I gave up after two skips ahead confirmed that this is almost entirely a rambling lecture spoken while random film clips flash past, with little attempt to provide connections between the audio and video tracks. Much more frustrating than enlightening.

Actually, that's why Athens is a good idea. Tax Olympic nations to pay for construction, which creates Greek jobs. In a transition period, have co-host cities — most events held in Athens, but one or two big-draw events in the secondary city.

Now I really want to see the song.

As complicated as these injuries can be, I’m still surprised that veterinary medicine hasn’t come up with a solution short of euthanasia — at least for horses at a high level, where the expense would have a payback. And couldn't there be some spillover benefits in improving ways to treat certain injuries to people?

By my count, voters have “rejected” Hillary Clinton all of once, in 2008, which seems a lower number than “a few times.” Others who have lost elections or primaries at some level and then gone on to win the presidency include: Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, FDR, Harry Truman, LBJ, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and,…

I’ve never understood the whole “rough ride = great vehicle” concept. Seems equivalent to praising a lawnmower because it's twice as noisy as it needs to be and the blades are dull enough to make even regular grass a struggle. Or complaining that a new operating system doesn't stall and crash as frequently as it…

According to Vanity Fair, “Before leaving the White House, [Jackie] held a belated third-birthday party for John, whose actual birth date had coincided with his father’s funeral.” So this wouldn’t have been written before the president’s death; the party would have been held earlier if he hadn’t died. But there…

So, wait, you object to anyone “snitching” on any crime? Way to be six years old, bro.

You know Ferraro was the nominee for veep, not Prezi, right?

You’re correct that the morally consistent position, given a firm belief that life begins at conception, is to have no exceptions. That is the Catholic Church’s position. However, a significant number of those who would support abortion restrictions — perhaps a majority — have doubts about when life begins. That opens…

I presumed it was from the preachers they watch on TV.

Just so I’m clear on the logic of those who are criticizing Harper: talking trash or otherwise humiliating your opponent after you do something good = unwarranted behavior; throwing a lethal missile at someone’s head or attempting to impale them on a spiked shoe = dignified sportsmanship. Did I get that right?

Rather than changing Euro football to match an American model, I'd rather see the reverse. If MLB or NBA teams would be relegated to lower levels for poor performance, owners would be under more pressure to care about winning.

As soon as I saw the headline, I knew it would be about disbelief. The two examples I saw a n newsrooms of forcing journalists to write about first-person situations involved the same thing — a car accident the bosses thought was drunk driving, and witnessing a shooting when editors suspected the reporter had been…

They didn't force-feed dogs or ducks in Watertown, just geese. Yes, the teams are named after animals the locals tortured, killed and sold as delicacies.

I bet all the Planet of the Apes FX guys have dartboards with King Kong on them.

You called City Hall? You know things like this are what aldermen are for, don't you?

I understand your concerns; I'm an adjunct so my position is even more tenuous. But there are hills we should be willing to die on, and sexual harassment by our colleagues should be one of them. Please stop turning away those students.

There is no right reason to appear on this show.

O’Malley next VP? Chosen because of his strength at the ballot box, the demographic cachet he brings, his tremendous political smarts or just because Hillary Clinton will want to go rogue?
