Suntori is getting advertising in return for supporting Japan's space effort. There is no science to be learned about whether whiskey "mellows" the same in space as on Earth.
Wine continues to age in the bottle. Whiskey ages in the barrel and stops aging when it's bottled.
But good on Suntori for the stunt.

I still cant believe people with positions which can be hurt by scandal wd sign up with that stupid dating site. One guy said he was a widower when he signed and is suing. One, I dont think the company is going to have much in the way of assets left. Two, even if you werent married you were looking to hook up with women who were. Dont make you a saint, buddy.

So I noticed last night that all the financial reporting was "oh, this is just a blip, don't worry, everything is fine," blah, blah, blah.
But I noticed yesterday that the Dow had lost nearly 2000 points since May. We're in a 3 month continuous slide. That's what makes me nervous.
Even with all the funny money the Fed has been pumping into the economy, we've been falling pretty steadily since May and no one is reporting on that. Yesterday, it seems, only made news because of exactly how bad it was- and if there's a rally today to erase most or all of those losses, we'll be treated to "happy days are here again."
But that won't erase 3 months of losses.

Now, aging whisk[e]y in oak grown in space...that would be worth looking into. The wood would have a unique cellular structure. But gravity, humidity changes, and heat ranges are pretty big factors in aging, and those are things you tend to avoid in orbit.
Wood will have a role in space someday. Probably cheaper to hydroponic wood fibers than to smelt comet dust. Win a beer bet? The Mercury heat shields were made of sintered cork and oak. By Studebaker.
There are Russians on that space station. What in hell makes Suntory think they'll get their whiskey back?

AllenG , sorry response got willowed--
And you can thank the big corporations just as much as the government
for a lot of that. Big corps like big regulation - it limits
competition.
AllenG yes this is what I was getting at, poorly.
There
are always trade-offs. I think TFG was blathering talking points and
buzzwords as usual when he called tax relocation "unpatriotic".
There
is a certain point , though where the government does have an interest
and receives a benefit. That benefit , which is not the 'duty' of the
corporation which has been pointed out, will either be in employment of
citizens, or in some other mutual interest.
It is not the duty
of a government of the people to provide fraudulent and foreign cheap
labor to corporations and a Wall Street machine to launder all that phat
government-corporate cash.
Taxes may hurt little guys but the big players (donors) more than make it up on the other side.

This SJW thing has gotten so corrosive it actually makes me more confident it cannot endure. They're now consuming their own and eating away at their own support. Its very possible (particularly with a lot of the backlash against PC we're seeing with Trump and other things) that it's going to flame out rather than spread and take over.

Yep. This.
You have various groups fighting over most-favored-victim status. The SJWs decided to burn down the Hugos rather than let "wrongfans" have any say in who wins (and burn it down they did, to anyone paying an iota of attention, it is quite clear that the 5 No Awards were specifically to spite the Puppies).

@29 The Studebaker division was CTL. There is an account by the head of the section of how, after the flurry of activity to prepare the pieces, he finally got to take a vacation, and was called to the phone from a swimming pool in Florida when John Glenn's heat-shield straps came into question. He said he was for a moment the loneliest man in the world, sopping wet in just trunks, holding a telephone and looking up at the sky...

Seriously, it would be funny if it weren't so scary. People are going to believe this crap. And yet, despite their protestations that there are "no positive stereotypes" and that ALL stereotypes should be abandoned (ask your communication profs about that, Rutgers, and see what they think), I guarantee you that it will still be just fine to discriminate against white males and/or conservatives.
Because they're "in power" or whatever.

Agreed. However, this is what Trump likes to do - get it little spats with other celebrities, like his tweet-baiting Rosie O'Donell. Not pretty from a presidential candidate.

"All speech has cost and consequences?"
Are your emoticons implying that's wrong? I thought you were smarter than that.
Governments shouldn't impose the consequences on your speech; free people are certainly allowed to.

Here's a pro tip, Schmitzy - if you're going to damn Teh Donald for his "offensive political views," it might be incumbent upon you to actually spell out what those 'views' are and what is so offensive about them.
Or, you know, just out yourself as a !Jeb-felching RINO rat bastard. Your choice.

I wouldn't say that they're always bashing Trump. If you do a search on their website you'll see both pro and con of Trump.
The level of hyperbole has pretty much beclowned the balance of their writers. It's like NRO's little Buzzfeedy formatted cousin.
I have other things to read and they no longer make the short list *shrug*.
BTW I thought Hot Gas' criticism of Trump today was valid and brought up some decent points.

