Overnight Open Thread (7-5-2015)
John Kerry, his secretary of state, is one scary dude. A newspaper headline captured the problem perfectly when it said that Kerry was looking for a "legacy hit." "For Kerry, Iran deal would be a legacy hit after many misses."He won his party's presidential nomination, but didn't win the presidency. He was in the Senate for a jillion years but did basically squat (except for voting the party line). A nuke deal with the mullahs would be his "legacy hit."
Beware the man who wants to be something. That man is often a very dangerous character. How about the epitaph "He did no harm"? Not sexy enough. But men who do no harm are better than most, probably.
-- Jay Nordlinger in Beware the Legacy-Seeker
Greece before it joined the euro was pretty much what it had always been: a slightly ramshackle, inefficient Balkan economy, rife with cronyism and corruption. But it got by. It took the special magic of the euro to turn Greece into the epicentre of a major financial crisis. The single currency has a kind reverse alchemy: everything it touches quickly turns to rubbish. Greece ran up too much debt, and spent a bit too much. But in normal circumstances, it could have devalued its currency, and renegotiated what it owed, just as [Milton] Friedman argued.
-- Matthew Lynn in the Spectator
Well saying Greece spent a little too much is quite a bit of understatement. When Greece joined the EU, it basically got a credit card with the same limit and interest rate as Germany and then went crazy with it. But it turns out that if you want to live like Germans, you have to actually work like Germans.
Something that can't go on forever, won't. Debts that can't be repaid, won't be. Promises that can't be kept, won't be. Plan accordingly.
-- Glenn Reynolds on the Greek No vote
Recently I've been hearing a lot of conservatives saying things like, "It's over. The left has won. This is no longer America. I'm not even going to celebrate the Fourth of July this year." I confess this disturbs me. I expect feminists to squeal like hysterical little girls. I expect Social Justice Warriors to act like small boys who pretend to be heroes against imaginary enemies then run away from actual danger.I expect conservatives to act like men and women - men and women who understand they are part of a fight for liberty that began when Moses killed the Egyptian slavedriver and will not end until Jesus comes again.
Open your eyes. The hills are filled with chariots of fire. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.
-- Andrew Klavan
Note that fighting may require you to get off your ass rather than just sit around bitching about the state of things in some blog forum.
Greece Decides to Do Grexit the Hard Way, Votes No on the Bailout Referendum
Banks are supposed to reopen on Tuesday but with cash reserves dangerously depleted it's not clear if this will actually happen. Meanwhile ATM withdrawals are now limited to only 50 euros a day.
So what's a desperate cash-strapped government to do?
Greece Plans Cyprus-Style Raid on Bank Deposits
That's right - they're going to steal depositors money from their bank accounts or as they call it a 'bail-in' of people's money:
Greek banks are preparing contingency plans for a possible "bail-in" of depositors amid fears the country is heading for financial collapse, bankers and businesspeople with knowledge of the measures said on Friday.The plans, which call for a "haircut" of at least 30 per cent on deposits above ?8,000, sketch out an increasingly likely scenario for at least one bank, the sources said.
A Greek bail-in could resemble the rescue plan agreed by Cyprus in 2013, when customers' funds were seized to shore up the banks, with a haircut imposed on uninsured deposits over ?100,000.
Meanwhile the State of Texas is Repatriating Its Gold
Texas is the only state that owns an actual stockpile of gold, according to public sector and financial industry experts - not just gold futures or investment positions, but approximately 5,600 gold bars worth around $650 million. The holdings, stored at a New York bank, for some harken back to century-old fears about the security of currency not backed by shiny bullion.
George Takei Finally Apologizes for His Racist Rant
Ashe Schow: Has the Federal Government Ever Had Sex?
Thanks to proposed changes to the American Law Institute's Model Penal Code 'affirmative consent' may become the law of the land for everyone - not just students. Which means that every sexual act is considered sexual assault/rape unless you get explicit verbal consent from the other person. Yes this applies to married couples too. And yes this is insane. And unenforceable.
The law wouldn't apply only to first dates or similar new encounters, but would apply even in committed relationships. This means affirmative consent would be mandated for every sexual encounter, even to married couples. Given that divorce and custody cases frequently produce false accusations of child abuse, it's easy to imagine false accusations of sexual abuse proliferating if Schulhofer and Murphy's rules aren't followed every time a couple has sex.
We are all rapists now.
Hey Remember When the Left Was All About Keeping Government Out of the Bedroom?
And the crazy ideas that start on campus have a tendency to escape from the asylum. Thus, the Washington Examiner's Ashe Schow reports that the campus system of "yes means yes," in which lovers must receive express permission for every minor stage of a sexual act or risk being prosecuted by a regretful partner after the fact, is now being proposed as the legal model for criminal prosecution nationwide. As Schow puts it, this is a standard "so stringent that it would criminalize millions of Americans overnight," and is "part of a push to bring authoritarianism into the bedroom."And it's not just what goes on behind closed doors. Every statement about sex, every public depiction of anything that remotely connotes sex-from movies to music to video games-has to be loaded up with social and political significance and policed for evidence of forbidden sexual attitudes.
These days, if you want to hear someone tell everyone to lighten up when it comes to sex and to stop making everything a crime, you're far more likely to hear that from the right. Frankly, there are a lot of us who are just wishing we could hear less about what is going on in everybody else's bedrooms.
Why the Left Had to Have Gay Marriage Through SCOTUS
It is no accident this was not done through the state courts or by referendum, state by state. The common wisdom is that supporters of same-sex marriage didn't want to wait for such a slow process, because although public opinion was changing in their favor it was not changing as universally or as quickly as they wanted. No doubt that was true.But there were several other, more basic reasons to do it the SCOTUS way. The first is that if it had been done merely in those first two ways, law or referendum, state by state, it would continue to be subject to repeal in those states or to a new referendum outlawing it in those states. Too easy to accomplish a reversal, if people changed their minds after the law was passed and they decided they didn't like it for some reason.
The second is that people could opt out of servicing same-sex marriages (the florist/baker crowd), because the states usually were passing provisions to protect the rights of the religious to refuse to participate....I repeat, it is no accident whatsoever that same-sex marriage activists wanted this case before SCOTUS, and not just because they were impatient. They wanted to cement the institution of same-sex marriage in a way that would be nearly impossible to undo.

