Bleakly hilarious:

Or is the right interpretation of the Florida law that in every altercation whoever kills his/her opponient is, by definition, acting in self-defense? I would appreciate knowing that for sure: if that is, indeed, is the case (which seems to be the only explanation why Martin fighting Zimmerman would matter at all), I would do my best to avoid ever finding myself in Florida again, as a matter of personal safety.

I must have written something like this before, but stop trying to ingratiate yourself in that way. It's cringeworthy.

come on, be easy on the kid, he's 15.

That's the whole point. I'm trying to reduce his future embarrassment.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Maybe this forum isn't as fun as it was or something along those lines.

Happily the doctrine of 'personal attack' has yet to be extended to such absurdities.

OTOH, blowing a horn for Gerard Kennedy as a "Grits' only hope" at this point is like blowing a horn for Myspace as the be-all and end-all of social media at this point.

I come from a country where the election debate moves timeslots due to a cooking show.

And a note on waistcoats:

A waistcoat with a deep buttoning stance as part of evening attire OPPRESSED DOMESTIC SERVANT

A waistcoat with a high buttoning stance as a part as informal attire ODD BUT COOL IF IT'S VOLUNTARY

A waistcoat with a high buttoning stance as part of evening attire FIRING SQUAD VOLUNTEER

Corrected that for you.

But didn't Hegel tell us that thought moves through a cycle of thesis/antithesis/synthesis, where the synthesis takes elements of each of the preceding notions, in something akin to the following manner?  And did not Karl Marx dictate that, in addition to ideas, entire social and economic classes can and do operate in the same fashion, and that that is the base of history?

Thesis: Obnoxious Obama Hacks
Antithesis: Obnoxious Romney Hacks
Synthesis: 2012 Board

Simple dialectical materialism, the science of history.

Beautiful.

the bradley effect:

1. now responsible for the statistical margin of error and/or arbitrarily state-specific

2. happens backwards for mexicans

I will confess to actually laughing at that one.

I thought it died in a car crash some years ago?

- James Delingpole, climate change denying right-wing journalist, standing as an Independent campaigning against wind farms.  I'm not sure I see the point of the OMRLP candidacy any more.

More and more I think the Republican Party has things it can learn from the Forum on how to be more successful in the War on Women.