Yeah, but somebody needs to explain to The Donald the concept of "punching down," and why he should stop doing it.
It does not (yet, at least) seem to be hurting him, so why should he stop doing it?
The last Republican President, and last two Republican Candidates refused to "punch down," and look where that got *them*.
Seriously, might either of the last two elections gone differently if McCain or Romney had been willing to be combative with the Media? What if, when asked, "What about your gaaaaaaffs!?!" Romney had replied, "So, how do you like the taste of Obama's cock?" (Well, okay, not that specifically, but something along those lines)?
I can't help but think that a lot of the outrage is that Megyn Kelly is (in theory, at least) on "our" side. But I don't think Trump sees it that way. I think Trump believes all the Media is going to be against (or at least not 'for') the Republican candidate (whoever that is), so it's a good idea to set the ground rules early.
Now, you can agree with that or disagree with that, but I don't think this is "punching down" in the way it used to be used.

Seriously, it would be funny if it weren't so scary. People are going to believe this crap. And yet, despite their protestations that there are "no positive stereotypes" and that ALL stereotypes should be abandoned (ask your communication profs about that, Rutgers, and see what they think), I guarantee you that it will still be just fine to discriminate against white males and/or conservatives.

Are your emoticons implying that's wrong? I thought you were smarter than that.
In any meaning that is worth communicating, yes it is wrong.
Yes, all speech has cost. So do breathing, eating, pooping, and everything else we do every day.
Yes, all speech has consequences. So do breathing, eating, pooping, and everything else we do every day.
But that is not what they're trying to say. They're trying to sell self-censorship under the guise of "kindness." They trying to say, "Oh, if your words hurt someone else's feelings, then you said a bad thing," even if you did not, in fact, say a bad thing.
They are trying to build a culture wherein the only allowed speech is explicitly value neutral (things like ordering food- though, not wrongfood like Chick-fil-A), or explicitly "approved" by some ever-changing standard.
Yes, Rutgers has every right to do that on their campus as a private entity. And I have every right to point out that it is stupid and hypocritical for them to so do.
To believe that "all speech has cost and consequences" in the way they mean it, you would have to believe that one should self censor comments like, "Man, that movie really sucked!" Because, you see, that movie *might* be made by a feminist activist, or gay activist, or the protagonist might be black or hispanic, or maybe the producer is pro-Trans. And your comment "Man, that movie really sucked" is really just furthering the power of The White Cis Patriarchy to keep minorities down, and not a statement on whether or not the movie was any good.

Similarly, the complaints by La Raza Inc will be block quoted, while the complaints of Asians will go unmentioned.
And if you point out this inconsistency, you will be blocked on twitter. or unfriended or something.

And so the DOPe will burn itself to the ground rather than even contemplate that Trump might be popular, or that the proles might want some actual representation (yes, those are two distinct statements- Trump will likely not "represent" us better than anyone else, and worse than some).
In many ways, this is politically-active Conservatives version of Sad Puppies, or GamerGate. The Wrongvoters with wrongthoughts want finally to have a say in what goes on in the party which claims to represent them. And, just like with GG and SP, the Truvoters with Goodthoughts would rather burn it down than concede one inch of territory.

They did have a couple of marches for the litttle girl.

A fe days later they had some kind of nonsense again. It was all in response to criticisms by non blm people.
for what it is worth, it is all nonsense. This was a gang shooting and most people who live there know something but will not tell the cops. Screw your balloons. Just tell the cops what you know.

I read the Federalist often. I wouldn't say that they're always bashing Trump. If you do a search on their website you'll see both pro and con of Trump.

That's "poly-sex advocacy blog The Federalist".
Here's the search:

Note the trend. And now include which articles are being linked, retweeted and uptwinked by Team GOPe and their blogsters cohorts.

It's funny to me that the GOP-E is claiming Trump isn't a true conservative, and fuming, "Why are conservative voters looking at Trump when we have true conservative candidates in our line-up?"
These are the same GOP operatives that destroyed true conservative candidates like Chris McDaniel, Matt Bevin, and Milton Wolf.
If Trump wasn't in the race, they'd be telling us that the "true conservatives" like Cruz and Walker are "too extreme" and we need to support an "electable centrist" like Jeb, Rubio, or Kasich.
SRSLY, F those guys and F the GOP.

