Presumably so do plants and animals, but I don’t think any of those is why France is maintaining its hold.

It’s actually where they do their version of NASA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guiana_Sp…

Are you kidding? She was factually in error and had done away with all nuance. She had to apologize to save her career prospects and professional reputation because her whole job is to do the exact opposite of what she put forth in her tweets. When your profession is to be an expert in a field and you publicly expose…

This perfectly illustrates one of the principle failings of pop-feminism and pop-critical theory. You’re completely ignoring the intersectionality at play here. While, as a black woman, she is less privileged than the ‘problem population,’ as a professor, she is not. In fact, she is more privileged. She is in a…

True, but that’s not at all what she said or what you said above, and that’s the issue here. Being kinda sorta right isn’t the same as being actually right. And while that’s not a huge deal as a member of the twitteratti or Jez commentariat, it’s a big deal when you’re supposedly an expert.

Except that she was wrong on some counts and supremely lacked nuance on others, and it’s *by definition* her job to be an expert at employing nuance in addressing these topics. She absolutely was right to apologize, to her colleagues in the field if not to those she offended.

Um, St. Patrick’s day is a big deal in Ireland. He’s the patron saint of the country, and in Catholic cultures the feast days of patron saints are generally a big deal.

These weren’t sage comments at all. Her job is to train students to employ nuance and critical thinking in addressing and analyzing the complexities of social phenomena, and she utterly failed on that count. Being half-right isn’t good enough when you’re a prof. Being hyberbolic and being right in spirit but wrong in…

Given that the job that she just got hired for and hasn’t even started yet is to help guide and shepherd students through difficult and complicated subject matter, she’s absolutely right to acknowledge the lack of nuance she employed on twitter and apologize for that. If she wants to have success in her field, she’s…

She isn’t even a professor yet, and she has 1 publication in a not top-tier journal to her name. She’s hardly a leading figure in the field.

Just insist on eating halal and that problem will clear right up

So as long as people and websites you like are benefiting, things are cool, and if people you dislike are benefiting, they’re not; that’s your rubric for judging things?

A lot of wrestlers used to wear them during the heyday of the 90s. I’ve heard that Hogan carried pot in his, which is really funny to me.

He used to be REALLY into fanny packs. I think that’s the worst dirt on him.

He’s probably a Republican for the same reason Charles Barkley is:

And SVG was the perfect coach to maximize what Howard brings to the table

Perhaps this will free up Weisbrod and Byington to move up in the broadcast world to something more prestigious, like an internship at a public access station or hosting a podcast.

And that line is the seat! Just draw an imaginary little border from where your seat ends and extend it forward. That’s your space. I have a 36’’ inseam and bowed legs, so if I can make it work and not be an asshole, anybody can.

Every priest can undo the excommunication

They still do indulgences, but it’s not what most people think. Say you go to confession, lay out your sins, priest hears it and says you’re forgiven, now go pray 40 hail Marys and 80 Our Fathers. You counter with, hey, priest, I just 2 years of aid work in refugee camps and just donated a wing of a hospital. Priest…
