Why would you suggest that the WB cartoons selling war bonds could be viewed as "reprehensible" then or now?

Wrong. It's just plain ignorance. It's like calling out the God of War games for their naming conventions. Seriously — what kind of name is Zeus.

Those are the names applied to particular shoe and belt and hat designs sold at American fashion retailers, not popular given-names around the Kennedy compound. As in, they sound preppy to non-preppy people.

Employees should get paid out before unfilled orders. You disagree? Or is your entitlement more important than somebody's paycheck?

You don't know what you're talking about — but that's fine. I won't explain all the legal concepts involved because I don't have time to educate you, but as a pragmatic solution: just use a credit card, and make the card issuer wear it.

The lower middle class pays no income tax. Am I missing something?

So.... are you seeing anybody?

Ugh. Messiah? Seriously? They're just trash.

Ugh.

No, they're really not.

My day. Ruined.

The people who are really into them say that you basically have to pay three times as much on speakers to make them sound as good — and that seems to be about true for me. Some people buy really expensive receivers and floor speakers; think about much they could have saved to get a good pair of cans.

You need to get out of the friendzone, Chief. Lock it up!

I have faith that our children will be mad-excellent hackers.

Hasn't Chinese culture always been kind of "flashy" — and related to face and prestige? I mean, other than the Communist-era's earnest efforts to reverse things (with futility), isn't it just part of the culture?

It is what it is, brother — who pays $300,000 for a car? Who pays $100 for a video game? Who pays $200 for a pair of basketball shoes?

Dude, you know nothing about finance and corporate governance in Japan. You're just ignorant; the opposite of what you're saying is the truth of it. Their economy has been in shambles for over a decade because of an unwillingness to let market forces have their way with failing firms. Sorry to be blunt about it, but…

Strongvpn does a great job for me — [www.netflixoutsidetheusa.com] has some details. It's a bit wonky trying to get things to work on the console, (requires a little bit of futzing) but it's tooooo easy to get things rolling on a PC or tablet or phone.

I don't think Texas is awesome, but thanks for staying classy all these months later. Cool story, bro!

I enjoy candles, but I've come to rely on electricity.
