Stolen from Facebook: "I fully support our President's desire to go to war with North Korea. Not our military, of course. Just the President."

I'd rather watch Texas Hold 'Em on television than play any collectible card game.

Panama. Because Van Halen. I thought we'd been over this. Choral Smackdown! Vienna Boys Choir vs. Mormon Tabernacle Choir

Just out of curiosity, does completion of the program in question result in a BA or a BS? (Incidentally, at my alma mater, it is possible to earn a BA in biology, but not in chemistry, physics, or mathematics.)

So, I just read on Yahoo! Sports that Ezekiel Elliott has been suspended six games for domestic violence. And then--what the #€£! was I thinking?!--I started reading the comments. The large majority (80%+) said, with varying degrees of eloquence, that Elliott shouldn't have been suspended because no criminal charges were filed, and that the Commissioner is a dictator who has too much power. Is this a normal response? Am I really that solidly in the minority that thinks a guy who mistreated women on three different occasions got off easy? Help me understand.

There was an article in one of the SLC papers about how eclipse-viewers should bring hard currency and paper maps with them, because the sheer volume of tourists might overwhelm technological resources in the mostly-rural areas of Idaho and Wyoming where the eclipse can be seen.

"Political", and what else? "Library"?

Hey, are you a Beach Boys fan, too?
