Dow vs. Susan: Constantine performed better this time, as he and Hutchison faced KOMO’s “Problem Solvers.”
Also Offensive To My Sense Of Humor: Immigrant rights groups want “illegal alien” costumes pulled from stores. Get it? ‘Cause it’s a space alien AND an illegal immigrant!
No Dresses For The College Boys: An all-male college bans cross-dressing, referencing “five students who are living a gay lifestyle.”
Escalating: A suicide bomber kills five Iranian Revolutionary Guard members, likely as part of a Sunni insurgency.
Stimulus For Science: Should we fund research if it doesn’t create jobs immediately?
Old And Incarcerated: Some prisons are starting inmate-volunteer hospice programs to deal with a larger geriatric population.
Part Of Me Wants To Say “Awesome”: A mild-mannered Port Townsend man’s secret identity? Bank robber!

Bottom-of-the-post Sunday Sports Roundup: Victory for Sounders FC assures postseason slot, UW football blows it in the final minute, Seahawks vs. Arizona at 1 p.m. today
Yeah right.. .Dow performed better. When you perform better than miserable, your performance can still be average, and it is better than your previous performance.
Susan still won the debate. She is much more photogenic, has a better presentation style, and her answers sounded far less scripted than Dow’s.
Net win for Susan.
Nice play on words to try forming the opinion though… cute use of words.
Dr. William Bynum, vice president for Student Services at Morehouse College and the man behind the dress… ban, needs to have his academic credentials checked. Everybody knows that wearing a dress isn’t necessary to “live a gay lifestyle,” though in some cases it’s the icing on the cake.
And WTF–no bare feet on campus?! That’s one of the joys of college life! If Dr. Bynum wishes to create a factory for a new wave of conservative prigs, he’s well on the way.
I don’t know about conservative prigs, Rob, but it’s obviously his intent to create corporate shills. There’s an amazingly long list of other things that are banned also. But then, it is an all-black college, you know. Gotta make sure those students know their place.
“U2 jackass”? The Stranger just gets more self righeous and holier-than-thou every day.

Rob(duh); you know NOTHING about Morehouse College, do you.

ditto FTW
sometimes in an effort to be snarky and hip we just end up sounding stupid.
@1: Do you type that out without even slightly giggling at the absurdness of what you’ve written?
By “more photogenic” did you mean “watching the beads of sweat on her face via my 42″ HDTV looked awesome”?
Is it true you’re married to a Hutchinson advisor?
It would be my very great pleasure to hire a dress-wearin’ Morehouse grad for an executive position, or vote him into a judgeship or Congressional office, just, you know, to stick it to the Man.
8 but rob!, you are the man…
@7
Did you even watch the debate?
Not even Slog claimed Dow won.
He could have done a lot better than the debate before and still been pathetic.
Sorry, a few glistening beads of sweat won’t save your boy.
How is Bono a “U2 Jackass”?
Please explain it to me Unpaid, really.
I’m serious.
saw a susan commercial this morning. it was really freaky how much she enunciated certain syllables. “Fiscal” came out like Sylvester the Cat was doing the overdub. (It looked like an overdub because the speech was not well-sync’d, either.)
sincerely,
diggum
Bank robber dude is pretty hot. I’d hit that.

Sorry.
Diction won’t save your boy Dow, either.
Hipster dictionary:
Popular celebrity who uses fame as a soapbox to promote philanthropic causes = jackass.
Bono lacks two critical ingredients for coolness: Obscurity and nihilism.
Morehouse College doesn’t seem to realize that the more you ban or forbid shit to 17-22 year olds the more attractive it becomes….just like rebellion.
@7 I didn’t feel the need to respond to this post, as it was clear that @10 took care of my light work.
Nope don’t work for anyone in politics sorry…
my statements stand.
Susan won both debates hands down, and any objective critical review of the performances would back that up.
Morehouse College is right next to downtown Atlanta. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a guy in a dress- or at least killer pumps.
I find all this focus on black males and their wardrobe choices pretty funny. I watched white guys I went to college with going to job interviews in wrinkled khakis, scuffed shoes, and ties over button up shirts that really were not dress shirts. Teaching people how to dress properly can be done without instituting dress codes. There is no reason to dress up for class. There are reasons to dress up for job interviews and work.
I am so tired of these sorry excuses of skin coming to our country and complaining about their rights….here is the deal….we (the white people) are actually the minority….if you are black or mexican and you go to the department of human services with 15 children….you are guaranteed to walk out with food stamps medicaid and a welfare check…If you are white…you have to jump through fire and perform a miracle and MAYBE you will get some sort of benefit. Since when did it become ok to have the NAACP (national association for the advancement of colored people)–by the way..if we say colored people…we are racist….but it is not ok to have the NAAWP (also know as the KKK. And since when did it become ok to have a college for all blacks….but if we had an all white college…some gorilla would complain that we are racist…..and since when did it become ok for mexicans to bitch about a costume that is meant for fun and yet they are condoning illegal immigration…some of us have to PAY for our own education while the so called “minority” goes to college on our dime via taxes…and then they steal the very jobs from us because corporate america feels that if they dont employ the “minority” that they will be sued for racial descrimination…….I think that america needs to take their stand and take care of their own for a change…dont get me wrong…i have a lot and i mean a LOT of mexican and black friends…..that feel the same way I do and I also feel that there is plenty of white trash out there…we dont have time in our days to be politically correct any more….If mexicans, blacks, asians, middle-easterners, etc..dont like what we have to offer and what the USA was founded on…than get the hell out…and that includes our president…
