Imagine a world where she had a point.

So many misperceptions here! Oxy is way up in NE LA, in the neat little village of Eagle Rock, fast by the Highland Park border. It’s near downtown LA and a quick enough trip to Silverlake and Echo Park, but all of those neighborhoods are rather recent destination developments. The west side, with or without a car, is a haul. Pasadena, is a short trip and the Colorado St. bus will get you from Eagle Rock Blvd and Colorado to Lake in about 20 minutes tops.

Obama, when he went to Oxy, most certainly went to Casa Bianca, because everyone goes to Casa Bianca.

I’m an atheist too, but I think it’s an awful practice. I know the person is dead, but then at least the family should have some consent rights for something like that. I look at it this way, how would it feel to your family if, after you die, someone renamed you? That someone took something you self-identified by and changed it, even posthumously, is presumptuous and disgusting. It’s like desecrating a grave.

Have a very delicious day. Is Mr. T gonna dress in his traditional birthday French Maid outfit?

“An academic tied to Jeremiah Wright…”

Yeah. By skin. Bell wrote about being disappointed by Obama in 2008 when he condemned Wright, rather than agreeing with the rev’s basic critique about American society. That is, as far as I can tell, their only real link other than, of course, their blackness. Which is central to their point, naturally.

And unlike cancerous law professors like Wine Box and Goober over there in Knoxville, Bell actually sought to produce lawyers committed to good things like social justice and fairness and not…um…pure evil.

I guess with their charm offensive on women not producing the desired results, they’re back courting the minority vote.

Serial Sexual Harasser/Twice-divorced Family Values Hypocrite ’12!

But yeah, the days of college football being a pure amateur sport are long gone (if they ever existed at all). And those who propound it as such are wither willfully blind or seriously deluded.

They never existed. Family legend has it that my grandfather, from Massachusetts, chose to play at Georgia Tech (in the 1920s, when they were a power) because they offered the most money. And even if that’s not true, though I suspect is was, college sports have always been corrupt. Christ, the whole SMU program was shut down in the early 80′s. Long before that, there was little doubt that boosters from the idiot states would shovel money to top recruits.

What the fuck was that?

They go back in time to watch historical events happen? Regardless of how stupid they say it, how is that better than actual history? Going back in time to relive the Iranian Hostage Crisis may be something Ted Koppel longs for, but I think the kids today would be bored.

You go back in time to solve crimes, change the future or bet on sporting events, not to confirm conservative biases.

My other thought: The surge in Iraq works. The surge in Afghanistan works. There’s an Arab Spring. The world obviously needs American strength and leadership more than ever. And now everyone (even Palin, to some degree) decides, hey, time to back off? It’s foolish substantively and politically. Do Republicans really want to run as Obama-lite in foreign policy?

It looks like Kristol is through with enjoying binary stupidity — this is truly quantum stupidity. It’s wrong in multiple dimensions simultaneously. Wrong on its face. Wrong on merits. Wrong on facts. Wrong on the assumptions it makes. Wrong in the course of action it prescribes. Wrong in real-time and wrong for all history. Wrong in tense, grammar and theory. Wrong in summation. So wrong, in fact, that it will remain the Golden Standard of Wrong until the next time Bill Kristol decides to say anything.

left-leaning sensibilities of a college campus

Nothing says ivy-covered Quad and Ivory Tower insulation like a satellite campus of Northern Virginia Community College.

Courage to Stand?

I’m sure he means just after getting off his knees and wiping off his chin.

UPDATE: Of course, this is the same university that has no problem instructing students on how to give the best bl*w job.

Frankly Jim, no one thought you’d buy it. I mean having class in a toilet stall should have been the tell. But you seemed to eager to pass, the “professor” just went with it.

And once again, a winger whiffs on giving an O because they’re too timid with the sexy talk.

Why is this shooting victim so angry? The left, pfft, they’re so mad.
