I understand the frustration the St. George people are feeling. I'm just not comfortable with resegregation.

Did they have to choose the WASPiest name possible?

Call the athletic department and complain, or stop bitching.

In absolute terms, wages have stagnated. The free market isn't compensating. Raising the minimum wage is an issue of critical importance and should be done, but it doesn't address the fundamental issues afflicting our consumer economy...i.e. the growing chasm between the middle class and the wealthiest Americans.

A lot of people here criticize raising the minimum wage, as if liberals or progressives think it's a panacea. It isn't, and it isn't supposed to be. But it's still an important piece of social policy that we should be able to agree on.

Bobby Jindal is an objectively terrible governor. There are plenty of reasons to dislike the President, but Bobby is just about as bad as it gets. I don't care about photo-ops; neither of these men have done a particularly competent job governing.
