A common tactic is to have some conservative group buy up a ton of your books (as a tax deductible business expense), then give them away to people who donate to your cause (the way PBS hands out tote bags). It helps get the right wing books on the NY Times best-seller list. I don’t know how many actually get read by…

And that’s how she stays relevant and successful. She’s a shock jock. Whenever the world ignores her for too long she stokes the fires of the outrage machine.

More supportive is an understatement. I rewatched it recently and he’s an absolute turd of a boyfriend in that movie.

If a company sends you a note, you probably read it. I doubt Ivanka opens her own mail. Her assistant would probably toss the note without sharing it. Making it public may make it more likely that Ivanka actually reads/sees the note.

Uh...but it’s not 90.

My initial reaction was that it sounded odd when Nancy called Mike a douchebag at the dinner table.

It’s a great homage to the music of John Carpenter, and to a lesser degree, Goblin.

If anything “good” can come out of the tragedy in Dallas, it’s that I hope people across the country realize that we here in Dallas, (and, for the most part, the other big cities like Houston, San Antonio, Austin, etc.) actually elect and appoint pretty decent people. Unfortunately, we’re outnumbered in the state by…

Out of curiosity, I wonder how many of those “I don’t want the gov’t to know I have a gun,” people publicly post pictures of themselves with their guns to social media?

She’s likely a really smart person, but Fox viewers are mostly aggrieved white men who think women and minorities are inferior and need to be put back in their place. Fox caters to that and likes to portray women as dumb bimbos. Gretchen admits that, and happily played the part. She spent years getting rich and famous…

My take is that the knife to the head is little more than something humans do to ease their own guilt.

I was searching for articles on some story recently. Results from People popped up and I definitely and consciously thought, “No point in looking at that.” It’s a terrible magazine. Listening to this lady is like hearing someone complain about having to pick up their dog’s poop. She had a job to do, it involved a lot…

Yeah, this isn’t a Minor League team. And on the list of Independent Leagues and Independent teams, it’s pretty far down. This isn’t the Mets, nor even the Brooklyn Cyclones. It’s not even the Long Island Ducks. Attendance is probably on par with a company softball team or an average little league game.

Maybe they’re making a political point. Maybe they just think they’ve found a way to increase the amount of talent they can get per dollar spent. Maybe it’s just about PR for a club and selling more tickets. It’s probably a mix of all of the above.

Well, it’s likely that the counter-protesters were mostly NOT anarchists. The ones actually involved in the melee, that is, swinging sticks/bats and throwing stones, etc...well, they probably were. I used to hang out with Black Bloc guys and those guys in dressed in black with black bandanas over their faces throwing…

Or, Arya using one of her magic faces, disguises herself as Jamie or Tyrion.

The best research paper I have seen that deals with this topic is one regarding the Israeli Defense Force’s decision to stop allowing soldiers to take their guns home with them for the weekend (as suicide was a problem). Suicidal people could have used other methods, or just waited until a weekday, when they had…

imagine you tie one end of a rope onto something heavy. Imagine you throw the other end over a branch and stake it to the ground, lift the heavy thing up a bit and stake it to the ground. You have a taut rope holding up an object. Pull the rope from the stake side, and the heavy thing lifts up. Loose rope will coil up…

There are two fundamental issues here:

And it doesn’t even get things white! Just leaves them a pale yellow...

Kidding.

This commercial isn’t cool.