Why the Dukes of Hazzard Really Offends
But the story behind "The Dukes Of Hazzard" makes the show so dangerous that I am surprised that CBS ever aired it. It is a brother of "A Christmas Story," the "Porky's" trilogy, and every slasher film ever made. Beneath all the veneer of Good Old Boys running around is a protest of a corrupt government, and the dangerous advocacy of self-reliance. The government took their guns. The Dukes used compound bows, baby....Of course, the TV show was lighter and Clark had nothing to do with it (although he kept some rights to it). But them good old boys, never meaning no harm, were very dangerous rebels. Not the kind that kept slaves, but the kind who could take care of themselves. They fought an amoral corrupt political boss and a guilt-ridden corrupt sheriff.
In other words, typical Democrats.
And that was what the South was back in the day.
The audience for the Dukes is dying off, as unfortunately is the willingness to defy the government.
What Real Feminism/Idiocy Looks Like
Steven Haywood points admiringly to this story of a pregnant woman in California who give birth in a forest, fought off bees, and started a wildfire after getting lost. But WeaponsMan points out correctly that she did everything wrong and was on track for a Darwin Award except that she got lucky. Here are just the first four things she did wrong:
- She was driving around (not sure why) when she knew she was nine-ninths pregnant. What she apparently didn't know was the fuel state of her vehicle. she was already at bingo fuel when this whole evolution began.
- She started to go into labor, and decided the right thing to do was take a long drive to her parents' house. Look, we're all about taking personal responsibility here, but there's a time to call 911.
- Since she was going to the folks' house, and time seemed to be of the essences, she decided that this was the optimum time to check out a short cut she'd heard about but didn't actually know. "I was told about this back road and people had shown it to me a few times but I'd never driven it myself." Oh, brother. The shortcut ran through the remote Plumas National Forest.
- She told nobody what she was doing, or where she was going.
No Police Call is Ever Routine
In this incident, the officer was responding to a landlord's call to address a suspected case of trespassing at a trailer park. What the officer didn't know at the time was that the man hiding inside was an armed criminal with two active warrants who had escaped from a correctional facility, and that he had no intention of being taken alive.
The shooting captured on the body camera is chaotic, and the video afterward captures an incredible amount of detail of the officer's physiological response, from goose bumps, to shakiness, to labored breathing, to forgetting some basic rules of gun safety after the shooting (you'll know it when you see it).
Unfortunately I can't embed the video so you'll have to follow the link to see it. What's interesting is how the video keeps rolling and you get to see what the aftermath of a police shooting is like for the officer involved.

