Dear students, faculty and staff,

Hope you enjoyed break. Class is back in session!

New thread time.

[Mr. Morden]

The other thread is awful now.  This is the real comedy goldmine, as far as I'm concerned.

My first entry:

Enjoy your final hours as a moderator.

Re. Dave Leip's CSPAN "appearance":

Too bad we didn't know about this in advance, or one of us could have called into the show, to ask about adding Torie as a mod to Individual Politics.

"Stuff they do on hard wood" is presumably what BSB is talking about.

I know that's a basketball reference, but cheerleaders do perform on the hard wood.  So, it's still not a gaffe, IMO.

In case anybody has missed it, Politico is currently suggesting that people who are made to feel unwelcome in a particular community are better off leaving than sticking around and putting up with the abuse.

Gloating isn't funny, Mordan.

[Mr. Morden]

Mitt Romney is not a governor. He is an ex-governor. The governor of Massachusetts is Deval Patrick.

In America, ex-politicians are generally called by their most recent office held as a matter of courtesy, which is why (for instance) Bill Clinton is still introduced as President Clinton and Mitt Romney is still Governor Romney.

I've always thought it's a pretty ridiculous custom. You don't see the BBC calling Tony Blair the Prime Minister, for example.

Thankfully the UK doesn't have ridiculous titles given for life.

Re your sig Grumps of which I just took cognizance, I would note that many priests and I do have something in common.

Reminds me of that one city entrance sign in Frankfurt that's been amusing me for years despite the crass lowbrowness of the statement.