It does not (yet, at least) seem to be hurting him, so why should he stop doing it?
_____________________
Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that Trump shouldn't be combative with the media. He was right to call out Kelly for her hostile questioning of him during the Faux "debate." But having won that skirmish, why is he still trashing her now? It makes him look petty, and it makes her more sympathetic.
I'm all for Trump, or any other non-leftist candidate, bashing the clearly-biased media when they're acting as Dim flacks. But once you've scored your hit and made your point, you move on. You don't keep pummeling the person.
If Romney, during the debates, had called out Candy Crowley and asked her why she was spinning lies about Obama's post-Benghazi statements, that would have been great. "Hey, Candy, how is it that you happen to have a transcript of Obama's Rose Garden remarks in your hand right now? Who in the White House have you been co-ordinating with to try and make sure Obama's talking points are spun in his favor here tonight? And say, if you're going to refer to the transcript, why not read all of it out loud, so the American voters at home can hear the full context of Obama's remarks?"
But then, after having made his point, if the next day Romney was sending out tweets saying "hey, didn't I make that fugly bitch Candy Crowley look like a fool last night? Did I teach that fat cow a lesson, or what?" -- that would have been going too far. Maybe Crowley would have deserved it, but it still wouldn't be the right thing to do.
Most Americans, especially conservative Americans, want their president to behave with some degree of dignity. And continuing to attack a person after you've bested them just isn't dignified.

In a rare move, the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs filed an amicus curiae brief late Monday in a lawsuit filed by four women whose children have been denied birth certificates by the Texas Department of State Health Services because of the mothers' legal status in the country.

____________________
I get that, and it's fine if he wants to just continue being a reality t.v. celebrity. But if he really wants to help solve some of this country's very serious problems, he needs to start acting like it. He has a platform now that he could use to great advantage -- both his own, and his country's. Stop talking about what a bimbo Megyn Kelly is and start talking about how many murders and rapes illegal aliens are committing each year in the U.S., or how many hundreds of billions of dollars they're costing us every year. That's what got voters excited about Trump in the first place -- his willingness to tell the truth (some of it, at least) about the scourge of the illegal alien invasion of our country, being aided and abetted by our own corrupt government.

Sure it's not presidential, but he's playing the game he knows the rules to.
____________________
I get that, and it's fine if he wants to just continue being a reality t.v. celebrity. But if he really wants to help solve some of this country's very serious problems, he needs to start acting like it. He has a platform now that he could use to great advantage -- both his own, and his country's. Stop talking about what a bimbo Megyn Kelly is and start talking about how many murders and rapes illegal aliens are committing each year in the U.S., or how many hundreds of billions of dollars they're costing us every year.

But I'm glad he's doing it. We'll see all the huffing and puffing people do, because The Donald is picking on a girl. But Megyn is not a girl. She's a mouthpiece, for a big, gaping, festering stinkhole of a tv channel.
Posted by: BurtTC at August 25, 2015 09:37 AM (TOk1P)
Eh, I don't care that Kelly is a gurrrl. She's one odd Fox's biggest personalities so she should be able to take it like a man. I just don't think what Trump is doing is necessary. But who knows, it may be productive.
The thing, though, is that if the GOP had actually demonstrated even a modicum of courage and non-treachery once in a while, almost everyone would find Trump's behavior appalling. But their constant capitulation makes his temperament attractive to so many.

VA GOPe up to it's old tricks:
Amid mounting concerns about Donald Trumps candidacy from the GOP establishment, Republican leaders in at least two states have found a way to make life a lot harder for him.
The Virginia and North Carolina parties are in discussions about implementing a new requirement for candidates to qualify for their primary ballots: that they pledge to support the Republican presidential nominee and not run as a third-party candidate in the general election.
The procedural moves are clearly aimed at Trump, who pointedly refused to rule out a third-party run during the first GOP debate.

>>By the way, I dread Trump running third party, but the establishment shouldn't act like they are oh so holy
They're daring the current most popular GOP candidate to go 3rd party.
They're attempting to bully a guy who just sued a bunch of companies (and Univision) that dropped him over his up-PC comments on immigration.
They're attempting to get Trump supporters back on the GOP plantation by kneecapping the guy they've run to as a big "Fcuk you!" to the other candidates.
It's 25 different kinds of stupid.

In answer to the 007 green figs question from the EMT: It was 'From Russia With Love'. He ordered breakfast from room service. "Yogurt, green figs, coffee very black".
The second Bond film and probably my favorite.

That is true for you (and me, for that matter), but the fact is that Trump is looking better than the GOPe to many people.
His rise started when he told the base, and other people, for that matter, what they had been dying to hear on illegal immigration while the GOPe had been trying to shove amnesty down their throats. He seemed to be concerned with what what they thought in contrast to the national party. Being human, this has endeared a lot of people to him and will color their attitudes towards his actions.
The fact that he never backs down is also a big thing for people tired of having their politicians fold if someone on the left or in the media (BIRM) sneezed.
It is what it is.

