The Nation Is Taking a Tour To Russia
But nothing will ever come close to PJ O'Rourke's hilarious account of joining a 1982 Nation-sponsored Volga cruise:
I never did get it, what this trip was all about. I stood at the rail of the cruise ship Alexander Pushkin staring out at the vast rolling shore of the Volga. Here or there was a patch of grain, not high enough even in late July to conceal the line of furrows plowed straight downhill in the most erosion-producing way possible. And here or there was a skinny cow in an untidy hectare of pasture. But most of the land looked empty, unsown, ungrazed, uncultivated. And all around me were minds just as fallow.
I was on something called the Volga Peace Cruise, a sixteen-day trip to the USSR featuring a nine-day boat ride from Rostov north up the Don, through the Don-Volga canal, and on up the Volga River to Kazan. The 160 passengers were all Americans. Most were antinuke activists and peace-group organizers with sixties leftover looks. Others were products of the Old Left. The peaceniks talked about peace, mostly in terms of atomic holocaust. The leftists talked about peace, mostly in terms of Soviet-American relations. The entire program of the "peace cruise" consisted in the bunch of us talking about peace. And the Soviet government had provided five Russian "peace experts" to talk about peace too.
I have a sneaking love of the old-time left and that compendium of their snits and quarrels, The Nation. Mind you, I'm a registered Republican and consider socialism a violation of the American principle that you shouldn't stick your nose in other people's business except to make a buck. Still, Wobblies, Spanish Civil War veterans, the Hollywood Ten touch the heart somehow.But, to tell the truth, I'd never met any Old Leftists. I expected them to be admirable and nasty, like Lillian Hellman, or brilliant, mysterious, denying everything, like Alger Hiss, or-best of all-hard-bitten and cynical but still willing to battle oppression, like Rick in Casablanca. I did not expect them to be the pack of thirty fussing geriatrics I met at Kennedy Airport, misplacing their hand luggage, losing their way to the ladies' room, barking at the airline personnel, and asking two hundred times which gate we'd have to be at in three and a half hours.
They were leftists all right. In between palsies of fretting, they'd tell you how wonderful the Soviet Union was: Pensions were huge, housing was cheap, and they practically paid you to get medical care. Believe me, you haven't been bored until you've been buttonholed by a seventy-year-old woman who holds forth all afternoon on the perfidity of American foreign policy and shows you pictures of her grandchildren. These were people who believed everything about the Soviet Union was perfect, but they were bringing their own toilet paper.
So What Happened to The CEO Who Made the Minimum Wage at His Company $70K a Year?
Now he's in court over whether he cheated his brother of his fair share of the company and under investigation for cheating clients.
This small-scale experiment shows that my colleagues' honesty rate greatly depends on something as simple as a pen hanging down from the refrigerator. The theft rate went up from a mere one out of 14 cans to no less than one out of three cans once the pen was taken away. This amounted to a 370% increase in the theft rate.

Which, once again, I would attribute to the practice of those who hold views against the dominant elitists' cutting-off pollsters. If you answer, "hell, yes, I'm in favor of Brexit" and are hit by months of targeted robo-communications -- the next time someone asks, "are you in favor of local control?", you're just going to hang-up in disgust.

It's a good thing for the cause of freedom on the whole, because the EU is a totalitarian institution. It's an unelected bureaucracy that now has more power over its constituent nations than the United States of America does on its states.
The EU would not be on our side for much longer if it survived. The UK leaving the EU might just put a stake in the heart of that fascist vampire and create a new birth of freedom on the continent.

Pretty much everything, frankly.
It has no obvious impact on the war on terror. This is an economic matter.Britain never had control of the EU. We never had a stronghold on the EU.
It's not at all clear that the UK will have less power. Right now they can't scratch their balls without an OK from Brussels.And it's certainly not clear that the US will have less power. Arguably, it'll have more, especially once we get rid of the Negro Nullity, because the UK will naturally look to us, and will be unfettered by the Eurofags in so doing.
Apart from that, an apposite comment.

