In the last article, there was a quote from him saying that he planned to use the money from the sale of the medal to buy art to donate to various organisations, apparently thinking that this was a way to buy back some respectability. I don't know if this will work...
His way back to respectability would be a full retraction of his idiotic comments on race. But he probably just thinks it's all some Politically Correct Conspiracy organised by black lesbians anyway.
*any* accepted? Okay. Look at their skin color. That's a rather widely accepted definition that makes them the same race as English, French, Spaniards, Greeks, and even Persians and Arabs.
Anyone who can lump all of those groups together and say they share some common identity because they have "white" skin is simply proving how stupid racism really is.
The best argument by far that I've heard that could convince me to get a twitter account is that my online identity could be hijacked and replaced with a Russian Bruce Willis impersonator. Kind of makes me want to learn Russian, now...
If you learned Russian (and shaved your head), you could become your own Russian Bruce Willis impersonator.
Again, you're still focusing on the name. The vast majority of the paper has nothing to do with Christianity nor Science. It's just a newspaper.
But "Christian Science" has a specific meaning - it's a loony fringe religion started by Mary Baker Eddy who don't believe in medicine, on the basis that illness is purely a mental phenomenon, amongst other things.
If the "Christian Science Monitor" were nothing to do with "Christian Science" it would have been well advised to change its name.
In fact, a quick google shows that the newspaper is the house journal of the Christian Science movement, and thus can be filed alongside "Past Life Regression Today" and "Crystal Healing for Dummies" as fodder for the deluded.
Hard to believe 20% of the staff, including some senior writers, would all quit as an overreaction to some email. But as you say we don't know the details.
Imagine working for years at a small well-regarded tech company (assuming you're more familiar with tech companies) with 56 employees that gets bought out. What kind of actions would cause 12 of your long time valued employees to up and quit?
Being asked to do an honest day's work for an honet day's pay?
Wikipedia says The National Review describes itself as "America's most widely read and influential magazine and web site for conservative news, commentary, and opinion."
I can only imagine how right wing it must be, and therefore find it hysterically funny that it is going to be ruined by a clueless webrepreneur who probably self identifies as libertarian and innovative.
Except that facebook's "like" is not used for feedback. It's in part a tiny show of endorsement and in part a major show of common agreement on a topic. My sister was in hospital recently and posted it on Facebook. Most of her friends, family and myself hit the like button. It was acknowledgement that we saw and read, nothing more.
Facebook doesn't need a "don't like" button, it just needs to change the word "like" to something else.
Call me old-fashioned, but if pressing a button that says "like" doesn't mean you like something, then we might as well give up with civilisation and go back to pointing at food and saying "ugh" while rubbing our genitals against the nearest tree.
Ah... you're from the UK. That explains a lot. "Hell is where the police are German, the lovers Swiss, the mechanics French, the chefs British, and it is all organized by the Italians."
Somewhere like Pizza Hut isn't going to offer anything very exotic as a topping choice, so it's hardly surprising that most pizzas are perfectly acceptable.
Unless you're a vegetarian, or allergic to tomatoes and cheese or something, any pizza they serve is going to taste pretty similar.
Tea-smoked forest truffles, goat vindaloo and sliced durian fruit are unlikely to be options.
At first I was offended, because apparently, if I like to peruse the menu, I'm some sort of "problem" that needs to be "fixed". But then I realized that I haven't eaten at Pizaa Hut in 12 years, mainly because of their factory approach to dining. Herd 'em in. Get the pizza down their throats as quickly as possible. Herd 'em out. Pizza Hut? More like Pizza Trough. Who cares what they do? Just one more reason to avoid the place.
You are clearly a gentleman and a scholar like myself.
It's Mickey D's for us, every time. Black tie only.

generally speaking, legitimate businesses that earn good money don't go around hacking into competitors' networks
Yes, there is no such thing as industrial espionage. Also, Santa Claus is real.
You failed to use the magic phrase "axis of evil" and excluded France from your incisive analysis.
Somehow OP got mod points to downmod this comment on his own post? It is hard to see who else would have bothered trying to squish a joke.
visited upon a man who had the gall to believe differently than the mob and say so.
why people fall for this leftist claptrap is beyond me.
Paedophiles and child rapists believe differently than the mob. That doesn't make their beliefs valid.

If you started a paper called the Astrological and Chiropractic Monitor, I wouldn't read it either.
Makes more sense now.
Titus Andronicus is not exactly a children's bedtime story.
Even the more famous plays like Macbeth have a LOT of gore and supernatural horror.
Not all work is in tech start ups .

It still comes down to opening each e-mail and reading it,
I just send it all to spam and don't have to read a thing.
Apart from at work, who uses email nowadays anyway?
Ah... you're from the UK. That explains a lot. "Hell is where the police are German, the lovers Swiss, the mechanics French, the chefs British, and it is all organized by the Italians."
"And the politicians are American".
Anyone who puts chicken on a pizza should be castrated, hung drawn and quartered, crucified, then boiled in acid and given a Chinese burn.
You don't believe in setting the bar very high when it comes to restaurants, do you?
The only catch seems to be that the end result will be always be a Pizza Hut product.
If you got into a sort of Zen trance state and emptied your mind, you could end up with no pizza at all.
This is not the same thing as saying either are very pleasant unless you're hungover and ravenously hungry.

Anchovies, capers, olives, garlic, chillies, and a boiled egg are all the toppings you need.
