It's almost as though it's worth looking into the history of why public education was established as a public good in the first place....

Not seeing Secretary Palin yet, so that's a positive

Now that's how you damn with faint praise!

We've got two of the Tuft and Needles, and I've got nothing but good things to say about the mattresses or the company. Seriously contemplating replacing the mattress on our guest bed with another Tuft and Needle. Rest is pleasantly firm, and I'll second the sleep quality.

Congratulations, Kenny! That kid is going to turn your life upside down, in the best possible way.

He gave a very good speech on the economy yesterday. Hillary had the father of the Orlando mass killer in the front of an appearance. Trump takes all that opportunity and does............this. It's like he can't help himself. Poor Mike Pence. Very good speech is a decidedly minority opinion. Even t...

So Trump tells a rally that if Hillary is elected, she will gut your gun rights. "By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks," he said. "Though the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know." I thought the Khan family was going to be the low...

Full thing was very good; apparently the filmmakers had thought of the potential for the formula to wear out its welcome, as the season was only six episodes long. I'd watch a second season.

I've watched the first three episodes so far. Good documentary series, although I can see it getting old before the end of the season.

Yup. As general training for people with no specific competitive goals, non-retarded versions of Crossfit are fine--as are a lot of other things. If you're preparing to compete, though, it's time to get specific with your training.

One would think this was common sense.

It's insane. It took 10 years for Ray Allen to better Dennis Scott's record by 2. Another decade later it was still only 17 higher. Then, he turns around and beats it by...106? I don't know any season records that have ever been destroyed like that. Single-season HRs. Ned Williamson held the record...

Beware of anyone who uses language to obfuscate, not communicate.

If your guru can't explain it in terms a five-year-old would understand, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Hongos was the one they were looking for. Fuck me for using the one you see on menus instead.

Spanish is a very tricky language: it has a very complex grammar, waaay too many synonyms, and irregular verbs galore. To make things worse, Spanish variants are very, very, very different among them. And I'm not talking about accents, their respective vocabularies are much different. This is part ...

So a better replacement for the smoker (which does an awesome job, but is a little bit of a pain in the ass) than the gas grill. I'm not quite understanding your question. The pellet smoker is dead easy. Just Fill the hopper with pellets (your choice of wood and they are all pure wood, no filler or...

Don't know if that ad did much for Nationwide, but my neighborhood Italian deli is pretty damn grateful for it.

Try blueberries.

Obviously the secondary coach should never work in athletics again, and the decision to transfer the two players and ban them from attended John Jay games was a good one. Looks like the head coach really was in the dark about what was going on. http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/13721638/john-ja...

This is where "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" gets us.

Thank you! We're seeing our doc for an endocrinologist referral this week. Good luck. I live in a decent sized city with a grand total of 1 endocrinologist. He's a fine doctor but wait times were in the six month range. Jesus! I'm hoping the DC Metro area will be better, but that's unbelievable.

Yeah, you want to find the seams and throw a nice tight spiral.

This is obviously. Spiking one's newborn and doing the Ickey Shuffle, however, is frowned upon.

I developed hypothyroidism and no one diagnosed it until I spent a week in the hospital for a chronic migraine (I had a migraine for six months). This was even after having half my thyroid removed because I grew a large complex cyst on it. I didn't develop migraines until the tumor showed up and I ...

1. Hold a newborn like a football. 2. Every six months, it's like you have a whole new kid, and each stage so far (mine turned 3 in July) has been the best one yet. 3. Sleep sacks are worth their weight in gold. 4. We decided immediately that co-sleeping was a recipe for no sleeping. Never regretted...

Sounds like a nice fix. Also sounds like I'll be ignoring Verizon's recommendation that I upgrade my wi-fi security to WPA2 if Rokus won't connect to it.
