May 6 aml commented on I Shouldn't Do This....

When I was a teenager working in a department store, a couple of the middle aged workers were talking about the bathroom graffiti. One wanted to complain to management and get them to clean it up, my friend suggested instead to take a red marker and first start correcting the spelling and grammar. After that worked, then could work on suggestions to expand their vocabulary (instead of using one particular word as a noun, verb, adjective, conjunction, article, etc.) Finally after all those lessons took root, then they could try to teach them that writing on bathroom walls was inappropriate

Its a good thing we don't use swords as weapons as much anymore.

Well, too much work will probably lessen your life expectancy, so cutting it by almost 15% must help. the book says the punishment is death, it just doesn't say how long it will take to inflict it.

How do you know this is his most embarrassing moment? Maybe he's holding onto ones that are worse.

As David Plotz said in his book "Good Book" Anyone who says someone has the patience of Job probably has never read Job. the guy complains non-stop.

@20 Changes to Google's search results usually don't switch over all at once, they will roll them out to some portion of their audience at a time and can be ready to rollback if there are unexpected results. Google has a video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5RZOU6vK… has some interesting information on how they change there search algorithm.

In some ways it doesn't surprise me that spreadingsantorum.com was a bit fragile in its ranking. In itself, it is very low in content (on the other hand blog.spreadingsantorum.com is very rich in content, kept up to date, and in other ways would seem quantifiably a high quality web site.) A slight change in google for how they rate multiple sites in the same domain would drop the ranking of the spreaingsantorum.com spash page

Besides deflecting the (obviously phony) witch controversy, I like the way she more subtly deflects the "nutty religious" controversy. She says that in Washington "she'll do what you'd do", which sounds almost (but not quite like) "I'll do what you my constituents want me to do." Where instead it could be "I'll follow my own moral compass just like you would follow yours" (even if her moral compass is pulling in a very different direction than most of the people she is supposed to represent.)

When I saw the headline "Drafting Superman" at first I thought it meant flying dangerously close behind Superman's slipstream for lower fuel consumption.

Sep 20, 2010 aml commented on What Has Christine O'Donnell Given Birth To Exactly?.

@14 et al. I'd almost be willing to believe the point of view that Christine O'Donnell's work with SALT stressing abstinence from sex and masturbation should be viewed as an attempt at social change and not attempting to force political change (and that if elected senator the DE voters shouldn't fear attempts to legislate those positions)...

Except:

She's stated that legislators inherently legislate morality. Any time one fails to vote for a law that legislate's one side's morality they are implicitly voting for the other.

If it is true that a legislator implicitly legislates morality, then judging candidates on their moral stances is appropriate, even if they weren't initially promoting those stances in a political arena. If it isn't true that a legislator implicitly legislates morality, then voter's should be wary of a politician who believes so.
