"For Detroit, [bankruptcy] means release from ruinous wage deals with their astronomical benefits (the hourly cost of a Big Three worker: $73; of an American worker for Toyota: $48), massive pension obligations, and unworkable work rules such as “job banks,” a euphemism for paying vast numbers of employees not to work." - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet

Like for the overall idea, not for the political name calling etc. - Erica Baker

I don't know precisely how the proposed bailout is structured yet, but it definitely gives me a scary, icky feeling at first glance. And while I do think that labor costs are *part* of US automakers' problems, it's obvious that they're far from the whole story. - Joel Webber

It's also worth noting that the article's author is Charles Krauthammer, who's hardly a useful source of unbiased information. Some of the commenters go so far as to suggest that US automakers would be fine if it weren't for CAFE standards, which is pretty absurd given that they also apply to companies that are doing just fine. - Joel Webber

Interesting - Shevonne Polastre

"According to the findings, perhaps unsurprisingly, men find women with or without scars attractive." - Philipp Lenssen

I'm emtionally scarred... does that count? - David Bisset

I thought this was particularly relevant given the whole Motrin Moms thing. "Oh, the good old days. When nursing moms were supposed to drink beer, television was good for kids, smoking wasn't bad, and cocaine was legal." - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet

Interesting to think how much of these ads were influential for our parents parents and their parents(not mine as from England, but I'm sure we had similar ones here). A barometer of the late 19th and early to mid 20th century. Mad Ave men you ate your hearts out! - Jason Brooks

"The idea was to lampoon the terrible search engine capabilities of the Cuil search engine, while providing a functionally stimulating idea about the interrelationship between tangential things." - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet

"One Cuil = One level of abstraction away from the reality of a situation. Example: You ask me for a Hamburger. 1 Cuil: if you asked me for a hamburger, and I gave you a raccoon. 2 Cuils: If you asked me for a hamburger, but it turns out I don't really exist. Where I was originally standing, a picture of a hamburger rests on the ground. 3 Cuils: You awake as a hamburger. You start screaming only to have special sauce fly from your lips. The world is in sepia." - Jess Lee

"Katie Stack has been enchanted with Harry Potter and his magical escapades since the fourth grade...She is in college now, but Stack (CAS’11) continues to live out her childhood fantasies. She plays Quidditch, the international sport of the wizarding world, which has players zooming around on broomsticks and using balls to score points and knock one another off course." - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet

I bet these guys play in the same field the Segway Polo guys play on :) - Mark Krynsky

I think I see prosciutto in there too. - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet

@Louis: I'm thinking Polyvore's next product should be a combination of the bacon vending machine plus the man vending machine (http://friendfeed.com/e/a797ba...) - Jess Lee

It turns out that the whole "Sarah Palin doesn't know Africa is a continent" thing was part of an elaborate hoax by someone who has pretending to be a McCain policy advisor for quite a while. - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet

This is also the guy who spread the false rumor that Joe the Plumber is the son-in-law of Charles Keating. - Jess Lee

@jessica - They only claim that him being the source was a hoax "and they say they have no reason to cast doubt on the original story" - James Macgill

"The party is over for the cash-flashing traders who once propped up Tokyo's Heartland bar - and for the Japanese women hoping to bag themselves a banker" - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet

"The would-be wooers stumble on the question of what it is they actually do “in banking” and are quickly sized up as frauds, or possibly IT consultants." Those pesky fraudulent techies... - Richard Chen

just copy & pasted this to my Nippon friends. "...Japanese men are spoilt too much by their mothers and are just not kind enough to their women.” :-D - Alvin Woon

"Michelle Rhee, the hard-charging chancellor of the Washington public schools, thinks teacher tenure may be great for adults, those who go into teaching to get summer vacations and great health insurance, for instance. But it hurts children, she says, by making incompetent instructors harder to fire. So Ms. Rhee has proposed spectacular raises of as much as $40,000, financed by private foundations, for teachers willing to give up tenure." - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet

I agree with Jim. I love teaching, but compare a software engineer's salary with a teacher's salary, and there's no way I would teach. That's how the adage, "Those who can't, teach" came about. You wouldn't even have to match the software engineer's salary, since 3 months of vacation is something you can't buy in the private sector, but you can't match $40k against what the private sectors pay, even if it's only 75% of the work. - Piaw Na

There are districts in MN that fire most of the teachers every year and make them reapply. It is a terrible way to conduct employees. As the daughter and sister of teachers, I think tenure is a good thing and is sorely needed in places where school referendums aren't passed and losing your job is basically on the ballot. - JoEllen