You're missing the mass wave of muslim immigration. The larger the muslim population in Western European countries, the less likely they are to participate in the war against Islamo-fascism. Britain reasserting its right to control its own immigration policy gives hope that they will be in the fight in the long term. If Germany continues with the mass influx of muslims, we can count them out. They will soon be removing the freedoms of their own native citizens to appease the demands of their new population.

As it orbits the sun, asteroid 2016 HO3 spends about half of the time closer to the sun than Earth, and passes ahead of our planet.
I don't get it. If the asteroid actually gets closer to the Sun than it is to the Earth, why doesn't the Sun's gravity capture it? The Sun's hugely larger gravity well should swamp any effect the Earth has and drag the asteroid into the Sun's orbit.
But, if you go by the orbits depicted in the graphic, they don't match the statement. According to the graphic, the asteroid is never closer to the Sun than it is to the Earth. However, it maybe the case that it is bouncing back and forth between the gravity wells. At times more influenced by Earth's gravity and at others falling more into the influence of the Sun's gravity.
Most complete info and best graphic is found two links deep at NASA:

Cause the "pollsters", can cross-tab your phone number and identity to your answers, and supply those with un-approved attributes upwards to the left's attack and destruction apparatus.
Which includes most all of the govt. Alphabet Agencies.
How do you think they targeted folks who attended Tea Party rallies, and who did nothing more than sign a petition, much less to "join" any given organization?
Best response to give to a pollster, is: NONE.

And at this point in time the EU need us a hell of a lot more than we need them.

A lot of American banks are up to their ears in Sovereign debt and Derivatives and debt swaps.
Which means they could take a bath if this goes on too long.
Banks should not be investing money in such risky schemes.

Big Data has a THICK dossier on every man, woman, and child in the country. And they use pollsters to try to stir people up. If you have an opinion they don't like, they will continually contact you with manipulative bullshit to try to sway you into -- even temporarily -- working against your values and interests.
If you answer a pollster these days with an honest opinion about an issue: "it sucks", you will get a thousand follow-up calls saying: "if you knew it was sugar-coated, could you still say it sucked?" "XXXXXXX [some useless parasitic wanker] says this is great stuff...how can you still say it sucks?" "68% of true-blue patriots ardently support this proposition -- can you turn your back on them?"
And then your ballot doesn't show up. Isn't it easier to just not answer the phone if caller ID doesn't show a known name?

These things they said have been gaining acceptance in the ensuing years. It's been interesting to watch.
Another thing they claimed was that the incidence of skin cancer rose as the use of sunscreen became more prevalent. They recommend getting 10-20 minutes of unprotected sun exposure per day and then covering up or staying in the shade. They said a moderate amount of sunshine might increase the incidence of less-dangerous skin cancer, but it decreases the chances of serious skin cancer. I suspect the vitamin D production has something to do with it.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see if the rest of the health/science community ends up endorsing that as well.
For what it's worth, I use no sunscreen except mineral powder foundation and a hat and I have no skin cancer. My husband frequently applies sunscreen and has skin cancer, especially in the areas he uses sunscreen on the most often.

I disagree, at some point, we need to make a stand.
And unfortunately, politicians follow polls. If they see the "leftist" view being amplified, they are going to cave.
All the polling said Amnesty type solutions were popular, but
everyone knew that was bullshit but it took someone like Trump to speak
up.
We need to be brave enough to tell a pollster how we feel.

The only reason to engage a pollster is as a check against voter fraud. When the pollsters weighed-in as abetting voter fraud, they were done. Now, everyone believes that voter fraud it rampant and that pollsters are evil shits -- good job, guys.

Frankly, you're being a bit obtuse. The EU requires free movement of people between member nations. That means if Mohammed M. Mohammed manages to gain admission to, e.g., Greece, he can move anywhere he likes in the EU. So what do you, as a worthless Turd Worlder, do? Try to enter the worst country in the EU, which will admit you because it doesn't give a shit, as it knows you'll move on to somewhere else (UK, France, Germany).Once the UK is out of the EU, cross the UK off that list. They can now do whatever they want vis a vis migrants.

