Has anyone been around long enough to remember when this was Baffert's? If so, what years was that? Was Baffert's gay?

Mar 7 peterga commented on Shut Down! Ambassel Ethiopian Restaurant.

I enjoyed the food at Ambassell, but since I haven't been there since 2012, I think I'm safe from the outbreak. But it is their web site site that is most remarkable. It looks like it was constructed in 1996 from a template designed by Homestar Runner. It is not to be missed.

Right. Jared Diamond is racist and Charles Mudede knows more about historical rates of violence than him and those crazy pinheads who study the issue. This is simply the flip side of Scientific Creationism.

Imagine the tension if the guy in the commercial had said, Mom, actually it's not a white girl. In that one second, a lot of people, including me, would realize that the mom was realizing that it's NOT a real for marriage for a perfectly normal young white man to marry a, well, you know.

Jan 12, 2012 peterga commented on Florida, Ohio, and Pretty Much All the Rest.

I thought the film would have been a bit more effective if it toned down the melodramatic music, and more importantly, if it didn't leave so open the question of whether these companies would have failed with our without Bain. Yes, there were several tragic effects on employees shown and yes there was some discussion of debt shuffling, but it would have been much more powerful for me if it had some credible spokesman explaining how we could have had some confidence that those companies could have continued as going concerns without Bain's intervention.
