Often, when I mistype, unless I’m in a huge hurry and just sit on the backspace, I’ll be careful to not delete letters I’ve already typed, but move the cursor around them if they’ll be useful in the fix, because I don’t like to waste them.
Just so you know. I’m a child of parents who were children of the Depression. What can I say? I’m just frugal, if not always rational.
The game between the New York Giants and the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis already had been postponed because of heavy snow. When the Metrodome’s roof collapsed early Sunday morning, the NFL moved the game to Detroit.
…“We hope it’s a great event,” Lions president Tom Lewand said. “It’s free. Obviously that’s something that was important to us. This is an opportunity for Detroit fans to come out and enjoy another NFL game. We think that we’ll have a good crowd, and that’s why we tried to make it as accessible as possible.”
Hard to beat the price, too. Though it’s also nice that the Lions managed to eke out a win against the Packers today.
Is Batman a state actor?
In Batman’s case, Commissioner Gordon is certainly a person for whom the State is responsible, and Batman often acts together with Gordon and obtains significant aid from Gordon in the form of information and evidence. Batman’s conduct is also otherwise chargeable to the State because the Gotham Police Department has worked with Batman on numerous occasions (and thus knows his methods) and operates the Bat Signal, expressly invoking Batman’s assistance in a traditionally public function. This suggests state action under the public function theory: “when private individuals or groups are endowed by the State with powers or functions governmental in nature, they become agencies or instrumentalities of the State and subject to its constitutional limitations.” Evans v. Newton, 382 U.S. 296, 299 (1966).
But what about Superman? And who’s going to enforce the law against him?

Or just…wrong? I double dare whoever did this to make a bacon Mohammed.
Well, at least these people didn’t shoot their television:
“I … believe that the program was fixed by extreme supporters of the Tea Party and Radical Right-Wing,” wrote one viewer. “There is no disclaimer that it is a political show, and instead that is what it has become. It is tragic to say that it could have been fixed but I hope ABC’s ratings blow-up and go down in flames.”
“You need to investigate the fraudulent voting practice on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars,” another viewer complained.
A third viewer protested that DWTS judge Carrie Ann Inaba’s hugging of Bristol Palin was “unfair treatment” that “was a signal for GOP/Tea Party supporters of Sarah Palin to ‘stuff’ the vote for Bristol Palin.”
“My 96 year old Mother-in-Law can dance better than Ms. Palin,” continued the viewer. “I want my Government to protect me the viewer from deceptive practices.”
Actually, I prefer the television abuser to people who want the federal government to regulate what I watch. Time to rein in the FCC.
…are mocked. At Free Republic.
I’m going to pop some corn. It’s the Westboro Baptist Church versus the Dearborn Islamic Center.
Place your bets, folks.
And now this:
Prominent Muslim religious heads have expressed anger and dismay on the information of a US dog being named ‘Khan.’ Maulana Syed Athar Ali said that it is a known fact that Muslims detest pigs and dogs.
“To name a dog a Muslim name by US security agencies is to deliberately incite the Muslim community. We would be meeting soon and devise a strategy to protest and seek apology from the US,” said Maulana Athar Ali.
Yes, of course. It was a deliberate act of provocation. And just how angry are they? This angry.
Hey, it’s a religion of peace. Or so they say.
Is it perverse, and even immoral, to brine pork chops with kosher salt?
