So, Shep Smith grilled Walter Jones about his letter advising anyone with "skeletons in their closet" ("like Bob Livingston") to not seek any leadership position without disclosing such skeletons to the caucus. Earlier today, someone posting from the Department of Homeland Security edited Kevin McCarthy's Wikipedia entry to push out a rumor. I'd like to see that IP tracked down and the employee disciplined.Anyway, lot of gossip in our little Rome on the Potomac. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I'd prefer to see the DHS person crushed completely, along with its chain o' command and anyone beside it who had any possibility of knowing what the piece of shit was up to.
Not certainty of knowing, possibility of knowing. "I didn't know" as a defense should serve only to increase the crush weight. Posted by: Grimmy at October 08, 2015 06:52 PM (uUsh9) 16

Also, a big bwahahahahaha at RINO Rep Peter King's quote today saying that RINOs are "crying" in the halls when McCarthy exited. Too funny.

Define "skeleton".
Forgetting the rumors that move around like flies on cowpies in the stalls of Congress, who gets to define such things? I'm glad McCarthy's out, but we need to see an official list of that which constitutes "unsavory" or "disqualifying" before the (s)elections.

Yes. Unless we don't want anything to ever come to the House floor. The single most important role of the Speaker is to determine which legislation will even be voted on and when. A couple of other pretty important duties but that seems kind of important. Or we could just let it burn. Posted by: JackStraw at October 08, 2015 07:02 PM (/tuJf) 65

Ace has not provided me with a Hilz scratching post today. I am glad McCarthy had some sense to resign. Most were mad at him anyway. But the thinking that No One can replace Boehner is laughable. Does anyone have testosterone in DC? Come on. I understand why Ryan won't run (he is nervous type and whatever), Gowdy wants to see this Benghazi thing through to the end (but unsure why he can't do both???). Rep Jordan, however, ticks me off in not considering. The guy who I can't spell name from Utah will be ok, I guess, based on his show at previous Benghazi hearings. But Boehner has to go. I am cooking a complex meal, requiring more time in kitchen. Husband thought it was a great idea to thaw twice as much chicken than for normal meal. He is tied up in basement, bless his heart. xoxo Posted by: ChristyBlinky, aging supermodel Redneck Queen at October 08, 2015 07:05 PM (LJ4iV) Posted by: Dr Phil at October 08, 2015 07:05 PM (OiFtZ) 76

I know what you're saying. On the other hand, the House has voted 45 times to repeal Obamacare under Boehner. Never went anywhere but he at least brought it to the floor for a vote.

Her loyalty, relentless cheer and folksy locution — a news conference complement to the laconic, cigarette-tinged pronouncements of Mr. Boehner — have combined to make her one of the Republican leadership’s greatest freshman allies, and a rising star in the conference she once derided from her perch at Tea Party rallies back home. ... Mrs. Ellmers said that before she arrived here, she believed Mr. Boehner and his cohorts were not standing up to Democrats. “When I got here I realized that wasn’t the case at all,” she said. “I was told he wasn’t conservative. He is conservative. And that’s what I tell other people in our discussion.”

Boehner and his cohorts were not standing up to Democrats. "When I got here I realized that wasn't the case at all," she said. "I was told he wasn't conservative. He is conservative.

Is having an affair a disqualifier? Is getting caught having an affair a disqualifier?
What are the rules? Posted by: Bandersnatch, Team Lefty and Scamp at October 08, 2015 07:08 PM (1xUj/) Only a disqualifier if you are a Republican. If you are a Democrat, you only have to leave for a month, go to "sex addict counseling" and then , bam, you're right back in line. See Bill Clinton as the most glaring example, as he never had to go to counseling. He simply confused everyone with the meaning of the word "is". Anthony Weiner did put his time in rehab.

