‘Too Close’ by Next, a song literally about getting a boner whilst dancing.

You are right. They ARE paid. Which makes the whole “we can’t pay athletes because then they wouldn’t be amateurs” argument so stupid. The only difference between the NCAA and its defenders and everyone else on this issue is that everyone else thinks the payment of athletes shouldn’t be artificially capped. Let them…

I prefer Hutt Swag

This doesn’t look like that big of a deal — especially considering that it may be the only penalty that comes from a woman’s death — but it’s pretty important. One of the big issues I’ve had with the few prosecutions of police that have occurred in the last couple of years is that the accused’s buddies are…

There better be a half-hour dedicated to this dress.

I work with someone who just graduated from Wheaton in May. She had a hard time at the school, as you can imagine, but absolutely loves Hawkins. She said a lot of the students were also really struggling thereas so many of them were sort of forced to go there or came from very sheltered backgrounds and were starting…

I think it needs to be declared that sex of any kind with an on duty law enforcement officer can not be deemed consensual due to the obvious power dynamic. Maybe at least then they would stop using that excuse.

Many young people attend Wheaton because they have had a conservative upbringing and don’t imagine educational alternatives. As they mature, they sometimes question what they’ve been taught and the rhetoric around them. In these cases, it’s incredibly valuable to have a faculty to turn to who can help reconcile faith…

It matters as far as her income. It matters that an employer can’t mind police some general thinking on a college campus, of all places. It matters as far as forcing students to understand and acknowledge some basic historical and theological facts (that three major religions do, in fact, believe in the same God, even…

And how many rape kits are still unprocessed because “gosh, we don’t have the funds for that”?

I can’t find any examples to share, but my mom (a hardcore Catholic in the Baptist South) used to scoff at local churches that had cornerstones reading “Founded 33 A.D.” Her thinking was “we were here first, bitches.”

So she’s putting up with administrative bullshit and harassment to be the one voice that her students hear that isn’t part of the dogmatic echo chamber of a school like that... and you see that as a bad thing? You’d rather those students hear nothing outside the school’s intolerant worldview?

Catholics are of the devil! /s

People like having money to pay for things and such. And some of those people might have to take opportunities they wouldn’t have otherwise under different circumstances.

Halfway across the country, a professor has been fired from Florida Atlantic University for writing that the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax to influence the passage of gun control legislation.

You literally can not make clothing for anywhere near the same price as you can buy it. The economies of scale just don’t match up, even if you just count supplies and consider your time “free.”

That assumes my wife or I have the time to sew. I’d more likely follow one of the other’s suggestion about joining a second hand clothing group. At least then the guilt of having cheap clothes is spread around.

What can I say? Macaulay could get it.
