Yeah I know it's just the same "oh you probably are doing this as a holdover until you find something better" that is why anybody gets turned down for being overqualified. Still kind of a funny story, though.

e: Also it shows that whoever was doing the hiring thinks the job is unappealing or has bad compensation and that someone would think it's a poor opportunity.

The best part about the "Fox viewers don't know poo poo" is that they included Daily Show/Colbert Report viewers in that poll. So people who get their news from a pair of comedians were better informed than alleged actual news.

It is quite impressive that making jokes about real events puts less of a spin than your average Fox News report.

I'm only on book 7 so I don't know if this is true or not. :saddowns:

Ehhh, it's fine. The styles are different but unlike some of these things, Jordan's notes on what was gonna happen were pretty dang solid and he actually wanted someone else to finish it after he died. It wasn't a huge deal for me.

In fact I would probably have preferred it if Sanderson had fleshed out the ending that Jordan wrote it before he died but he left it 100% as it was.

It's a really good example of power gap potentially screwing with what you would ordinarily call consent, but it pisses me off when the McCoys do it because I know they wouldn't give a poo poo about it if it was someone they liked.

Taking poo poo horribly out of context is a time-honored tradition.

Back when Arlen Specter was running as a Democrat his Republican opponent cherrypicked a line from something he said in response to accusations that he did it to get re-elected. So there were a bunch of radio ads with him saying "My change in party will enable me to be re-elected."

Has anyone in the west been jailed for showing support for a free Palestine? A lot of Israel-friendly groups keep throwing the accusation at anyone who looks at them funny, but nobody really take them serious on these matters anymore because of it.
I mean, Charlie Hebdo themselves have been massively critical of Israel during the past few years.

I don't think so? No matter what some hardcore Israel supporters say, disagreeing with/criticizing the Israeli government's policies doesn't fall under anti-semitism rules. I think.

Seriously. The image makes sense on its own, and the caption makes sense with a different image (if you accept the GOP line that Robin Hood is a bad guy), but the image combined with the caption makes no sense.

Unrelated, looks like the GOP is getting an early start on eating their own this cycle (has McCain said anything that would suggest he would ever run again).



Nah, McCain has done the standard major-party "welp, I had my candidacy and failed, not trying it again." Romney is actually pretty unusual by saying he'd do it again. I'd be surprised if he manages any decent amount of votes this time since he got himself in as a failure back in 2012.

(And then the right "Anyone But Mitt"s itself right back into running him again :getin: )

Well, we've seen the first cartoonist actually take the anti-vaxxers' side. Took a surprisingly long time, actually, as their stance on most issues usually correlates 100% with Obama's stance. I wouldn't have thought it would be Gorrell, though -- smart money was on Wise or Branco.

Wise strikes me as more likely to advocate just hitting your kid if they show autism.