Ellen Pao Faces a Reddit Revolt
"Reddit is in meltdown. The hugely popular link-sharing site is in a state of virtual lockdown after the volunteers who run some of the site's biggest communities (known as "subreddits") went on the digital equivalent of a general strike. This followed the sacking of Victoria Taylor, a popular site admin, after a Reddit Q&A with the Rev. Jesse Jackson went badly for the activist preacher."
Thank Shale and Fire Up the Grill This Summer
Fracking has been bery, bery good to America.
Propane prices are at their lowest level since 2002 as shale has nearly doubled domestic propane production since 2009. These are, in other words, boom times. Cheap propane isn't just a boon to the country's grilling aficionados (though some might spurn the gas in favor of charcoal)-many homes are heated on propane. In that sense, cheaper prices can have a real impact on the heating bills of many American households. Remember, too, that cheap energy, and in this case cheap heating, is especially welcome in poorer households, whose power bills constitute a larger percentage of their budgets.
So fill up your propane tanks, America! Now we're cooking with gas.
7 Comedians Who Did Great Things for Humanity
1. DANNY THOMASSt. Jude Children's Research Hospital is a world-class pediatric research and treatment facility in Memphis, Tennessee that treats approximately 7,800 patients every year - none of whom are charged for their care. Instead, the nonprofit's $2 million daily operating costs are covered mainly by donations, and it's all thanks to sitcom star Danny Thomas. The St. Jude website explains how the TV funnyman came to found a world-renowned healthcare facility:
Unsure of his life's direction, a young Danny Thomas sought guidance from St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of hopeless causes. If the saint would point to the path he should take, Danny vowed to build a shrine in his name. Success followed Danny's plea and soon after, the legendary entertainer set about fulfilling his vow to St. Jude. The result was St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Per the rules, the ECB should immediately shut off the greek banks, the whole system, and "call in" the ELA loans (equivalent of the Fed's discount window). That would instantly detonate all the Greek banks.
But when the commies nationalize, start up the fake digi-drachma and the rogue physical euro, they'll hold that off they think.
The equivalent of a massive devaluation is going to happen, and the rest of the EZ banks, through the ECB are going to have to take a hit.
In the old days, this would be causus belli, and the German army should be marching in Athens. But that won't happen....at least for a while.

Totally not relevant:
"At the upcoming DefCon hacker conference in Las Vegas next month, Caudill plans to unveil ProxyHam, a "hardware proxy' designed to use a radio connection to add a physical layer of obfuscation to an internet user's location. His open-source device, which he built for $200, connects to Wi-Fi and relays a user's Internet connection over a 900 megaherz radio connection to their faraway computer, with a range of between one and 2.5 miles depending on interference from the landscape and buildings. That means even if investigators fully trace the user's internet connection, they'll find only the ProxyHam box the person planted in a remote library, cafe, or other public place - and not their actual location."

THe Breitbart article suggests the following:
"One theory which is gaining an increasing amount of traction, however, is that Taylor is being held responsible for the embarrassment of Reverend Jesse Jackson in his recent AMA session."
JJ came across as an intellectual goober, and Taylor may not have been able to do anything to protect him ... thus Pao ...
I wonder if Taylor has the sense to sue Pao.

- pro-life is winning
- Export-Import bank is closing
In each case there was a dedicated group of people fighting on just the one narrow issue, and over time they make slow progress because they are only fighting the war against the militant progs on a single front. We should do something similar.

Apparently the 14th amendment overturned the 10th amendment and abridged parts of the 1st according to the maniacs on the SCOTUS who the founders apparently chose to run the country.
There's not much that can be done save attempt to pass some constitutional amendments which no matter which avenue you attempt, congress or article V, have zero chance of passing.
So we will continue to "progress" ourselves to a 2nd civil war or not.

