17 I don't care about VW's cheating apart from the fact that it put off exposing the fact that the government's standards are so unrealistic. Well, unrealistic in the sense you can't manufacture a purely fuel-powered automobile that will pass the test without making it an under-powered piece of crap that no one wants.

It's how you feel after you take the pretty girl out, she orders the most expensive things in the whole joint, says she wants to just be friends then hooks back up with her drug-dealer ex-boyfriend.

Mike and Mike were talking the other day that if the Cubs win the World Series, Theo Epstein should go into the HOF. How awesome would you feel if you're the guy that helped the Sox end their 86 year drought, then leave and do the same thing with the Cubs. As a Sox fan myself, I'm rooting for the Cubs.

57 Here's what registers with the VW thingy: Federal government sure likes its ginormous fines. What exactly are they planning on doing with those billions they extract from VW, given that they won't be passing it on the VW owners to assist in whatever engine modifications can be done.
Also, how will VW make back those billions? From future VW owners, I assume....

65 I recently rewatched an old uk show called Christobel. Made in 1987 and written by Dennis Potter. It starred a very young Elisabeth Hurley and Stannis, the King of the North who is also the real life father of the druggy in FTWD. Small world.

Anyway, it is about this brit posh who marries a kraut aristocrat before WW2. He's involved in the plot to kill Hitler. True story.

That seems to be about how the gun control Nazis tally the statistics. If it happened at a school, school shooting. If it happened at a school in the middle of the night, school shooting. Near a school, same thing. If the shooter went to school, school shooting. If the victim went to school, school shooting. Stray bullet passes a school, school shooting. Shooting takes place in a city with a school, school shooting. If the shooter or victim ever attended school, it's a school shooting.

Their numbers are ALWAYS suspect.

Their old favorite about the # of children shot by guns is larded up by including any person killed by a gun up to age 21, so it then includes all the gang-related deaths --- except they use that stat to give the appearance that it's all about lil' toddlers finding dad's gun and accidentally shooting himself or someone else.

Kinda hard for Israel to be any more of a target than they already are.

Worse, if the Russians are really interested in limiting oil supplies (and they are) it's in their interests to see to it the Golan reserves never come to market.

I was the victim of a school shooting in South Korea.



A saw a young boy fidgeting in my English class, walked over and he had a pellet gun. My first thought "Cool gun" because it was - no bright colors or anything. My second thought "Wow, could you imagine a kid bringing something like that to school in Canada or the States? Good for them. I'm liking South Korea more and more."



After the kid showed it to me, I told him to put it away.



Not five minutes later, I felt a sharp stinging in my left upper thigh and it took me 3 seconds to piece everything together.



That was also the day I learned that principals and Korean teachers can also use physical discipline.

The only way driverless cars work is if everyone is driving them, since the cars have programmed rules and humans make decisions based on the current traffic and street conditions (traffic lights/multiple lanes/bike lane, etc.).

For example, driverless cars do not make a right on red. Ever. They are programmed to only go when it is a green light. Just think about how a handlfull of driverless cars could mess up rush hour traffic with that one rule...

Chirac, not from a background where Biblical apocalypticism had been a feature, blinked in confusion, and nodded, and let the subject pass. Later, upon Chirac's return home, a French professor of religion found himself bombarded with official inquiries from the Elysee: what exactly are "Gog and Magog", s'il vous plait?

Either one will be problematic.

There will have to be sensors embedded in the road and/or in the verge for these things to work well.

And if there's sensors there, they can be used to monitor traffic as in who's driving what, when and where.

191 "Supposedly, Karl Rove was 'the architect' of 'compassionate
conservatism' which implied that conventional conservatism lacked
compassion, which is total bullshit. The truth about Karl Rove is that he is really 'the architect' of the ruin of the Republican Party as a conservative party."

Rove also had a lot to do with Bush's loopy idea that he, Bush, had somehow "redefined the [Republican] party" away from traditional conservatism.

That was the era when Bush was doing stuff like reauthorizing LBJ's Voting Rights Act, and ordering aides to "take all that crap out" of his speeches to CPAC, the "crap" being anything which mentioned the, y'know, actual conservative movement.

We saw how well that redefinition by Bush and Rove worked, in 2006 and 2008.

I will always remember Turd Blossom giving an interview on the just about literal eve of the 2006 elections, loudly insisting like Chip Diller in _Animal House_ that the base should "Remain calm! All is well!", right before the GOP got an absolutely epic shellacking at the polls.

They would be programmed to stop properly, so people can queue to enter, and they will say the stop names clearly, without garbling. I would be happy for Metro to be driverless. It's already running at a severe loss, and is looking to up the price of rides (which are ridiculous right now) so this would be a win-win, for cost cutting and improved service.

268 "The night was sultry."

Not when one is paid by the word. You have to be descriptive and fill your audience with images.

You don't just say, "The house was infested with mice."

No, you have to create an image that remains embedded.

