    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    What I remember most about the Clay Davis scandal is that no one really wanted to investigate him that heavily because they were afraid of what they would find out. It seems like everyone in the State knew exactly how dirty he was. He was too big to fail! It's the triple-cut sheeeeeeeit...

    Fair. For Clay is really depends on who he's kicking up to and that is never stated or implied. If he's not kicking up then he is an equal opportunity swindler. I assume that he's kicking up to lifelong contacts, either career politicians themselves in the apparatus of the State or serving...

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    Yeah, I think if you put Stringer in that room at the end of the series instead of Marlo you have an entirely different dynamic. Stringer would probably accept the role of house American Inventor and seethe. Marlo can't. And Clay is basically a house American Inventor. I'm not American Inventorword baiting... it's a VERY...

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    Ah you give Stringer 15 years, Lawyer Levi, and drug money money I think he's on his way to becoming something like Senator Clay. It doesn't happen as quickly as Stringer naively thinks it does was the joke to me. And it doesn't happen because Stringer is the smartest drug dealer in town. It...

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    If Stringer had won the Avon/Stringer schism he probably would have found a way to hire Marlo. Stinger was aiming to go legit while keeping his cut. As the series ends Marlo is realizing that he cannot be legit, and he doesn't want to be. Stringer was on his way to becoming Senator Clay...

    If you mean it literally like that then yeah. "Concentration camp" is pretty common vernacular for places like Auschwitz. Maybe it shouldn't be, but it is. It is indeed a giant enclosed slum. Rats go insane when you force them to live in unhealthy population densities, and they're just...

    Calling it a concentration camp detracts from what it actually is, rather than drawing attention to what it actually is.

    You've got to respect some of the minds in Hamas. Their propaganda works. It is subjectively evil, but it works.

    Ooooh. I think he's saying that they can SEE they're hitting civilian targets. Yeah. But because of the nature of Hamas everything is a civilian target. He fails or refuses to recognize the difference between discriminate and indiscriminate violence. That's a justifiable moral position...

    I would think they do employ recon drones. If they're trying to pinpoint exactly where the attacks are coming from it seems like an eye in the sky would be incredibly useful. At least it seems like a better plan than bombing houses at random. How does this become a mark against them? I...

    Its weird how binary your thinking is and how you just ignore feedback loops. Look, I know that House MD said it's never 2 things. But the thing is, it's almost always at least 2 things. It's also lupus a lot of times.

    It's not pulling anything out of my ass to observe that written history contains a trend of social groups both becoming larger and less prone to violence. So I mean you can be angry if you want to be.

    It probably did. And civilization is probably a selective pressure against natural roid rage. I think you can see that interplay in written history, so it won't surprise me if you can find it occuring in unwritten history. We don't have gills anymore either.

    Favorite Porn Star?

    Usually eurosluts. They don't seem to feel the need to cover themselves in ugly tattoos. Or else they photoshop them out in editing, I dunno. You know how you know you're a fag? When you see a trampstamp and decide that her knees are too sharp. But still, man. Ugh.

    Men got killed too. The difference is that it was easier for a woman to be unorthodox than a man. A man was allowed to decide to be unorthodox. A woman would stumble into heresy through ignorance. A man also had more defensive support for his unorthodox behaviors and ideas. Because...

    I went looking for it last night. The only place I think you'd be able to find data is in the actual presentation they gave at the conference. And I don't know if you're going to be able to access that without either having been there or having a JPL/Nasa card that you have to swipe to get...

    I like that Jason Biggs got a role that doesn't involve him sticking his dick in a fruit of some sort. And I think that he does a really good job with Larry, tbh. The character itself is shitty. Larry got a whole lot better in s2! He's just kind of an idiot but he is trying to mostly "do...

    They found the CMB basically by accident. It would be really great if some outliers managed to get lucky. Let us remember the sacrifice of those early, brave jaunt research volunteers. Back in the early days the only trigger was imminent death, and it was not a reliable method of induction.

    I don't know. But it's a blog site and it says that he's been a contributor. He probably was posting without an editor. Or maybe he wasn't. I really don't know. I really only read the link. The fact remains that it was immediately retracted instead of incorporated into their constitution...
