I think Rupert Murdoch beat you to it.

Oh, please tell me there's a link of that somewhere.

Her tactics are not exclusive to the right though. 2 years ago, everyone was rushing out to see Fahrenheit 9/11, most of which was lies and unsupported assertions. Its just that people like Coulter, Michelle Malkin, and (to a lesser extent) Sean Hannity get to maintain a level of political credibility even though their entire arsenal of discussion consists of lies and name calling. I'm not advocating Coulter's right to free speech be taken away, just pointing out that she's now given herself enough rope to hang herself with, and its time for the media to quit treating her like anything other than someone who deserves to be ridiculed.

I don't think you should see the government allowing gays to marry as the same thing as you personally endorsing of homosexuality.

Its not just the media. http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?...dpost&p=2230367

Yeah, I just my copy of Jet magazine in the Pony Express yesterday.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/01/scotus.t...ents/index.html Does displaying the Ten Commandments (including "Thou shall have no other gods before me" and "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy") constitute the government establishing, or respecting an establishment of, a religion? Or is it simply a display of a culturally significant list of ancient laws? If so, why do people feel so strongly about displaying them?

No, because the connection between the Taliban and Al Quaeda is actually valid. Not that I don't believe it, but can you elaborate a little? Remember, we were told for close to two years that Saddam also had close ties. The Taliban was harboring and aiding Osama bin Laden prior to 9/11. No one has ever disputed this, and the link was pretty well established. The only thing we don't like about the Afgan war is that bin Laden hasn't been captured yet. I think most Americans have even forgotten we're over there.

Its after midnight eastern time and nothing fucking happened today. People need to quit wiggin' out over stupid shit like this.

Maybe you could take it home in your bitchin' Camaro. And this thread could have used some Mojo Nixon. If you don't got Mojo Nixon then your thread could use some fixin'.

And now, an update. For the next 2 weeks I'll be getting ready to teach a 6 week summer school class in consumer math (aka personal finance). I have 2 partners. Both of my partners are female. Neither will be available for the next few days because they're still teaching at their regular jobs, so I'm on my own for now. Also, one of the partners will be gone the week of the 4th of July. My professor told me today that the reason she put me with 2 people who'd miss most of the first week was because all 3 of us had a lot of experience already. Yeah, more like "it never occurred to us to spread the people who wouldn't be here out instead of fucking you over." Our first class met Monday night. Our group's first assignment was to come up with a theme. My suggestion for a slogan was "Its All About the Benjamins". Then I had to explain what the fuck that expression means. Then I had to explain it to the professor, who didn't think high school kids would know what I'm talking about. Then when my partner turned the paper in, she titled it "What About the Benjamins?" Also, my partners already know each other, so they spent most of our work time (the only work time we'll have together for the next few days while all the other groups are putting their lesson plans together) gossiping. I sent them both e-mails today asking when it'd be possible to meet after their work hours, but as of 9 hours later, neither has gotten back to me.

On the bright side, at least he wasn't just passing kids for no reason (as in my statistics class from my senior year of high school). Seriously, though, I fucking hate that shit. I'm not saying I pass kids who don't deserve it, but I feel like my job is to make sure the kid knows everything he or she needs to know in order to pass. That means (in addition to teaching kids at a level they understand) progress reports on grades and missing work, test reviews, and feedback on assignments. It also means testing at the level I teach at. If I write a test question expecting kids to explain why Pres. Truman fired Gen. MacArthur during the Korean War, I sure as hell better have gone over it in class or given them an assignment over it at some point.

I think the vast majority of U.S. citizens still favor military action in Afganistan. Is there a reason we shouldn't?

My boss has nice tits. She also likes to arch her back a lot.

Let's not forget Lawrence Fishburne as Cowboy Curtis, people.

Dear Canada, Fuck the Taliban and fuck what they think. Signed, The U.S.

Off topic, but I hope you don't think that kind of behavior is representative of the majority of public school teachers.

I guarantee that's news to somebody.

^Summarizes the last 5 years.^ My wife informs me that there is some form of driving stratgey involved that become apparent if you know what to look for. Personally, I can never get past the fact they call them "stock cars" when its perfectly obvious the damn things are custom built for racing.

"Gentle pressure" Huh? MST3K reference.

You were 8 years old when Nirvana hit it big. Don't tell me they weren't groundbreaking because your knowledge of popular music up to that point was limited to whatever your parents were letting you listen to. In order to get Nirvana's appeal you have to put Nirvana in the context of the times they lived in. Until you do that, you won't understand. So, Nirvana sucked...and that's why everyone wanted to sound like them? In the 90s, there were basically 5 acts in music every copied off of: Nirvana, Alanis Morrissette, Pearl Jam, Dr. Dre, and Garth Brooks. There are bands that were more technically competent than Nirvana, but that doesn't make them better. You obviously don't get why people liked Nirvana so much, so I'll explain it. The songs focused on raw emotion, rather than preconceived notions about melody arrangments. That was something different that what people wanted. Kurt Cobain was creative, not some paint-by-numbers studio musician who recorded the same song over and over again. Nirvana wasn't Creed. I'll admit that after the intial wave of alternative music's popularity, you were left with pop-passing-as-alternative crap like Sugar Ray, Blink 182, and Smashmouth...but Nirvana (a great band) also helped popularize other great bands like Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam. An entire generation of rock music fans suddenly discovered there was something out there besides Guns-N-Roses, Warrant, and Skid Row. Then, you also have a reverse coattail affect, where older, more established alternative acts like Jane's Addiction and the Pixies benefited from the exposure that Nirvana was getting.Nirvana put alternative rock on the map in a way it never had before.

If not, this should.
