A 15 year old with a gun, $5000 and a large quantity of drugs HAS pulled himself up by his bootstraps and knew exactly what he was getting into. Probably several of his friends died the same way.

Don’t be dissing my Marianne! She created my favorite piece of newage, the one that I most wish was true: that I am powerful beyond measure but just afraid to show it. 

“what kind of life and employment could she possibly expect now?”

When the prime example of your industry - being a con artist - is the President, then there are no limits. She is a credit to her trade!

Only certain people’s children, and only after we’ve shredded their parents.

It may be a looooong time - we haven’t even brought samples back from the moon in 50 years.

As my mentor used to say, “That’s why they make different flavored jelly beans.” Don’t buy one if you don’t like it. It’s absurd to point out what’s superior about the small design then rail against it.

I am sure the scientists would want to do a DNA-level analysis, but there is zero chance that they will be able to. They are not sending equipment that can do anything so sensitive. They will be basing their judgement on visual and chemical clues, like finding that something is using oxygen or producing methane, that…

I don’t think that the discovery of bacterial life on Mars changes the Fermi Paradox (or more accurately, the Drake Equation) at all. Rocks from Mars have been found on Earth and Earth rocks have almost certainly made their way to Mars, so it could be a simple case of contamination between extremely close neighbors.…

A confession: in L.A. we had these big glass kiosks with huge gorgeous backlit transparency posters for Fleabag season 2. Late one night I was driving and saw a kiosk whose glass had been smashed (I swear it wasn’t me), so I pulled over and stole the poster! And I am not ashamed.

Wait a minute - she thought it was her own apartment but she had to go outside to get the apartment number? I don’t really care what she thought, any way. I hope she fries.

She didn’t mean it that way? Will someone please tell me how the fuck she DID mean it? And then she says she realizes she needs to rebuild the trust from her students? I think she needs to rebuild her career by scrubbing toilets!

Back in the 50's and 60's there were commercials with doctors touting filtered cigarettes as “improved” because a wad of asbestos had been stuck on them. How about we do better this time around and not wait for tons of people to die, m’kay?

The only panic here seems to be yours. Have you got nothing better to do than defend an addictive carcinogen aimed at children? The damned things are candy flavored poison.

I wish the two of them would slash each other to ribbons.

Apple is working on a quantum computer, but it uses a different plug than anyone else’s.

If you’re that rich, why not betray your race and side with the white money?

Now that we’ve had several years to consider it, I am more convinced than ever that the current shitstorm is McCain’s fault for allowing barf puddle Palin to be his running mate. It set a new low from which we shall never escape.

Correct. And then his shitty wife will get a talk show and make additional millions.

What a horrible enterprise you critics are engaged in, screaming your unhappiness as loud as you can. Get a life.
