Scalia, Torture and “24″
You may have already heard about it by now, but it’s just too good to pass up. The most esteemed conservative judge in America Anthony Scalia recently defended the use of torture by referring to the feats of none other than Jack Bauer - the fictional lead character on the show 24.

Someone owes me 27 dollars, plus tax
If there’s one thing I’ve always had a problem with it’s letting people borrow my books. I don’t like it and generally avoid it if possible.
There are probably multiple reasons for this, but the biggest one is people seem to have a big damned problem with not destroying other people’s belongings. This is [...]
