GravatarThe Dean of the ridiculous.

GravatarIn academia, if a faculty member is not too swift but otherwise likes bureaucratic wanking, he often ends up as a Dean of something.

GravatarSadly, Atrios appears to not have bounced. His latest approval is in the teens.


GravatarIn academia, if a faculty member is not too swift but otherwise likes bureaucratic wanking, he often ends up as a Dean of something.

And when you look at pay raises, all those faculty who do dean-type stuff end up getting more money.


GravatarWhen he eventually joins the choir invisible, that column should be carved onto Broder's headstone, along with an image of him eating quail at Karl Rove's table.


GravatarBush in the remake of "Shaft In Africa":


Are you man enough...big and bad enough?
Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries,
Are you gonna be around?
Someone needs a friend, just around the bend.
Don't ya think you should be there?
Are you man enough...when the goin's rough?
Is it in your heart to care?


GravatarCan't we just replace Andy Rooney with David Broder? Broder would finally be treated with all the gravitas he deserves (none) and Rooney could finally retire to his crypt.


GravatarI think I might be coming down with a cold

After sleeping 5 hours since I woke up, yeah, there's something of a cold/flu coming on in my body.


GravatarAh, Broder.

Wotta putz!

I'm hoping that next semester I'll get a raise to 29 cents an hour since I'm caught up with my grading for the first time in 5 years. We adjuncts do it for love.


GravatarThanks, but I don't want to join FaceBook.

When I was a kid in Canada, there was an incident in my hometown. There was an asshole who liked driving his snowmobile at high speed through the backyards of his neighbours. Finally, one angry neighbour decided to lower his cloth's line. The unfortunate result of this bit of payback was that the snowmobiler was decapitated, Saddam style.

In many countries the media doesn't report on suicides because doing so always causes copycat suicides. I think one of the reasons for these things are the reports. I understand that the media can't not report on something like a mass killing but perhaps the tone of the reports could be changed to make the mythologizing of the killers less.

They blasted his once-high-flying lifestyle, belittled his claims of innocence and branded him an “overgrown frat boy” fueled by greed and avarice.

At minimum, Wilkes should receive no less than 16 years and eight months in prison, prosecutors said. That would be exactly twice the length of the sentence Cunningham received after pleading guilty to conspiracy and tax evasion.


Wilkes deserves 25 years, what about an “overgrown frat boy” who employs torture?

GravatarMore Than Tissues in a Box of Kleenex
Greenpeace Denies Sanctioning Notes

(Kimberly-Clark has battled Greenpeace over recycled fibers in products. )

The battle over the environment has found a new front: the inside of a Kleenex box.

"Wiping away ancient forests," warned a note found inside a box bought recently at a drug store in New York by a stuffy-nosed reporter. "Here's a little secret that Kimberly-Clark, the largest tissue maker in the world and parent company of Kleenex, does not want you to know."

The not-so-secret secret is that Kimberly-Clark has been fighting with Greenpeace for nearly three years over recycled fibers in its products. Greenpeace says the company is destroying the boreal forest of Canada; Kimberly-Clark says it has begun testing new tissues made with recycled materials. But the bigger mystery is how the leaflet got into the box.

"We take any and all comments about any foreign materials in products extremely seriously," said David Dickson, a spokesman for Kimberly-Clark.

He then called corporate security.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Yos...shihiro_Hattori
Yoshihiro Hattori (服部剛丈 Hattori Yoshihiro) (November 22, 1975 - October 17, 1992) was a Japanese exchange student residing in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States at the time of his death. Hattori was on his way to a Halloween party when he mistook the address and entered the wrong suburban property. The property owner, Rodney Peairs, mortally wounded Hattori with gunfire, thinking he was trespassing with criminal intent. The controversial homicide, and Peairs' subsequent acquittal in the state court of Louisiana, received worldwide attention.

Feds Nip State Efforts to Slash Mercury

By H. JOSEF HEBERT Associated Press Writer

Feb 16th, 2008 | WASHINGTON -- While arguing in court that states are free to enact tougher mercury controls from power plants, the Bush administration pressured dozens of states to accept a scheme that would let some plants evade cleaning up their pollution, government documents show.

A week ago, a federal appeals court struck down that industry-friendly approach for mercury reduction. It allowed plants with excessive smokestack emissions to buy pollution rights from other plants that foul the air less.

Internal Environmental Protection Agency documents and e-mails, obtained by the advocacy group Environmental Defense, show attempts over the past two years to blunt state efforts to make their plants drastically reduce mercury pollution instead of trading for credits that would let them continue it.

GravatarPolice said the white sedan was not involved in the street race but accidentally drove into the crowd of about 50 people that had spilled onto the highway to watch two racing cars speed off.

[snip]

"It's probably one of the worst scenes I've seen," Copeland said. "This is a situation that could have been avoided, and it's a very tragic situation."
[snip]
According to police, two cars had lined up for a race on the smooth and relatively flat and straight stretch of highway. They spun their wheels, kicking up smoke, then sped off, Copeland said.

The crowd then moved into the road to watch the cars drive away. The combination of the smoke and the dark morning likely meant the driver of the approaching white sedan could not see the crowd. No charges were pending.

1) a drag race

2) on a public road.

a) is this legal in MD? If not, why did it happen (surely the police knew; 60 some-odd people did). And why no charges?

b) there was also an 18 wheeler that ran off the road trying to avoid the crash.

c) no charges? Really?

