

I don't think so at all. The physical burden of the mattress is strenuous, sure. But think of how walking in with a mattress will disrupt every class she goes to. How much room it takes up in an elevator. How it will slow/block traffic on a stairwell. Hell, how many people will be made uncomfortable by asking…

Thank you. I used to travel regularly with a boyfriend who was a very leggy 6'5" and I never heard a complaint about someone reclining in front of him — and he was no shrinking violet. Maybe it has something to do with the way parameters and rules are treated in Germany. I don't know.

Preach. I am 5'4 and do not typically recline my seat, so I don't really have a dog in this fight. But what makes the whole argument so odd for me is that it's almost impossible to make an argument for either side without sounding like a hypocrite, mainly because no matter which side you come down on, it comes down…

Seriously! I'm a short person, so the neck-rest thingie is at the height of the back of my head and forces me to tilt my head forward for the whole flight unless I recline the seat — it's incredibly uncomfortable and gives me neck and back pain. And at 5'3" I'm actually the average size for an American woman — so it's…

The skies are becoming a hotbed of hostility because we are encouraging it. I know the Talls and the Leggies are upset about the loss of knee-space on planes. It's no reason to constantly post articles claiming that any Recliner should be kicked, spit on, verbally assaulted, poked, whatever. Flying sucks (unless you…

Flavored coffee is disgusting but is anyone else getting excited for all the pumpkin beers that are about to be coming our way?

That's because, by formally opting out, they're tacitly permitting someone to help women afford contraception, and God is not down with that.

No one's slick as Gaston

These little boys keep on dying, unarmed and on their own

99% of my Twitter feed is talking about this. It's incredible what's happening. I am beyond words. The pictures are especially telling. The tear gas smoke, the guns trained on protesters. I wish I could post one, it's of two protesters with their backs turned that have red sniper rifle dots on their backs. (Edit -…
