Alas, poor Borders
I'm gonna miss that chain. The first one I went into was probably next to UT Austin's campus; I don't even remember for sure. (UT Austin had several bookstores nearby, so Borders would've had tough competition.) Huge selection, comfy chairs, decent atmosphere, including a coffee store nearby ( Read more... ) -
Fight! Fight!

I liked it enough to comment in her thread a few times as well.

Those wacky Westborons won a round.
Althouse on the Supreme Court ruling protecting the right to protest at funerals a la Westboro (or in any other style, naturally). Alito is the lone dissenter. Hmm. Not sure if I agree with his argument. (Maybe I do, while simply noting that proving intent is very hard, even WBC's ( Read more... ) -
Go see a movie.
Cedar Rapids is most likely still showing in DC and Bethesda. Look it up. It's funny in a Napoleon Dynamite kind of way. I don't think a single cast member phoned it in, either.
