  1. I live in Georgia, but don’t watch much tv. YouTube ads have gotten pretty violent describing Walker’s past though. They ran with the lying stuff for a while and now have switched over to the violence. I assume it’s an anti-Walker campaign, but you never can tell anymore. They’re putting it out there, but I couldn’t tell you what’s on tv.
  2. Texas - 2 Bama - 0 An errant snap on the first drive leads to the only score of a brutal slugfest. Texas blocks a gimme field goal as time expires. Surly melts down all game long. Quinn - 100 total yards but he begins his secondary career as an all-American punter.
  3. I finally listened to the speech. I hope this type of talk continues. Get it out in the open. The social pressure to pretend that there isn’t an active pro-Trump terrorist movement is madness. They fly their Trump/Bin Laden/ISIS flags in front of their houses and we’re supposed to be polite and invite the terrorists over for a cookout or something. I had my doubts about Biden, but he’s handled this big stuff very well — starting with the election denying in the run up to the election.
  4. Gun pedantry aside, how fast a speeding bullet goes is only a “very sensitive subject” to a Kryptonite-addled Superman. Orphaned alien lives matter.
  5. Slorch’d: my wild speculation based on working in higher Ed. If you were to poll everyone in higher ed, you’d likely find that they tend to lean left — although it’s more conservative than you’d think. You do have professors willing to discuss politics and come from wildly different angles, which seems like a plus in education. I suspect that K-12 educators are pretty much representative of the population with one exception. As a whole, they are likely more concerned with the issues their students are facing and will face. You’re probably more likely to be concerned about LGBTQ issues if you know that students you personally care about are suffering. You’re more likely to be concerned about hungry students when they’re your hungry students. If that makes teachers “the left,” it seems more like an indictment of the right. The institutions themselves, particularly K-12, seem quite conservative to me.
  6. I ordered a club sandwich, but I'm not even a member. "I like my sandwiches with three pieces of bread." "Well, so do I!" "Then let's form a club." "OK, but we need some more stipulations. Instead of cutting the sandwich once, let's cut it again. Yes, four triangles, arranged in a circle, and in the middle we will dump chips." "How do you feel about frilly toothpicks?" "I'm for 'em!" "Well, this club is formed."
  7. Both of these. The demonization of certain majors isn’t a stand for pragmatism, it’s a symptom of a dying culture that’s openly antagonistic towards education. It’s also a massive red herring.
  8. My wife went to school on a Pell grant and had a bit under 20k remaining on her loans. Today’s a good day.
  9. Nice Penn State gear during the four-limbed arrest.

    LBGTQ

    Not for anti-LGBTQ or prudish reasons, but if my wife ever asks me to go see that movie, I might have to start a marriage counseling thread. That looks horrifying for reasons not at all related to who’s groping whom.
  11. All I read from the article is that schools are required to display donated signs containing “In God We Trust.” It sounds to me like it’s time for a consortium to commission a series of patriotic great works of art — be they cartoon, MS Paint, Photoshop, or other mediums — to foster a love of country among our youth.
  12. Everyone should read Midnight’s Children because it’s an amazing book. It’s like a great symphony in novel form. It’s VERY dense for a westerner, but if you’re willing to go along for the ride, it’s worth it. Everyone should read The Satanic Verses because of Iran’s endorsement. It’s a very good book, but any book that causes a fatwa and bounty demands to be read.
  13. 1. Train an AI that will crank out thousands of different strips a day. 2. Write a script that will submit those strips. 3. Profit. 4. Pay me a small licensing fee for the business model.
  14. Long day flipping coins. It made sense before I edited it. Not worth the trouble to fix. More coins to fix
  15. I’m no math whiz, but if I labeled a coin with one side D and the other R and flipped it each Presidential election to predict the winner, the odds of getting it right each time would be 1/1024. If instead of just 1 coin, I flipped 3000 coins every 4 years, I’d probably get a few coins to predict every election. “Belwether” coins if you will. Would those few coins have predictive qualities the next election? If they failed to accurately predict the next election, would you assume fraud or just a dumb way to predict elections?

    LBGTQ

    Great artists steal.
  17. 1. That picture of Jim Jordan is a perfect match for the headline. 2. What type of mailer do you use for such an endeavor? 3. Half serious, could that be prosecuted as terrorism when sent to politicians? Will the BM bandit take a trip to Gitmo? 4. FedEx would have just dumped the fecal parcel in the Reflecting Pool and called it close enough.
  18. Matthew 23:4 “They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.“

    Shit My Kid Says

    We had lunch today at a little mom and pop place in our little town. The door to the back dining room was closed with a sign saying, “Closed, reserved for larger parties.” The lunch rush filled the front dining room up, so the server opened the door to the back to let more people sit. My kid asks, “why is she letting people back there? Because they’re bigger people?”
