“You may have noticed, however, that your mobile phone seems to spend an awful lot of time with its battery gauge saying it’s full, or at least almost full. Then, once you get to the half-full mark, the battery seems to go flat surprisingly quickly. This phenomenon isn’t as obvious with today’s low-power-consumption phones than it was back in the days of 20-hour standby times, but it’s still pretty hard to find a phone that doesn’t do it. There are two reasons for this. They are both bad. Reason one: A battery that stays (apparently) full for a long time makes a phone look good. Even if it doesn’t actually deserve to. Reason two: When your phone still (apparently) has lots of charge left, you’re more likely to use it. People who think their phone’s going flat will make fewer, and shorter, calls. And that makes phone companies sad.”

“LINCOLN: In my opinion, slavery will not cease, until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. STEPHANOPOULOS: Excuse me, did an Elijah H. Johnson attend your church? LINCOLN: When I was a boy in Illinois forty years ago, yes. I think he was a deacon. STEPHANOPOULOS: Are you aware that he regularly called Kentucky “a land of swine and whores”? LINCOLN: Sounds right — his ex-wife was from Kentucky. STEPHANOPOULOS: Why did you remain in the church after hearing those statements? LINCOLN: I was eight. DOUGLAS: This is an important question George — it’s an issue that certainly will be raised in the fall. STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you denounce him? LINCOLN: I’d like to get back to the divided house if I may.”

The Amboy Times: The List of Things That Offend Muslims

The Amboy Times: The List of Things That Offend Muslims:

“It has been mentioned to me enough times in comments here and elsewhere that I should state that not every item on the List applies to every Muslim. Just as if you read a headline that states “Muslims Protest Mohammad Cartoons”, it means that most of the protesters are Muslims, not that all Muslims protested. I hope this clears things up.”
