I wonder if people who are so enthusiastic about drone strikes will still be as supportive once the Chinese start blowing Americanized Texan radicals to smithereens in 2026.

Hurry up and open a Pot-R-Us store!

I suggest we start with Michael Moore shaming him on his morbid obesity.

Come on, American culture shames fat people CONSTANTLY!

@1 no, because by then Texas will be a different country, and we in Ecotopia will probably watch it on our holo glasses.

Still, Callahan, a former smoker, argued that public shunning of those who lit up led to plunging rates of cigarette use. People were asked to smoke outside and told directly or indirectly that their “nasty” habit was socially unacceptable.


What a dipshit. Shaming smokers was an attempt to push back against the longstanding cultural belief that smoking makes you look cool. Does this idiot think that our culture lauds the obese?

That's the Booker International Prize, which is different from the Booker Prize. The former is only a few years old, is given every 2 years ,and open to all.

The yearly Booker Prize (which is the one that made Rushdie, Barnes, Ondaatje etc famous) is yearly, only open to writers from the British Commonweath, and had been going on for 40 or so years.

It's time we started enforcing the laws that already exist.

We need a Heavy Hitter, to restore confidence in the market.

Meanwhile the Democratic Party is not done stabbing its own constituency in the back. Silent filibuster lives on.

"Trouble With the Boring Machine: But we were promised no tunnel trouble!"

Yes, it's too bad their quality control standards are so high that they'll catch a one-fifth-inch misalignment. I'm sure it's a harbinger of disaster.

Are "Americanized Texans" free radicals ?

Te'o is on Katie right now. 4:32 eastern time. "After the commercial, we'll hear from Te'o's girlfriend Lenay" (a voicemail, I think).
...........
Lenay calling on her first day of chemo. Blah Blah Blah, "I love you."

Te'o says, "That sounds like a woman, right?"
I have to get back to work. You guys will see it in 3 hours or so. Te'o says it was all a prank by that friend of his. Katie keeps calling him a liar because he missed all these oportunities to either see her and confirm her existence, and then later when he knew "Lenay" was lying he perpetuated the lie for months.
I'm just confused now.


Please wait...
