people who complain something-or-other didn't make the morning news are the worst.

What, no mention of Florida Man's latest exploits??

@5, I think the people who want to cut off the clits of thousands of women are the worst. Agree to disagree?

If a 14-page thesis was in fact "the final paper required for Mr. Walsh’s master’s degree," a full investigation of the United States Army War College is warranted, because that would make them an academic laughingstock.

Via Jezebel, an Al Jazeera report on a rape allegation involving students at Garfield High.

More like a few hundred ISIS lunatics threatening 4 million women. At what point will the latter take up arms against ISIS?

I agree with @9 - a 14 page paper about why democracy is a good idea going forward? For the culmination of a master's degree? I mean, that seems so lightweight it makes me wonder if it was the kind of paper where no one gives a shit and everyone knows it. Not defending plagiarism, but if a paper doesn't matter, I can see how students would not feel inspired to put in the effort.

So it's anti-ISIS disinformation?

Surely the president could have stopped his motorcade for just a bit for the woman in labor to cross the street to the hospital. LA Times. He was just going to a fundraiser after all.

@17,

Sounds like a good ruse for an assassination attempt. In any event, that decision is up to law enforcement and the Secret Service, not the president.

I don't get why a francophone would say "se crasher" rather than the very similar, correct French: s'ecraser.

@17: Do you think the president flies Air Force One around by himself too?

@18: A cop may have/could have told the Secret Service who may have/could have told the president.
The president can stop his motorcade, stop and shake hands, kiss babies, stop in a bookstore, or grab a 5-guys burger at any point he wants - and the Secret Service must oblige. Happens all the time.

Great PR it would have been. She'll probably get an apology note from the White House.

@21,

Most likely they didn't. Why should they? What a fantastical, naive world you live in.

@1: I was at the game with my son who turned 2 months old. He actually seemed to enjoy it, though he slept through the ninth inning.

Also, Senator Walsh should resign. Even if it is true that he was suffering from depression and/or PTSD at the time, he should have owned up to it earlier, and it shouldn't have been discovered by someone else. I say this as someone with clinical depression who wants more Democrats in office. I would call for a Republican to resign, so he should resign.

@23: kesh, phoebe's just repeating the latest Obama-thinks-he's-better'n-us-white-folks complaint she heard on KVI.
