I support profiling in some instances, including cases like the summit, so I won't join Debitto's cause in this case, but his other efforts I support. In this case, if I were stopped by the cops, I think I might show my belongings, beccuase unlike the nebulous situation in Akihabara,…

Dreadful uniforms, but I think badminton is sexy. Quick, lithe movements and killer instincts. The sport for assasins.

America would like to leapfrog back into first place, but it'll probably have to waddle there instead. I wonder if rising oil prices will make a dent in obesity, since people will be less able to live in their cars and food prices will go up. Or will they just…
