For our lawyer-type citizens - Learn how to be a lawyer...after law school. Nice to see that firms are realizing the value of getting their young associates this type of experience.
The artistes in the Nation surely will appreciate this link. Specifically, one of the phrases coined by Teddy Roosevelt -- "lunatic fringe." (h/t the Dish)
lunatic fringe (n.): a minority group of adherents to a political or other movement that is at odds with mainstream beliefs.
Teddy Roosevelt, whom Dickson calls the Neologist in Chief, coined this colorful phrase in 1913 when reviewing an art show. “In this recent art exhibition,” he wrote, “the lunatic fringe was fully in evidence, especially in the rooms devoted to the Cubists.” Hey, former Presidents have got to fill their days somehow. Why not take a few shots at Picasso?
I heard something on this yesterday on NPR. Good stuff.
I always thought that term was first coined in Vision Quest.
Just saw the predicted temps for today in the TC. Stay warm Citizens.
Heh.

I'm willing to give a pass to the announcer for not immediately recognizing a long-retired athlete - even one like Russell - but that doesn't look like Morgan Freeman. Sigh. If you don't know who it is, remain silent until someone from production feeds it to you...
seriously? The announcer mistook Russell for Morgan Freeman???
You'd know more than I, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone from production did feed it to him.
Rookie call missing Nelson Mandela there.
Actually, yes, that's possible. The announcer's delivery suggest it didn't happen that way this time, but it could happen.
This free trial of NBA League Pass that isn't blocked at work has demonstrated, undeniably, that Lou Amundson is the worst NBA player in history.
And that Dante Cunningham is the most self-aware player in history. (had a wide open three, but dribble twice to make it a 20-footer from the top of the key and nailed it.)
DC-ham would be a freakin' star if his jumpshot range extended 5-6 feet further out.
The Wolves really need to figure out a way to get 3rd quarters outlawed in the league.
I see Chris Johnson's second game with the Wolves is not nearly as sparkly as his first. Still shooting one hundred percent for the game, though!
This has been a terrible, terrbile loss. I predict another year of the lottery.
Alan Horton @WolvesRadio
#twolves 2nd half struggles continue. Outscored today 60-38 & outshot 74% to 41% after halftime.
Gee, it sounds like they might be tired or something.
The Minnesota Wild are selling something called 'Uff Da Nachos'
it doesnt look appealing to me
It probably wouldnt be classified as 'nacho' anymore, but I would replace the tortilla chips with sour cream and cheddar flavored potato chips (yeah, there is a redundancy on potatos)
This sounds disgusting to me, but I am an avid hater of tater tot hotdish.
I love tater tot hotdish, but those don't look like something I'd eat- well, unless I was just getting home from the bar, maybe.
I'm a fan of modified* tater tot hotdish, but those "nachos" looked pretty gross.
*Southwest Tater Tot Hotdish is a crowd favorite.
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1 8 oz container sour cream
1 bag of tots
Lots of roasted and chopped green chili, spicier the better
1 can whole kernel corn
red chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic chopped.
Mix everything together and bake in a dish until desired crispiness. Add about a cup of shredded cheddar to the top, melt and serve. Left overs are delicious in a tortilla because, you know, nothing makes a starchy dish better than more carbs.
or make a standard tater tot hotdish then top it with your favorite salsa
I tend to cover tater tot hotdish with ketchup, which I don't think would work well with the nachos. Your salsa idea intrigues me, as does meat's recipe.
We just made a tator tot casserole last night. My daughter made a spicy green bean dish that was too spicy for the kids to eat on Saturday so we used that in the casserole. It worked pretty well.
Against Charlotte this afternoon, James Harden went 5 for 20 from the field but ended up with 29 points because he hit 19 of his 21 free throws. I'm somehow impressed and yet a little disgusted at the same time.
How does he go to the line 21 times and still have 15 missed shots?
Official great friend of FTLT, Brian Wheat, is playing at Big V's in St. Paul tomorrow night. If you are in the Twin Cities and go and don't enjoy yourself I will buy you a drink the next time you are in Buffalo.
Mike D'Antoni is playing Gasol right into a Wolves uniform if this keeps up. I for one could not be more excited.
