REGURGE: Ghailani’s lawyer praised the verdict as “a reaffirmation that this nation’s judicial system is the greatest ever devised.” Or, in other words, “Thanks for everything, suckers.”
Good to seer you're finally starting to appreciate my savoir-faire (if you dig my French), but how come you did not also comment on my title? Far as I know, I'm the first one in the Universe to have thought of this particular pun. Am I gonna get recognition for that?
From the comments to Lowry's piece: If someone is responsible for the conspiracy to blow up buildings (A), and if it's foreseeable that people would die if the buildings were blown up (B), then persons responsible for the conspiracy are responsible for the resulting deaths (C).
Or, in honor of John Derbyshire: If A=B, and B=C, then A=C.
Oh, c'mon. $\Rightarrow \neq =$. Jeepers, how low are we sinking with the Rotter Logick in action?
WTF are you talking about? The guy clearly writes A=B and B=C, when on the face of it A \ne B, and B\ne C. It's like those undergrads who put in equal signs randomly, to signify something, like God knows why, but anything except equality, which should have a definite (and unique) meaning. No?
Exact label choice, Tecs! All this advice I have been giving you is finally paying off.
ReplyDeleteI would maybe have put "Ukraine" in there also, but "Brownie..." is right on.

ReplyDeleteAh, sorry. I thought you were upset that he was invoking the transitivity of equality when the transitivity of a partial order was enough.
ReplyDeleteI should like, uh, read, but I am up to my arse in awful \lesssims today.
My collabo in Deutschland told me to avoid this problem, but did I listen?
It's gross.
Also, I had to make do with the last shriveled piece of Kaiserfleisch today at lunch, Tecs!
ReplyDeleteI went in at 1220 and they were already out.
WTF is that?
Is it kosher to kvetch about Kaiserfleisch?
ReplyDeleteOnly if you have to eat it with Knishes.
ReplyDeleteK^4. Even more rathith than I am!
ReplyDeletePut the kibosh on knishes and kaiserfleisch, or else your keister is gonna weigh a hundred kilos.
