lol. ok ayn rand.

can you buy a house in NH for $120k?

is that true about the number of beds? i used to volunteer in a homeless shelter in an urban area and at the time it was a known epidemic that there were bed shortages everywhere in urban areas.

sure, why not? “king” is meaningless.

i think redford’s argument is that ichiro is the “hit king” because it’s a meaningless title, so you may as well include his hits in japan. he’s got the most elite-level pro baseball hits, so “hit king” works. “MLB Hit King” would be incorrect.

i also think it’s worth pointing out the difficulty ichiro had to face in leaving japan to play in the u.s. lots of u.s. players try to play in japan and can’t handle the cultural differences in the game. ichiro just rolled right along.

no whip what? a latte doesn’t have whipped cream. have you learned nothing in life?

except that a liberal arts major knows to put the period inside the quotation marks.

it also taught you how to write, how to analyze arguments, how to sift through lots of information and distill the key elements. assuming you paid a shred of attention and were a good student.

Of course a college major matters. There are plenty of things wrong with the college system in this country, but organizing your studies around a particular field of knowledge aint one of them. I’d argue that entitled students and recent grads deciding that they know better than professors and administrators what…