110 100 Aslan's, I think the Speaker is in the line of succession to the Presidency, which implies a matter of national-security that there should be one. Posted by: boulder terlit hobo at October 08, 2015 07:12 PM (aLXXe) Oh, duh! Of course. Thank you. Sorry for the brain fart, lol! Darn it, I wish we didn't have to have one... could we have a Speaker in Name Only? Fulfill the line of succession but he'd/she'd have no actual power in the House? Posted by: Aslan's Girl at October 08, 2015 07:15 PM (xetep) That wouldn't matter. The Speaker isn't required to be a natural born citizen. It would be a case like when Madeline Albright was Secretary of State. If it were to come to the pint that the line of succession gets to an ineligible office holder they would be skipped over. So no speaker would not be an issue in presidential line of succession. Posted by: Buzzion at October 08, 2015 07:27 PM (z/Ubi) 149

My husband and the JEF would get along swimmingly, in one way.
Husband would rather keep up with sports than the news. He thinks I focus "too much" on what's going on in the world. I blame the fact he was raised by rabid liberals. Thankfully, my late Daddy showed him the light. For as long as it's lasted. Posted by: Jane D'oh at October 08, 2015 07:47 PM (FsuaD) 228

Did y'all see that Harry The Cross-eyed Opossum Reid is also suing the exercise blinding band company for it interfering with his sexual thang? I had to laugh. I guess pedos aren't as attractive or he scares them. What is he, 85?
Even prior to whoever beat the crap out of him and poked his eyeball, he did not seem too, uh, sexy. I mean, even Dems would not think, "Oh, that Harry! I have a poster of him reading and never looking up at the podium!!" I have seen the guy weaving and wonky on the steps of the Capitol. Very unsteady on feets until someone grabbed him (probably the Obamacare fiasco ruling). He had fallen and had the ole black eye years ago prior to whoever beat him up last New Year's Eve.

If you look at state workman's comp laws, 50k is about what loss of one eye is worth. Still seems like a pretty paltry sum for a multimillionaire like Reed.

The American rugby match had begun, and the elbows had still not been located. Foul play suspected. Perhaps Jack was responsible.
I followed Watson's lead to the bowels of his "Head-quarters". He warned me to stay on my guard. A short and hirsuite gorilloid was said to run the place - a creature known only as The Ewok. I opened the door, and immediately noted a black and evil cylinder in the corner - in a glowing eldritch hand were carved the letters 'T H E B A R R E L'. If not for my daily doses of medicinal coca-powder, I should have been undone by the stench therefrom. Notwithstanding I soldiered on, and approached the bar.

Kill everyone who doesn't have a bicycle, make sure only the central committee and cronies can afford cars.

I'm partial to the stuff grown in the Dominican Republic but the best way to find one is to go to a cigar shop and talk to them. Generally speaking anything with a Cameroon wrapper (it will be light brown) is milder than something with a dark brown or coffee colored wrapper. If you see something that looks like crystallized pitch on the wrapper don't fret. Whatever you get should be pliable and smell fresh. Avoid cigars that have brittle wrappers. When you cut it use a hole punch and not a guillotine cutter and have the end 'frosted' so it burns evenly. And dip the end your smoking from In a good port or if all else fails, a Coke. It will take the nicotine sting on your rookie lips. Enjoy!! And let us know what you find.

My take: A network of a select few in bureaucracy are taking over, and no longer serving citizens, just those in power. Information flow is being modified by select US Government agencies to suit the whims of those in power, esp. ValJar (our Acting President),Pbho, Bureau of Labor, NOAA, and EPA. I will put cash money on this being only the most obvious of information editing.
There will be no internal discipline at any Federal agency on this edit, or other edits. Wikipedia will be supine. It sure would be nice if a DOD agency with the ability to collect metadata could display who is in this network. Alas. Posted by: NaCly Dog at October 08, 2015 08:50 PM (u82oZ) 407

So ... the Renee Elmers wikipedia edits came from a Homeland Security IP ...
How fucking stupid are these people? it doesn't even rise to the level of "pathetic". Reason #24,983 why DHS needs to be disbanded and domestic security returned to the old agencies - not that the people there are any smarter, but DHS is an offense to the Constitution, especially as they tool around in their fake cop cars with "police" written on them. There is no federal police force and there never should be. And anyone who writes "police" on a federal vehicle needs to be ... you know.