Sure that might work for some things; like bumper stickers on cars in a work parking lot and a union.
They used to even check to see what manufacturer you bought and you could get some harsh words depending on if there was a strike there or not.
And they definitely will cause you trouble on the line.
Unions suck and union members suck too because they make it all possible.
The idea of a Union is to screw your neighbors. They get higher wages while other people in the community make to with higher prices (due to high wages) and lower wages.
And no one has ever made up what they lost in a strike. Never. Not once. It just doesn't happen. Strikes serve one purpose; to intimidate the owner and the workers and negotiations only benefit the Union management.

The EU was created for one reason, to counter what they saw as the US's power in the global economy. Even combined, the EU is still about 10% smaller in terms of GDP than the USA.
Keep in mind that the EU has a population of about 510 million compared to about 330 million for the USA.
Britain would be better off financially teaming up with the US, Canada, Australia, and Japan because that would control over 1/3 of the world's GDP.

Then they shouldn't answer the phone at all, which I assume is often the case. That doesn't explain why the people who do answer would lie, though, when simply not answering a pollster is a perfectly cromulent option. Occam's Razor would be that representative sampling often gets it wrong because it's still just an educated guess.
Let's do a straw poll here - how many of you have ever answered a pollster, either on the phone or in person? I never have and never will - I don't really have the time or inclination to be someone's data point.

Well, by fitting the demographics I mean that for political polls they usually try to get a sample that resembles the full population with respect to party affiliation, ethnicity, gender, etc. As opposed to random sampling where you basically pick names out of a hat. (Last time I took stats in college, our textbook had a really stupid random number table for sampling purposes, which I assume has been completely phased out now that you can automate psuedo-randomization)

Hi.
So, I saw the sidebar item Corey Lewandowski hired by CNN as political commentator. Starts trashing his old boss in 3... 2...
But, I found myself using the name as a cartoon exclamation, like Little Orphan Annie saying "Gollyoskies, Sandy!"
You know, like, "Lewandowski, it's hot out tonight!"
Or, "Lewandowski, does my arm hurt!"
Feel free to use it yourself as preferred.

======
The leader of the party with the most seats in the House of Commons is invited by the Monarch to form a government.
If the party has a majority of the seats, no problem.
If a party and its leader have just a plurality of the seats, they either make deals with smaller parties to vote along with their guy so they don't fail any votes on important issues that are votes of confidence (usually by supporting something the smaller party wants badly); or form an outright coalition government with one of the smaller parties so the party with its partner have an outright majority.
If the largest minority party can't make a coalition or get support from another party within a week or two of the election, then the leader of the party with the next-highest seat count in the H of C is invited to form a government instead under the same circumstances.

All the pollsters are crap, anyways. I don't feel any compulsion to pretend to play their dirty game - I'd rather that people learn (as they are learning) that they can buy themselves a Magic 8 Ball and get answers that are far more trustworthy than what they'll get out of any pollster.

I realize that Seattle is out of the way on the sports landscape, but it doesn't change the fact that I got to watch 2 of the greatest MLB players ever, in their prime; Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro.
Ichiro is an INCREDIBLE ballplayer, both offensively and defensively. The stories are legend; Lou Pinella watching Ichiro hit 5 straight pitches into left field during batting practice with almost a surgical precision and jokingly commenting, "Can't you pull anything?' and Ichiro turning to him, grinning, and hitting the next 5 pitches far over the right field fence; Mariner hitters begging Ichiro every year to get into the Home Run Derby during All-Star week so they could watch his compact self just crush the 'big hitters' and the phenomenal inside-the-park home run he hit (and ran) during another All-Star game while the guy in right field who watched the ball go where he wasn't was....Ken Griffey Jr. And Ichiro's very quirky, funny personality - his insistence on a translator even now while he speaks better English than most and the fact that he trash talks Latino players while he's on base....in Spanish!
But Ichiro simply loves baseball. That's while he is still getting it done at 41 years old. He's not about the accolades and records. I'm not angry at all that he is not going to ever be considered as the real hit king by those that matter. I get it. But I'll also know different.

