...concerned students, the proper strategy in such a debate is not to trust the “appropriate authorities” to properly weigh interests against values through their own beneficent intelligence. If students don’t subscribe to a decision, the proper response is to shout our values from the rooftops. Indeed, facing a college administration that came of academic age in the sixties and seventies, little else but “radicalism” would suffice to convince such college functionaries that an opinion is indeed deeply held. It may ultimately be that some limited quantity...
...gonadotropin to cure erectile dysfunction (the female fertility drug also happens to elevate testosterone levels, which get drained by, coincidentally, steroid use). "Manny Being Mini," one clever columnist has already written. Maybe you just want to send a message, enough is enough with these guys we can no longer trust, and cut ties with the best player ever busted by MLB drug testing. Whether you believe his excuse or not - what's wrong with Viagra? - on paper he's a drug cheat. Buyers get their warranties. Any chance you got yours...

By that standard, Geithner may be the most effective con man around, for better and for worse...
...abuse settlements in recent years - including a case involving a former priest at Cutié's South Beach church, St. Francis de Sales.

But so long as Cutié wasn't frolicking with a minor (female or male) or using parish funds to buy margaritas for his paramour, many parishioners may actually be relieved that their popular priest has a libido focused on a woman...
...problem for Republicans, as the RNC's Steele memorably put it in a TV appearance, is that there's "absolutely no reason, none, to trust our word or our actions." Republicans, after all, proclaimed that President Clinton's tax hikes would destroy the economy, that GOP rule would mean smaller government, that Bush's tax cuts would usher in a new era of prosperity; now the House minority leader says it's "comical" to think carbon dioxide could be harmful, and Steele says the earth is cooling...
