typically the person working the grill station isn’t standing there with a thermometer taking temps on every piece of steak—they do it by timing and feel. And, some say that using a thermometer causes the steak to lose moisture (which sounds like an old wives tale unless proven otherwise).

Also like Bush in that he’s kept a very low profile after leaving office. Aside from a few documentaries, he hasn’t become a full-fledged lobbyist or talking-head on cable news. In this particular case, he does lend pretty significant legitimacy within the group that’s typically been most resistant to reform, since…

Or maybe he’s warmed up to the idea, now that he’s retired and has more time to spend with his daughter and son in law... http://gawker.com/john-boehners-son-in-law-does-not-look-how-you-think-h-479766717

This piece also seems like the kind of thing that inspires apathy in voters, casting our world as a dire situation that’s always been broken and cannot be fixed. Although all of the issues you mention are real, we still do have the rule of law (although we could use more, not less of it) and a representative…

And that’s what bible colleges are for.

Wait were there people saying that Cooper is awesome at step? Or did he become internet famous because he’s kinda goofy: his facial expressions are hilariously angry, he has a 90's bowl cut, and looks like at least one of his grandparents is a pair of Dockers? He’s the next Star Wars Kid, which is probably the kind…

What exactly is the issue here (regarding professors’ supposed liberal bias)? I’m sure that many of my professors in college probably voted democrat (and the more conservative/republican ones would always joke about “you liberals” and then we would get back to a serious discussion of the material), but nothing ever…

yes—both in this case, and generally. The unemployment rate in Wisconsin has indeed gone down during Walker’s tenure as Gov, and there have been steady increases in the number of private sector jobs in Wisconsin during this period. However, the rate of growth in private sector jobs in Wisconsin lags the national…

Regardless of whatever conversation Constand and Jackson may or may not have had, it’s hard to imagine that anyone could be consensually drugged and then consent to engage in intercourse. And, it’s hard to imagine how these accusations could be treated as false when they seem to fit into a pattern involving many…

unemployment is typically those who are not currently employed but have looked for work in the past four weeks. If you stop looking for a job or drop out of the labor force, you’re not considered “unemployed” by the BLS.

Once the mashed potatoes start flying, Hannity’s viewer base is going to starve. It’s one of the few foods they can still chew.

Although let’s see how long he sticks around. He’d be an easy character to have alive in one episode, and have already died of a heart attack (or opiate overdose?) the next episode.

Well at least these people have stuck their necks out and revealed themselves. Now let’s make sure they’re all investigated, lest they try to copycat their hero. I can almost understand why some people felt sorry for the Menendez brothers—at least if they believed the stories about their father abusing them,…

And yet Jeb! is still less of a miserable failure than both Donald Trumps, Jr. and Sr. And more decent of a human being, despite the fact that he’s still an asshole and was a bad governor of Fl.

Honestly, as much as Amazon is blamed for killing brick and mortar retail, I’m not sure it’s actually the case. Most brick & mortar retailers kinda suck, and don’t create good in-store experiences for their customers. Many retailers also built way too many stores, and even without Amazon would have had trouble…

Jeez—even though Trump’s base doesn’t give a shit about non-white people, they’re typically big believers in property rights. I would think that being shot and killed for holding a cell phone in your own backyard, black or white, would at least be an issue that Trump and his base might care about, even if they tried…

And apparently, if results are suitable as evidence, they’re not wrong. Whether it’s tapping into the general antipathy towards politicians (especially in federal government), fighting for “socially conservative” policies (read: faith-based) against things like gay marriage and abortion, or demonizing liberals as…

Let’s just keep in mind throughout this entire discussion that The Wing is a for-profit business. It may be also be community and safe space for women, a platform for activism, and many other things, at least at the moment, but it will always be a for-profit business. Most for-profit businesses, no matter the lofty…

I’m sure I will support a lot of her agenda as well, and perhaps she will surround herself with smart, capable and non-corrupt people (although where do you find non-corrupt people that also have experience in NY State politics?), but a background in activism is not necessarily executive experience, the ability to…
