    Teaching our boys to treat ladies with deference, we choose not to place them in an athletic competition where proper boundaries can only be respected with difficulty … Our school aims to instill in our boys a profound respect for women and girls.

    —— A statement from Our Lady Of Sorrows Academy • Explaining their baseball’s team’s forfeiture of an Arizona state championship game, due to the participation of a female player. Paige Sultzbach, a high school freshman, plays second base for Mesa Preparatory Academy. When the two teams played throughout their regular season, Sultzbach went the way of self-sacrifice, willingly sitting out in respect of the school’s religious convictions. With a championship on the line, however, she was unwilling to sit on the sidelines to appease her opponent’s orthodoxy. As a result, Our Lady Of Sorrows straight-up forfeited the game. Said Sultzbach’s father, John: “Instead of changing their position, they decided to not play the game. Both teams worked hard to get to where they are and to have it come down to that is unfortunate.” source (viafollow)

In a follow-up to our post from this morning, we should point out that nearly all of Maine’s delegates are going to Ron Paul supporters. 21 of 24, to be exact. In other news, this guy has a really awesome jacket — and a pretty cool mustache to boot. (photo by Robert F. Bukaty/AP)

I’ve always wondered, since our voices usually sound way better in our head, what Morgan Freeman’s voice sounds like in his head. Is it possible that it sounds even cooler?

Here’s a really interesting photo, an intern from Facebook wanted to examine the locality of friendships, pulling some data from Facebook he created this image. What’s incredible is that lines don’t represent coasts or rivers or political borders, but real human relationships. Each line is a friendship between two people, and with enough information these friendships give us a surprisingly accurate map of the world, minus Russia, apparently Facebook isn’t too big over there. 
You can read more about how it was made here. Also here is the High Res Version.

Clinton’s Labor Secretary schools Romney on how economics work.

Romney is not just a liar, he’s a stupid liar. He’s George W. Bush with slightly better speaking capabilities.

    The Song in the Dream

    eating-poetry:

    The song itself had hinges. The clasp on the eighteenth-century Bible
    had hinges, which creaked; when you released the catch,
    the book would sigh and expand.

    The song was of two wholes joined by hinges,
    and I was worried about the joining, the spaces in between
    the joints, the weight of each side straining them.

    My brain has informed my body that the semester is over, and it’s realizing what it did the past 4 months. It isn’t pleased.
