[SIZE=3]What a sportsman![/SIZE]
[QUOTE]Croatia’s Vido Loncar sparked outrageous scenes at the European Youth Boxing Championships when he launched a vicious assault on the referee after losing his bout in Zagreb.
Loncar, clearly unimpressed at the referee’s decision to award to bout to his opponent Algirdas Baniulis of Lithuania, vented his fury by attacking the official, knocking him to the ground before continuing his assault with a flurry of punches.

original from another thread, but this just screamed WTF at me.[/QUOTE]
I'll admit that the ad made me cringe but, ignoring the heebie jeebie aspect, I agree wholeheartedly. Except, I don't think "black people" feel this way, I think insane liberal democratic politicians feel this way. I think it's a similar situation to crazy Republicans and net neutrality, everybody wants it except the crazy politicians.

Definitely no wtf going on with me, either, if I thought I could rehabilitate hardened criminals by kissing their toes, then kissing their toes would be my goal. Just because we in the US have a revenge-based penal system doesn't automatically make it the best idea. Might even be one of the worst setups, since the prisons cause people to lose hope.

Conservatives attack Ted Cruz on Net Neutrality
 

[URL="http://crooksandliars.com/2014/11/conservatives-attack-sen-ted-cruzs"]Ted Cruz says[/URL] Net Neutrality is the Obamacare of the Internet. Conservatives, including many IT people pile on. :devil:

[QUOTE][B]Ed P[/B]: As a Republican who works in the tech industry I can say that this statement shows you either have no idea what you are talking about or you are bought and paid for by the American Cable monopoly. This is amazingly an stupid statement and is disheartening.[/QUOTE]

OTOH merely framing things this way would seem to imply that he was right about Obamacare, no? ;)

There really does not have to be any logical link. In fact, logic is best avoided in Ted's line of work.

Professor Tao was recently on Comedy Central with Stephen Colbert. The interview is a bit funny (and very simplistic). Here is a link:

Also, I did not know it had been "shown" that either twin, cousin, or sexy primes were infinite (or all three).