Rose's record is really only impressive as a testament to his durability. He has the most games played, at-bats, and plate appearances ever - unless he's a middle infielder or an Adam Dunn type that only ever walks, strikes out or hits a HR, he *should* have the most hits.
(Okay yeah, he technically played some second base, but I mean a glove guy in the middle infield - like a Mark Belanger or an Omar Vizquel. Though Vizquel turned himself into a decent enough hitter than he almost got to 3K hits. Belanger couldn't hit water if he fell off a boat, but was so good with the glove that it didn't matter.)

Almost half of Scottish voters supported a referendum for Scottish independence from Britain.
My guess is these pro-independence voters overwhelmingly supported the Remain camp in Brexit due to it being far easier for Scotland to become an "independent" country within the EU with the United Kingdom already an EU member than to negotiate for entry into the EU after splitting from a non-EU UK. If they were thinking more strategically, they might instead have preferred Brexit in the expectation that the UK leaving the EU will lead to another, successful referendum on Scottish independence.
Those who support Scotland remaining in the UK would be much more split on Brexit than those who support Scottish independence.

The house I live in was built in 2008, and survived Hurricane Ike, though taking on 3 inches of water inside, necessitating new subfloors, lower 2 ft. of sheetrock, cabinets, and much else besides.
Last night, the kitchen sink and laundry backed up foul water, with no prior warning that something was amiss.
No amount of Liquid Plumber, or it's competitors, was making the slightest of impressions on the flow of water, or lack thereof.
So, early this morning, I'm under the house, Sawzall in hand, determined to find the offending section of pipe, and excise it.
Turned out, over 40 ft. of 2" I.D. Sched. 40 PVC, was clogged worse than Michael Moore's arteries.
I had to cut it out in sections, clean it out "bore cleaner style" with a length of 1/2" I.D. pvc, with a suitable diameter of rag wired onto the end to serve as a swab.
Started at 9 a.m., didn't get it all glued back together and water-tested till 5 p.m.
A thirty minute shower, three shampoos, scrub brush from hell, and I'll repeat that again in the morning. I'm physically wrecked, having done all of this in spite of injuries from Sept. '15 and April this year.
But the only thing that made me smile all day today, was the news of the BREXIT success.
I'm gonna take that for good omen here, in the "enough of your fucking shit" department, as regards the GOPe, and of course, any party or person of the left.
Oh, and I'm celebrating with an absolutely insane volume of bourbon. Partially to celebrate.
The other part, medicinal. A full day in a 3 ft. high crawl space, heavy Sawzall, a dozen PVC joints sanded, fitted, primed and glued.
And nearly two full gallons of the most foul, waxy, soapy and malodorous, fiberous gunk I've ever seen purged from a waste-drain, now sitting in a bucket outside, awaiting disposal. I'll keep an eye out for cars with Hillary stickers and an open driver's window.
Cheers to the Brexit, Horde.

to get fucking cute.

has no real power... all she has to do is say something and some very

She stayed out of the debate (which is proper) but she was apparently grilling dinner guests with questions like "Give me three reasons for the UK to stay in the EU."

Almost half of Scottish voters supported a referendum for Scottish independence from Britain.
My guess is these pro-independence voters overwhelmingly supported the Remain camp in Brexit due to it being far easier for Scotland to become an "independent" country within the EU with the United Kingdom already an EU member than to negotiate for entry into the EU after splitting from a non-EU UK. If they were thinking more strategically, they might instead have preferred Brexit in the expectation that the UK leaving the EU will lead to another, successful referendum on Scottish independence.
Those who support Scotland remaining in the UK would be much more split on Brexit than those who support Scottish independence.
OMG. if that is all the average Scot has going on in their mind when they vote...hell, the LIVs here just turn to dust!
I thought it was something simpler!

