    The Masters

    In an effort to combine threads here, I was just thinking of what goes through the mind of a suicide bomber and wondering, if they could somehow convince me (an atheist) of the chance at eternity in Augusta in April with, say, 72 of the 102 combined Miss USA and Miss Teen USA (virgins or not...

    The Masters

    I watched on Saturday and Sunday but not primarily for the golf which can be had nearly 24 hours a day on cable (though I grant you this year's Masters had interesting personal confluences). Call me silly, but I think Augusta, Georgia in springtime is one of the most beautiful nature shows on...

    The FCC Soak SNL's Cork

    Glad you enjoyed it. :D I did a quick google on "soaking cork" Sunday morning after the skit and found 5 references, all of them industrial, none of them related to SNL. That's 5 on the entire Internet. Bet that number starts to rise quickly in the next few weeks. Like the "Colonel...

    The FCC Soak SNL's Cork

    Good points, although the billboard issue might be solved easily enough (as with similar conundrums) by respecting the ownership rights of those whose property must be taken for roadways, with some contractual consideration given for esthetics on the remaining boundary property, if it's that...

    The FCC Soak SNL's Cork

    I agree that we ought to be able to enjoy living in local neighborhoods that align with our personal values. A couple points, though. First, it IS government that exacerbates these problems when it moralizes beyond the boundaries of providing remedies for the infringement of individual...

    Miss USA - 2004

    There's no accounting for taste. Or, put another way, to each his own. That said, I liked California and Oklahoma.

    The FCC Soak SNL's Cork

    This past Saturday, April 10, Janet Jackson (yes, of superbowl wardrobe fame) was the host on Saturday Night Live. Naturally, there were the expected puns and references regarding her and her family. But I thought the show found its historical stride when Lorne Michaels, his writers, and the...

    How do C students get into Harvard Business School?

    I think most elite schools have a variety of ways to admit students that don't meet their academic requirements. Athletic scholarships (though not in this case) are common. Bequests certainly open spaces. Alumni children often get preference, if not a complete pass. Affirmative...

    How do C students get into Harvard Business School?

    How? The same way Hillary turned 10K into 100K trading commodities with no ability except... ... wait for it ... They knew someone. :cool: So what else is new?

    The Rice Testimony

    The trap here is the emotional pull to continue in the same vein, rather than simply stopping it. It is a matter of focusing on essentials. The essentials of the first post were pure vile. The essentials of my post were to share my thoughts about the creature who posted it and inform it...

    Why do some people have (multiple) aliases in ET?

    I don't know how cost effective it would be for Baron to vet new subscribers. Charging would be one way to reduce the nonsense, but as others have pointed out it's his business model and it apparently works for him as is. Technical solutions seem equally farfetched. Cookies and/or tying a...
