On Will the Chilean Miner's Collective Media Bargaining End Like Destiny's Child Did?
Spoiler Alert: The "Beyonce' Miner"'s lawyer will make the argument that the contract was signed under duress and mental instability. Had the contract not been signed, the repercussions of breaking from the group would have mimicked Lord of the Flies.
Further, the economic argument stands that these men essentially have a 97% tax on all earnings from the ordeal. The incentive to be lazy and let others do the work is extraordinary.

On Jon Stewart's March Toward False Consensus
@Mike That was a great party! Nah, this one was a bunch of hipsters toting anarchy as the optimal government form while drinking PBR and J.D. (not a joke, this was the party...and the primary reason I'm happy to be done with college).

On Jon Stewart's March Toward False Consensus
Rofl:
"Being an academic, however, I noticed that (aside from that second sentence being horribly run-on) this is a textbook example of what's called the "false consensus effect." I'll let Wikipedia do the heavy lifting for me in this regard"
"I am also a freelance writer on the subjects of pop music, politics, and...I dunno, culture? "
I think this I met this guy at a party once...

On Horror Chick: 'Devil': The Further Fall of the House of M. Night Shyamalan
So, I haven't seen it yet, but here is how it *should* end. With three people left in the elevator, two are convinced that the third is the murderer. They kill him to protect themselves.
Of course, shortly after it is revealed that on of the two is the homicidal maniac. He gives the "Psycho" stare and proceeds to murder the final elevator passenger. With a pool of blood on the elevator floor, the lights flicker off for two seconds, come back on with the man having vanished.
Roll credits.
Commence hack writing comments :P

You could always just use it to describe Hummers and Bentleys...

On A Milestone That Forever Changed The Landscape Of Rite-Aid's Musical Offerings
Oh, I see, they really pulled the hat trick off and fit in all those categories. They persevered a decade and a half before reaching Loverboy level "awesomeness" and crashing back down at the turn of the millenium.

On What Terrible Crime Against America Did Obama Commit Now?
O’Donnell can’t remember the gist of the First Amendment and TWS cares about Obama’s small error in a fundraiser speech. Somehow, I think his Muslim/Atheist (roll-eyes) are the least of our worries.
\"But, in any event, does the president believe in the Declaration?\" This sentence and the paragraph that follows pretty much eliminates any credibility of the author.
