Apr 23 i don't know commented on Examining Reactions to Rape in India and the US.

So I don't get the colleges/universities thing. How do they convince sexual assault victims to go through the college judicial process rather than calling the cops? The worst that the school can do is expel them. The actual justice system could potentially send them to jail. Actually, that's probably a two part question - who is trying to convince the victim to go through the college judicial process rather than calling the cops? I mean, I get that the evidentiary standards are probably lower in most college judicial systems, but it also sounds like most college judicial systems are subject to more personal whim and less oversight. I'd guess that the answer to the second question is college administrators trying to keep their Clery Act numbers down, but that still doesn't answer the first question.

Apr 18 i don't know commented on Drone Protest vs. Slog Drone.

A terminator future? Drones are worse than atomic bombs? There may have been some people with reasonable and lucid objections there, but it doesn't sound like it.

Apr 8 i don't know commented on Carrie or Rush: Which Looks Less Interesting?.

You could not be more wrong. Rush is about the 1976 Formula One season where James Hunt was trying to topple reigning F1 champ Niki Lauda. Their rivalry was so intense that after a near fatal accident at Nurburgring, Lauda was back racing within six weeks (still undergoing skin grafts for 3rd degree burns!) in order to keep Hunt from getting too far ahead. They were neck and neck all season long, and the championship wasn't decided until the last race. They were totally opposite but both fascinating personalities. For Ron Howard to make that into a bad movie, he'd have to really try.

Mar 18 i don't know commented on The G-Men Have A New Site Devoted to the Gardner Thefts (Everybody's Favorite Unsolved Art Mystery).

What's most amazing is that if you go to the Gardner today, they just have blank spots on the walls where the stolen works used to be, and a tiny placard noting that the previous occupant of the space was stolen.

@14, the older ones are far prettier. I think the Maserati Mexico may be the prettiest.

And I've never seen one driven by someone over 50 or even slightly Russian.

Jan 30 i don't know commented on Afternoon Read: Two Journalists, One Story.

The thing I don't get about the Ray Lewis story is how, despite Lewis and his two friends being charged and tried for their respective crimes, everyone still a) thinks Ray Lewis killed the victims, b) calls the case unsolved, and c) ignores that the men who were charged with the killings were acquitted because it was self defense. How does this disconnect happen?

Jan 15 i don't know commented on I Made a Playlist of Hockey Songs Just For You!.

@7, it's Hawksley Workman's "Hockey, the Greatest Game In the Land".

Jan 6 i don't know commented on Apparently, It's Time for Football.

First of all, yes, it's an incredibly racist name. We've been asking the owner to change it for years, he's a douche and refuses. Second, 14-0 and its still the first quarter. Now will Seahawks fans start taking Alfred Morris seriously? Because he's running all over the defense you are so proud of.

Dec 28, 2012 i don't know commented on Nancy Thinks We're Being Too Mean to People with Guns.

Goody, you are why the left never wins. We could take a winnable stance and go for a meaningful change, but assholes like you have to take the my way or the highway stance and be such jerks about it that you drive away the folks in the middle who would agree with us. A little bit of moderation and we could make some progress, but apparently you prefer ideological purity and making fun of this woman who might otherwise support reasonable gun control. So the next time you are talking about why we can't get any meaningful gun control passed, think about why Nancy isn't interested in helping anymore.

So the worst hurricane to hit the east coast in forever and oyster creek makes it through fine? Seems like a great advertisement for the safety of nuclear power to me.
