23skidoo, thanks for the assumption, but actually, at the beginning of 12th grade, out of my class as a whole, 50% were projected to fail. By graduation, the rate fell to 35%. In a medium-sized midwestern city. My issue with the testing, and… [more]

Wow. Halfway through the Time article, and I got to the part where the reporter relates how, when she presents a viewpoint she doesn't like, she does a mocking imitation of the people saying it. While she might have a point about children… [more]

There's also Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro. The twist is there, it's kind of evident part way through the book, but the finality of it is pretty breathtaking. [more]

This is a pretty good comic. The whole shebang at Transmission X is pretty good. I second Sin Titulo, though I can't for the life of me see where it's going. Some others worth checking out would be Rice Boy and We the Robots Kukuburi is also… [more]

Harper for Obama Sorry, gman, but the way the exchange rate is going, I think you'd need to change that to "three Trudeaus and Vancouver." [more]

I can't really see conservatives leaving the country. Please don't jump all over me, but to me, one of the main reasons for being socially conservative is a lack of contact with people not like you. Living overseas, it's quite rare that I ever come… [more]

How is it that major news sources would agree to sit on stuff like this? I mean, how do they get to decide that we shouldn't hear about a candidates significant, damaging flaws? Flaws as freakish as "Not knowing major geographical facts,"… [more]

ValkoSipuliSuola, I said the exact thing to my wife earlier. I feel like, when someone asks me where I'm from, I don't have to shrug my shoulders, wince, and say, uh, America. I feel proud (again, for all of the people willing to jump on me) to be… [more]

Can you say what program you'll come over with, or wha company you'd be working for? Do you know where you'd be? That will have a lot to do with it. I've been here for eight years now, and like lundman said, going back home usually drives me nuts… [more]

I haven't read the stand in years, but I used to read it maybe once a year when I was younger (pre-teens to late teens), and I remember always feeling vaguely freaked out, as I would get a runny nose, without fail, during the first hundred or so… [more]

I will not be watching any of your nightmare fuel, thank you. Like Mutant, I have a terrible fear of spiders, but somewhere down the line, I've realized that, much like most things, if I don't do something about it, no one will. My friends claim that… [more]

One of the truly crap things about living in Japan is that there are very few (if any) dvds available with English subtitles. I'm hoping blu-ray will tackle this (I got some hope from looking at a blu-ray that had subs in ten or twelve languages)… [more]

I was skeptical, thinking there was no way Lemonade Stand would make the list. We played that on the class computer during free times in fifth grade. There was some kind of bug in that every single time the forecast was 30% chance of rain, it would… [more]

I read through the transcript when I got home this evening. Some things mentioned in the thread didn't make the New York Times' transcript, strangely. Still, when I got to Obama saying that he'd try to stop the practice of refusing health care for… [more]

Aside from everything else loathesome about this, there's the evangelical idea that only their way could possibly be the right way. Telling people of a different culture/different religion that they'll only receive aid if they act like the… [more]

Off the top of my head, To You, kind of a pun on the Japanese word と言う... not sure if it's catchy enough though. Maybe Hats On To You? (get it? 発音と言う! It's a laugh riot!) [more]

What I thought was alarming is that McCain clearly doesn't understand the viscious threat that bears represent. Has Colbert taught him nothing?! The study is obviously to help us find their ursine weakness in order to help us defeat them once and for… [more]

If (big if) it wasn't already illegal in the NFL, it would never work. It's a gimmick that allows teams lacking certain skill sets to be that scrappy, plays-its-heart-out team that all the disney folks love. I would imagine, to field a decent A-11… [more]

The awkward hands out, where do I go pose just before leaving the stage, is it just me, or did that have a Godzilla-esque stance to it? Or like a "Gentle Ben, no!" feeling? [more]

I'm running a bit behind here, but going back to the preconditions thing, why the hell doesn't Obama say "What the hell is wrong with talking to people? It's called diplomacy! It's how we avoid getting into stupid wars and making… [more]

The nutty bar, oh, my long lost friend... The secret is to pry the layers of wafer apart, eating them one at a time, savoring the chocolate and peanut butter gobbed onto a single, ever-so-crispy wafer. The answer to all of life's problems, really… [more]

ND¢, yes, we gave the world Star Wars, Star Trek, and the Simpsons. Even the Godfather. But, uh, since then? Not to say that there aren't still fantastic movies out there, being made right now, by Americans, but if you're going to argue that America… [more]

A quick way for a white male American to get an understanding of his privilege is to live overseas, in a majority non-white culture. Refused housing due to race: check. People on a crowded train declining to use the open seat next to you:… [more]

I'm a citizen of the States, although I've lived overseas for about nine years. I made a joking comment before I left that if Bush won, I'd stay gone until we elected someone decent. I didn't actually intend to be gone this long, but here I am. A… [more]
