Countdown Monday Tuesday Overnight Thread (1/16/17) (1/17/17)
What did you spend the day doing? The ONT hopes you were up to nothing. Really. A National Nothing Day.
Quotes of The Day
Quote I
Without tenderness, a man is uninteresting.-Marlene DietrichQuote II
Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.- Lewis B. SmedesQuote III
We are healed from suffering only by experiencing it to the full.- Marcel ProustQuote IV
We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added.- Ronald Reagan
As we celebrate Obama's last Monday in office, the damage he has done is substantial.
Entitlement programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and food stamps have gained tens of thousands of beneficiaries under the Obama administration.Will Trump and the GOP(e) ebb the flow? Time will tell.
Say good-bye to the ATF? Bill introduced to disband the ATF.
“F Troop” has long been the red-headed stepchild of federal law enforcement, passed around from Treasury, to Justice, back to Treasury, and finally back to Justice. The ATF has been routinely accused of incompetence, abusive prosecution, corruption, and has been responsible for a number of major controversies, including the Ruby Ridge siege, the Branch Davidian siege, and the smuggling of weapons to the Sinaloa drug cartel under Operation Fast and Furious and other alleged gun-running operations in other states that have never been adequately investigated.
The nation will be a better place. Goodbye Loretta Lynch, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out of office.
Do you have children attending American University? Someone does and they are wasting their money.
“If it is determined that Russian efforts did indeed put Trump over the top in an incredibly close election, then the next step would be to pass a constitutional amendment requiring a one-time special election to be held as soon as possible,” Edelson wrote.Perhaps "Professor" Edelson should review and digest tonight's Quote of The Day III.
Trump and congressional Republicans say they could use a 2006 law signed by President George W. Bush called the Secure Fence Act that mandated a minimum of 700 miles of “physical barrier” on the southern border without specifying any particular location where fencing must be built.
You to can become part Jack Bauer part MacGyver. Turn everyday items into weapons. Some of them are pretty handy if you're attacked in the kitchen.
Do you have hairy palms? Have you gone blind? Diseases caused by masturbation. In 1760 it was settled science.
The 2015 edition of Diseases Caused by Masturbation was originally titled L’Onanism. Dissertation sur les maladies produites par la masturbation. The book recounts stories from his own patients and from the patients of other renowned European doctors to support his claim that masturbation is deleterious to a person’s body and mind. Tissot also uses quotes from the ancient physicians, such as Galen and Celsus, as well as the most noted doctors of his day, such as Herman Boerhaave, to further strengthen his claim.
We've all met someone who is annoying. Have you ever met someone so annoying that citizenship was not awarded to them? Meet Nancy Holten. One bad ass annoying PIA.
Nancy Holten, 42, is a self-described animal rights activist who has campaigned against the Swiss tradition of cow bells, calling them cruel. Despite living in the country since the age of eight, and speaking fluent Swiss German, local residents vetoed her application of citizenship, saying they were “fed up” with her challenging their traditions.
These kids don't have hairy palms. Plus eating carrots in their chili has given them great eyesight. Check them out the Yahoo Group.
News tips? Loose change? Extra paper clips? Yeah, they can go here. Or here, petmorons at gmail.
Fanatic? Idiot? moron? Genius?
Exercise is good. Exercising with food product is not. Genius Award.
The Feel Good Story of The Day
Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by Duct Tape
Posted with permission by AceCorp, LLC. Don't procrastinate, The Clinton Global Initiative is having one hell of a going out of business sale. All sales final. No checks accepted. {This particular ONT was originally prepared for Monday January 16th. However, a different ONT showed up in its place. It was not a mea culpa on The ONT's part. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. }

deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new
way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our
future.- Lewis B. Smedes
---------
Excusez-moi, but this is utter claptrap and sounds like something Obama would say, if he chose to attempt to top "We are the crap we've been waiting for."
Forgiveness is something we do for ourselves. Letting go is like plugging up a sinkhole of bitterness and resentment. It doesn't change any memory of the past, it merely keeps it from distracting us from the possibilities of the future.
I could expand on this, but that's all you're getting.

For those who are interested: the new Cabelas in Gainesville, Va will open on March 9 at 9:45 am. The ribbon will be cut by shooting an arrow. (The article didn't specify if it would be a long bow or crossbow. Or something in between.)
I've ordered from Cabelas often enough but have never been in a store. I hope they will carry plenty of black powder gear and reloading tools. There are few places in the area that offer those items. I hope their merchandise lines won't be changed by the Bass Pro buyout.
In response to squeekywheel, I haven't heard anything about grants to open this Cabelas. It's possible but that kind of thing usually gets mentioned around here.

Social Security and Medicare are not entitlement programs in the sense those other programs are. You get them by virtue of age, so their growth is correlated with the number of people turning 65, and not with any policy.