Anybody else remember about a year ago, when David Letterman had a dust-up with Trump and was running around calling him a racist?

The Commie in Chief is allowing southern illegals by the millions, and bringing in ME Muslims by the thousands. When his financial house of cards finally collapses it may not just cause hardship, it could be expected to degenerate into full-fledged race war with everybody wanting to exact revenge against the White Privilege that oppressed them all.

Danny vowed to build a shrine in his name. Success followed Danny's plea

Thinking history rhyming, this may be the Credit Anstalt event this time around. The Great Depression, which was a world event, didn't just happened at once. It was sort of a slow roll, kicked off in waves. The first wave, for us at least, was the Crash of '29.
If you read the commentary at the times, it was the same thing as now. Oh, nothing to worry about, prosperity is just around the corner. Then in May of '31, came the collapse of Credit Anstalt, which was the second wave event.
So, 2008 was the first wave event, and now Grexit may be the Credit Anstalt event (which also happened in Europe, of course).

SCOTUS merely changed the legal meaning of a word, "marriage".What can be done about it?In the interest of equality the only thing that can be done is reduce "marriage" to the lowest common denominator, two names on a piece of paper. Anything more would not be fair.A grandstanding politician could introduce the "Equality in Marriage" bill, which would do nothing but strike the words 'marriage', 'spouse' etc. from all federal law and regulation. There, all your marriages are equally meaningless.
It is the only way to be fair.

Exactly. But we also need to personalize the issue. Select someone to be the face of the victims of wetback crime, preferably a woman (to engage the soccer moms who have duck feathers for brains), and make that person the central figure of the campaign.
The candidate needs to respond to some slime bucket reporter, "But what about X? Have you no sympathy for X?"
When the reporter looks befuddled, the candidate tees off on him, and launches into his speech regarding victim X. Thereafter, he (and others) continually refer to X, and force reporters and communist candidates to state their position vis a vis X.
In short, do to the Reds exactly what they do to Americans.

“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”

During WWII, Canada made some 5-cent pieces out of an alloy called tombac, in an effort to conserve nickel for the war effort. It has a pale bronze color.

Yep. That's also why in my incompetently formatted comment I suggested choosing a female victim as the face of the campaign. Women tend to have sympathy in the abstract for offenders ("oh, but he didn't mean it, and he's so young"), but not for specific offenders, and still less for those to victimized women, and much much less for those to victimized pregnant women or children. Splitting women off from the liberal base is crucial to success, and that necessitates bringing to their attention the outrages the MSM bury from their view.

The US currently immigrates leagally, just over 1 million people mostly from Mexico and South America, we also have about the same number of illegals per year.
The population of the US is currently 320 million and rising.
Question, would the US be a better country with 500 million people?

That is the major factor in the SF case. Sanchez was arrested by ICE and turned over to the SF law enforcement with a request that if he was going to be released, that he be detained so that ICE could arrest him. SF declined to cooperate with the Federal authorities because sanctuary city policies.
So now you have a person, convicted of multiple felonies, deported five times, in possession of an illegal firearm who randomly shoots an innocent bystander. The idiots in SF are tripping all over themselves to blame ICE, and ICE is blaming SF for their policies.

Posted by: Robinson at July 06, 2015 12:45 AM (1SHv1)
I'm guessing science wasn't your strongest subject.
Density is just mass in a given volume. So whether the counterweight is 50 grams with a density of 1 or 50 grams with a density of 0.75, its still 50 grams.

Not really. The simple way to do it is to use a zinc penny as a counterbalance. Bias it slightly away from the center so that a zinc penny in the opposite end will always be "up", and a copper will always be "down". The only important bit is knife-edging the 'bearing' so that the balance is sensitive.