The point is that he'll be entering office with clear marching orders. If he goes against them, in a parliamentary system he could be out of office in a week.
Bear in mind in a parliamentary system, you don't have to be turned out by the voters. You can be turned out as PM if you lose the confidence of your own party. If the parliamentary party decides they would rather have someone else as party leader, for whatever reason, you're out on your ass.

It's only a guess on my part, though it seems persuasive and perhaps there's exit poll (or simply opinion poll) data that would confirm or refute the hypothesis that Scottish voters' positions on Brexit are strongly tied to their positions on Scottish independence.
Similarly, it seems that Northern Ireland overall voted for remain due to Catholics being much more likely than Protestants to prefer remaining in the EU with the Republic of Ireland.
And Londonistan, which just elected a soft jihadi as mayor, opted strongly for remain.
Those are the main regional differences.

Yes. You have to be an MP (Member of Parliament) and a sitting member that climbs the ranks of party membership. Citizens in those countries vote for parties in national elections. A party wins majority, or a plurality in coalition with lesser party and then party elects a "leader."
Leader becomes PM. Head of Government, but not Head of State.

I don't think there's any formal rule to that effect. Like the Supreme Court, any schmoe could theoretically become PM, but in practice only a few high-ranking party mavens have any real chance of being selected.

It's become expected. To my knowledge, they've never had a P.M. who hasn't been a member of Parliament. Now, it is expected to be a member of the House of Commons (last Lord to serve was during the 1960's, and he renounced his peerage to run in the House of Commons).

No. At this point in history, the PM realistically has to be a commoner. Someone who is ennobled goes to the House of Lords, and more or less jerks off. It's a sinecure for the has-beens (and the hereditary nobility).

The thing is, "consumption", "investment", "exports", and "imports" are discretionary -- if one's partner thinks a deal isn't "worth it", they can simply walk away.
Government expenditures, by contrast, are not always socially beneficial. Where there may be a Hoover Dam that provides power and water to the natural desert that is Los Angeles, there might also be the Federal Department of Education which seems to have been a blight upon learning from its inception.
To always assign such monetary expenditures the same value as those entered into freely, by parties seeking advantage, debases the measurement of GDP.
Further, as a corollary, it is obvious that the amount of such potential debasement increases as the amount of government expenditure increases in proportion to the rest of the economy.

No, worse than that. The Senate has some real power; the House of Lords largely acts as a brake on what it sees as the more intemperate proposals of the House of Commons. Think of it as somewhere between the Senate and the Supreme Court.

...
Canadian how his government works?
------
I didn't want to have the five-pound argument about this because I didn't feel like spending 45 minutes, (ugh!) 'thinking' this late at night and then typing about it; and I'm not trying to pick a fight with LDC so I didn't want to get into it but I'll do it now just to avoid any disharmony between morons in the ONT.
To be fair, I was discussing the UK in particular. But it looks like every British PM since 1902 has been party leader, and all have been MPs. Even if there's no official law stopping the Monarch from inviting anyone (MP or not) to form a government, that's not been the practice in modern times.
Something weird that can happen though is that sometimes a party leader might not win his own seat during the election or takes over the party as an outsider at the party's nomination convention between elections and has to win a seat before he can sit in the Commons even though he's still officially PM. (Usually by someone in a very safe seat resigning so the leader can win it in a by-election and the resigner getting a plum government position in exchange for his loss.)
Mind you, if the party leader loses his own seat in the election, often he'll resign or the party will give him the boot (especially in Australia!) even if the party wins the election although I don't know how often that's happened in the UK. (It's happened at the provincial level in Canada a few times, even quite recently.)
You can be a cabinet minister without having a seat although that's pretty rare nowadays too I'd imagine. I don't know if it's happened since WW2 in the UK. (It did happen in Canada with one of Harper's governments relatively recently. I can't recall if the minister left after the outcry, eventually won a seat, or if Harper appointed him to the Senate or similar to give it an official aura. It was pretty drunk out 10 years ago so I can't remember now.)
Great. Now I'm thinking again about weird stuff but I don't feel like playing around with "what ifs" about Cameron resigning; or the Queen announcing Cameron's lost the confidence of the House and her inviting Boris to become PM. (Woohoo!) Or a backbench revolt putting Boris in as party leader/PM as Alberta Oil Peon suggested above.
Something like a backbench revolt happened in Australia recently replacing the old PM with the now-current one although it was the liberal part of the party getting the conservative tossed unfortunately and not the other way around.