Spoke with hubby this morning. She was experiencing ataxia (sp?) basically unsteady on her feet, and he was concerned might be hemorrhage. So they drove back up to Shands (U of FL), determined that it was *not* that, but increased inflammation in the brain, so upped her steroids. They go back up Thursday morning to meet with oncology team to finalize initial treatment plans.
Also: our cousin's husband is well-regarded in this field, and he and hubby spoke last night. So, she has *lots* of firepower in her corner.
Still, all Horde prayers and thoughts appreciated more than that you can know.

Re: Turn everyday items into weapons.
Here's one from my Teamster Dad who mentioned it in a story about "taking scabs off trucks during the Depression" or so it went. It came to me when he found out that I was visiting more multiculturally diverse neighborhoods than our own in search of more challenging basketball opportunities.

After years of working with Federal workers and a few years actually in the Federal workforce, I can tell you that a 90% cut would have no effect at all on the quality of services.
Actual work in an agency is performed by very few people, because most folks are truly incompetent to perform the jobs that are required of them. They are instead given busy work to keep them out of the hair of the handful of competent people, and the heavy lifting is all done by contractors.
I was a GS15 with another GS15 working for me. I ended up making him handle all of the BS memos we would get from the Pentagon.
Sadly, the same can be said for many of the military stationed in the states.

A friend of mine used to do a gag. He'd cut two round slices from the butt end of a big carrot, and use stiff wire to fashion a pair of "eyeglasses" from them. The gag was, "They told me carrots would improve my eyesight, but I can't see a damned thing."

Meh. It wasn't horrible, just mediocre. It spent way to much time on the personal life of the Mark Wahlberg character, one of the investigating Boston PD officers. His life doesn't seem relevant to the story of the bombing, at least not to me. I would have rather had more about the terrorists who carried it out, but, that would put the film makers in a pickle. They certainly wouldn't want to show the terrorists in any kind of positive light, because who wants to watch that bs? But, if they spent too much time showing their evil, well, then what about the backlash? What about the backlash?
If you get the chance to watch it for free, and you have a couple hours to kill, why not. But, I wouldn't pay for it or make it an outing or anything.

Case in point: we needed to update our software, which was literally still using 30 year old terminals to draw up reports, etc.
We took bids from several software firms, and of course took the lowest, cheapest bid, which oddly enough underbid the rest by a ridiculous amount. That along should have been a tell.
The result was a network wide installation of bloated software that literally used icons from Windows 3.x. It was so slow and buggy that a report that once took 2 minutes to enter in our ancient terminals now took 30 minutes to do on the new "cutting edge" system.
As far as I know, they are still using that clusterfuck of a software, and it has cost the local government literally millions in lost time.
I can just imagine how it must be at the federal level.

According to Genesis 38:8-10, Onan was the second of three sons of Judah. The oldest brother, Er, married a gal named Tamar, but died before they could have any children.
OT Jewish law required the next oldest brother in such circumstances to marry the brother's widow and have children by her to preserve the brother's family line and inheritance. Onan did marry Tamar, but, knowing that any children he would have with Tamar wouldn't legally be his but his brother's, "whenever he slept with his brother's wife, he spilled his seed on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. What he did was wicked in the LORD's sight, so the LORD put him to death also."
Tamar's story just gets weirder from there; read Genesis 38 in full to see what I mean. Despite it all, Judah and Tamar ended up being ancestors of King David, and through him, Jesus.

It does show that. It also spends quite a bit of time on the gun battle between the terrorists and law enforcement. I was talking more about what they were up to before they built their bombs. How did they select their targets, What support did they have from others. How was it that they were able to live on welfare, travel overseas and back, what the government knew before the bombing took place, etc.
It seemed like the Wahlberg relationship was just filler to avoid the stuff I wanted to see more about.

Has King For Life O said anything about all of this antipathy towards Trump?
At any time in this past week has he told his worshippers they need to be peaceful.
If not, is anyone from the MSM calling him out?
King for Life O could stop this, and if he does not, it "taints his legacy."
Has anyone pointed that out?
That he has the most violent deranged worshippers behind him EVER?

In first grade, there were three Tammy's. I was one of them. I ended up Tami, and then we had a Tammy and a Tammie. Made things like homework simpler. Particularly since my name is actually Tamra. Without the extra a. But nobody ever called me that. To my dad, I'm still "L'il Bear."
Probably explains why I have an Aunt Skeet, and why my sister is Squeekbird (or just Squeek), and I also have an Auntie Mim, and Uncle Bub, etc.
Just found out last year that Skeet's real name is Eleanor. What was wrong with Ellie? But that's how family rolls.

A neighbor is keeping a dog leashed outside, for up to 10 hours a day, with no doghouse or shelter other than an open air carport. In temps down into the 40's some days.
Our county law states that the dog can't be leashed where it can get into a parking area or driveway. Hers can.
Law also states that dog must have a shelter. Hers does not.
I mentioned this to the HOA, but they are ignoring open violations of the animal welfare laws and stated that they didn't think what she was doing was neglect. Told them a couple of days ago that I'd prefer if they'd handle it without me having to call the sheriff out here, but that I would if I saw the neglect continuing. Didn't get any response back after my last mail and she's still leashing the dog the same way. Today it was raining on the dog and he barked for awhile to be let inside before she finally came out and took him in.
So, you think that I should go ahead and just call them ASAP, or give them a day or two and hope they get the message through to her?