But then, after having made his point, if the next day Romney was sending out tweets saying "hey, didn't I make that fugly bitch Candy Crowley look like a fool last night? Did I teach that fat cow a lesson, or what?" -- that would have been going too far. Maybe Crowley would have deserved it, but it still wouldn't be the right thing to do.

Candidates falling outside the top ten in the state are Rick Perry at 2%, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, and Rick Santorum at 1%, and Jim Gilmore, Mike Huckabee, and Bobby Jindal all at less than 1%.

All the Bond movies are "virtually" parodies of the novels. If someone made a serious version of Just The Plot, you wouldn't recognize the character.
For instance? In Casino Royale, Bond pukes from fear. Won't see Craig do that.
Having said, take out the soundtrack music and the surreal intro sequences, and you have entirely different movies. Musically, the novelistic Bond is forever in 1953: his favorite song is "Vie en La Rose," and he likes Rosemary Clooney. Now, those are tasteful choices, but, not John Barry.

I don't understand why Trump chose to run in the GOP in the first place. He's a political free agent, and if anything he leaned more toward Democrat policies/positions during his decades in the spotlight. I suppose he thought the media would give him no traction if he was running against Hillary, Liz, Bernie, etc. so rather than start as a Third Party candidate he figured he'd start with the GOP.
He's not a stupid man, he knows about Primary eligibility/participation rules, and that States will defend their systems against "outsiders". Presumably he didn't think he could just steamroll over every State organization in the country by force of his snark. Let's see if he's able to actually deal with NC and VA or if he just screams and yells as his time winds down and his name disappears from ballots.

So instead they attack his person. But whatever they say about him is invariably more applicable to his opponents.
Power of fucking positive thinking? How about HOPE! FORWARD!
And then we get gratuitous insults:
"At what he has called the "lowest point" in his career (he has since reached new lows, though perhaps he hasn't noticed)"
And then a mere assertion that anti-Catholicism is the same as not wanting fucking criminals from other countries come here and commit crimes without facing any consequences.
Fuck you, Matt Schitz. Imbecile.
More TDS.
Here's a pro tip, Schmitzy - if you're going to damn Teh Donald for his "offensive political views," it might be incumbent upon you to actually spell out what those 'views' are and what is so offensive about them.

>>Luntz concluded that, Trump is punishment to a Republican elite that wasnt listening to their grassroots.
I really don't find the Trump boom all that surprising and I am surprised that people like Luntz who claim to know politics are. A guy like Trump pops up on the right and left to grab the everyman vote all the time.
Pat Buchanan was the pitchfork guy long before Trump. Newt gave it a whirl last time. And this year we are seeing it on the left with crazy Uncle Bernie.
Not a new phenomena.

There are so many Clued-In Political Experts running around (including some here) who know exactly what's what, and each can and will tell you, repeatedly and incessantly, What the Party Really Needs.
If the Trump phenomenon doesn't give them a clue, they probably can't be made to see reality.
What teh Donald is, in simple terms, is a Human Being, warts and all, and not a political hack polished and focused by a consultant like every one of his rivals. The GOPe will never sit still for someone like that.

Gabe supported Lisa throughout the process, BTW. He even came up with two mutually exclusive arguments to support her two court cases before the election. I can only remember the one about now NOT having to spell a candidate's name exactly correctly on the write-in ballot. And whatever that argument was was the exact opposite of the defence used to get the other law overturned. (Or upheld? I can't recall the second one as I said.)

I don't understand why Trump chose to run in the GOP in the first place. He's a political free agent, and if anything he leaned more toward Democrat policies/positions during his decades in the spotlight.
Fifteen years ago, he'd have fit in on the moderate wing of the Dems. Now that they're on a headlong charge to the left? Not so much, to be honest.
Trump's a sign of several things beyond his own ego here. Many of the "moderate Democrats" who've been wiped out over the last five years need a home, and if they banded together with the Trump folks, it might just become a viable grouping. It wouldn't be conservative by any stretch of the imagination, but it might act as an alternative to the increasingly insane Obamacrats.
As to what good that does us, I couldn't tell you. I'm the first to admit I'm just spitballing at this stage.

No doubt there is a lot of anger and rightfully so. I, like many others, think Trump is useful in providing space for the guys I would like to see actually win, Walker is my favorite so far, but I don't want Trump to win because I honestly have no idea what he would do and I don't think anyone else does either.
Again, at this time last cycle Herman Cain was doing the everyman 9-9-9 shtick and was leading the pack. As soon as Labor Day rolled around and things got serious and nasty, he was gone.

