...anonymity must be as high as possible relative to its sketchiness. For those of you still in Math Xa, anonymity goes in the numerator and sketchiness goes in the denominator. Higher numbers are good: it means your witnesses don’t know or care who you are. Lower numbers are bad: it’s like posting to your news feed—everyone will know.Assume “sketchiness” to equal awkward, bizarre, generally stupid, embarrassing, and all manner of party foul behavior.

...important factor in this ratio is drunkenness, but let’s be real—it can work in one of two ways. You can be responsible and multiply sketchiness by how many drinks you’ve had, giving you a much lower Non-Sketchy ratio. Do this if you’ve woken up someplace where you don’t remember falling asleep more than once in the past month. Even if you won’t remember, tomorrow, someone else will. On the other hand, you can err on the side of fun and multiply...
...step further, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden got an amendment passed that would allow states to opt out of parts of federal health reform if they could "provide health-care coverage that is at least as comprehensive" as provided for in the Baucus bill and prove their state proposal "would lower health-care-spending growth, improve the delivery-system performance, provide affordable choices for all its citizens, expand protections against excessive out-of-pocket spending, provide coverage to the same number of uninsured and not increase the federal deficit."

The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, which the House of Representatives passed in June, requires Americans to lower their carbon dioxide emissions by 83 percent below 2005 levels in 40 years. “That means when you are 61, you will be allowed the average per capita emissions of an American in 1867,” Michaels said. He added that if every country under the Kyoto treaty adopted similar measures, we would prevent just seven percent of the warming that...