Oh, in this case I can say why, because there is zero chance anyone who knows me is reading this:
A few months ago there was a conference at the Intercontinental and a couple of us VIPs got a tour of the penthouse suite (at that time unoccupied), which the manager said was the "Presidential Suite" and was where Obama stays whenever he comes into town.
I literally was unattended there for several minutes, and could have easily installed a spy camera. Probably would have been later detected in a sweep, but hoo-boy, what a scoop that could have been if a. I had the presence of mind to install it, and b. It later went undetected.
Anyway, the suite is large, but the master bed area is kind of narrow, because of the wet bar behind it. Frankly, I've been in nicer hotel rooms. But they choose this one because no one can look down into it. And the windows are tinted.

The pound has rapidly fallen. They will suffer in the short term. I hope we can alleviate that by buying English goods - beer, cheese, jam - and whatever else you can think of.

I made the prediction about 6 months before 9/11 at a gaming company I was consulting for that the UK would tell the EU to fuck off.
It took longer than I thought but it did happen.

From it's location it appears you can see it from all over the east bay, and probably a good part of the north bay as well.

It's very simple. If Boris Johnson is currently a sitting MP, and I believe he is, then the Conservative party holds an internal vote, picks him as leader, and Bingo!, he's prime minister. If he is not a sitting member, they hold a vote, pick him as leader, and some Conservative MP in a "safe" riding resigns, Boris runs for the seat in a by-election, and takes up the reins as PM.
Not by any means uncommon in a Parliamentary system.

Austria, Denmark. How about the Czechs, or the Hungarians - or even the Poles?
The smaller, newer members to the east have been driven to the brink by the idiocy of Germany and its collaborators. There, it's a lot more than grating, ever-increasing soft dictatorship from Brussels. It's practically a threat to their very continued identity and existence.
I've kind of written off the UK (that hasn't changed, for the most part), and Europe generally, but an almost academic curiosity makes me wonder about the wildfire potential.

That's the sort of concrete thing I was wondering about. The frail/unsustainable situations of not just Greece, but Italy, Portugal, and possibly Spain always seem like they should spin out of control.
Yet endless and increasingly complex expedient measures always keep the plates spinning.
Between this, and the surreal monetary/financial situation in the US since 2009, I have long lacked confidence in assessing things that before that were elementary.

Cameron carried his parliamentary party, but he couldn't carry the country or the Tory voters, so he's out. There's a measure of accountability in that approach we don't have here.
The idea of PM Boris - whose entirely honest and accurate remark on Obama's imperial disgust for Britain was treated with positively Trumpian disgust by the press - leaves me smiling.

As for Commiefornia leaving the USA, I'd be all for it. The only complexity for the USA would be dealing with whichever hostile foreign power shortly thereafter forcibly annexed it.
A hypothetical Republic of Texas would be willing and able to defend its sovereign territory. The Republic of Commiefornia would fall to Ecuador if the Ecuadoreans were in an especially bad mood that day.

Scotland will likely vote leave. England will be better off for it. Scotland will likely turn into a colder and less pleasant version of Venezuela.
Northern Ireland has a slight Unionist majority, so I doubt they'd pull a referendum to join Ireland any time soon.