Voting, by necessity, trails trends. The more people are convinced the Gope Party in Washington is welcoming illegals to come in and take over their states (and they are), the more those voters will reject the Party.

If the elites in the party were in any position to make that adjustment, they would have long ago and Trump would never have become what he is.
Trump is an inevitable result of the changes in what passes for our two parties. He, or someone like him, was inevitably going to combine a certain skill set with populist positions and start running wild. You can't get this out of sync with a large swathe of the people and not have this happen.

Attn: all the people writing about Trump and all the people writing about the people writing about Trump.
If you hadn't shit the bed so hard the dust ruffle is still in orbit for the past umpteen years Trump would have nothing to run on. YOU are the problem, the hairpiece is a SYMPTOM.

>>You'd think one of the elites in the party would figure this shit out.
The fact that the Director of the VA GOP is also head of a business org that relies on the labor of illegal immigration indicates that is not likely.

@288 Excellent. Really enjoyed the character "Junius DePont" (the fellow Goldfinger was ripping off at cards). He's the one who bought Bond perhaps the most memorable dinner in that photo-essay, stone crabs, thick toast.
The beginning of that novel has Bond on a BOAC flight, looking out the porthole and speculating what size holes the passengers would leave if the plane came apart in mid-air. Considering the DeHavilland Comet was large in people's minds at the time (it was speculative, for a couple of years, whether a jet airliner would ever work), this was kind of touching. Another Bond self-doubt, not in the films.
He felt kind of bad about killing "The Mexican." In the movies, he just smarts off.

I'm guessing most of Trump's support would evaporate
overnight if someone else adopted his policies/rhetoric. People don't
want Trump in the White House. They're just hungry to hear someone say
what he's saying. You'd think one of the elites in the party would
figure this shit out.
Posted by: HUCK / AKIN 2016 at August 25, 2015 10:32 AM
This might have been true during the week after Trump entered the race, but is no longer valid. Everyone with a pulse would realize that any candidate taking those positions now would be squishing it up at the behest of his "team."
Like Cruz's pathetic "record" in the Senate, what is, is. And it can't be undone. Whoever tries to appeal to Trump's supporters will look like an unprincipled fool. For most, that would be expected, but not necessarily appreciated.

Whats interesting about the Monmouth poll is that Carson has very broad support across all ideologies, and also that Bush (spit!) is well behind the leaders in the muddle just behind "undecided". He's in third place in NH and well back of the pack in Iowa.

>>Note, the guys they ran against didn't win either. Tends to happen when you have a relatively large protest movement against the deemed electable party boss favorite.
Which is why the establishment is worried. More than anything including having their anointed candidate, they want to win.
I actually do too. Call me crazy but I don't want Hillary or Biden even if the alternative is not my favorite.

304 The GOP in WA state controls the state senate. And what was their first order of business in 2015 after winning the senate? Increasing spending on transportation combined with a 15 cent gas tax increase.
Good thing we didn't elect Democrats, huh?
Posted by: HUCK / AKIN 2016 at August 25, 2015 10:37
Wasn't too long ago you were clamoring for an increase of the federal gas tax. Either you are in favor of tax hikes or you aren't. But why do I discuss this with a know it fucking all?

The GOPe isn't interested in learning about or figuring out why Trump is getting support. They want to figure out how to get him out of the way so they can go back to business as usual.

117 The gas tax was last increased in 1993. I didn't know that. Given it's 22 years later, it's not that crazy to raise it again, since it was never indexed for inflation.

Well, Trump really shouldn't be a serious candidate.
Could someone, ANYONE please , please point to a 'serious candidate?
Because I would love to see one of those before I die.

I would not think less of Cruz if he adopted more of Trump's stronger immigration positions, because he's not too bad in that department. If anyone else were to do so, though, I'd recognize the opportunism right away.

Right after Labor Day, if you believe Monica Crowley, Biden jumps in the race. He obviously hopes Hillary has to leave it to fight going to prison, making him the de facto nominee.
He's a lying scumbag and while I think he epitomizes all that I cannot stand about the fake Democrats and the thoughtless way they are trying to kill America, I have to give him some credit: fortune is his friend this year, and that fact alone can carry a candidate a long effin way.

So, now, thinking Trump is an asshole -- an asshole who supported single-payer healthcare and used eminent domain to steal land from old ladies, to name two things at random -- is somehow proof of "derangement" syndrome, and support of Jeb.
Um, OK. So, quick question: how much are you astroturf posters getting paid?
