The water for some of the venues (sailing, rowing) is polluted with sewage. “Shit-soaked” is about right. It’s also believed by researchers that a single infected individual started the epidemic in Brazil. Having that many people travel there, and then return to places where there are mosquito species that can carry…

This is heartbreaking. I hope she’s ok. Can’t imagine what her family is going through, even before she went missing.

Unless he’s got her on video doing it, I think there’s a good chance he’s throwing paint at his own house and blaming her for it. I’ve known a couple of people who have had the “awful neighbor doing intrusive renovations that go on way too long and constantly cause problems” situation, and the three cases, the awful…

It’s at least 50-50 that he’s chucking the paint at his own house and blaming her.

Letterman used this one during “small town news” on the Late Show. It’s from Ames, Iowa and Dave’s observation was “A Tracker’s Dream”.

Finally realized it when I saw the headline again this morning:

That’s priceless. Is there a single Trump-associated product or service he’s mentioned in the last year that he hasn’t lied/been wrong about?

I’ve long argued that there’s a hardcore subset of PETA that seems to hate people more than they care about animals. I think I’d have to put her in the same category.

And RI is 83% white, which makes a difference as well.

There’s a strong, strong trend. The exceptions (states like Oklahoma, Hawaii) are all open primary states.

Alaska has a large Native American population. What’s the voter turnout in those communities? I honestly don’t know, but I’d love to know what the demographics of the Democratic primary were.

States in the high…

Yeah, basically it breaks down to:

1) As you approach 80% white, the state tends to swing for Sanders. The higher you go, the more for Sanders it goes.

Has Sanders won in any state where less than 76% of the population is white? Based on that, he’s not going to win in California or New Jersey.

Frats and sororities get their insurance through the national chapters. They do this because private insurers won’t touch them - they’re literally only one step better than toxic waste transport companies in terms of insurance risk.

If this chapter can’t line up the insurance, Yale ought to revoke any recognition of…

The entire event is a joke. The WHCA gets most of its annual revenue from this $3,000 / plate dinner. Eight years ago, about 60% of their revenue went to scholarships, as of recent filings, it’s down to about 21%. It’s a level of shameless self-importance that even the Oscars have trouble matching.

I did enjoy Bob…

It thought it was great, too. And I think he went easy on them. Blitzer is like a news matre d’, Don Lemon is awful, and nearly to a person CNN, MSNBC, and Fox are staffed by useless tools.

The only time these assholes have any chance of being uncomfortble during a normal year is this event. So it’s great when the…

I’m not a huge fan of the blues either - but it’s because they don’t require more force to press them down. They’re still not as good for typing as actual buckling spring keyboards like the old model M or the Unicomp models.

I’m glad they eventually showed the animal-themed parking map. I couldn’t figure out the “Giraffe” “Rooster” “Bear” sign combo around the 3:30 mark.

My wife had this done a year after we got married. She’s not quite 5' 2", and was a similar size. She’d been uncomfortable as long as I’d known her - backaches, neckaches, bra straps cutting into her shoulders, etc. After the procedure, it was fantastic - she felt SO much better.

My wife teaches high school photography, among other things. She’s got tenure and 15 years of seniority. And still, she flips through photography books, says “Hey, that’s great for my classroom” and finds an abstract Brandt nude or a fairly tame Mapplethorpe, and it quickly turns into “Nope! Can’t use that as a…

They didn’t need to leave an empty seat for Elijah. Rubio’s doesn’t count as occupied, as he’s an empty suit.
