For all his faults, John McCain would never fuck w/ his cookie suppliers, unlike a random San Diego crazy who is presumably also conservative. And crazy.

Yep. Pretty much everything about this gives me a headache.

Yeah, I didn't click through to the article until after I commented. Poor reporter.

She tried to give a cellphone cover that has a picture of her husband to a reporter as a gift.

Teenage me would have loved the shit out of this coat.

This is really well-written and interesting. I love it when stuff like this pops up on Jez.

Care to elaborate on what you mean by 'paying the freight?' I suspect you are falling into the common and tired trap of thinking of collegiate degrees as specific 'training' for a specific future employment, which is flatly not the case in most cases.

Just to chime in here that you're going to need stats for any worthwhile anthropology program, too.

Ooh, I like Benny! It's on the list. The list is kind of out of control now. I have a feeling this is going to be a multi-day process.

Nice.

Would you believe that's already on the list, and for the same reason!? We are freaks, I'm sure this will go into spreadsheet territory before we finally settle on a name.

Lol, Roundabout is hilarious, it's definitely going on the list.

You and I are sympatico! I've been plumping for Albert all day, but no one else agrees. :/
