When "Je ne sais pas" isn't enough

I think I found John Shimkus tell if I ever play him in poker, he scratches his head with his right hand when he is bluffing, or tugs on his shirt. Presses his left index finder on his temple hard when he knows he has a bad hand.

Sorry Phil, this time we lost

Yeah, you're dead, and as Atheists we believe that it means the end, oblivion, nothingness. But, you know how we all are all the same, reluctant to give up connections with those we are fond of.

The Golden Rule and the Charter for Compassion

"Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you."

For one thing, it makes it that much more difficult to justify the kind of logic that we discussed ad nauseum recently.

Let me see if it's possible not to push the "defend Obama button" here. I know we are hours away from a pivotal moment that may decide whether Obama gets the Democratic nomination, or has to fight for it for a while longer, maybe all the way to the convention.

This diary has nothing to do with that other candidate, I forget her name.
