I’d like to know the thought process behind Skeleton Shirt Kid though.

Blum had stormed angrily out of a TV interview when the reporter, KCRG’s Josh Scheinblum, challenged him on the pre-screening practice, asking Blum whether he would commit to similarly limiting his pool of political donors to the district he represents. Here’s a(n also very fun!) video of that:

I don’t hate them at all, and they both have scenes I really like, but I do think they are “dumb” movies that I doubt I would’ve seen absent Jolie.

The Tomb Raider movies. I still find myself half-watching those when I see them on cable or something. It has nothing to do with the plot.

Boris Diaw has to be in this discussion.

That seems antithetical to some people, but I think that’s due to how much the debate has shifted toward “keep the…

The first part of your comment is really important, and I wish it was highlighted in the article. The debate surrounding H1-B is not just about depressing domestic wages. Dean Baker wrote a strong op-ed about this recently for Fortune that talks about the issues surrounding H1-Bs in greater detail.

Gotta love the guy who comes out to fetch the ears, sees Teddy writhing on the ground, hesitates, and then just keeps on walking.

I have a corollary that I often tell people when they ask me about economics—I am also an economics background, I guess—and it fits this story quite well.