The ramshackled wreck of an old ruined dwelling was infested by mice who left their tiny little fecal pellets as markers of where they had been and where it was safe to return. Tiny little pellets left in the carpet where they were slowly ground to dust. Dust that would be inhaled deep into the lungs of the old people who lived there in those squalid conditions. Dust that spread the hantavirus which causes a pulmonary condition of lingering painful death causing the ruined dwelling to be declared a hazardous biological site requiring clean up by workers in protective isolation gear; an expensive cleanup supervised by uncaring government bureaucrats whose only interest was making news and achieving their next promotion.

See?

You don't just say the dwelling was condemned by health inspectors and the fire department burned it to the ground. Where is the fun in that?

Nope, don't buy it.

1- Random robberies do not normally end in stabbing the victim 4 times in the chest.

It's possible he fought back instead of just giving the mugger what he wanted, but even so you don't normally get "4 times in the chest" from that.

2- Robbers normally attack people who appear to be victims (behavior analysis), and I doubt that this dude fit the normal profile.

3- There's already been another attack linked to one of the other people who stopped that train gunman.

So I'm defaulting to "targeted attack" until there's solid information otherwise.

Posted by: donna at October 08, 2015 11:31 AM (hUdMz)



Nope, don't buy it.



1- Random robberies do not normally end in stabbing the victim 4 times in the chest.



It's possible he fought back instead of just giving the mugger what
he wanted, but even so you don't normally get "4 times in the chest"
from that.



2- Robbers normally attack people who appear to be victims (behavior
analysis), and I doubt that this dude fit the normal profile.



3- There's already been another attack linked to one of the other people who stopped that train gunman.



So I'm defaulting to "targeted attack" until there's solid information otherwise.

426 A technology subcontractor that has worked on Hillary Rodham Clinton's e-mail setup expressed concerns over the summer that the system was inadequately protected and vulnerable to hackers, a company official said Wednesday.

But the concerns were rebuffed by the company managing the Clinton account, Platte River Networks, which said it had been instructed by the FBI not to make changes. The FBI has been reviewing the security of the e-mail system.

The subcontractor, Datto, which specializes in backing up data, had not been aware that it was handling Clinton e-mails until media reports in August noted Platte River Networks' involvement with the controversy surrounding the former secretary of state's e-mails.

Datto officials, worried about the "sensitive high profile nature of the data," then recommended upgrading security by adding sophisticated encryption technology to its backup systems, said the Datto official, who requested anonymity to discuss an issue involving a client.

The Datto official said there is no evidence the company's systems had been attacked. Clinton has come under fire for using a private e-mail address during her time as secretary of state. The e-mails are being screened and released in batches. Here are some things we've learned from them.

A Platte River Networks spokesman acknowledged receiving upgrade requests from Datto.

"It's not that we ignored them, but the FBI had told us not to change or adjust anything," the spokesman, Andy Boian, said. Boian said, however, the company did not take Datto's concerns to the FBI.

An FBI spokeswoman declined to comment.


... so, how far back, before they seized the email server, were the FBI involved with the email server ?

What's odd is the insistence on repeatedly using the term "hatred", which carries the connotation of wishing ill on someone or delighting in someone's misfortune.

The Left is well aware of this connotation and is constantly using it as a weapon in their rhetorical toolbox against those who disagree with them. You'd think she'd shy away from this term and say perhaps that she had an instinctive dislike babies, although she does not wish them ill.

But of course this is a cowardly way talking out of both sides of her mouth. She'd be "happy for her friends" if they had babies, but she still gets to express malevolence towards them. What if David Duke claimed he would do blacks no harm but he had a visceral hatred of them? Of course the media would see through that nonsense and wouldn't give him a pass on it.

512 >>What's odd is the insistence on repeatedly using the term "hatred", which carries the connotation of wishing ill on someone or delighting in someone's misfortune.

Seems like a feminist badge of honor - admitting you hate babies, because what she really hates is the burden that women have of bearing children. Honestly, get your hate on, I don't care --- but don't then work for a parenting site.

About as brave as saying you hate Bush 2000-2008.

609 Breaking: McCarthy spox attributes withdrawal current gun control controversy. Says that withdrawal is due to an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound to the foot.

McCarthy will presumably join the call for greater gun control for stupid people.

He is in stable condition.

Stabbed by who? A goatfucker? If so, it may well be that the Roseburg school shooting is also an ISIS revenge attack? Does anyone think that ISIS would be above cultivating known nutbars and inducing them to commit atrocities?

612 Regarding the "...Admire Putin" article. While I like most of it, I'm tired of hearing people say that what Putin is doing is not in his or Russia's best interest. It doesn't matter whether we think it is their best interest or not. What matters is that Putin is acting on what he thinks are his best interests in a rational manner. Even conservatives/GOPe types are infected with this "everyone wants the same things" mental blind spot.

613 Probably the minutes have placed bounties or fatwas or whatever on the heads of the train heroes.

614 It was in a bar area. Towel Heads don't drink, so if one was down there he was stalking Stone.

Of course they drink. They aren't supposed to, but they do. And if they are embarking on an act of jihad, they get a special dispensation to drink and fornicate.
