“Trying to dress up moralist messages through a "cool and hip" delivery just doesn't work.
It's like when 30 Rock tries to write in preachy "green" messages into an otherwise good show. it's off-putting.”

Too Fat To Graduate? Lincoln University's BMI Requirement Causes Uproar
Commented Nov 25, 2009 at 10:32:07 in Living
“If it's a private school, they can pretty much require what they want, so long as they aren't breaching a contract or breaking the law. If students don't like it, they can take their heft and money elsewhere.
That said, BMI alone is a bit arbitrary. Will they apply this requirement to the football team, shotput throwers, etc.?”

“These trials will most likely make a farce of our system and are potentially dangerous.
That said, this conservative thinks Bill looked like a knucklehead going after the lawyer personally. The lawyer obviously wasn't some kind of true believer--thinking what his clients did was right. Like a good public defender, he is defending the process and the Constitution.
Someone should remind Bill who it was that defended the British soldiers after the Boston Massacre.”

“I do wonder how Bill would have responded to such a retort, "Well, Bill, not that I'm putting myself in the same league as John Adams, but would you have said the same thing to him 240 years ago?"”

“These trials will NOT "make a farce of our system" but will show the world that the U.S. believes in the rule of law. You can bet the judge will keep tight control over that courtroom, one which has considerable experience in handling difficult cases.
And "potentially dangerous?" Are you serious? There is no way anyone will be in any more danger before, during or after these trials.
I do not understand all the ridiculous fearmongering. It is unbecoming a great nation, or one that thinks it is a great nation.”

“He was going for "shocking," but it was anything but. It's not shocking that most guys his age are obsessed with getting off in one way or another. It was just uncreative, inauthentic, and crude.
It was only shocking for those who are too young to be thinking about those things--i.e., a large chunk of his target audience before Sunday night.”

“He didn't adapt his made for cable routine for network primetime, so why should they expect him to adapt for a network morning show?”

“Well, the entire AMA show was filled with ridiculously bombastic performances - with each artist seemingly trying to out-do the other. Adam closed the show, so by then may have felt he had to really be "out there" to get some attention. He appears to have been very successful in that respect at least. Still, I'd like to think he'd have had enough sense to tone things down in the context of a performing following a nice segment about candied yams on a morning show. But you never know. Soooo... again, I can't really say I blame GMA.”

“Holder: For eight years justice has been delayed — no longer, "It is past time to finally act."
McCarthy: Holder, of course, does not mention the role of his firm and others in delaying and derailing the military commissions during their representation of America's enemies. Sen. Kyl just confronted him with my contentions on that score (from this column). The attorney-general responded that I am a polemecist who says inflammatory things for talk shows, whereas he is concerned with facts. (I guess he means pertinent facts, like how he is not "scared of KSM.") I'm delighted to let people judge that one for themselves."”

“Exactly.
And yet, there's no chance that they're going to let him walk free, even though he probably should under our laws. So we have to ask, what kind of rules are they going to make up to apply to this trial? How could they be constitutional? Will the judge just make it up as he goes?
The President and AG's actions here make a mockery of what is good about our justice system.”

“So what are we to make of the fact that Obama and Holder have created a bizarre incentive for ter.rorists: be sure you att.ack civilians instead of military targets so that you get the perks of a civilian trial instead of a military commission?”

“Less right wing talking points and more thought process may be in order. Terrorists generally attack civilian rather than military targets anyway because it's easier and safer.

Liberal Arts Education: From Clubbiness to Cosmopolitanism
Commented Nov 17, 2009 at 15:04:11 in Politics
“Liberal arts colleges are great. Though I'd disagree on how much emphasis should be put on going "beyond traditional canons and methodologies". That kind of misses the point of a liberal arts education. One of its greatest assets is the emphasis on our society's universal canon...and learning how to think, rather than what to think. It's a core curriculum--as opposed to a potpourri of obscure topics--that is their strength. This should be the emphasis. And after you learn how to think--that is when you "go beyond"--and specialize in grad school or what-have-you.”