The difference is that those "police" don't ride around in any city they choose and act as if they're local police or have any responsibilities like local police. They are forces restricted to very limited jurisdictions - and they are federal jurisdictions. The DHS "police" like to make pretend that they are a national police force, and that is something that is totally unacceptable.

"Longer video from a different angle at SacBee one of the cockroaches
stabs Spencer Stone from BEHIND while he's fighting two other guys." If they were in fact Asian as some early reports suggested, this is entirely consistent with my guess of Hmong. They have no conception of chivalry in fighting. Also, if they were Hmong, no one from their community will roll over and drop a dime on them. The "snitches get stitches" ghetto ethos was part of their culture even before they were imported to the States. Someone speculated about Chinese triads earlier. I really don't think so. Those guys will fuck you up horribly if you don't pay them protection money, but they won't do it over a fight over a girl at a bar. Not enough margin in the trade.

When my dad was a kid, there were LOTS of cigar brands around. In fact, I don't think that manufactured cigarettes were even available.
Anyhow, as a kid he collected cigar bands. I still have his note pads which are filled with bands pasted on the pages. Pretty neat. Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at October 08, 2015 09:31 PM (9mTYi) 560

Going by strict definitions, there's a good case to make that Pluto should be classified as a chair. You can sit on it. It doesn't have arms, so it might later be reclassified as a stool .. but, as things stand now, Pluto is officially changed to being considered a "chair".

Is there any political constituency for government workers? I mean that there are a lot of them and they are largely concentrated in the DC area but that is maybe a half dozen Congressmen at most.
On the other hand, pretty much every government job that does not require carrying a gun as its primary function could be done by private companies that would not only lobby Congressmen to get the business but also would also make elaborate promises to move jobs out of DC and out to the Congressmen's districts. When different Congressmen become powerful, the jobs will move from district to district. With millions of government workers making 178% of private sector workers, there is a lot of room for private companies to make high profits while paying above average wages to a smaller number of workers in strategic Congressional districts while stuffing the pockets of Congressmen with perfectly legal graft. I really wonder why we don't do this already. Posted by: Obnoxious A-Hole at October 08, 2015 10:10 PM (QHgTq) 720

Pluto *is* a planet. Some jangenheimer just *had* to get their name in a journal so much it hurt, so they invented a new category and started a nerdfight.
It was a planet a million years ago, it will be a planet a million years from now, no matter what qualifiers you stick on it.

"362 Hey Crotchety,
What is a good cigar for someone looking to try them out? I've never smoked anything at all, mind you. Posted by: typo dynamofo at October 08, 2015 08:38 PM (i7JE3)" Not just dollar for dollar, but in absolute terms, I believe that these are some of the finest cigars on the planet. http://www.elcubanocigars.com Manny Lopez, Jr., Owner. The factory is in Texas City, TX, but the rollers are all from Cuba, and all of the leaf is Cuban Seed, but grown in various Caribbean and Central American countries. Mostly, those to which expatriate Cubans fled to escape the evil Castro Brothers. I highly recommend the 6.5 in x 54 ring-gauge Red Label, which is a Nicaraguan Puro, rolled in the Torpedo shape. Order it in the Maduro, not the lighter Shade wrapper. Contrary to expectation, the darker leafs are usually MILDER than the lighter colored leaf. And while most cigar nomenclature is well known and commonly understood, there is one area which is still a point of confusion for many, and that is the word(s) "Strength", or "Strong". There are two manifestations of the term. The first, is flavor. A cigar strong in FLAVOR will have VERY pronounced characteristics on the palate, sometimes pleasant, often times not. But, it won't be a wussy smoke like a Swisher, or even a Macanudo (very well known for being so mild as to be smoking air itself) The second (mis)use of the term "Strength" has to do with the nicotine content of the cigar. For example, the El Cubano Blue Label, in the very innocuous looking Shade Wrapper, is a mild TASTING cigar. But it has a massive nicotine punch, will turn you green, and put an inexperienced smoker into a dizzily collapsed puddle on the floor, in no time flat. The new smoker should ask about NICOTINE strength, and avoid those labels and blends known to be power-house stogies. For example, Ghurka's are NOT for beginners. Flavor-wise, the Dominican Partigas is known to be a very spicy, peppery FLAVOR, but only medium on the nicotine. ASK YOUR TOBACCANIST, to be sure! And to Typo Damifino. Write me at my nic. I'll send you an El Cubano, gratis. You might as well start with the very best. I've enjoyed fine cigars from Australia to Scotland and everywhere in between. The only Cuban better than these is the Trinidad. Good luck finding one of those that's not a counterfeit! Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at October 08, 2015 10:23 PM (McRlu) 757