During this referendum, the lefty twats showed utter disdain for the working class. They can suck it.
Has anyone invoked the spirit of the dead MP? Or, will they finally bury her? They ordered UK flags down by polling stations but they had no problems with Jo Cox memorials at others.

By the time that Scotland could get around to formal application there might be not much more than Greece (and the rest of the PIIGs) left in the EU.
On the bright side, Scotland can probably get in with Putin as one of the new Soviet Socialist Republics. And if that fails Scotland might be able to get China to adopt them.

Yes.
But Unionists are a majority in the N. Irish Assembly. "Powersharing" is the only reason that the Catholics and Protestants aren't slaughtering each others. If such a vote goes through, and passes, the UDA, UDF, UVF, and other such paramilitary Unionist groups will start getting really, really nasty.

The lefty blogosphere is all lit up about the Scot who owns property adjacent to the Trump golf resort, who raised a Mexican flag as a thumb in the eye to The Donald.
If the Scots like Mexicans so much, a deal could be struck to send Scotland a whole lot of Mexicans. Quite quickly. Let's start with the jails in Los Angeles County.

I didnt join the suits because lawyers suck, but I stopped taking the statins.

Maet, a thousand thanks for that cholesterol/statins link. Cardiologist
wanted to put me on statins last time for elevated LDL. I flatly
refused. Feel better about that now.

There had been a report several months ago that said the same thing about statins not helping. I asked my doctor about it and he said that no "official" word had come down and not everyone agreed with it.
I note that in none of these reports have they mentioned that statins do cause elevated liver levels which can be harmful. I plan to ask my Dr once again.

How about a couple of pictures?
Here's a "between takes" shot I've never seen: how 5' 8" Humphrey Bogart appeared as tall as 5' 9" Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca:

After I flipped diabetic and had kidney stones -- I was inundate with
stuff from class action lawyers about how Lipitor causes both.

I have been taking that for ten years and never had kidney stones or diabeetus as old Wilfred says

Yeah. Those golf courses just build themselves. Condominiums? Just sprinkle some water on the ground.
No need for carpenters, electricians, plumbers, concrete finishers, ad infinitum.

How many states voted against gay marriage? And what did the Federal government do? Just one example.
And I guess the British are all "racists" now.

And once again the polls were dead wrong.
One of yesterday's commenters was dead on.
"When times are great, people vote for the status quo. When times are shitty, they vote for change."
Times are shitty.

Ingrid Bergman. A light in the darkness that is Sweden. She was denounced on the Senate floor for having an affair. Can you even imagine that happening today?

Over 30 states and the federal government did not recognize SSM.
It wasn't the federal government that made GAY marriage "the law of the land."
It was the black robes tyrants on the Supreme Court that did that by somehow finding the right to equal dignity in the 14th amendment.

Which is odd since the overwhelming majority of political bumper stickers I see are leftist slogans shouted at me while behind them like :"HATE is NOT a family value!"

What he said about the 2nd was simply that people against it don't understand it. As such, they need to actually read it.
Why the GOP primary forced everyone else, besides Trump to be perfect on every utterance, is beyond me. But that is why good people don't generally get into politics.

Watch lists weren't invented yet, I don't believe.
And the GOP isn't fighting for the rights of terrorists to buy guns.
What am I missing?
9/11 didn't involve guns.
Bin Laden was holed up in some cave in Afghanistan watching ghey pron because even a fuckweasel like Billy Jeff wouldn't let him in the country. Would've been kind of hard for him to buy an AR-15 from there.

I also think the "without any inconvenience" is suspect if OBL has to find a private American buyer, or go through a background check. Even the NRA thinks it's okay to delay the purchase of people being investigated. And OBL would definitely have been investigated, at the very least.

Now he's respectable and all with a family and I haven't seen another exposition on how to get your wingwang squeezed without spilling your drink, but he influenced my thinking and outlook so much. His wry sense of humour, his attitude, his insightful snark perfectly described the Republican but not traditional Republican mindset I had, and I had felt isolated and without a voice until I found him.
Thanks for reminding me to dust him off. =)