Lee H. @ 174, I believe the number is far, far, far below 30 million (number "helped" by O-care in a way that has/will discomfit/devastate 300 million, directly or indirectly). But I don't blame you for using that number - even though I think the affirmative action mediocrity himself, on his hilariously pathetic "sales" tour for the bill, had to keep backing down on the number of "uninsured" because there were still, believe it or not, people actually calling b.s. on a gigantically important public issue, based on fact. Yeah, hard to believe, in what was known as the US.
Best number I've seen - of *financially involuntarialy uninsured* - the only category that's relevant, but which every-f**king-body assumes is the "problem" to be solved, is below 15 million - probably below 10, if you do some reasonable engineering to factor out illegals.
So fewer than 10 million people - of whom only a small portion has reacted in any way to the new law - is "benefitted" by a comprehensive, unconstitutional, functionally and economically idiotic "reform". Nice!

Only to the extent that if your counterweight is ridiculously un-dense, it would be hard to properly fix it to the balance beam. It's easy to slide a cast-iron weight along the beam; a bag of feathers, not so much, even if it weighed the same.

Depends on the type of balance. If you have a fixed balance like the "scales of justice" its a basic mass vs. mass. The heavier mass will be lower. If you are dealing with a balance like what you have at a doctors office where you move a counter weight and try and get it to balance at the line then you are dealing with a type of fulcrum where you are moving the counter weight changing the length of the lever from the fulcrum allowing a smaller mass to lift a larger mass.

Now, neither copper nor zinc are ferromagnetic, how does this work? Well, as the coins roll through the (strong) magnetic field, eddy currents are generated in the metal, and the magnetic field of the eddy currents interacts with the imposed field of the magnets to slow the motion of the coin. Since copper is a far better conductor of electricity than zinc, it follows that there would be stronger eddy currents, and the copper coin would be retarded more in its travel than the zinc one. So you could roll the coins down the chute, and the copper coins would land in the near cup, and the zinc ones in the far cup. Ideally, anyway. But it would be almost trivial for a handy kind of guy to build. I'm pretty sure this principle is used commercially in coin acceptors for vending machines.

She had a husband, a doctor.
He was killed by a drunk driver in San Mateo County back in the '90s.
The drunk driver was an illegal from Mexico, no license, no papers.
He lived.
The doctor died.
And yet, she still votes in favor of open borders.

She loves the power of being a politician, and her being a widow of a husband killed by a drunk driver gives her more gravitas in the Dem party.

Well chariots of fire in the hills sound exciting, I guess, Mr. Klavan (whoever you are). Actually, BLM would shut that down, fire danger due to the drought is already closing shooting areas earlier than ever. But WTH are these "chariots", exactly?
So to indulge a rube who only has decades of direct experience at the highest levels,and a lifetime of study and interest to bring to bear, how exactly are we to "act"?
Just spitballing, how about we take control of both houses of Congress, then use that control to confront the minority and their ridiculous, lawless president with issue after issue, bill after bill, that they will have to filibuster and/or veto - in the teeth of comfortable majority public opinion? You know, put the other side on the spot, "differentiate" as has always been done, to weaken the opponent and rally our own supporters?
I guess there's always the state level. Pass constitutional amendments, etc.
Oh.The SCOTUS can simply make s**t up, arrogate vast powers entirely outside the constitution and our history, and negate anything we do?
Well then. Surely, the answer is to win the WH, and appoint our own judges to SCOTUS.
I feel better already.

Hehehe. The current US debt is 18+ trillion dollars. The US has taken in just over a trillion dollars in tax collections the last couple of years. The interest on the debt is just north of 400 billion dollars a year. That leaves 600 billion to run the government. Even if we were to pay 500 billion a year on the principle, taking up 900 billion a year and leaving the government only 100 billion a year to operate, it would still take us over 40 years to pay off the debt, assuming that we didn't borrow any more money. This does not take into account the unfunded liabilities of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Let's parse this all out.
"Trump has also said he is pro-life but would not prevent a woman from getting an abortion." Well, would you throw a woman into jail for getting an abortion? Or would you try to change the culture in such a way that it became socially unacceptable to have abortions for essentially selfish reasons? Which approach is more likely, over the long term, to reduce the death toll caused by abortion?
"He is for the second amendment and everyone should have a gun except assault weapons." Is that not essentially the law now? An assault weapon is capable of full-auto fire, and you need an FFL to own one, right? A modern sporting rifle like an AR-15 clone, is not capable of full-auto fire, and is not an "assault weapon".
"He is for reduced taxes but also wants to levy a one time tax of 15% on the wealthy to pay off the debt." That sort of depends upon where you draw the line between "wealthy" and "not wealthy", doesn't it? But when you consider that all too many of the "wealthy", the Elon Musks, the Warren Buffetts, the Sergei Brins, and Trump himself, either became wealthy, or saw their wealth increase largely due to crony capitalism and rent-seeking, why should they not take a disproportionately larger haircut?

