And that’s the flaw. It’s not about who “deserves” it, it’s about who would make a better president. Clinton and her cultists never got that.

It is amazing that you can whine about Sanders’ mild, policy-based campaign after Clinton ran a racist campaign against Obama after she’d already lost.

Protestants.

Anyone even slightly familiar with France could have told you this, but it’s nice for science to be there.

If you want to be responsible for the fate of the country, you should probably try to be responsible for the actions of your direct employees on the job.

The only possible excuse I can think of is that Protestant clergy are weirdly touchy and most of the guy’s shit was being weirdly touchy, but you’d still need to be giving this guy cultish credence to take that excuse.

Weren’t those both filmed in Atlanta, or am I thinking of a different controversy?

The Kennedy’s had a throwback idea of politics as a public service, so they make a good contrast to many contemporary politicians.

South End. Different area. There’s also the South Shore.

The extension is less than a month, meaning that there’ll be an immediate opportunity to retaliate if he reneges.

It should probably be noted that the deal also secured long-term funding for SCHIP, meaning that anyone who criticizes this deal officially wants sick children to die.

At least for Boston, it looks like the bid was more self-aggrandizement than incentives, insisting that the taxes are worth it because of how much better the city is than everywhere else. As far as I can tell, the biggest giveaways would be displaying a welcome message on the Prudential centre and hiring on more staff…

Eh, at least with Indians, the medical immigration was due to a particular economic situation that I believe has ended. Not that the detail is all that important in the discussion. I’m just given to tangents.

This is an even stronger trend in Eastern Europe, where Africans are stereotyped similarly to Asians in the US (particularly strongly-accented twenty-something Asians in college towns). This is because the Soviet Union marketed its medical schools aggressively to Africa (I think subsidizing the cost even more than for…

NPR did a story about the rape kits a few years back. Apparently, the police have the kits but decide they don’t need them because they already know who they’re going to arrest (cases where the issue is consent rather than who did it). They started changing their tune when a department tried an all-cases policy and…

I think she might be saying that people shouldn’t force women into the victim role in a rush to destroy some guy or organization, as you see the “shut up you’re a victim” thing every so often.

She threw a hissy fit over having to show up to work on time.

I want to say that was the Romanian childcare budget being overwhelmed by all the new orphans, although the Soviets were crazy enough that I can’t say they didn’t run that test somewhere.
