@Jaybird, Hows a bout the flip side of this? What are the girls doing in the club? Why are they falling for the charade? I suppose there's some perverse justice at the bottom of it all. People get the government they deserve. Perhaps this is true of mates or hook ups as well.
@Bob Cheeks, Some businesses play classical music to drive off street urchins. Perhaps coastal cities could do the same with NPR to drive off hidden knuckle draggers.
@Rufus, There you go. I was just thinking of your Friday Jukebox. Have folk post links or maybe even you tubes of local talent they've found. A musical view from your window.
@Scott, This happened in Seattle. There will definitely be a price to pay. I'm assuming people less bright than E.D. and Scott would have a good chance of seeing things as you do.
If we don’t hold our police accountable to higher standards, then we’re not going to have very good police, and that leads to communities who don’t trust their police officers which inevitably leads to more crime, more conflict, more tension.
I think this is a very important consideration. Canadian police (and military) are currently losing their previous good reputation.
@Jaybird, Cops were awful where and when I was a kid. However, let's add this recent event into the context:

Also in Seattle. Now the situations are wildly different bu,t I think, they show that there is a balance that has yet to be found.
@ThatPirateGuy, Alabama affects me a great deal. That's why I favor a significantly weaker federal government. Breaking up the union would not be my first choice. However, I think nullification and secession are options.
I'm strongly in favor of state's rights. Mostly for the reason J has outlined above. Fundamentally, it's a question of sovereignty. In order for Alabama or Afghanistan to stay out of my business, I must reciprocate. I don't like what goes on in Darfur. That does not require that I advocate military adventurism or the folly of nation building.
@Cascadian, Ugh, imagining Harper having sex would be damaging. Seeing him in a leather vest was bad enough. Yes, things are a bit different up here. It's wonderful!
@Jaybird, I would chalk it up to emotional immaturity. Again behavior that is understandable for a seventeen year old looks different on a fifty year old. I don't think he's sleazy, just stinted.
@Jaybird, Perfectly understandable behavior.... for a seventeen year old. I'm no fan of monogamy. But, if you're going to go down this road, one needs honesty with oneself and ones partner. I'm trying to imagine Charles Barkley getting caught in this type of mess.
@Scott, I don't think you should be allowed to yell "fire" in a theater. I do think you should be allowed to say "I hate fags" or "Christians". Do you think freedom of religion allows building a place of worship in NY? Do you think freedom includes doing whatever the hell you please in ones own bedroom? I'm sure you're much more inclusive on freedoms than I.
I didn't think it was that bad. I quite liked the aesthetic. Militaristic leather? I thought you were familiar with the PumpJack. Still, it didn't come close to some of Madonna's videos.

@Bob Cheeks, That's the great thing about anti-federalism. You can have your knuckle draggers and I can have cool neighborhoods.
You're not admitting NPR has good programming are you?

Sanford wasn't boring it was cringe inducing. The guy sounded so naive and handled it all so badly. Only Tiger could do worse.