He certainly was. He got Barky to puke up a forged birth certificate - read Sheriff Joe Arpaio's detailed report on it if you have any doubts. Sadly, Trump let it drop after posted that laughable jpeg "document".
But, there's no question that Trump's participation for that short time in 2012 was a big net plus for the GOP field. It let a lot of them understand where the base was.... though that only led to Vichy GOP douchebags making promises that they would break the minute they got elected.

Great Dalrymple quote.
I have an elderly neighbor down the road who lived most of her life in the USSR. We were talking about the bogus Ferguson case and also the actual murder that the white cop committed in N Charleston. I mentioned that it was ironic that the REAL crime got almost no media/political attention while the Ferguson incident became a cause celebre.
She said it didn't surprise her at all. The less true the narrative, the more hysterically it will be foisted upon us, that the N Charleston case was of little interest precisely because it was a REAL crime.
Yes, she would like that Dalrymple piece.
And yes, she definitely sees the shadow of Stalin in the American Left.

Jim! Well, a bit of a false tease there. It's my brother's gun, of which I had temporary custody while his house was rebuilt.
A Colt Diamonback, .38 Special, 4-inch. The very revolver you named in your sign-off, I think.
Based on the ammo he gave me to keep with it (all 80s stuff), looks like it had been fired about 24 times (4 cylinders' worth). !!!!! Beautiful condition. He lives near the beach, so I returned it in a nice expensive dry-case, with a dessicant unit (aluminum container with silica). Told him it's worth north of $1.5K now in CA, to his amazement. Of course, purely for safety reasons, I HAD to shoot if a few times. Nice.
My amazement - that he had ANY firearms at all. Another stunner was that he had the 10/22 that's the first rifle I ever fired, when I was 10 or so. Beautiful - I get the impression they "don't make them that way any more", at least for the quality of the walnut stock and the bluing on the barrel/receiver. Got a new mag for that, cleaned it up real good.
When his son/my nephew finally commits to a day at the range (he was very interested, he's heading off to college in the fall), we'll definitely shoot both of his father's guns, as well as a carefully selected sample of single-action, semi-auto, and milsurps, to "round out" his firearms introduction.

Someone earlier (sorry, forget who) and Margarita de Ville, yes - to the points about the distortion/propaganda being *intended* to humiliate as much as misinform, and the more outrageous the distortion the better. Of course Goebbels was also quite explicit about the latter tactic - "Big Lie".
Yet I don't think, for example in Roberts' ridiculous "rulings" at SCOTUS, that there is a conscious effort to subdue and conquer with humiliation. Roberts, and people like him, *actually believe this nonsense*.
And he and his ilk have an electorate, a culture, a country that has not, is not, and most likely will not do a thing to resist or reverse the usurpations. Notwithstanding chariots of fire in the hills, whatever the f**k those are supposed to be.

Check out his positions. You may be surprised.
Maybe Cruz, too.
Cruz achieved ultra-douchebag status with his insane backing and forcing of BarkyTrade. Cruz had some issues before with illegals (that popped out here and there) but when he went full bore on BarkyTrade, that showed that he either didn't understand jack shit about anything or he was just an ultra-douchebag of the worst sort.
Cruz, in any event, is ineligible, anyway. If he had any care for the Constitution he would acknowledge that, himself.

Gotta agree, Burn. Not all of those despairing of the situation do so primarily, or even materially, from emotion. Some actually understand this stuff, don't think in tribal us/them terms, and have some historical context.
Alternatively, I heard several "conservative" pundits - I'm not making this up - rather giddily talking about "silver linings" in the two worst SCOTUS ukazes last week. And, allegedly, Ryan greeting Hoyer with a broad grin on the floor after Roberts' reworking of English, the constitution, and the rule of law was issued.
Mayhaps Klavan ought to turn his guns on such incredible phenomena, and not on the more sober and thoughtful people who have somehow noticed trouble brewing.

