The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? The one founded by known muslim Ahmet Ertegun? What is the RNC doing there? It is practically a mosque for hedonism, godlessness and sexual promiscuousness! What did they expect??

I’ve never seen it myself, but my understanding, strictly from the aquaria profession literature, is that the Vancouver Aquarium has two separate exhibits at the airport. I have been assured it is there, though others on this thread think “aquarium” is a bit of an overstatement. Could be. But the point is, someone has…

Isn’t that what an aquarium is? A big fish tank. Well, add some labels for interpretation to make it official. I have never seen it. I only know that it is a satellite of the Vancouver Aquarium I learned about at a conference.

No. Canada. And truth be told I have never seen it. I did sit through a presentation about it at a museum conference. That’s all I know about it.

I think they’ve already done that. Vancouver Airport if I’m not mistaken. They could do it MORE of course, but it has been done.

Twuthers?

Look no further than the nearest schools NCAA “compliance officer.”

At first I was going to point out that “Publican” means someone who owns a pub. Then I looked it up and now I am just amused:

Yes. So let that be a lesson. hang around NCAA basketball practice sessions looking for the dead bodies of players who choked to death on greatness.

Why isn’t nibbling on mediocrity the obvious choice here? If you choke on greatness, you’re dead unless someone can perform a Heimlich of effectiveness. I’ll be nibbling on mediocrity for decades after your corpse is helping worms gnaw on incompetence.

His own personal logo?? Jeebus! The ego. It burns.

All I learned is that Buzz Williams is earning every bit of his cut of VT’s Nike endorsement contract.

That’s not entirely true. In my local stadia there are both on-duty and off-duty personnel working the games. Mostly off-duty inside, but a few on-duty, and overwhelmingly on-duty outside directing traffic, patrolling the city streets where pedestrians walk through local neighborhoods. It’s also my experience that the…

I respect your opinion, but disagree.

That would be a better example of this phenomenon, I would think.

I never said this was a reasonable response. I said that the tendency of the police to be delicate flowers and react offended at even the most gentle criticism is a legitimate observation, but this specific incident may not be the best example. This really is a horrendous image and I can see why police, rank and file…

You’re probably right. But I still stand by what I said. We would never stand for even this type of grandstanding from ANY public sector union, nor should we.

I think your point is generally a good one. This is not the best example, imho. While I do not think that threatening not to do their jobs is appropriate of ANY government worker based upon a citizen exercising his first amendment rights, I do think that police are not off base in being outraged by this. Activism,…

No. They aren’t taking his side. At least not anymore than standing up for the KKK’s right to march or the rights of accused murderers and rapists all the rights afforded them by our constitution. As despicable as this image is, he has a right to post it. And the police still need to do their jobs. Can you imagine any…
