HEY! Would it kill you to give a "Not Safe for ANYWHERE" warning when linking to George Will? Like people do when they link to porn? Just as a courtesy to your readers? I don't want to see out the end of the year with that guy under my skin.
I've known a lot of potheads and mushroom devotes in my day (which, by the way, was Thursday), but I swear to whatever deity just happens to be watching, this fucker is waaay out there. If he is smoking weed etc., he must be getting some primo shit. Exhibit uhIdunno W: Yet the Constitution still constitutes And they published this in WaPo.
Also, "constitute" is a transitive verb, at least in Standard American English.
I think he did mushrooms while lying out under the stars in his backyard. They found him in the morning, clutching a potted plant and singing "I Am A Bill."
Complaining about the inaccuracy of numbers that were clearly made up for the sake of hyperbole may be irredeemably nerdy, but the eerie pseudo-precision of Will's "99.9 (and about 58 more 9s) percent of the universe" is really bothers me. A high estimate for number of atoms in the universe is 10^81, so if the earth is 1/10^61 of the universe, the earth would consist of less than .001 moles of matter.
If you assume a cubic universe (like Bizzaroworld, Will's home planet) with a diameter a bit over 10**20 that of earth, the volume is about 10**61, as he claimed.
I figgered that out after making the first comment, the one I deleted.
McMegan is awful, just awful, but at least she's no longer employed by The Atlantic. Still, no one can read her every day and live, so we've all but given up trying. Let's just be glad her upwards failure has leveled off. Posts here will likely remain few and far between, as will my tweets. M. is still at his place and twitter and now also Whiskey Fire, and Clem maintains well deserved alumnus privileges.
for some reason Google slowly deletes votes from random polls. I think they're trying to rig the results for Jebus. You know Google, always going on about the Good Book and His word...
Who should be fired?
Who is the biggest embarassment to their respective organization?
Which fictional poor kid does Megan picture in her mind when writing about inner city public schools?
Who is the biggest methed-up self-hating queen?
Who's worst at accepting criticism?
Who has the worst case of Clinton derangement syndrome?
Who is Megan's secret dream candidate for President?
If/when Hillary drops out, who will Megan shift her hatred onto?

You can't convince me Will doesn't smoke a lot of weed. A whole lot.
What CP is trying to say, but is too polite to, is "oh fuck you sideways, NoT." No disrespect or nothin'.
Malaclypse,

Susan,
you sure it was "I Am A Bill" and not "We The People?"
That's much better.

He was talking volume, not mass.
