I think @TobinL might have read “What with” as “What’s with”.
They are mostly to avoid “me too posts”. While I regularly run out, cause I like to hand em out like a drunken sailor and totally understand that is me… The limit is set by the BoingBoing staff and most of us doubly so for regulars (we get more) people don’t run out. I am so far okay with it but I would rather see the limit raised if it means keeping a really worthwhile mutant around.

Won’t be the last time my brain does that either. 
And I noticed that the circus starts tomorrow in Cleveland on the Safeway TV.
Gonna be an interesting week.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop giving out likes.

They’re still cool with convicted war criminals, though, right?

King genuinely killed another human being, but he was also pardoned for that crime. The refusal to have Don King there is at least in substantial part because he is black.

I assumed this was a brilliant prank making fun of the blatant racism of the RNC, but apparently it’s just an example of some amazingly bad tone-deafness by the convention organizers. (Presumably there are also “red elevators” and “blue elevators”.)

You’d think, if you were going to steal from a speech you’d pick a less bland and boring one (or perhaps not? Less likely to get caught?)

There wasn’t anything particularly bad about the speech, but you’d think someone in that position would be smart enough not to rip off their immediate predecessor. At least go back to Nancy Reagan, for crying out loud. This is like turning in a Wikipedia summary as original work; it’s literally the first thing that’s going to come up if someone tries googling your text.

I guess on the plus side, we’re not all talking about crazy Giuliani instead…
