Some Democratic loyalists have explicitly argued that contrasting Obama with Ron Paul on these issues is warped because issues of war and civil liberties are, at best, ancillary concerns, whileothers have gone so far as to claim that only racial and/or gender bias —…
I was super against e-readers too for the simple reason that I love the experience of reading books. It stimulates my senses in all the good ways. But the thing is they are lighter than books and, for someone who travels alot, this is important as I just had to leave $300 worth of books in China. They went to a good home but I miss them still. Also school text books are becoming availabe online and you can highlight and bookmark on most e-readers now.
Stop the e-reader hate. Seriously.
YOU CAN READ FUCKING BOOKS ON FUCKING KINDLES. Sorry. I live in Japan. Shipping English books here would be a major pain in my ass so I’m buying a kindle. Sorry. I’m still reading, even if it’s in a different fucking format than ‘traditional’ books. I love books. I love the smell of books. I love the feel of books. I love books. But Kindles can be very fucking convenient and it doesn’t detract from the important part of reading— you know the actually damn story. jfc
AMEN to the commentary. I read about 20 books a week. On my Kindle.

Heartbroken doesn’t even begin to describe. This will undoubtedly go down as one of the great American tragedies of our time. A tragedy first and foremost for the victims, who were robbed of their innocence at such a young age. A tragedy for JoePa, who worked so hard for so many years only to not be granted a final home game. A tragedy for State College, who not only suffers the loss of its grandfather, but must also take on the damage done by the riots. And finally, a tragedy for the players, specifically the seniors, who will be spending their last home game overshadowed and coachless. Support the victims. Support the players. Support each other, and hope or pray that it all ends soon.
This person has a young son. How would she feel if it were HER son? Did she bother to read the grand jury report?
So totally disgusted with PSU apologists.
And yeah, I went to PSU. I’m totally unsurprised at there being a culture of denial and protection for the football program.
The Federal Communications Commission is hoping to close the digital divide by developing cheap high-speed Internet access for low-income households.
It had to be done
