I find it amusing that the GOPe media are happily adopting the Democrat tactic of assigning their own interpretations, factual or otherwise (mostly "otherwise"), to the words of candidates they don't approve of. I have noticed an increase in Trump posts written in a condescending, disapproving tone that take his statements out of context in hopes of stirring up a frenzy.
Anyway, read what he actually said yourself: http://bit.ly/1WkKfn1
Now that the Witches of Salem seem to be waddling toward Rubio, it would be nice if some site, somewhere, would report and opine on ALL candidates without putting words in their mouths.

Six months after hitting the market with a $29 million price tag, the Pontiac Silverdome is out of time. The property's owner has shifted strategies and is now preparing to tear down the empty and battered 40-year-old stadium next year in the belief that the 127-acre site would be more marketable without the Silverdome than with it.
Triple Investment Group bought the Silverdome in 2009 at auction from the city of Pontiac for $583,000.
DetNews
The Silverdome sold for the price of a 2+2 condo in Studio City.
*shakes head*
And getting kinda ambitious on the profit margin there, guys.

Amazing that they didn't throw in the rest of the city of Pontiac as a deal sweetener.
Bicoastal finance types who normally shun "flyover country" continue to speak in excited cocaine-fueled logorrhea about the magical wonderful amazing potential Rust Belt resurgence where they've scooped up cheap property.
A resurgence which never actually happens in reality, because of the terminally fucked-up politics, economics and demographics of the Rust Belt.
I'm sure that sooner or later someone in an office in midtown Manhattan is going to emit a bunch of blather about how Gary, Indiana is going to be America's next big boomtown. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

I think quite a few of the positions Disney assigned to H1Bers were in Florida.
And, to be fair, if it's a "thumb in the eye" for Teh Roob, it's entirely self-inflicted. Ditto for Cruzer: he wants to crank out H1Bs like they were Kandy Korn.

F-15 pilots who have flown in "formation" with P-51's report that they hope they are never called on to dogfight against one. Take out the Mavericks, and it's advantage Mustang. Take out the speed factor, and Mustangs would have their hands full with Fokkers. Also, biplanes are STOL. Q.E.D.
I have asserted for decades that there is no combat technology, to include pikes, in which the United States does not need to maintain a basic competence. Keep in mind that when USAF Special Forces (hereinafter referred as "Air Force Cavalry") invaded Afghanistan, they had to borrow wooden saddles from the locals. Our stocks of perfectly good McClellans at Fort Riley, once the largest stockpile in Jane's, had been sold off as surplus. See what happens?
Now touch off boilers one though three, and make ready for sea. Black gang to the coal bunker.

The next time that I'm grandly pontificating with simplistic bromides on subjects that I've never studied in any depth or detail, and after I've made a huge ass out of myself by multiply contradicting my own previous statements, I do hope that someone will dignify the resulting hot mess for me by referring to me as having "strayed from my own orthodoxy".

One thing that has interested me -- aside from the smaller/more maneuverable fighter vs. the bigger/faster-in-straight-line fighter -- is the psychological aspect of waging war with some of the older technology.
What do enemy on the ground think and do when they see a sky filled with hundreds of B-29s, or a flight of Mustangs coming at them at treetop level? Is that not going to get the wind up them more than some tiny speck of a B2 or an invisible missile?

Come on. Show an example from Trump's history demonstrating any commitment to constitutional government. Any commitment at all.
It's not there.
I understand that we want to support someone who might do something to restore constitutional government, but Trump just isn't that man.

Somewhere around here I have some gorgeous old lithographs from the age of grand airships. The inherent romance of which will never die. Steampunk bitches!
I also have a copy of John McPhee's _The Deltoid Pumpkin Seed_, about one of the endless attempts to revive that bygone era with modern aeronautical engineering technologies.
However, in reality, the worst enemy of all large lighter-than-air craft is and remains the insoluble problem of bad weather. The sky is bigger than the biggest Zeppelin, and she has a terrible temper.

No. A submunitions strike or a thermobaric bomb will get the message across much better than most WW2 weapons. The invisible missile is just an assassination attempt with collateral damage. Bulk weapons now-a-days allow a much smaller force to do much more damage. It's all about being cost effective when you have an all out war.

Yes, Ryan's family has always lived in Janesville. I think all of his brothers and sisters still live there too. Priebus lives pretty much next door to the Lutheran high school where Little Winger went, which is a good hour away. I think he moved there from out East somewhere when he was around 7 or 8. Janesville is a good distance away. Priebus is Greek Orthodox and Ryan is Catholic, so I don't know how their paths would have crossed in childhood.
I do believe they came across each other in their early twenties, but that is just something I heard in passing. Nothing confirmed. The three of them, Walker, Ryan and Priebus are in roughly the same age range.

Donald Trump's Hair isn't the problem and he isn't the enemy. TFG, Shrillary, Bernie, and the rest of the radical far-left is.
If he does want to win, perhaps he'll become the populist we need right now. He pisses off all the right people, including the MFM. That's enough for me, although I'm still a Cruz guy.

Dude, this is one of those "when did you stop beating your wife?" questions.
I could say "Show an example from Rubio's history (or, for that matter, Heb!'s, or Shrillery's) demonstrating any commitment to constitutional government" and challenge you. You couldn't come up with one either. Well, unless you cheated and decided "taking money from it" is a commitment to constitutional government....
IMO, your first mistake is thinking that all Trump supporters are breathless, doe-eyed worshipers of the guy. We're not. I'm not. I know damn well the guy has more faults than Los Angeles County.
But he is saying things I like, and he has a record of accomplishing real stuff, which can't be said of any other wannabe Preezys.
I'm not expecting him to Save the Country. At best, I'm hoping he can start us back on the right track. Again, that would be more than any of the established, bought-and-paid-for political hacks could do.

Alabama never had casinos. At least not legally.

The governor Riley took exception, and had the places closed down, eventually some people went to jail for it.

Aldebaran.
Years back, observed a grazing occultation of Aldebaran by the moon, where the very edge of the lunar disc just barely went over the star.
Pretty spectacular. You could the star flickering wildly for minutes as its light was blocked by lunar mountains or gleamed thru the canyons.

I really like BibleGateway,com. They publish a verse of the day, they have so many study guides, and you can look up verses in something like thirty-odd different translations. The verse I posted above is from the Holman Christian Study Bible, which I think is a really scholarly translation. I also happen to know one of the editors that was responsible for translating Daniel along with some of the New Testament books, so I may be a little biased.

Yeppers. Had it for years.
And FS, I guess I am quietly preaching something. I never gave it a second thought until about ten years ago when someone axed me if I was a Christian. I'd never been axed that before and I was a little taken aback, but I don't know why. I guess I'd never really thought about it before, but yeah, I am.
I came out as a Christian and haven't looked back or regretted it. I just hope The Big Guy considers me one when it's my time to hop on that express elevator to St. Peter's Gates.

Well, he wasn't initially intending to. That was a common practice-to set ideas for discussion in a public place. It was intended for debate/.discussion just among his colleagues at the university. He posted them in Latin which the common people didn't read. However, people living in the town got a hold of them, translated them into German and with the printing press the rest is history.
I do think that if Luther hadn't taken that step someone would have. It's not as if the Reformation began with Luther.

Correct. John Hus was burned at the stake about a hundred years or so before Luther. He was burned at the stake. There were others too. Time to dig out my Foxe's Book of Martyrs. My memory isn't what it used to be. For instance, was Wycliffe before or after.
Need to dig.
