Flags

What the... look, I don't valorize the flag, but c'mon people, the guy is clearly either an idiot or doesn't believe any of the shit that comes out of his mouth:



... in other words, if Bush is going to metaphorically drape himself in the flag, the least he could do is display the fucking thing properly.

What the.....?!

Hering:

The news that Iraq has been able to amass a $79 billion budget surplus from oil revenues says a couple of things.

The first is that the war has been won...

What fucking planet is that man on?

... more calmly: There is no necessary connection between Iraq squirreling away money and "the war" being over. Certainly Hering doesn't make one.

If I ever build a shrink ray, I'm going to name it the Internet

Found in the comments to a diary post at Daily Kos, left as part of someone's signature:

If the Earth really were your mother, she would grab you with one rocky hand and hold you under water until you no longer bubbled. -- Kathleen Dean Moore

It's a small world. Kathy Moore works in the Philosophy Department at OSU.

Also, the quote is pretty darn funny.

[OSU] Most likely the only post you'll ever see on this blog regarding the OSU Men's Basketball team.

From the Gazette-Times:

Executive senior associate athletic director Todd Stansbury, the other athletic department administrator on the five-person search committee, is also in San Antonio. Lamar Hurd and A.C. Green, the former players on the committee, will also be in Texas for at least part of the Final Four, sources said.

OSU President Ed Ray completes the committee.

Um, what?

Can we talk about priorities for a second?

Someone should really be penning a Baro column or something about this (I'm looking at you, Robert Sanchez), because I'm pretty sure Ed Ray has better things to do.
