• PA School District Drops Disciplinary Action Against Girl Who Refused to Stand for the Pledge

  Whether it was her idea or her parents, it doesn’t matter. Whether people agree or not, it doesn’t matter. You have the RIGHT to be disrespectful, unpatriotic, or wrong!

• Couple Catch Foul Ball & Fail to Give it to Heartbroken Child, TV Announcer NOT Pleased

  April 27, 2012 at 6:42pm

  It’s clear she’s not rubbing it anyone’s face, she’s just holding it up to pose while he takes a picture! They were excited, they probably didn’t even hear the kid crying over all of the noise. Also, last time I checked, just because a kid doesn’t get something he wants and cries doesn’t means he’s entitled to it. It rarely worked for me! Ridiculous. This couple is unnecessarily vilified.

• ‘Holy Grail of Hacks’: MIT Hacker Turns Building Into an Interactive Game of Tetris

  April 26, 2012 at 7:35pm

  The term hack technically refers to getting something, whether hardware or software, to operate in a way it wasn’t originally intended for. Colloquially, it refers to getting past some sort of security measures. It is certainly an interesting hack, but is unclear if any security measures were bypassed. Either way, interfacing with the building’s light system in this fashion would require somewhat more than just a “basic” knowledge of programming, as a previous poster opined.

• Michelle Obama Shares Her ‘Fantasy’: ‘Walk Right Out the Front Door and Just Keep Walking’

  Probably the first time I have agreed with her on anything! She needs to get right on this, asap! And take her husband with her, obviously.

  I would just like to point out the following:
  Fact: Bears eat beets… Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

• Shock Vid: Mother Wants the Right to Euthanize ‘Severely Disabled’ Children — And ’90%’ of Dr. Phil’s Audience Agrees

  In reply to The Gooch.

  Okay you’re not wrong, but neither am I. There are some semantic issues here. I suppose if you have a PhD in clinical psychology you can be called a mental health professional. Still, he makes no secret that “he retired from practice as a licensed psychologist to devote full time to his educational media platform.” He is retired and does not *practice* anymore. He gives advice (as anyone conceivably could) and then refers many people to practicing professionals.

  You refer to other episodes, such as the infrequent occasions where he discusses a movie or parades his grandchildren around. Sure, sometimes he has lighter episodes. I think he has a right to talk about movie he enjoys – he is an entertainer! It’s his show! And if his family is okay with it, what is it your business to judge if he features his family *on his own show*?

• Shock Vid: Mother Wants the Right to Euthanize ‘Severely Disabled’ Children — And ’90%’ of Dr. Phil’s Audience Agrees

  In reply to The Gooch.

  To be fair, Dr. Phil does not pretend to be a mental health professional and it is clear that he is an entertainer now. He treats all guests with respect and does not endorse or condemn people’s moral or immoral decisions because he is an entertainer and that’s not his job. I wouldn’t call him dangerous, as he connects a lot of people who actually need help in improving their lives with those who can help them. He also bring controversial issues to light – this being one of them.

  But during the episode, Dr. Phil did say he could never do what this woman wants to do. I also got the impression that he disagreed with her, and he was even surprised by the audience’s opinions. Either way, as he shed light on this story and it’s something that a lot more people know about now, I maintain that this episode was, overall, beneficial.

  I saw this episode. I was disgusted, especially by the percentage of the audience that sided with this women.

• Fox News Has Already Identified the ‘Mole’ Spilling Info to the Website ‘Gawker’

  April 11, 2012 at 6:10pm

  Based on the writing style and language, my money’s on a young man. He talks about how “years ago” his goal was to begin by building up his resume, so it sounds like this was his first major job. Since Fox News has only been around 15 years, he is likely under the age of 37. So it sounds to me like he is between 25 and 35 years old. I agree with previous posters who have said it is likely someone behind the scenes. I suppose we will find out soon enough if Fox really knows who it is. Otherwise, the more they write, the more they will reveal themselves.
