She was probably the most wanted woman in the country by the time of the shootout — for alleged involvement in (or oversight of) a wide range of BLA attacks and killings, some of which the BLA took credit for.

Huh? Is there anyone here who doesn't take the BLA's own words seriously? They were for the violent overthrow of the gov't; for killings of police officers as targets of opportunity; for armed robbery as a form of revolutionary/Marxist "expropriation"; and were allied w/the Weather Underground. No one contends that…

While I agree that conclusion isn't logically eliminated by the study's dataset and finding, neither is a near-infinite array of other conclusions... some of which involve purple elephants.

"Bring my art to bear on the project..."?

I agree it'd be interesting to see the results w/the genders flipped.

Sorry, but how is this result not cool and interesting?

Tatler? Haha, so brutal... but true!

Can't remember if that's the same entry where she wrote "waste" for "waist" or not — but she writes like a toddler using blocks: bang some random stuff together and hope it makes a noise.

I read it a few times and still am not totally clear. Part of the problem is "that" seems to refer to research activity (though w/out a specific antecedent) — but if so, the reference to car exhaust is pretty nonsensical.

"Comparing Ryan to Mr Bean is innocuous... because men are rarely judged for their appearance."

Once again, a nifty story gets stuffed into Doug's Play-Doh Writing Funnel... and comes out the other end as a ragged mess of misplaced snark, busted metaphors and sentences like crippled snakes.

Interesting - never paid any attention to the click stats til just now.

Does Anna B writes these pieces to pander to a (probably illusory) audience of fat-acceptance zealots? Or does she just read all science articles through a weird ideological prism?

Nevermind - I see the original (and its translation) elsewhere in the comments.

Anyone else curious if these ads actually went up in Arabic too — or just in English?

Scotland is easy to spot from the air — all the toilet paper out drying on the clotheslines, right?
