And then he "died".

Either he's actually dead, in which case he wasn't punished for what he did, but for threatening to expose other powerful people, or he's alive and living in exile.

Probably the former, but when it comes to the wealthy and powerful, I won't rule anything out.

    That's a good point, and it supports mine in fact. The legislation I want would be something like health care reform. When the administration's goals aren't and were never to create lasting meaningful change for the average citizen, when the judiciary rubber stamps things we all know are wrong, the legislative process becomes obsolete.

    We aren't measuring success by the same metrics as they are.

    I actually feel bad for the one who apologized. She deserves to be reprimanded and taught why her actions were unacceptable, not national outrage.

    18 year olds do stupid things. University is the first time a lot of 18 year olds leave their comfort zone and interact with people from other cultures. People that young don't always realize the prejudices they hold until they're forced to confront them.

    Some things were better before everything was recorded and posted on the internet. A ten second clip of drunk girls doing something dumb and insensitive and now the whole country is coming down on them. Absolutely insane.

    Can you imagine if a ten second clip of something stupid you did when you were 18 on your way to a house party went viral like this?

    A bidet in general. Everyone should have one in their home. Even a cheap one.

    When I first installed mine, I didn't get what all the fuss was about. Then I went on vacation. Imagine my horror when I realized that hotel bathrooms don't have bidets. I bought myself a portable bidet bottle after that. It's not the same but it's still better than smearing poop off with dry paper.
