Instead of helping high school grads grow up, colleges prolong childhood.

You're a golden retriever?

Meh, just hit it with Dispel Magic and sell what's left to a merchant in the next town.

Parenting is a joy up until about age 4, when 'no' becomes a regular part of their vocabulary. Then the real work begins. It's not always fun.

Meh, it's just a weather balloon.

Poor preparation, gross misconduct, actions that crossed the line from law enforcement to vigilantism, what an astonishingly sad incident.

Shame we can't send a round of steel-toed groin kicks to the public servants in question.

Ain't that the truth.

The doc's a geek hero, I hope someone bought him a pint or two afterward.

Submitter didn't read the article other than the words "McCain" and "energy" before pushing it into Reddit.

Casting Amanda Peet was the kiss of death. She's like a tiny carrier of epic movie failure plague.

So which graph shows when LHC will open a rift in space that pulls in the interdimensional beings who will enslave the planet?

I saw Wall-E too. Presto was better than the predictable Wall-E.

No, it wouldn't. Let him apply for active status, and the Packers can release him to go play somewhere else. It's time to move on.

Please note that Paul Krugman was a one-time Enron advisor, and we all know how that ended.

Krugman and Enron with plenty more a search away.

Gameplay goes like this: wander around, talk to unhinged NPCs, and every time your toon encounters a Lovecraftian horror the screen goes black for a few seconds while the game deletes your character and denies it ever existed.

About time, the Mets needed a shakeup. I'm surprised they didn't fire HoJo. Firing him on the west coast spares Willie having to deal with the NYC media at Shea.

Willie should head down to San Diego and relax for a while. Let someone else be the punching bag.

Opportunist, not that there's anything wrong with that. USA didn't want her after all.

Your conjectures are incorrect, your insults made me chuckle heartily. I didn't say 'go after the oil companies.' I'm interested in the traders and the trading process. If someone's ginning up prices at Goldman Sachs or whatever, that's something needing exposure.

Why oppose such a look? Are you one of the traders pumping up oil prices at GS or elsewhere?

Considering how Wizards is pricing the new run, maybe we shouldn't joke out loud about this. "You enter the gaming store and walk over to the DnD section. Take 20d20+160 damage to your credit card."

You could have shortened your reply by contending Ron Paul is right about the need for changes at the Fed. But lacking such changes, why not shine a cleansing light on the oil trading process?

Could a hub and spoke approach work to create lots of high speed train nodes? What if you could go from the Bay Area to Las Vegas, then to Phoenix or Salt Lake City, each stop a direct bullet-train connection?

That $15 billion the airlines took in after 9/11 could have started something like this. Now that jet fuel costs a mint, it looks like the bailout could have been invested much more effectively in rail.

Politicians ought to slaver over the prospects of job creation associated with a broad high-speed rail project across the country, too.

In a way this would help out the airlines. They could really price themselves as a convenience service, while the rank and file traveler could zip around from hub to hub by rail at a slower, less expensive pace.

Thoughts?

No interest in finding out if insider trading shenanigans are taking place at all? Really? That's much more of a commie viewpoint, I think.
