• Commented on How con-men make their faces look trustworthy

• Commented on Debate coaches scream at each other
  Had I been there, I would have been really annoyed with that woman who got on the chair at the end. She yelled at everybody except the two people who actually caused the problem. Everyone else seemed to be acting...
• Commented on The Manhattan Project Poll on the Use of Atomic Weapons, July 1945.

• Commented on LP collection comes with a battery operated toy car that is a record player.
  Yeah, I had one of those VW van ones too. They sound cool in theory, but what nobody realizes until you get one is that the sound is always screwed up due to the Doppler Effect. So it's basically like...
• Commented on Texas legislator explains her fraudulent voting on lack of "bathroom breaks"
  I guess I don't really understand why this is a big deal. Is there any evidence that legislators are actually stealing other legislators' votes? This isn't really comparable to a large-scale, secret ballot election--this is a public vote where everybody...
• Commented on Wall Street Journal editor's ordeal with Kmart security
  "As for my dismay at the way I was treated, there was little I could do, other than take my future business to Wal-Mart or Target." Well, yeah, that and complain about it in a full-length article in the largest...
