Breaking: Scott Walker Once Ate Two Cookies at Recess When He Was Supposed to Eat Only One!!!

I fear what they'll find when they open his high school library overdue book file. Or his payment history to the Columbia House Record Club.

Yeah but Hitler never stole recess cookies.

Narcisssist Gets New Toy

About Those Reports of Marines in Yemen Handing Over Firing Pins to State Department Staff...

This seems to be a case of the Marines rendering inoperable the weapons that they could not take on departing commercial flights rather than something sinister on the part of the State Department. But who needs sinister when you have the now routine Obama Administration fuckuppery going on.

Tokyo Men Ready to 'Smash Valentine's Day'

Down with the running dogs of the romance-industrial complex!

Have the chocolates ready for a loved one? Restaurant booked?

If yes, it might be wise to keep an eye on Kakuhido (Unpopular Revolutionary League): The group will hold a "Smash Valentine's Day" demonstration next Saturday in Shibuya.

Wielding bullhorns and hoisting flags with slogans to denounce the annual tradition and the "passion-based capitalism" it sows, participants will take to the streets around JR Shibuya Station.

...Those wishing to participate are advised to get behind Kakuhido's slogans. This time, the group will rally around a number of claims, including "flirting in public is terrorism."

I suspect this whole group is mostly a put-on to bait the media but then Japan so who knows.

The New New Republic Grapples With Its Stalinist Past; Decides Uncle Joe Had Some Pretty Good Ideas

Even More Doubts Appear in Mattress Girl's Story

Sulkowicz's marginalia also drew my attention to another mind-boggling detail: when Nungesser invites her to a party already in progress in his room two days after the alleged rape, he mentions that there are currently too many guys and asks her to "bring some peepz." Sulkowicz replies, "Okay let them know I'll be dere w da females soon." In her annotations for Jezebel, she clarifies, "Paul wants me to bring other girls. I agree."

A young woman who was brutally raped two days ago agrees to bring girls to the rapist's party and jokes about it? I fully understand that a traumatized victim of a violent attack can behave irrationally, but too many things here strain credulity-including the fact that Sulkowicz seeks to discuss what she has described as, essentially, a psychopathic motiveless attack by meeting with the assailant in person.

Can anything a woman does after a supposed rape undermine her story? Because if not, then rape claims minus any physical evidence are essentially unfalsifiable. Which means you're now in the domain of faith.
