And that 32.8% better wait till spoken to first!

That UC Davis chancellor feels terrible about having to look for another job soon. I think she should keep an eye out for a warden position at some private prison.

I had something really witty to say about that awesome New Yorker cover, but then I got distracted by the jaw-droppingly delicious looking godiva chocolate thingy that popped up along with the comment box. REALLY, Portland Mercury? I know you secretly want all your women readers to become self loathing funny fat chicks with nothing else to do with their time but craft Lord of the Rings haiku and make poly-friendly propositions to the dungeons and dragons nerds obsessed with using obscure New York Times articles to prove a decades old political point. But. SERIOUSLY. Chocolate porn is going too far. TOO FAR I SAY.

I like the New Yorker cover a lot, but it got be thinking: If Native Americans knew then what they know now, is there any doubt that they'd do everything possible to keep the pilgrims the hell outta Plymouth Rock? I get the message that the artist is trying to convey, but when you think about it, I think it makes a stronger case for strict border controls (which I don't support, btw, so save it).
