One pair of liner gloves + insulated mittens is way better than two gloves, no matter the glove.

The problem with term limits is that it likely starts to shift power from the Representatives and Senators into the hands of longtime aides and staff members. Those positions are never going to be term-limited obviously, and a 30+ yr veteran staff member is going to have no trouble pushing their own agenda through…

Some of the quotes I’ve read from so-called faithless Electoral College voters indicate that voting against their mandate (and Trump) is as much or more about eroding confidence in the Electoral College itself, so that we might move toward a true popular vote at some point.

(ummm.... they did play Michigan)

Aside from water pollution issues, the reason that so many oppose this pipeline is that it will help get tremendous amounts of Canadian oil to market, so much so that the carbon added from it will essentially doom us to some of the worst-case climate scenarios.

This is all great and true, and you are correct that liberals/progressives would do well to stand with Taiwan over China. The problem is twofold really:

“It is nearly impossible to successfully modify the semi-automatic rifle to a automatic rifle.”

Joe Paterno didn’t even break a law. How do you throw out 50 years of good for an (admittedly terrible) non-criminal failure on his part?

Yeah because all the players, most of whom are probably enjoying the most adulation they ever will in their lives, deserve to play their whole careers at PSU with announcers reminding everyone that they are all terrible terrible people because they go to PSU.

The playlist contains examples of rainforests being carved apart, mines destroying mountains, and other natural areas being more or less permanently destroyed. I live in Pennsylvania, where we are still dealing with effects of coal mining and burning from more than a century of such practices- dead streams, acidic…

Spoken by someone who obviously doesn’t have to try to live on $7.25/hr.

Yeah, pfff who likes drinking WATER anyway

I wasn’t convinced by your awesome argument until you pulled out the Blue’s Clues reference.

For all the mushy warm feelings that I get when I read something like that, it’s absurd to put the blame on the wildlife conservation officers. Those folks have an important job: protecting actual endangered species according to best practices, as determined by wildlife biology. I don’t care if the dogs are made of…

There’s no actual evidence to indicate victims at PSU were actively silenced.

The NCAA is a small, private nonprofit corporation. They only have control over member schools according to the bylaws they have laid out. None of these deal with criminal charges, and indeed, the NCAA is woefully unequipped to deal with criminal cases. They have no business and indeed, no right conflating criminal…

I think you are being a bit harsh honestly. I remember in November 2002, when I went down for one of the huge protests of the impending Iraq invasion, Susan Sarandon was the only big name lending their voice to the movement (that day at least). She gave a great speech and was clearly knowledgeable about the BS…

More people in the US die every year from bee stings than have died total from Islamic terrorists in the US since 9/11/01.

I used to read Grantland and thought Bill Simmons was a perfectly fine sports/culture talking head because he didn’t seem to take his role all that terribly seriously. At some point, toward the end of his time at ESPN, it became more and more clear that he thought he was just about the most important and loved guy in…

Dates back to the Great Depression - most of the state/country was not doing well of course, but The Valley Between Bald Eagle Ridge and Tussey Mountain was doing pretty well (state funding for PSU) so they abandoned the previous cumbersome moniker.