Well, this one's a bit involved.
Once upon a time, there was a fellow who was down on his luck, and as he was looking through the classifieds, he saw an intriguing ad offering a ten million dollar reward to the person who could find and retrieve, intact, something called a 'tis bottle.
Having nothing to lose, he calls the man who placed the ad. "I absolutely must have this bottle, and there are only three surviving in the world, the wealthy Martels he, one is in the heart of the deepest jungle, one is at the bottom of the coldest, darkest sea, and one is at the top of the highest mountain. I will pay your expenses for however long it takes to bring me one of these bottles, as well as giving you the ten million."

First, he gathers a retinue of guides and hunters to go with him into the jungle. He studies for months to prepare, and when he is ready to survive, he sets out to get the bottle. Into the jungle he goes, and after many close calls, and much loss of life, he finds the bottle.
As he is on his way out of the jungle with the bottle well packed and padded, he is attacked by wild animals, and not only is he badly mauled, but the box with the tis bottle goes flying, and box and bottle shatter.
It takes some time for him to recover from his injuries, but when he's well enough, he begins preparations to retrieve the bottle at the bottom of the sea. He takes diving lessons, hires the newest and best deep-sea diving equipment and crew, and takes to the sea. With little trouble, they managed to get the bottle, but on the way up, they are attacked by sharks, and have to rush to the surface. In the hurry, the fellow not only gets the bends, but the bottle falls and breaks on the deck. More time in the hospital later, recovering slowly, he's more determined than ever to get the third and final bottle. "

I've so had it with Apple's crappy software and progtard bent that I've bought my last iPhone. Problem is, Google's at least as bad in its own way. Looking at a OnePlus One loaded with Cyanogenmod, a semi-de-googled Android.

I'm an expert at blowing shit up...part of the reason I joined the Army.
That said, there's stupid shit, and then there's unassing the area because some serious stupid shit is about to go down.
In the case of possibly blowing your own head clean off your shoulders...that's a tackling and get a mud hole stomped in your ass (though getting clowned about it forever is a plus for those that have to rescue your stupid head).
I've had to deal with you gun bunnies, tankers and 11 bang bangs. I'm very much aware of Crazy Shit That Bored Soldiers Do.

The Air Force was actually dropping leaflets of future bombing targets ahead of time. These were the normal bombings but those were bad enough. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were on a leaflet dropped a few days before the actual bombings.
The thing to remember is we nuked them twice and there was still an attempted coup to continue the war.

Good Morning Morons. Today is Monday, July 06, 2015. On this day in 1189 Richard I "the Lionheart" acceded to the English throne. Contrary to the myths provoked by the Errol Flynn Robin Hood movie he spent very little time in England after he became king, preferring to stay in France after he came back from the third crusade.

The plot though was fairly straightforward except for the time travel logic. Of course that is never straightforward. They play off the original two films pretty well. If I wasn't so jaded, I probably would have liked the humor more.

I agree. I think a lot of conservatives are re-evaluating their approach. Talk shows, blogs, web sites, and think tanks don't seem to have accomplished anything. My denomination hinted that the current government is no longer a legitimate ruling government. It is a superior power, but not legitimate in a Biblical sense.

"The Iranians want the ballistic missile sanctions lifted. They say there is no reason to connect it with the nuclear issue, a view that is difficult to accept," a Western official told Reuters. "There's no appetite for that on our part." Iranian and Western officials confirmed this view. Separately, a senior Iranian official told reporters on condition of anonymity in the Austrian capital on Monday that Tehran wanted a United Nations arms embargo terminated as well.

Google-owned online mapping company Waze is launching a carpooling pilot program in Israel where commuters pay fellow drivers a small fee for a ride to and from work.
The new application, called RideWith, will use Waze's navigation system to learn the routes drivers most frequently take to work and match them up with people looking for a ride in the same direction.

It is now run to pander to the freeloaders and special interests. And while they rail at the 1%ers they are in bed with assholes like Warren Buffett.

As far as I'm concerned, there is only one effective response to the DC tyranny. We all know what it is.
