Ambrose is a tad worried
Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, New Mexico and Tennessee have all be put on negative watch. California has had to raise an emergency $5bn loan. Nevada is spending half its tax-take on debt service costs, and Michigan 40pc. These states are hanging on by their fingernails. Yet if disaster is an outside risk in America, it is an odds-on likelihood in Europe. ... We can only pray that at least one half of the Atlantic system holds relatively firm. If both go down together, buy a shotgun and prepare for 1932.
A Fast and Furious exposé
.. by a Texas girl. Of course, Rot won't read it, just say "deport". It's a Pavlov thing.
Flying squirrel
I gotta try out this move on Rot, next time he doesn't pay up the tab. Note that this happens in tsuica-land.

Editorialists and stock-jobbers circling at speed like demented waterbugs
The gulf between the Christine O’Donnell element of the Tea Party and the GOP establishment is enormous, says Kristol. Hmmm...

Shocka!
Yet another study shows that 20 percent of the professors are doing 80 percent of the work. And a lot of the professors aren’t doing any of the work!
Of course, AA & Tecs are slaving in the salt mines, while Herr Rott is sipping mint tea at Café Sacher and chasing mountain goats in the Alps.

A dream job for AA
The "Analytics Department" is looking for "predictive Modeling/Data Mining" specialists to join the campaign's "multi-disciplinary team of statisticians," which will use "predictive modeling" to anticipate the behavior of the electorate. "We will analyze millions of interactions a day, learning from terabytes of historical data, running thousands of experiments, to inform campaign strategy and critical decisions."

Toe the line or try to get elected in Cleveland!
Haha, Tecs and AA's posterboy gets his anus handed to him!

Hyperbolic fashion
From the comments: I especially like the 6-dimensional Kahler manifold panties. Paris show.

Death to Triangles!
A very bad day for Euclid...... It's gonna be a blast when they turn attention to those arithmetic symbols.

A Very Strange Consequence of the Days of Clinton?
The Balkans may not be worth the bones of a single British grenadier.....but the bones that lie there do not do so quietly.
This critter is all stinking bullshit, of course. The connection between anger at bombing Serbia in the 1990's and going to an island full of children and calmly gunning them down, exists only in his own, pure, evil. [there is also only a very farfetched connection between his bomb at the government building and etc..., but at least with a government institution--given his premisses-- you can grasp his version of "A implies B"].
Again, I cannot believe this egomaniacal idiot Kazcynski wannabe only faces 21 years in prison. It can't be right.

But Muhammad is Ok?
If NZ is going to go Name Nazi, why not at least have consistency as to those nasty names.
A Ted Kaczynski type?
La Contessa rosa
Ah, but she has a Certificate of Contemporary Europe following her political studies in Strasbourg, France. Meaning, what?
Yet Again Obamakles Pines for Versailles
Apparently it is tough to have Versaillean tastes but not yet have that absolute Versaillean power.
Rot in the manhole
That's what happens when you're holding your wallet tight, trying to avoid settling the tab.

Pinko logick never fails to astound
Maybe that Norse PM should have paid closer attention to defending his country against terrorism instead of regurging ad nauseam the AlGore party line.
Back to Black
With a slight modification to Tecumseh's post, "How to Spurn a Musical Career".A refrain we will hear again, such an end.
How to spur a musical career
Kryl was insistent that his daughters become professional musicians. He offered each $100,000 if they were to remain single until the age of 30, so that their careers would not be stalled by the distractions of romance. Josephine spurned this offer in order to marry Dr. Paul White, director of the Rochester Civic Orchestra. Marie initially took the same course of action when she became engaged to Greek Count Spiro Hadji-Kyriacos. However, Marie broke her engagement and was able to collect the full amount from her father.
Hat tricks for the court eunuchs
For his next trick, he’ll walk out on to the stage of Carnegie Hall, announce that he’s going to play Haydn’s Cello Concerto No. 2, and, even though there’s no cello in sight and Obama immediately climbs back in his golf cart to head for the links, music critics will hail it as one of the most moving performances they’ve ever heard.

Life in Rottea
Article $m$, Section $n$ never applies, says Mr Rot. For a man's house is his castle, et domus sua cuique tutissimum refugium? Naah.

What's wrong with "train station"?
My favourite one was where Americans claimed their family were "Scotch-Irish". This of course it totally inaccurate, as even if it were possible, it would be "Scots" not "Scotch", which as I pointed out is a drink. No kiddin'.
Wikileak Street Journal
Tecs and AA to a T:
It would require too much introspection among people whose primary emotional mode is furious, and perpetual, self-righteousness.

A Massachusetts candidate we can all get behind!
Tecs and AA because they just love Massachusetts pinkos like Romney and Kerry, and roT loves the idea of throwing Scott Brown out on his ass on general principle.

Philly police has a great, anti-Rotter idea
Pedestrians who text while they walk without looking ahead will also be targeted. .. The citations include $120 fines. Okey-dokey.

Steyn dyspeptic
On current projections, by 2020 all it will take to finance the government of the United States is for the rest of the planet to be willing to sink 19 percent of its GDP into U.S. Treasury debt. Which Kitchen and Chinn say is technically doable. Yeah. In the same sense that me dating Scarlett Johansson is technically doable.
University of Chicago's Death Eater
Brooks is a fine example that the best Versaillean lapdog is the dog who wants nothing more than to lap up the bon bons proffered to those in the lap of Versailles.

So it was a success story!
Muhammad Iqbal, addressing the All-India Muslim league, made the case for a state in which India's Muslims would realize their "political and ethical essence."
I love happy endings.
I love happy endings.
Of course Tecs and AA would just love it
There is an old saying about life in Göttingen, still inscribed in Latin nowadays on the wall of the entrance to the Ratskeller (the restaurant located in the basement of the old town hall): Extra Gottingam non est vita, si est vita, non est ita (There is no life outside Göttingen. Even if it is life, it is no life like here).
"Ancient university towns are wonderfully alike. Göttingen is like Cambridge in England or Yale in America: very provincial, not on the way to anywhere - no one comes to these backwaters except for the company of professors. And the professors are sure that this is the centre of the world. There is an inscription in the Rathskeller there which reads 'Extra Gottingam non est vita', 'Outside Göttingen there is no life'. This epigram, or should I call it epitaph, is not taken as seriously by the undergraduates as by the professors."(Bronowski, 1973, The Ascent of Man, p. 360)

Jailarity ensues. At which, AA starts chanting, “Libertad! Libertad!”

Beer Archaeologist
I jump on and off FCP when I can, so this very well may have been already posted. If not here it is; finally some worthwhile archaeology. ~mft
AA, looks like you got out of there in good time...
...our new era in race relations means that we get to guess at the criminals' descriptions.
