Sir Kodiak posted:"Statistics" and "physics" being different things is not pedantry. Sorry that pointing this out got you upset, but it's not exactly a minor distinction. Physics is a statistical model at its most fundamental level.

If insurers stop covering high school football teams, a lot of programs will be eliminated and the talent funnel will shrivel all the way up the chain. Please, you know football will be the next thing there is a "War on..." Edit: Also the ravens really have no business winning anything this year.

I have a cousin who is a high school football coach. It was amazing to watch him spin the concussion scandal. "Well, you see no sport is with out risk. People are just panicking because 'concussion' sounds scary. But we used to just call it 'getting your bell rung' and everyone was fine with it".

It really is a slow day on the political news circuit. Eliot Spitzer and Martin O'Malley's deputy campaign manager, Lis Smith, have ended their torrid gossip-fodder relationship.

Well technically right now any DA could use civil forfeiture to seize all guns in america. Doing that even once would be a great way to get rid of civil forfeiture!

Ted Cruz almost certainly has it worse, but then again Ted Cruz is the kind of guy who thrives on everyone hating him. Jeb probably is not.

Today in islamophobia: Elderly Sikh man waiting for a ride to work Saturday morning in Fresno. A car stops and two guys get out and start yelling at him. They hit him with the car and then beat him up when he's on the ground and drive away. At least he didn't die like the last time a Sikh was attacked in Fresno, he got off with a broken collarbone. http://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/crime/article51817840.html

Does anyone know more about this? Given how nasty and complex state budgets can get this feels like it could have been taken way out of context and he doesn't really attribute any evidence to it. Which Republican legislator was this? Which hospital? I mean don't get me wrong this is the mother fucker responsible for the Terri Schiavo shitcircus so I'm not putting it past him but i'd like some ammo on this.
