@ Karlgustav, @ Aldasin, right on! This trendlet reminds me of the swing craze about a decade ago.

Yeah, tourists, alright...OF TERRRRRRRRR!

Ditto on that "yikes" about the price. I can recommend imagination, markers, and Fresh Direct boxes. You get about 15 free with any order in NYC!

Of course Ben Stein has his opinions, and he has a right to them just as much as anyone else, but the issue here is that he is broadcasting his opinions through media accessible to thousands of people. I think it's perfectly legitimate to mock and pester high-visibility people whom I find idiotic, to diffuse the efficacy of their message. I don't have an ounce of respect for George W. Bush, for example, and there's no way I would ever decline to express that opinion just out of some notion of respect. Bullshit needs to be called out. "Teaching the controversy" and allowing blatant nonsense to enter unchecked into an argument, especially when in comes to education (helloooo!), is just garbage masquerading as productive dialogue.

Submission Accomplished!

# 15, was that your attempt at a Muslim joke?

I have been a pedestrian while CM is holding one of their "protests," and it was damned scary! It is a bewildering message that a mob of cyclists who disregard all rules of the road while terrorizing the populace can somehow "raise consciousness" about bikers in a positive way.

Also, I walk the streets of Manhattan every single day. With almost 100% consistency, it is bikers who run red lights and zip past people crossing the street with absolutely zero regard for safety. Cars do run red lights now and again, but nowhere near as often as bikes.

They obviously only make pizza in the singular. Must be damned 'spensive!

I personally think it's dangerous to believe in a god who would allow the deaths of 600 Chicagoans during the 1995 heat wave. Well, Chicago was too decadent, wasn't praying hard enough, and deserved what it got, a la New Orleans, right?

Ted Turner is to brains what Donald Trump is to taste.