That was the aim of my comment. Lots of people doing something dangerous and stupid (there's a reason most states outlaw this kind of thing). Pointing that out is not excusing the deaths, it's damning the fools, from the drivers to the spectators to the police, who allowed it to happen.

Was there something in the news I missed, or was it just coincidence?


Gravatarand it wasn't just the dopey 20 somethings -- one of the victims was a 61yo man who was there with his daughter.

i mean, really.

I'm just glad your aren't allergic. (I have family members who are.)"

I am, terribly.  It's why I'm staying online here for a little bit to see if the anaphylactic shock kicks in or not.  So far, so good - throat's open, breathing's good.  Chlorotrimeton is good stuff.


GravatarMmmmm...I'm gonna have the Flautas de Pollo tonight. Haven't had that in ages.


GravatarI'm glad that Democratic men are coming to their senses and pushing Obama to the top. An African American friend of my put it best, "we don't want no pant suites wearing bitch tellin' us what to do."


GravatarThe new Oddjob's weapon in the next Bond flick...

He can still be defeated by a well-placed Swedish penis enlarger pump...


Gravatar""I am discouraged that no one took their books, laptops, anything and just threw it at the guy, no one fought back. It’s that passivity that troubles me.""

William Kristol and Rush Limbaugh threw young Dominican boys in front of the shooter.


Gravatardang Dr. Barmpot, do you have an epi pen there just in case?


GravatarI am, terribly. It's why I'm staying online here for a little bit to see if the anaphylactic shock kicks in or not. So far, so good - throat's open, breathing's good. Chlorotrimeton is good stuff.

Dr. Barmpot Shouty-Crackers


well, then I will still worry about you for a bit.


GravatarI'm gonna have the Flautas de Pollo tonight.

Stay away from the farting fish.

I find it kind of funny; I find it kind of sad.

It's a mad world...


GravatarDr. Barmpot - is your front door unlocked in case you have to call 911? i'm really nervous for you.


GravatarA drag race, and Ghouliani wasn't invited. What a shame!

how about a drag handicap?

C'mon, not with the whole "wet farts" thing again...

(Let's see.
Snow or Ntodd, my guess.
The same level of linguistic mastery; a similar familiarity with the fetish culture; and the intellectual gravitas to pull off such an historically impressive rip.
Yep, definitely one of those two.)


GravatarThroughout the history of the world, most of the people killed by arms were armed themselves.


GravatarWho has sex then runs to a blog to brag about it?

OK, gang. Everyone go have sex. Report back when finished. Synchronize your Swiss watches on my mark...


GravatarWell, he's right. The shooter could have been decapitated with a well-flung MacBook Air, in frisbee mode.

But more likely probably would have made the thrower look like Sponge Bob Squarepants in about 10 seconds.

You obviously don't watch enough TeeVee.


Gravatar"Dr. Barmpot - is your front door unlocked in case you have to call 911? i'm really nervous for you."

'Enkew.  Things are fine.  A direct reaction would already have taken place.  No worries.  Just ouchies!

DONE!

Actually, I don't watch any TV.


GravatarAnd stay away from Echidne's description of ludefisk

I'm sure it can't be worse than the real thing.


GravatarNo worries. Just ouchies!

Glad it's not worse. Maybe you can find someone to kiss it and make it better. Maybe Arthur, if no two-footers are available.


GravatarI didn't bring my 'A' game.

I think I'm getting a cold, and my elbow is sore.


GravatarOK, gang. Everyone go have sex. Report back when finished. Synchronize your Swiss watches on my mark...

wanna see me do it again?

Everybody knows that, when the good guy shoots, the bad guy can't shoot back, or shoot at all until the good guy ducks again, usually behind a cardboard wall or something equally impenetrable.

And when the bad guy shoots at the good guy when he's running, all the bullets are drawn to the floor long before they reach their target. This is especially true for any kind of automatic weapon.

I seen it in the movin' pictures!


GravatarGet out your handkerchiefs.

GravatarI'm sure it can't be worse than the real thing.

Lyer!

Well, there you go....


GravatarEvery delegate Obama wins = "Hey Democratic women, get your bitch asses in the kitchen and make us some pie."



GravatarDr. Barmpot, if you were to have a reaction, it would have occured almost at once. I am allergic and have to carry atrophine in the warmer months. The only advantage to winter.


GravatarI just realized that this will be the first sitting US Senator elected President since 1960.


GravatarAAA rated commenter



How old are you?

13?


GravatarActually, I don't watch any TV.

You're totally missing "Storm Stories" on the Weather Channel, then...

GravatarForty years ago the 'Dean' was Walter Lippmann.

How low we've sunk.

For those too young to remember Lippmann; he was actually brilliant.

Bright enough to engage George Kennan in foreign policy at the highest strategic level.

Can you imagine Broder engaging anybody in anything at any level, except for maybe mind numbing stupidity.

No fun witnessing ongoing decline.


GravatarHere's how I figure:

When Broder runs another "Bush comeback" column he's just making a long odds bet.

Bush stays down... what has Broder lost? His reputation is locked in (for good or ill with villager or netroots). Do any readers here think any worse of Broder this time than the last time?

On the other hand...

Bush miraculously rises... Broder is a prophet. He's got a great I-called-it marker.


Gravatar"I bet columnists hate it when you remind them of the stupid stuff they've said in the past."

If they hate that then they really hate googling themselves only to find some unanointed blogger calling them on their stupid.


GravatarThe comeback is coming............Now! No, wait...Now!

Nnnnnnnnnnnnow! Now! Nownownownow!

OK, this time....NOW!

Aaany minute now...

Now!
