The Hall of Fire

Or lets it be known he would like to not be put in a box.

Yov-- Given your philosophical leanings, I'm would be surprised if you bought into the "Rise and Fall of the Asshole" theme (great name btw). It seems like it's about the most anti-libertarian trope imaginable. Not because libertarians are assholes! No one has a lock on that distinction. ...

What V-man said. The White House certainly knew he might well turn down the offer, which is one reason it was leaked before it was, in fact, made. That doesn't make it disingenuous, it makes it flexible. Sometimes these situations are like Schrodinger's Cat: their exact nature is indeterminate unti...

Steven Universe . It helps to have a twelve year-old. It also helps (but spoils) to look at its extensive write-up on TV Tropes, which helps to explain why it's like the potato chips of TV--each episode is only 11 minutes, so you can always watch just one more...and each little cartoon episode give...

Sanders called Planned Parenthood and Human Rights Watch "part of the political establishment," which is pretty tepid as insults go, and though poorly worded, not an indefensible observation. They are certainly part of the larger left-leaning political establishment of which Hillary is th...

The takeaway I have from the article on the caucus event is that people see and hear what they are prepared to see and hear, based on their personal context. Even if there were some people shouting "English only" the context in which Huerta heard it is likely not the context in which they...

There's a good examination of how the myth of the "English Only" chant came to be, for those who enjoy watching train wrecks, at: http://studentactivism.net/2016/02/21/the-evolution-of-the-myth-of-the-sanders-english-only-chant/ I believe McCain was and is a decent human being at heart, w...

Saw a bunch of movies at the Film Festival I went to in Huntington Beach. Mostly shorts, mostly good, some really memorable; two features, one time-travel thriller that disappointed me (but to be fair, they run about a 95% chance of doing so) and one rom-com that was solid. I wondered why the secon...

It means it ceases to exist as a political entity: no mayor, no council, no police, no fire department. It would become an unincorporated part of St. Louis County, who would provide the civic services it formerly provided. All property owned by the city would be...well, now it gets tricky, dependin...

a mostly black and Hispanic police force was policing a very white area I suspect there would have been similar problems. You know, if there were actually some place in the U.S. where this was even remotely possible, I suspect this discussion would be very different. The fact that it's not makes th...

The interesting thing to me about that test--my results didn't surprise me and wouldn't surprise any of you at this point--was that strongly agreeing with a candidate on a small number of issues seems to carry as much weight, potentially, as agreeing across the board on most issues, but not being t...
