I’d like to see Hunter College High use the money to add a required ethics class that every student has to take.

I suspect many of these Republicans would also be OK with a post-bombing installed government handing lucrative oil contracts over to Dinoco.

I’ve still got mine - including the Death Star, the original Falcon, etc. They’re all pretty beat up. So I’ve let my kids play with them and they got a lot of enjoyment out of them.

I’d agree - the ONLY way I’d give them any benefit of the doubt is if she (or an assistant or household manager) has a habit of scheduling visits from various services/contractors/whatever, not always notifying the security staff, and then throwing a shitfit if the person or persons get delayed by security. I’m also…

I’ve been waiting for this. I was maybe hoping for something a little more fitting (perhaps a long, painful, incurable, lingering illness only manageable by use of a ruinously expensive drug), but this just fine. Christmas came early.

In some ways, if the secure a conviction, seeing this turd getting judged by society…

And really, they can’t even martyr themselves properly. It’s so lame. Fauxtyrs. Flayed, burned, mauled or hung martyrs of bygone times are rolling their eyes from beyond at the lame attempts to wear the cloak of martyrdom over this issue.

Geez, that’s really, really, really adorable. I have to go spend a few minutes looking at some of Diane Arbus’ photography now.

Nice article. We actually got out kids some of the Sesame Street OLd School DVDs to provide some non-Elmo content.

I can’t imagine praying hours a day for your kid unless they had a serious physical illness, or they were torturing animals or engaging in other cruel / evil behaviors and you're concerned for their mental-well-being / immortal soul. Whatever your worldview is.

The minimum sentence for any illegal action that leads to a wrongful conviction should be ten years, or the numbers of years served in prison by anyone wrongfully convicted - added together.

There’s got to be…

This coming from a group that had to self-insure, because the insurance industry decided that frats were only one place better than toxic waste haulers in terms of risk.

It the rate should at least be a hell of a lot higher than it is, and the threshold where it kicks in shouldn’t be as high as it is.

The Blu-Ray version of Casablanca is spectacular. I got the 70th anniversary collectors’ edition set at Costco last year for $25 (it’s normally $45 or so). It’s gorgeous.

Oh, geez. At least she didn’t attribute it to a “guardian angel”.

You mean when her division was underwriting billions in financing to new companies to buy Lucent equipment - and there was no way they’d be able to pay it back?

I like the donation idea. But what if they’re terrible to you and liberal? You might need to make a donation to a cause that makes you queasy if you really want to prove the point. Also:

1) Burial plot, someplace they wouldn’t be caught dead in. Expensive, but nothing tells someone off quite like that. And if it’s…

Pessimism? Isn't this just being a realist?

He was about a week early - guess he wanted to get a jump on the “offending people at Thanksgiving” tradition.
