I'm referring to the rapturous applause and hollering Dawkins received whenever he responded to one of the Liberty students. It came across to me like, "take that sucker!" Dawkins is a great orator, no doubt, but I don't think he was providing substantive enough answers to warrant that level of support. There was no "slam dunk". That's me though. I also think Dawkin's could have handled the dumb question, "What if you're wrong?" a little more graciously. I don't see the point in being a prick to the group of people he was debating, because then that's all they're going to remember about him.

What would an Inglewood Jack stub get me?

I thought the Dawkins' talk was interesting and he pulled me in more as he went along but he also tended to come across as a bully and that was only reinforced by the mostly pro-Dawkins crowd. I don't really get off on any group of people being mocked and it felt like that's what was happening towards the end.

Ok, how about some rough measurements then. This looks like a good set of ingredients but is no use to the kitchen clueless like me.

The new Sufjan Stevens Christmas album is really, really good if your looking to upgrade someone's holiday tunes. Stream it here: http://www.asthmatickitty.com/suf_xmas/suf_xmas.php

What about the eggs?

The last time Ottawa football fans tasted glory. Tony Gabriel touchdown, 1976 I miss the CFL in Ottawa!

I find it's always important to remember that "political correctness" was a tag created on the left for the left' date=' to keep people's tendency towards whitewashing language in check. The right, of course, have been the ones to pick up and run with it.[/quote'] "Political Correctness" and "PC" are my least favourite words of the past 15 years. The phrase should be an addendum to Godwin's law. Coincidentally, I remember Biafra talking about the subject on Much Music back in '90ish. He was talking about a Newsweek article and how it had co-opted the term to smear what it also called "thought police" on college campuses, hippies basically. Hey -- another mischievously co-opted term! (cue California Uber Alles)

But what does your brain scan say?

I bet Brandon Bochenksi could.

My favourite from today: Quit smoking, don't just cut back, to prevent early death: study

Yep, that is what I suspected you were referring to, but with the holes in my memory I thought it best to ask. Got a copy from Joseph last year!

Ok, Hackett joined them for the Firth of Fifth encore in London... Collins for The Musical Box in Geneva... when did Rutherford share the stage?

It's not just "E" that might permanently damage your brain: Violent video game effects linger in brain

Only if you're indie.

Yeah, he's really pandering to his audience. The article is as much an attack on jambands as it is about The Slip and as such is a disservice.

don't you mean [color:purple]Nice to see they also embody the spirit.? I'm boycotting purple. But I think the sentence works either way.

Nice to see they also embody the spirit.

Three's Company. Nope' date=' the male lead in Three's Company was John Ritter. The Tom Hanks sit-com was Bosom Buddies. Aloha, Brad Thanks wet blanket.

So you gonna B&P this one for me Greg?

Why do you hate Canada?

Three's Company.

Who knew we had small hard drives in common?

I'd be down for that if we can find a weekend that works. But the Georgetown doesn't start serving until 11 AM does it?
