Republicans are real good at playing loose with rules, laws and regulations; if they benefit from such shenanigans.

I switched to kindle, and now I'm able to read almost as much as I want because ebooks cost less, and take up no physical space. Unfortunately, prices have started to rise now. "first one's always free" I guess.

Lol yes I have. I meant if uptight overly anxious straight men were being judged in front of more of same, on national television. Actually, probably the worst offenders are the same ones who could never, ever compete in a male beauty pageant.

Oh, I'm sure she has an iron-clad non-complete clause in her contract. She'll never have another show on FOX.

As long as you don't change your avatar and your name at the same time. If you kept Empress + your avatar people will recognize you. I love the new handle BTW.

It is like Deja-Vu. Perhaps they have confirmed the rumor?

That is what I also think, but it wouldn't surprise me if she tries to pull some stunt that she "thinks" will allow her to double dip.

You are right about one thing--folks trying to get into politics as Republican candidates MOST DEFINITELY aren't interested in becoming educated.

Dude, not all of them are trying to get scholarships. Some are trying to become famous. And apparently get into politics as Republican candidates for Attorney General (Erika Harold in IL).

But who cares? We have contests for spelling. There are contests for "best rabbits" (4-H). Have a Mr. America contest. This is not something to get triggered about.

I've done some late-night research into that phenomenon.

But I'm a professional researcher

Somewhat O/T, but about a year ago I stopped reading physical books and switched entirely to audio books. I know I'm still consuming the same content, but for some reason I can't stop feeling like listening to books somehow "doesn't count".

I'm reading ("listening to") more books now than in the past 10 years, but I still feel like a philistine. It's weird.

That's proper headology, that is.

Why doesn't NBC just go ahead and hire Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck? Oh, yeah, they don't have breasts. Nevermind.

I read last week that fewer than 20% of Americans now read for pleasure. For those of us who remember Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, it's gettin' pretty scary.
