Did you know that there is no longer any reason to make a fuss about Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers? He was rehabilitated. At least that is the absurd assumption by Barack Obama that he claimed he had in a radio interview with Philiadelphia radio talk show host, Michael Smerconish. You can listen to the audio from Politico and here is the coverage of that radio interview (emphasis mine) via...
: She ripped off her book from every issue of Cosmopolitan since the 90's.I always see headlines along the lines of "what men rally want in bed" on the covers of those magazines, and I wonder how many different ways they can say "blowjobs" and "anal sex"
When I first began writing my autobiography -- over ten years ago -- I wrote it with what now seems to be a naive notion in mind. I had made the assumption that people would be able to read it and simply know the difference between right and wrong. I believed implicitly that by simply telling my narrative in a straight way -- as a narrative as such, and without additional commentary -- that people...
Oil and commodities prices collapsed yesterday as investors sold assets on the assumption that the world economy was heading irrevocably into recession. The...
Thanks to reader Jere for sending the link to this one. Adult film actor Mason Wyler was raped in late September by an Army officer who was also a fan of his. The details are available at the link above if you want to read about them. If you're operating under the assumption that rape is taken seriously in this day and age, this case will disabuse you of that notion. First, the police aren't taking...

To protect the depositors, the FDIC approved the assumption of all the deposits of Main Street Bank, by Monroe Bank & Trust, Monroe, Michigan. ... Main Street Bank had total
John Leo accuses Washington Post gunsel Dana Milbank of turning one bigot at a Sarah Palin rally into a generalized assumption that the crowd of nearly 5,000 shared his views. I think Leo’s a great columnist, but I think he make one big mistake here: He assumes that Milbank was telling the truth. As a city [...]
Nicole - Perfectly fine point re FDIC, as far as it goes. But the assumption that we needed the New Deal in order to have an FDIC or something like it isn't one I would buy, or concede. And, it's worth noting that as far as we know, the FDIC didn't do anything to prevent the situation we're in. Who knows what mechanisms, governmental or private, would have evolved absent its creation. I agree with...
The disaffection of Ohio’s working class. by George Packer October 13, 2008 “You can’t make the assumption that because people are suffering economically,” a union official said, that “they’ll vote Democratic.” Barbie Snodgrass had agreed to meet me at a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet, on a strip of fast-food restaurants and auto [...]
I could be totally wrong on this, but I've always worked under the assumption that all women (at least those familiar with Western culture) like the minor KROQ hit by Dramarama "Anything, Anything." After all, the band is still playing decent-sized club gigs these days. Asking Maura today to try to test the theory again, her answer was "it's ok," which isn't exactly a ringing endorsement, so maybe...
By the time you finished reading the title of this post (be it through feed-reader or through the site itself), you probably came under the assumption that I was going to talk about the UT running backs and how Foster seems to get all the carries while Vol Nation seems to think that Hardesty and Creer should be more involved. Well, as it turns out, you'd be right. Like you, I'm a little puzzled over...
Here’s a course for our historical moment…. Behavioral economics—”the study of how thinking and emotions affect individual economic decisions and the behavior of markets”—is a relatively new discipline. This approach to economics, which marries psychology and economics and discards the assumption that every economic actor is rational, was developed partly by Richard Thaler, Director of the Center [...]...
If you go to a person whose professional title is “therapist”, and you get sexually assaulted, how is this even actionable given that you should have known what was coming? What the hell ever happened to assumption of risk???
The ignorance of some voters is remarkable. Many people assume that the closer a democracy gets to 100% voter turn-out the better the result. That was certainly the assumption sloshing around the political studies department when I was at Auckland University. I have never held that belief. The higher the turn-out the more likely it is that the ignorant have cast an uninformed vote. The law, after all,...
