“Adam Scott, original author of the Bulls Balls article, did not respond when asked to comment on this decision, probably because his email now filters out messages with the phrase “Bulls Balls” in them.“ And he should, as he put up a picture of an imitators product…

Everyone should consider attending one of our upcoming free health screening events. After a simple fingerstick you will have a physician consultation and receive educational materials about any conditions for which you may be at risk. The whole process will only take 20 minutes, and no appointments are necessary. Please fast for…

Thank you Smile Politely for doing this interview.  International law professor Francis Boyle is an amazing person. I fully support his filed complaints against the Bush II administration for their crimes. If these people are not held responsible for their illegal actions, then current and future Administrations…

and the other half?  do I detect damning with faint praise?  But I get your drift about the six seats sold, although they will be competing for something with a leg up. Not that it would matter to one of the top, um, 20 or so, no…

I’m not sure what I mean, either.   I may be echoing the off-the-cuff sentiments of Dean Hurd: It really doesn’t matter if those last six seats were sold to the highest bidder. The six least-qualified people aren’t going to be competing for big dollars.    But…

I’m not quite sure what Rob’s somewhat cryptic comments indicate, but I’ll make a guess: the comment about 90 percent of UI grads not being up to snuff is bitterly sarcastic (and rightly so).  The point is that the ratings and rankings game is endemic in the…

@Stuart: Speaking as a U of I LAS grad, you learn me.  @UrbanaJake: I agree with your anger.  BUT, “They could NEVER be part of that 10 percent because they weren’t clouted.“ isn’t true.  And since we know you said it to make a point, I get…

Rob, You are Exhibit A in being a drone. No one cares—you are part of a scam. Blacks, Chicanos, others, didn’t get a fair shake. They could NEVER be part of that 10 percent because they weren’t clouted. Now they sit with no law degree and are…

When I was in law school (‘95-‘98) the big firms were interviewing ONLY the top 10% of each class. It said so in black & white on the little cards posted outside the career services office.   That’s 18 to 21 people.   Why? Because their studied…

Well perhaps I did have a bone to pick, Stuart. Given the Law School scandal has little to do with a prof trying to make a worthwhile point in an international forum. I owe you a beer at your favorite watering hole. Maybe I live in a world…

Awesome looking lineup… I’m excited.  Another vote towards the Smoking Popes rocking out at the first Laughing Prairie Dog festival… it was a pretty good energy, and plenty of groups considering the cheap ticket.  The rest all look pretty good for the ticket price as well.  …

(Not to talk too much, but I would delight in being proven wrong.  I hope that there are many vegan dishes, and next time I am there, I will ask the owner for dishes that are vegan that are offered and post them as a comment here,…

I understand the disclaimer, and I appreciate it, but given the title of the article, it would be nice to have more of a talk with the owner and less of a “to the best of my knowledge” thrown in the article as an aside, when vegan…

Nate, No offers to crash but I was wondering if you’d ever considered publishing the plans to your trailer.  You might make a dollar or two especially after you go solar! Let me know if you do it. Sincerely, Don

Not sure if it’s been mentioned here, but they’ll also be playing the Old Rock House in St. Louis on May 22

Interesting about who owns land in the path of the Olympian Drive extension. My comment was in response to ‘Tony C’s remarks about the I-74 expansion. Just who owns land in the 150 [BloomingtonRd]-I-74 corridor?? Because the corridor is zoned for future use as Commercial/Industrial, I am…

Wow, great article.  I wish you the best in your endeavors and hope you have a nice trip.

Um. Yeah — check out that “General Disclaimer” at the bottom of the article, folks.

As an adoptee, I can empathize—although I’m not an international adoptee, and I apologize if I’m assuming too much on the nature of your adoption.  You can feel what you feel, but don’t be too hard on yourself.  When I started a search for my birth family,…

I highly doubt a single dish is vegan at Bombay.  Most Indian dishes use Ghee(essentially clarrified butter) as the base fat. While I guess they could make some dishes with canola oil, I would for sure ask the exact ingredients before I consumed if you are following a vegan diet.

You’re right!  Every runner, in my opinion, is a real runner.

Congratulations on the AG place! In all of your accomplishments, don’t forget what it was like to think a mile was an impossible distance. Getting to the six-mile point takes a lot of training and preparation to acclimate the mind and musculature to so much pounding. Your…

I heading out on my 9 miler before my 10 hour work day right now. Do I have what it takes?

Nice, killer work pretty man…the channeled, one sided collaborated rhyming poem.  An oft forgot genre.   The ruckus was felt even here in my living room, which is normally a safe haven from ruckus.

wait, I was commenting on the wrong thing - sorry - he’s actually a gigantic sellout but who really knows what all this is about.

If the democrats didn’t have Kucinich, and the republicans didn’t have Ron Paul, where would both these parties really stand? These men actually mean what they say.

Joel, thank you for the opportunity to answer these questions and have them posted here. I really appreciate it! Yes, I was thrilled to see that Rep. Kucinich flipped today, so he will has committed to voting yes for health reform. I appreciated his comments which seem…