Mike H., this situation arises frequently here (in the comments). Your friend - on this issue at least - is an idiot (like most people I know, and my entire family). And he (and they) bear/s responsibility for making health "insurance" unaffordable for me for the first time in my life (rates tripled over-night when this idiocy kicked in .... well, when PART of it kicked in, the part that hadn't been delayed/modified by the newly discovered constitutional mechanisms of emails, press conferences, and phone calls). Every situation is different. Did you even educate him about the "collar" on insurance companies profits/losses? And the panel of judges (East German judge dissenting) cannot even credit your friend for his accidental semi-correct notion that calling it "Obamacare" is misleading. True, the "ideas" in it had been around for decades, and true, the president apparently didn't even understand the rudiments of actual insurance (SCOTUS joins him in this abysmal ignorance), and simply signed anything they sent to him. So as with almost all else, he just happened to be there, he didn't author or inspire or even influence almost any of it. And we'll just leave aside that it is unworkable, hilariously unconstitutional, and to the extent it "works" serves only to further distort and damage the citizenry, who have been suffering for several decades under an increasingly dysfunctional system morphing from regulation-driven oligopoly to quasi-"public" disaster.

Pluto *is* a planet. Some jangenheimer just *had* to get their name in a journal so much it hurt, so they invented a new category and started a nerdfight. It was a planet a million years ago, it will be a planet a million years from now, no matter what qualifiers you stick on it. The whole nerdfight was over people misleadingly insisting it wasn't a planet anymore. That's like saying gas planets aren't really planets because there's a "gas" in front of the name.

It's not a thing or an idea, per se. Mathematics is a body of ideas that encompasses Calculus, whose principles are discovered, and methods for representing them and computing them are developed.

Ah, the old question, is math universal? I think the consensus is that at some abstract level, it is, however the particular system used to express it is not.
Thus there is the belief that truly different alien species, would know and use "math" in that abstract sense, but it might be utterly different that anything we know. Questions like this can drive you crazy. For example, is math physically real? Or better way to phrase it, is is objectively real. Well, at one level, no, it exists only in our minds, but there is nonetheless a reality to it. Our minds are a product of the universe, and math is a product of our minds. Thus math is a product of the universe. Same thing with other concepts like love and beauty. All in our minds. But is there any objective reality to them?

From a news site:
Thomas Stredwick, a utility spokesperson, said an unspecified number of the injured were airlifted to area hospitals. The rest were taken by ground transport. The extent of their injuries was not immediately known. It likely will be several days before officials establish the official cause of the blast, Stredwick said, but "at this point we know it's not foul play or an act of terrorism." "It's likely a piece of electrical equipment that has malfunctioned," he told The Oregonian/OregonLive on Thursday evening. The blast did not compromise the structural integrity of the dam, which is more than 50 miles east of Yakima, Stredwick said.

It's not that Obama had nothing to do with O-care - there were tactical bribes, Cornhusker Kickback, Louisiana Purchase, etc. - and some tweaks here and there. But Congress was in charge (again, this monster had beenaround in essentially the same form for decades), and Obama would have signed anything put on his desk that Pelosi and Reid certified as acceptable. This thing had no stamp of authorship or influence from this president, no matter how many times Izvestiya calls it his "signature accomplishment". Beyond futile and irrelevant, but I still bristle when this ridiculous figure in the WH is credited with any kind of political skills or accomplishments beyond pushing on open doors created by a "press" that merely shapes public ignorance and a Congress mostly reduced to mere agents of various rent-seeking interests.

