Ted's Comments

SD Tom has been waxing nostalgic these last few posts.

People are hired based on their looks all the time. That's why we dress up for job interviews. That's why real estate agents drive fancy cars. That's why the Russian pope wears fancy watches - ummm, maybe not.

Given the penchant for sanctimoniousness in the health care industry, I don't see why they can't be held up to a standard of good health.

Big ballers? Not sure what that means, but I know what it sounds like.

They may have removed the watch to improve the picture, for cosmetic purposes, and not to tone down the ostentation. Dude should still come clean and say, "It's none of your business what watch I wear". If he lied, then that's just wrong.

But that's where the problem lies. Messes on that scale are not likely to be contained to just one section of the car.

Indeed, it has an air of plausibility, but the appearance of being staged.

DPruitt, politics aside (please, dear God, no more politics!), the whole Live Long and Prosper shtick should be strictly Leonard Nimoy's shtick. But it has come to stand for Star Trek itself. George Takei flogs it, Nichelle Nichols flogs it - it's just what they do.

We seem to forget the importance of her existence on a show like Star Trek meant. Even in her mini-skirt and 60's female "operator" position, she represented a future where black people weren't marginalized. Obama, whatever you may think of his politics, represents the same thing to a lot of people, in a world where Jim Crow still seems to be the order of the day in some circles.

LOL. SO instead of making millions from Benetton ads, they should be exploited by millions of people looking at their picture on the Internet for free?

Too bad there's not an undo button for your comment, Craig.

Wow, according to the time stamp, the police were there in less than 30 seconds. That's a new record.

I like the sign at the end: "Bikes may use full lane". Is it saying that it's permissible for a bike to use the full lane, or is it indicating a possibility, like "Container may explode when heated" or "Bridge may be icy"?

That's a pretty busy road - with that barrier up, I would have probably taken my bike on the sidewalk. There's a reason why the barrier is there, after all.

Funny, I'm the first person to mention that the bus driver is endangering the lives of his/her passengers by placing them directly in the path of a desperate driver in the act of committing a crime.

Cosmo, did you even read Sandy's comment before your knee-jerk condemnation?

As for occupying an entire lane, when I ride a bike, I'm not an ass about it. I keep to the right and am polite as I can be. Many cyclists, especially the ones in spandex, are not so considerate.

Is the spandex so tight on their nads it makes them nasty?
