• "[P]eople who are infatuated with government... have no realistic idea of what an awful husband the government really is."

  
  Althouse — Authority: 726
  I said at the end of that post about how the government should pay people to stay home and cook "wholesome, healthy meals" in a program funded with a tax on "harmful foods." Im starting a new post to highlight some of the great comments. BDNYC said: If your wife doesnt fuck you enough, there should be a government ...

• What did the President know and when did he know it?

  
  Althouse — Authority: 726
  An old question. It springs to mind upon reading todays news : Senior Internal Revenue Service officials knew agents were targeting tea party groups as early as 2011, according to a draft of an inspector generals report obtained by The Associated Press that seemingly contradicts public statements by the IRS ...

• Making Best Use of Analogies in eLearning

  
  — Authority:
  When we look at something which is new, we search for similarities which we are familiar of. The more the similarities, the more is the acceptability. When Apple introduced the Macintosh operating system in the 1980′s they called the starting screen as desktop. It was not desktop really but they used this sort of ...

• Bad Christian Analogy #5: Amanda Bynes

  
  — Authority:
  So if you have any kind of interest in the entertainment industry and you’re on the internet, you probably have some kind of idea about Amanda Bynes. She’s a perfectly normal actress who’s been in some perfectly normal films and prior to the last years, most would have assumed that besides the large amount of ...

• BEST BLOCKBUSTER SUMMER EVER? or How I Set Myself Up For Hulk Sized Disappointment But Cant Help Myself

  
  — Authority:
  I think it’s healthy to be excited about things.  It makes life more topographical.  No matter what I’m doing, I can see a mountain in the distance.  That mountain can be a lot of things.  The new Marvel movie.  A festival or journal I submitted to.  A trip.  A new burger place.  A project being filmed or ...

• Ego: Thank you, Mr. Tolle, for your wonderful thoughts. Here, if I may, are a few additional comments of my own.

  
  — Authority:
      Ego is a part of the human experience.  Sometimes in AA, and in other schools of spiritual thought, we place it in a negative light (or, maybe thats just my interpretation of the light it is placed in?). Speaking strictly for myself, Im not sure the point is to try not to have one at all -- it is not a ...

• Bad Christian Analogy #4: KFC’s Boneless Chicken

  
  — Authority:
  Have you guys seen that commercial with the guy eating at KFC who freaks out because he isn’t sure whether or not he’s eaten chicken bones or not? Just the best. Love that guy. I don’t so much like the guy sitting across from him because he does nothing to help the panicked plight of his friend, but everyone ...

• Dont look into the Palantir.

  
  — Authority:
  I think reading too much MRA stuff/arguing with MRAs is like looking into a Palantir. Sauron cant lie with it, but he can show you selective truths to slowly bend you to his will, corrupt you to see reality as he wants you to see it. MRAs do that AND lie. Even if you disagree with them, it gets into your head. You win ...

• Bad Christian Analogy #3: Push Notifications

  
  — Authority:
  So push notifications. Depending on how active you are with your phone, you may already have a fully-formed opinion on this technology. But in case you don’t, let’s discuss them briefly. I like to run, right? Haha no wait. I have that wrong. I don’t like to run. I run so I don’t feel awful about eating good ...

• I’ll take Cold Tropes and War Analogies for $50, Alex!

  
  — Authority:
  It’s getting harder to explain the history of the cold war, at least insofar as students are less and less likely to relate to the era in any personal way. Gone are the days when the subject could elicit a visceral action from the under-thirty age-set. I distinctly recall that fear of the world ending with the push ...

• Bad Christian Analogy #2: Kelly Kapowski and Jessie Spano’s Senior Year

  
  — Authority:
    If you are like me and you passionately loved  Saved By The Bell, then you are well aware of a quirk within the universe of the show involving Kelly, Jessie and the mystery of the second semester of their senior year. To explain it briefly, in season 5 of the show a new character was introduced named Tori ...
