seriously... Stop defending illegal immigration. It’s illegal. It shouldnt be tolerated at all. No matter what. The only ones I feel should be allowed to stay at this point are ones who have established families where they have kids that are citizens. Those ones should be safe because your legal system took too…

If Georgetown had any balls, it would have brought Iverson in.

is the 32BJ Union related to the Pen 15 Club?

But was it a sandwich?

“actual legitimate social science”

Well, you can simply look at the list of degrees and see why they want a union. There isn’t a single degree there that qualifies you to be anything other than a tenured professor or barista or Gawker blogger.

Can someone reset the “Days since a Deadspin article about unions” counter?

That’s also the way I describe Hamilton Nolan articles (generally along with “unmitigated garbage”)

Unions are great until you have any dealings with the corruption, nepotism and self dealing of union leadership and then you think, “yeah, fuck those giys.”

It’s not a zero-sum, either-or world, Nolan. Museums contribute to the collective good and cultural enlightenment of humanity, and the homeless can obtain a vodka-choco-tini and chicken-pesto panini at the Met Roof Garden for $39.50. All thanks to the generosity of billionaires.

But some of us don’t really like socialism. And we’re not even billionaires. Or even millionaires.

Let’s make a deal. Get rid of every unnecessary government agency, expenditure, subsidy, tax break and handout. Basically cut everything that is not essential to the operation of the federal government. Then, get rid of/stop enforcing laws that don’t need to exist. Use the budget surplus to pay off some of the…

Do we take their money before or after we eat them?

That’s just journalist Clark Kent. Is he some kind of hero? I’ve never thought his Planet stuff was particularly heroic, so unless he has some kind of secret identity that nobody has told me about, I don’t see what you are getting at.

You’re absolutely correct, Hamilton, journalists are not heroes. Everybody knows that it is the copy editors who are the true heroes.

“Pardon me?”

A few years ago my home was broken into and I was robbed of my jewelry. My grandmother’s charm bracelet. The bracelet my dad gave to my mom on their first Valentine’s Day together. An engraved watch my parents had given to me when I graduated from high school. A set of gold bangles my Auntie bought for me in India to…

I don't think so. The author uses Christianity (since it's what they are most familiar with) as examples of why they accept the study. But the study itself doesn't seem to be focused on any particular religion. Just religious vs. not religious.

In other news, Jezebel once again makes the peculiar mistake that religion is a synonym for Christianity.

Leo X, according to some PBS docuthingee, would throw lavish parties that featured boys jumping out of giant bowls of pudding. So, he may only be the 253rd best pope in history, but he was easily Joe Paterno's best defensive coordinator.
