Wut? Try both

No, it doesn't. The two days after Labor Day (at least according to previous school year calendars) were teacher prep days and administrative days when the kids were not in school.

barlychew U R so dumb. I mean even the dude in Memento used some photos.

*DING* *DING* *DING* WE HAVE A WINNER!

It looks like that "300" number is just the women and girls who were 1. raped and/or murdered 2. along the bus routes 3. with similar MO ...

Looking at last year's calendar they wouldn't have done a day and a half anyway. The kids didn't actually start school until Thursday last year.

Actually when I looked at the calendar there is NO additional time off. The two days off this year are the same as the two days off last year. Last year classes didn't start until Thursday (the Tuesday and Wednesday after Labor Day being Teacher prep and administrative days). It might feel like an extra week off but…

OK. I Googled. They always have Rosh Hashanah off.

True. 1. I don't understand how the NYC summer programs didn't calculate for this. It isn't like the school year schedule is kept super secret until your decoder ring turns blue and it is time to return to base. This stuff is published ahead of time. 2. I wonder where they are pulling the time from. There are state…

Yup. I was going to say ... it feels nice to agree with JLo about something ...

What I'm seeing is corn fritters meeting Xiao Long Bao.

Yeah ... it is really unclear what is actually being said.

Actually it looks like WaPo got it wrong ... from the opening paragraph of the actual paper:

Possibly. I don't know exactly where NYDN or TMZ got the $3,500 figure or how UCLA Medical Center does their billing breakdowns, but yes, that $3,500 figure could very well include medications.

I want to start by clarifying that I am not defending a $3,500/day price tag as reasonable.

My first thought too. I actually didn't even read the headline before clicking through. I just thought "oooh! is that a porcelain heart? Maybe this is about how I can buy a porcelain heart... oh. Just not-even-clever homophobia."

I just can't wrap my head around that. Of my lady friends I am the only wine drinker and I only really started drinking wine in the past 5 years or so. And just because I drink wine doesn't mean it is my preferred alcoholic beverage. Beer still wins that race by a landslide.

The cab/car service driver for the pleebs isn't going to make a video and sell it to TMZ. I'm not saying that you are wrong just that, along the lines of "judgement is the first thing to go," you have this famous person thinking "I'm shithammered. The gossip rags would love this. Must keep it as quiet as possible."

Was it even still readable? There is a reason that those tests say that they are only valid withing a certain amount of time of the peeing.
