Yes, Yale has their own police force (see [publicsafety.yale.edu]); they carry guns and badges, have full powers of arrest, and are licensed by the state of CT. (And in my opinon, they are more in tune with campus life and student needs than the New Haven police force.)

To be used together? That sounds ... interesting.

This is a new take on an old practice: In college, I often walked down the street while reading. I got good at occasionally glancing up and was never in an accident, fortunately. And as with texting, I don't recommend driving while reading.

Clothes don't cause rape. Rapists cause rape. Why is that so fucking hard to understand?

Surely not with a donkey? That would be truly perverse, for a right-winger like Santorum.

Couldn't agree more. And if I didn't, your phrase "an enigma wrapped in beige tissue paper" would have convinced me. I will, by the way, be making heavy use of that phrase.

For weeks I've been saying that Herman Cain is a clown. I'd like to apologize to clowns everywhere.

Cheese makes me happy.

Exactly. Not to mention the line: "We need jobs, not intellectual theories ..."

I think we have a fundamental misunderstanding here. You see it as the lowest common denominator. The Republicans call that their base.

Wow, you guys are right, I never thought of it that way. He's probably never harassed the vast majority of women. He's probably never harassed 99.9% of the women in this country!

And this Connecticut transplant would like to take this opportunity to point out that we don't want to claim him any more than we have to, either!

Yes! We love doing this in our household. Also works great for broccoli and baby carrots (throw them in together in the same pan). Any root veg (love butternut squash, especially this time of year) will work great. Also easy to make in large amounts as an easy side for a dinner party (always a big hit). I get really…

"The New York Post leers as only they can ..."

This is bullshit. Sex crimes are crimes and crimes should be reported to the authorities - cops, not self-appointed counselors. It's the same mistake many colleges and universities make in setting up their own internal Executive Committees and other disciplinary boards. There are some (non-legal) issues that can or…

My company set us up wtih nifty Keurigs on each floor (enough for 400+ employees) and everyone was happy. Then the economy went to hell and they got rid of them and went back to big pots with coffee filters (and saved over $30k/year).

Happy to help! Hope you feel better.

I once smoked a joint that had a brownie hidden in it. I really didn't appreciate the extra calories.

It's the subtlety of their humor that I admire.
