Harry Reid back in the day?

I agree with you only in the sense that if scientists don't do it, it's not going to happen.

I don't know your dad obviously, but if does/says all this crappy stuff when he's drinking, then the problem might be that he's a drunk. If true, that certainly doesn't make it any better, but it might give some perspective.

I find this series frustrating in that characters continually refrain from doing what anyone with a lick of sense would do: reading Wu into the Grimm/Wesen business, telling Renard about Theresa, telling Theresa that she has to use a grown-up name.

Does anyone know offhand what the point of the egg white is in the Pink Lady?

Uh, isn't this one of banks that cost us a cool trillion in taxpayers' money to bail out? Including the taxes paid by folks in the porn industry?

It's not simply that Republicans have wasted the time and resources of the people of Louisiana is promulgating this claptrap.

Actually, the letter says:

An important point is that THE TROOP ITSELF and their parents and the church—really, everyone who's directly affected by this decision—have no problem with the guy.

Or for that matter, Ayn Rand.
