I liked Ancestor's Tale, though it was serious doorstop material. Like, doorstop for one heck of a big door.

Well, depends on what you mean by "find Jesus," right?

Um, politely, go jump. I live in a world where I can turn on a TV most any time and find someone who is talking about how I will be going to hell, I am the cause of all that is wrong in the world. I live in a world where a majority or people think I have no moral center at all and am fundamentally untrustworthy. I…

Sense of humor broken, it seems.

I tell people there is no such fruit, but it doesn't help.

We seem to be miscommunicating. I suppose I'm not understanding you, though I certainly didn't think anything I wrote was "obfuscating academy-speak."

Well, I suppose I misrepresented myself. I wasn't really thinking about what happens when students don't get at first the information, ideas, or analytical techniques I'm trying to help them learn. Those things I will be as creative as I need to be, and will approach in multiple ways as I must. And I love doing it. I…

I have a cousin who is very successful engineer type - and back when he was single, there were five things in his refrigerator - Dr. Pepper, grapes, hot dog buns, hot dogs, and ketchup.

As a guy who is not exactly the most successful romancer on the planet, go jump. At some point you have to realize that the common factor in your romantic failures is yourself, and figure out what you need to work on.

Prof here. It's a malfunction some of us have. We get so used to saying, "the sky is blue," and getting back, "So what color is sky again? Or were you talking about the floor? Wait, that was last week, right?" — that at some point we just keep repeating ourselves over and over. Plus, turning off lecture mode, for me…

They'll give you some B.S. about how a classic suit looks good on anyone, blah, blah, blah. Not unless it's tailored right. Yet somehow properly tailoring a dress for any woman other than Twiggy is beyond them (and yes, I know, I'm an old, lol).

Now that's a conspiracy theory! Well done. It would be perfect if it weren't just so dang dumb.

But, but, some guy on the internet said it was from vaccines! Are you telling me I can't trust every random person I meet on the internet? How am I supposed to live my life now?

Oh good grief. Whatever the Tea Party ultras think about it, our capacity to absorb and frankly make use of people from all over the world is one of our greatest strengths. A lot of countries fail at this. We should be proud of this — but not everyone gets it, it seems.

Um, Detroit was done in by the collapse of the American auto industry. Oh and a nice healthty heaping of white flight.

Sure Cobb County is for it. It's always been a right-wing Republican utopia, and those folks always love corporate welfare. I'm sure the transportation improvements will not include a MARTA station. Lols.

If you are doing mansplaining as performance art, that was brilliant. If not, you are truly clueless.

Unless of course she meets an armor fetishist — which of course exists. And of course, that would be her fault, as we all know.

This very thing makes me nuts. The right likes to claim that only Muslims and leftists (remember the Weathermen!) commit terrorism. Apparently shooting doctors, blowing up government buildings, and flying planes into an IRS office are not examples of terrorism.
