2 Drunk driver crashes through the wall of a house killing one teen and injuring another who were watching TV. I have often thought about this myself as I live at the edge of a curve and occasionally we get drunks ripping up and down the street not realizing it is a dead end road despite the sign that says dead end road at the corner.

Growing up there was a house along SR-23 south of Columbus that was by a sloped curve. Some drunk hit went flying off the curve and through the second story bedroom. Luckily everyone was downstairs.

John Boehner once took a yoga class with his successor Paul Ryan.

Boehner said on CNN's "State of the Union" he started doing yoga last year, taking a class with Ryan and Rep. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.).




Reagan used to chop logs, ride horses and go on shooting hikes for exercise.

Actually the Democrats sudden cross-over to being anti-military had more to do with the South abandoning the Democrat Party. Signing up for the anti-US anti-military meme killed the Democrat Party in the South.

5 On the Russian passenger plane crash:


According to people with knowledge of the investigation, the remains of the plane's tail section, which had been damaged in a 2001 accident, were found several miles away from the front fuselage and cockpit. In addition, the bodies of several victims were discovered a significant distance from the main debris field, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the inquiry.

True dat, JJ. I don't think teh Fred really wanted the presidency, though. IIRC, his "campaign" never got past the level of saying "okay, I'll run if you insist" and fizzled out early. I don't blame him.

He was not a political hack, just a decent, honest man. Those are as rare in politics as Passenger Pigeons.

He convinced me to consider a reverse mortgage. And I didn't even own a house.

Meanwhile, this:

Thank You, John Boehner
by Suhail A. Khan

the most lasting accomplishments of Boehners legacy was his boldly ending earmarks in 2011 and the passage of the Budget Control Act later that year, which capped discretionary spending saving taxpayers trillions.

humanevents.com/2015/10/30/thank-you-john-boehner/

That would be the "deal" the Republican controlled Congress just tossed into the trash last week. "Lasting".

And, earmarks never completely went away, they xenomorphed. And there was a lot of chatter recently that this "important tool" needs to officially come back.

This year, a record low 52 fires were reported in Detroit over the three-day "Angels Night" period starting Oct. 29 and ending at midnight on Halloween.

The 52 total is down from 97 last year and a far cry from the nightmarish days of the 1980s, when the tradition took root and hundreds of suspicious fires roared throughout the city. In 1984, there where 801 fires, which is the record.

This years record low follows years of decline thanks to an all-out campaign by city officials to marshal volunteers, enforce a curfew and have a large presence of police and fire fighters. During the past four years, the annual number of fires during the three days hovered between 93 and 97.

This year, more than 4,000 volunteers patrolled the streets while 400 police officers were deployed as well as extra Fire Department personnel, city officials said. Prior to the Angels Night period, police towed 380 abandoned vehicles. Only two vehicle fires were set during the Angels Night period.

81 The Russian airline whose jet crashed in Egypt killing everyone on board said on Monday the crash could not have been caused by technical faults or human error.

The crash, in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, could only have been the result of some other "technical or physical action" which caused it to break up in the air and then plummet to the ground, said Alexander Smirnov, deputy general director of the airline, Kogalymavia.

"The plane was in excellent condition," Smirnov told a news conference in Moscow. "We rule out a technical fault and any mistake by the crew," he said.

So say the people who think that Malaysian Airline just fell out of the sky....fastest investigation in history? Or as they call it in Russian- "Covering your commie ass"

Gov. John Kasich came out more aggressive in last week's Republican debate and the new approach apparently won over at least one person, albeit a fictional one.

In Sunday's "Doonesbury" cartoon, Mike, the comic strip's everyman character, says, while he's still undecided, "John Kasich is growing on me."

109 A favorite theme of democrats is that Richard Nixon engaged in a racist 'southern strategy' in order to win election.

The actual truth of the matter is that the introduction of air conditioning in the early 50's suddenly made the southern states tolerable year round. A massive exodus of predominantly white republicans to the south created a transfer of nearly 30 electoral votes from the north to the south.

But a lie spreads around the world before the truth has a chance to put its shoes on.

Only newspaper comic I read these days is Dilbert, and that only on those rare occasions a newspaper presents itself at some point in the day when I have a moment to examine it.
Calling a modern newspaper fishwrap does a disservice to both fish and the concept of wrapping.

