Just thought of a new slogan for Hershey's:

Yeah - it's a great idea. Get the consumers to get used to the taste of mild spoilage to hide the fact that the product is stale and might've turned a bit anyway.

It's the butyric acid they use. The same chemical that gives human vomit its smell.

Make more school administrators have to sign off on the report, and make them subject to criminal prosecution (perhaps perjury?) it turns out that they're under-reporting.

The fear of a disgruntled lower-level employee blowing the whistle and getting them charged with a crime might be enough to keep them honest.

All it would take is a ruling that their "contractors" are employees. At that point, they're just a taxi service employing drivers, and they have to follow 100% of the rules, including labor laws.

Dear Future-Underemployed-and-Indebted-Graduate Smith . . .

I'm sure he's got an equally terrible way of referring to African-American GOP members of Congress.

There's a reason that liability insurance carriers considered greek organizations one of the worst insurance risks in the country, only one rung ahead of hazardous waste hauling companies.

He's still on a tour and selling out shows.

When my wife and I were on our honeymoon, we were taking a ferry from the Vancouver area out to Vancouver Island to visit Victoria. A family of Texans was on the ferry as well. Aside from the Texas t-shirts, they spent the WHOLE TRIP OUT commenting to each other how pretty it all was, but each time one of them did,…

Geez, this guy is inconvenient for Marine Le Pen and the Front National, isn't he? Her father, former FN head Jean-Marie Le Pen made a big point of saying that the Charlie Hebdo staff were the "enemies of the FN".

Except there was no episode 5 and 6 when Star Wars came out. Lucas hadn't really worked the whole thing out in advance. Leia being Luke's sister was added later, and and Vader as Luke's father wasn't a plot twist until they were writing Empire. The original drafts apparently didn't include it - Luke's ghost dad shows…

Actually, the well-to-do, with some justification, generally feel that abuses like this won't happen to them. It takes a lot of cases like this to get them worked up.

When you look at what some of the big schools rake in via football and basketball, look at the education the athletes get, and look at things like a chance of a lifetime of difficulties due to debilitating injury (especially in football - look at the data coming out about head injuries, even at the youth or secondary…

Honestly, some of them are probably mad that he's allowed to use the main entrance.

Too bad they won't do the NY to Israel route. The Haredi who have been harassing women into changing seats so they don't have to sit next to them would have found the perfect airline.

No wisdom teeth here - my mother doesn't have them either. And it's not just "that they didn't come in" - there's no trace of them on a dental x-ray.

It's a nice mutation to have.

A number of years ago, Sheryl Crow told the "Global Warming College Tour", which criss-crossed the country visiting different campuses, that to help the planet, they should use one square of toilet paper at a time unless things are really bad. While, in the abstract she might not be wrong (if perhaps impractical), the…

Still not as bad as the dumb*** photographers who suggest / agree to wedding shoots and other work on active railroad tracks, prompting this warning.

One hint for anyone trying to help out others is to remember how much it is you don't know about their experience. You may be genuinely personally outraged, but try to focus your efforts on empathy and support, and how those directly affected are feeling, rather than on how you're feeling. Use your feelings as a…
