@14 Yeah, but for awhile they stopped airing the WTC Simpsons episode after 9/11. Doesn't Whitney Houston deserve the same respect?

No?

Sweet! Heard any good Whitney Houston jokes lately?

If I recall correctly, the Stranger was pretty much on Nicole's case a few years ago as a scab when the Times writers were on strike. so much for that legendary "total recall" she fretted so much about.

I wish the owners of a lost dog in S. Seattle who found him over a month ago would take down the hundreds of laminated signs they plastered around our neighborhood. Harley, I'm glad you're home, but if your owners pick up after you as poorly as they clean up their own messes, I'll be stepping in your shit soon enough.

Goddamit, even the fucking Cramps warned against eating stuff off the sidewalk. Wise up.

Still recovering myself from food poisoning while in Beijing last week. Of all the fucked up places I ate that should have made me sick, it was a BLT from Subway that almost killed me. I'd hashtag it on the twitter or something, but I don't think I'd want free subway sandwiches for life.

Banksy is Get Christie Love? You under arrest, Sugar.

Feb 7 diggum commented on If the Point Is Simply to Hand Out More College Degrees, Why Bother With the Courses at All?.

I attended a presentation by Ng this week and he completely sold me on Coursera as the future of higher education. The courses are built and refined continuously and while the "no teachers" thing is a bit misleading, the opportunities for discussion by other students, past students, and experts are all there for those who want it. Through extensive analysis, they can quickly identify problem areas and improve the experience almost immediately.

I have found Coursera to be a better experience than the official online courses offered by WSU, and as mentioned, the opportunity to connect with leading experts is often simpler on the Internet than it can be in real life.

There's a Bearded Clam bar down in the Ozarks, near Branson as well. Imagine seeing your grandmother wearing a "Bearded Clam Charity Fun Run" t-shirt when you go visit. Awkward.

dark green and yellow, all the way!! Classic Sonics colors, please!

That neon-green trend of our other sports teams has GOT to go. So ugly.

The Constitution is a living document and we've addressed several amendments over the centuries to take into account social and technological changes. We should obviously not approach changing our Constitution swiftly and without considerable thought, but as much as I enjoy shooting guns, I believe we need to take a long look at our laws and the impact one's "freedom" has on others. If your freedom merely annoys me because I don't like your words, no big deal since a careless word does no damage. But if your freedom directly puts my or my families lives in jeopardy since a single careless mistake very likely ends one of those lives, that adds significant weight to the calls for change.

I wish the people who had time to complain about these stupid things would spend their time making versions they deem appropriate. Then, when both sides are good and busy, we smush em and just be done with the whole nonsense.
