Somebody put Rexy on suicide watch--Bea Arthur has passed away.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 01:57 AM) Results from a poll in a men's magazine reveal that 26% of women are thinking about this during sex. What is it? Take a guess. Work--or doing it themselves.

Happy happy belated b-day!

Nope, I've worked enough s***ty jobs to not do it.

1.) Kierkegaard and Existentialism (sounds lame, but was so awesome) 2.) Conditioning and Learning 3.) Religious Pluralism (looked at Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism and Judaism) 4.) The Ethics of Jesus 5.) Art History (1880-present) Honorable mention: The American Studies sequence, 4 classes, that I took in college. But that may have been because I was with an awesome cohort.

Well, it being JPS Day does explain why some of my friends took the day off from work. . .

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 11:13 AM) Did you go to school with Jesse Ventura's daughter? Ha! No, I doubt he could get re-elected.

So, the father of one of my good friends from college just threw his hat in the gubernatorial race in Minnesota.

My "last" dissertation experiment is complete crap. Damn.

So there's this old lady that works in my building and she has the WORST potty problem. Ugh, she renders the bathroom completely unuseable for HOURS. Seriously, if your problem is THAT bad maybe it's time to retire. Blerg.

Sometimes. I try not to--but sometimes it's just called for.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 11:46 AM) It's kind of like Chicago vs. the rest of IL. Except that upstate NY has some of the most beautiful parks and scenery I've ever seen. Upstate >>>>>>>>> Downstate (I suppose that is true for both IL and NY).

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 11:38 AM) I think that speaks volumes about Texas that a quarter of their residents are at least not opposed to it though. How many other states would even top 10%? Well maybe Hawaii and Alaska, possibly Utah but thats it. I bet at least 50% of New Yorkers would support Long Island seceding--although most of them probably wouldn't be from Long Island. . .

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 04:50 PM) I always wanted to go to New England. I heard Burlington, VT is pretty cool. Owego, NY got ranked Americas "coolest town". Btw, the thing about Owego is a dirty, dirty, dirty lie.

14 confirmed dead (gunman "probably" among them) per the chief of police 4 more in critical condition Alleged gunman was recently laid off from IBM. Went into a classroom of immigrants taking the citizenship test and opened fire. Gov Paterson said "there is still an American dream."

Sounds like it was a single shooter. The two people who were taken out in plastic cuffs are not suspects and there was no foot chase.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 3, 2009 -> 03:35 PM) Isn't actually a picture of a farmer and his spinster daughter?

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 3, 2009 -> 02:59 PM) That's very apt, but perhaps only to Iowa. Missouri is bats*** crazy, imo. The things that get added to our constitution are just embarrassing. I feel like it's maybe true more for the upper midwest than the lower parts.

Here's the thing. I feel like people think that the midwest is really conservative and all that. But I don't think it is very socially conservative--I think it's really just that people are more private. I'm not surprised at all by this ruling.

Clearest minute to minute updates.

NYT is reporting that one of the gunmen is dead. Others are what was taken out in cuffs?

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 3, 2009 -> 02:37 PM) No i keep hearing conflicting reports from a couple of places. Hard to tell what is rumor and who actually has connections so I dont want to post things that are not true. I understand.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 3, 2009 -> 02:27 PM) Havent heard but apparently the police have confirmed to the governor's office that there are 13 dead inside the building. So it could rise depending on what happens to those taken to the hospital. Have you heard anything about the who or why?