Posted by: chemjeff - go royals at October 08, 2015 10:57 PM (uZNvH) It's not something particular to calculus. All mathematics is the science of perfection and we never see any sort of perfection in the real universe. No mathematical objects have ever been shown to actually exist. NONE. Not even the lowly whole numbers. We have never observed any truly independent systems. The only such system that we think exists is the universe, itself, which would represent the only closed system ever "known" ... but even that is looking shaky in conventional physics. No mathematical models are perfectly in line with physical reality. That much is what all of our history has taught us. But the idea of discrete objects is just as problematic in the physcial universe as the idea of continuous objects. Both of those notions are mathematical and fail to model reality any time they are used. They are both good approximations for different phenomena, but never anything more than approximations.

one plus one equals two, huh? What is "one", what is "two"? What is "plus", this addition operation of elementary arthrimetic you're talking about?
To a young child's mind, you have to start somewhere, and these concepts are just thrown out and rules are taught. But, believe me, when you actually get down to trying to define these concepts, it get's quite complicated. Show me a real world, physical example of this "addition" business. You'll say something like, well I take this rock here, then bring in another rock, now I have two rocks. Big fucking deal. You didn't do anything but move two preexisting rocks around. *In your mind* you came up with this concept of grouping things together.

I too, hope for some humiliation in OR tomorrow, but recognize 1) it's very unlikely, since regular people such as those in Roseburg are much classier than the idiots who now run the country and dominate the culture, and 2) any untoward incidents will be largely suppressed in the "press". And as I have said, while conventional wisdom was to hope earnestly for actual Dem/fascist offensives on "gun control", so as to reap the political benefits as backlash took a toll on the Dems,these days I'm not so sure. PA, VA, CO, FL, NV - places the Dems will be very careful. CA, NY, NJ, CT, etc. - places where they won't, don't need to be, and where the collapsed "judicial" system gives them free rein (McDonald and Heller have not and probably will not have any effect in these places).

Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at October 08, 2015 11:18 PM (dvuhZ) And, when one thinks about it, there is really no reason, at all, why math would end up being the descriptive language of physical reality. The idea that counting head of cattle using your fingers would be the same system that eventually describes the complex patterns of orbits or the quantum probability distributions of a quantum system is, itself, a rather insane notion. Without seeing it work, no one would ever believe that such a thing could be true. And there are tons of other examples of mathematics derived from totally unrelated researches that ends up being applied and seeming to work better than anything else anyone can even imagine. Wigner wrote about this sort of thing in The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences. Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at October 08, 2015 11:24 PM (zc3Db) 1020

Posted by: ThunderB at October 08, 2015 11:20 PM (zOTsN) In California, it almost certainly means Chinese, Japanese or Southeast Asian. The Wild Guess community says Hmong, largely because they have a bit of an edge on the others in the Sacramento area (well, a lot of an edge on some). It's probably Hmong, or Chinese (and homegrown, less likely Triad), or Korean. OR Mexicans who can pass as Chinese (used to happen a lot in movies). Or maybe aliens with wigs.

1019. Yep. There are many examples of abstract mathematics that was "discovered/invented" that had no practical use whatsoever, then decades or centuries later, found to be just the ticket for some new physics discovered.
Differential geometry is an example. Totally abstract, and then Einstein discovered General Relativity, and it was just the ticket for that. And above you were talking about the discrete nature of reallity. That's quantum field theory. That has still not been unified with General Relativity, and it doesn't like it will be anytime soon. Spacetime is thus still a continuous, classical thing. They all think, sure it must quantum/discrete at the smallest level, but that theory has yet to be discovered. There's spacetime and then the "stuff in it". Quantum Field theory rules the latter, the stuff in it, and GR rules the former. Never the twain may meet, which is sort of disconcerting.

My understanding is that someone in DHS edited Ellmers' entry to add a cite to GotNews.com to information someone else had already put in there about her affair with McCarthy. Face it, this was almost certainly some low level employee (on his lunch break, maybe) not a black helicopter job. For one thing, adding GotNews as a source is more likely to trigger the deletion of the info than to have any other effect, given most Wikipedians' hostility to right-wing sourcing. And revealing the ip shows the person had no clue -- just register and no one sees the ip. Or spoof it. And it's such an ineffective way to get the info out.... not even McCarthy's own article. Tempest in a teapot.
