Let me tell you - between first chair euphonium, defense and prosecution lawyer for mock trial, and stage manager for the musical I hardly had to show up in high school.

Many years ago I read an article that stated spectators got the same surge of testosterone as the players when their side won. Suddenly athletic worship makes sense to me - when you're a when you're an addict the only thing that matters is your next fix.

Getting a pilots license is freaking expensive. All average persons have little hope of becoming a pilot. That said, I've skirted the argument you were trying to make.

Horrible experiment - I'd say so: no control group, no parameter control, and horrible statistics.

Do you really think it is systematic, or was that a rhetorical flourish? I'm not saying it's any less comprehensive for being ad hoc, but I don't find culture's oppression through standards of beauty coherent enough or methodical enough to be systematic.

I couldn't pass the first line without pointing out that if, Crossfire is, "the ancestral home of partisan cable TV shouting," then The McLaughlin Group is the "Ur-partisan TV shouting" show. They've never been deservedly dressed down by Jon Stewart.

I think the electorate who is likely to vote for Weiner are as willing to accept a candidate in an open relationship as a philanderer.

For a long while "Feeling Fine" was my favorite song.

I also lol'd, and then I had to explain the joke to my European wife who had never heard of the game show; at least she had heard of Carmen Sandiego because it's what I named our GPS device.

When NPR summed up the pros. closing argument as, 'this trial is about the human heart,' I couldn't help but wonder what bush league prosecutor the state assigned to this case. I understand it was always going to be a tough case considering FL's stand your ground law, but pinning the prosecution's closing on…

But it seems like you are making a distinction without a difference. She was being fired, not because she was attractive, but because she was an attractive woman. I understand an employee can be fired for their appearance, but it seems to me if an appearance standard can't be applied to either gender it is a…

I have been under the impression that even at-will has limitations, like racial discrimination and sexual discrimination. I agree that labor rights is a broader fight that is more fundamental, and would probably cover this scenario, but it's still not clear to me why this doesn't cross the protections that do exist. …

Natalie Dormer imdb page has her character listed as pvt. Lorraine. She's in the full cast listing on the Cpt. Am. movie page too.

Thankfully, the novel will be pamphlet length, so the wasted resources will be minimal.

There's plenty of new superheros in comics, but they're all in the indie press and certainly don't get animated series. Meanwhile, the big publishers are getting milk from the cows we all know, so they'll continue to milk it.

I have had others argue "Luke 1:41 When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit." implies in the womb is a baby, so it must have a soul.

But is it organic?