I went on rant in the ONT Sun morn.

I don't turn back but one clock. And that's to push the "DST" button. The computer changes automagically and so does one clock I have, all the rest stay at EST and I just double check the ones set to "real" time in case of appointments or scheduling.

If we can't get that changed when it's known it causes physical and mental disorientation, how can we expect to change anything else?

Stop Daylight Savings Time. Because it DOESN'T SAVE SHIT.

205 A robbery suspect came into a store in Chicago and while robbing the store tried to force a female employee into the back of the store. But he ran into something that is rare in Chicago, a CC Permit holder. He was pronounced dead at the scene after being shot multiple times and the lady did not get forced into the back of the store.

Morning, 'rons and 'ronettes. Here's a story I found over the weekend:

I'm sure you know Kirk Douglas' son Michael, but not too many people knowhis son Eric, whose talent, sadly, was drug addiction (he died of an overdose in 2004). Eric attempted a show business career, but never achieved the success of Kirk and Michael.

Sometime in the early 2000s, Eric began a stand-up comedian gig, but, as with his other show business endeavors, it never amounted to much. What made his brief career legend, however, was a night at an obscure London club. Douglas was bombing, badly, and was heckled mercilessly by the audience. Unable to stand it any longer, he yelled, "Don't you know who the fuck I am? I'm the son of Kirk Douglas!"

There was silence. Then a man at a table stood up and said, "No. I am the son of Kirk Douglas!"

Another man stood up. "I am the son of Kirk Douglas!"

And then table after table stood, all riffing off the final scene of Kirk Douglas' Spartacus. It was, effectively, the end of Eric's attempt at comedy.

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

But no doubt some Obama crony pocketed the $42.5 million that was wasted. Probably some old school chum of Michelle or Valerie was running the company that was awarded the winning bid (or just handed the contract w/o any bid, as seems to be the case so often with this corrupt administration).

259 When you pull a gun on someone, you do so in the knowledge you might have to use it. At best.

Some pull a gun because it gives them a thrill. They know the odds of anyone shooting THEM is small.

Which is why more concealed carry needs to be promoted.

Finally got mine.

Fun fact: in PA 1 in 14 have a carry license. National average is 1 in 50. Florida has the most licensees at about 1.3 million and PA has just over a Million and that was in 2011.

So bump the numbers up. That's because in PA:

A. you need a carry license to have a loaded weapon in a car.
B. you need a carry license or you have to be traveling on a direct route to a hunting area, a range or a gunsmith.
C. There's more country than city in PA

Don't believe for a minute that because PA elected a Dem for Gov. that it's Blue. We got screwed by the GOP putting up a dope for Governor and then doubling down.

Outside of philly, harrisburg, allentown and pittsburgh the country is mostly conservative. but the cities swing the state.

I thought the Bengals were using the wrong playlist, or that some Steelers honeypot had walked away with an Android scan of it. After being stung by the killer bees so many times I thought we were going to queef when the defense got tired. Marvin Lewis apparently hung on like the Marines at Chosin and waited for Big Ben to get tired first...

Poor ol' Ben looked his age Sunday, but he was the right pick. If the Steelers had started the wanna-be they had last week, the Bengals' defense would have won the game for us in the first half.

He wasn't right after the first drive. They didn't try many passes that required him to plant and drive the ball after that first drive.

One thing, even though the offense struggled. They did move the ball at times so the defense wasn't left on the field all game. Plus, for how much pressure Dalton was under, he didn't play badly.

281 I got a stupid question.

If it's acceptable to have Sanctuary Cities, where Federal immigration law is ignored, why can't we have the same concept at the State level for cities.

For example, Maryland outlaws purchasing standard capacity firearm magazines with greater then ten round capacity.

What happens if for example, Hagerstown Maryland says "Fukitall" and allows the sale of them?

Well see that's the problem. That's why we need national gun confiscation laws because if someone in Chicago wants a gun, all they have to do is drive to Gary Indiana and buy one.

Most cases, they don't even have to do that. Someone in Gary will buy guns and take them to Chicago to sell on the street. So if you can't buy guns anywhere, that problem would be solved. See?

It's kinda like pot except everyone agrees that smoking pot does no harm, unlike guns what kill people.

I know you're joking, but I really believe much of the driving force for a sexbot is that is represents everything a man wants in a sexual partner - no wrinkles, no loose flab, no smell, perfectly formed breasts, vajayjay and squeakhole, and, most of all, an absolute inability to say "no" to any request.

Which, of course, will all change with the advent of AI, when the sexbots will all be like the one I came across in a story (can't remember the name and won't try to google at work): a man takes in a 'bot for testing; the sales pitch is that it will respond to whatever you like best and eagerly agree to do that. So the man performs an act, sighs "that was the best!" and suddenly is confronted with a 'bot that only will perform that act, and insists on a continual performance, since, as the man said it was the best, it must be what he wants all the time.

The story ends with the man trying to sneak an e-mail off to the company, begging them to take the 'bot back before she shtups him to death.

308 You do realize that you're not allowed to purchase a firearm in any state other than you're residency? That's Federal law I believe.

Of course a fake ID is trivial to fake but they do check your Driver's license when they do a back ground check. Just like when you get stopped for a traffic violation.

All that is checked besides the FBI NCIS database for felons, ex-felons and fugitives listed.

You can't just walk across the border and buy a gun. You have to violate a whole bunch of laws and get away with it to do so.

The Pols know this but they won't mention it when complaining about other cities being responsible for their gun problem.

And it's not really a gun problem, it's a criminal problem.

And that criminality is mostly located in a few areas and perpetrated predominantly by a few certain "ethnicities" and or cultures.

Enforcement of the law is a state level thing. I expect the business owners involved would lose everything and go to jail.
I would also expect the city council to run and hide under the furniture when called on it by the state AG. (That is based on my local government, by the way, not out of knowledge of Hagerstown MD)

Sanctuary cities is done on the local level but ignoring the laws is condoned by the state and feds. SF is only allowed to be a sanctuary city because all the bureaucrats responsible for enforcing the applicable laws, regulations and policies, or imposing sanctions and warnings are wringing their hands and clutching their peals and theatrically moaning, "If only there were someone tasked and paid to do something about this!"

The feds have no problem stepping in and enforcing local laws if they pertain to firearms.

357 I think one thing that caused Tarantino to open his vapid yap was the fact that he desperately wants to be black.

The films and filmmakers he copies, the genres he fixates on, and even some of his painful interviews make it clear he's a white geek who would desperately love the 'cool' cred of an ethnic background.

Pandering to an anti-cop mentality is just Mr. Pasty-White trying to be colorful.

358 Speaking of guns, my son directed me to AR15 builder dot com this weekend. He thought I could design a self-build that would cost less than a stock model. My self-build dream machine came to $1598 before shipping.

Has nothing to do with committing in that sense.

In college, my friends and I noticed that people majored in Psychology for 1 of 2 reasons. To learn how to manipulate people, or to figure themselves out. Neither is a quality you would want in a therapist.

Twas one of my majors, and for neither reason. In my case it was because I'd had someone [fiancé] disappear due to mental illness and I could do nothing about it. Don't like being helpless.

Holding down premiums by jacking up deductibles. My deductible went up 33%.

This year, a record low 52 fires were reported in Detroit over the three-day "Angels Night" period starting Oct. 29 and ending at midnight on Halloween.

The 52 total is down from 97 last year and a far cry from the nightmarish days of the 1980s, when the tradition took root and hundreds of suspicious fires roared throughout the city. In 1984, there where 801 fires, which is the record.


Alternate headline: Nothing left to burn.

366 "Outside of philly, harrisburg, allentown and pittsburgh the country is mostly conservative. but the cities swing the state."

Guess what? Cities have lots of people in them. And areas with lots of people have more votes, because more people.

Consider a rural county that has 10 square miles, 100 cows, and 10 people. You know how many votes they have? The answer is 10.

Then there's a city that has 10 square miles, no cows, and 100,000 people. You know how many votes they have? 100,000.

It's not a conspiracy. More people live in cities than live in rural areas.

You know what that is called? Democracy.

367 At 12:30 am last night I went to bed higher than a kite over my Royals winning the World Series. At 2:00 am I thought I was going to have to go the ER. Worse case of the runs I have ever had. Nausea, cold sweats, nearly passed out in the bathroom. Food poisoning? NO idea, but I never want that to happen to me ever again. Really kind of took the joy out of the win Sorry, I know TMI but I just can't imagine what the hell happened to my body last night.