Ultimately this is not a "making a rational case" question. It is a "working the bureaucrats" question. In your position, I would take pictures until I got some that made the situation absolutely clear. Then I would email them. Then I would drop by Kinkos or wherever and print them out and send them to the same place, using the mail technique that forces someone to sign and then you get the signed receipt.
If nothing happens after that, you can write to higher ups, referencing "my letter of XX/XX, which was received on XX/XX." The trick, always, is to make it easier for them to listen than to ignore. That's an art.

Decades ago, we had a neighbor that was doing something very similar. Actually it was worse, since he was outside in the winter in Michigan. My parents called the police and reported them; not only was the dog outside all the time, it barked for hours and hours on end.
Cop went over to the house, talked to the people.
Then came ouver to my parents house and was acting very VERY strange.
Turns out that neighbor made up a bunch of lies, and the cop was under the impression my Mom was going to attack him with a kitchen knife.
That was not going to happen.
All being said, I would wait a few days. And maybe call from someone elses house. Just to be careful.

Sort of like Japanese fortification of Okinawa in 1945.
Except we won't get to use Nambus, or mortars, or mines.
A barrier worth developing would be far more robust than even the best sectors today (which effectively shut off casual crossing). And that won't require anything very historic in terms of $$$, technology, or personnel. Pretty much girls' gym, to use a classic expression now out of use.
This thing is looonngg over-due, of course, and will represent about the 108th most difficult thing the US has done since 1960 or so. All talk of difficulty, and enormous cost, and lack of efficacy, are illiterate nonsense.

And, no, the wall doesn't no have to be an invincible barrier of unimaginable proportions. As we are reminded, in what should be an embarrassing admission by our Betters, over 40% of illegal immigration is a result of visa overstays that enter by other ports.
The key is that enforcement is attended to and a commitment kept. No, a border wall is not an end in and of itself.
The empty promises of greater enforcement overall are barren and corrosive to any party or administration that claims to be protecting the US.
It's time for at least one party to stop lying.
And to the point, it's obtuse to think we couldn't come up with a barrier that would put second-thoughts to casual border-crosser's mind.

I suspect she has some sort of mental condition, which is a reason I don't want to confront her directly about it. I considered printing the rules out and highlighting them, and taping them to her door. Since there are several dozen units here, she wouldn't really know who did it.
Since she rents, the HOA actually has to contact the landlord for that unit (we all live in townhouses) and they contact her.

Neither the denominator nor numerator of that ratio are known. And both are always changing.
A serious border barrier would be 1) historically speaking very easy to create 2) highly effective 3) a concrete (heh) expression of will to enforce admission laws 4) a key element in an overall enforcement strategy 5) due to #3, a framework-changing factor for the mostly rational calculation that goes into most illegals' decisions to come or stay.
If a border barrier is not created, quickly, then all the rest is chin music. Lawlessness is a choice, a choice made by both parties, for years. A barrier doesn't guarantee return to rule of law under all circumstances - but it mitigates the damage of any slippage in that regard.
And any decision to *not* create such a barrier does, effectively, guarantee that any enforcement gainzzz are ephemeral, by signalling that (as it still seems) the country is not serious about serious things.

According to iTunes terms of service, it's basically "All your MP3's are belong to us". They will strip your hard drive of any music files and move them to the cloud, often replacing higher quality recordings that you may have with ones that have a lower sampling rate. They may also replace a special live version of a song with a studio version that they have. And if you don't like it, tough titties.
One guy even lost all his own songs that he had written and recorded himself, and the poor bastard didn't have a backup either.

"Great suggestion, but it doesn't help the leash issue, which to me is the biggest problem.
How large a dog is it, Robert?"
By the reading of the law, it's impossible for her to leash the dog anywhere behind her unit without violating at least one of the stated rules. There's simply no space. If she makes the leash short enough so the dog can't get into the driveway (or get wrapped around the posts supporting the open air garage), then it would be way too short to meet the length requirements.
It's a setter mix of some type, so around 30 to 40 pounds I'd say.

Thunk vs. thunk, no grunts or squees.
Federer vs. Noah Rubin, an American rookie who played at Wake Forest for a year or two.
Rubin is doomed, of course, but it's nice to have a simple thunk vs. thunk match once in a while.
If you ask me, they should have shot Monica Seles the first time she grunted on court. I'm talking about the ref just pulling out a pistol and shooting her dead.

Well, that's what you get for trusting Apple. I have no intention of getting iTunes, but even if I did, I doubt iTunes would find much to steal in my hard drive, because my recordings are titled and archived by program host and date, not song title. So iTunes doesn't have anything to swap in. But, anyway, moot because, never iTunes.

A neighbor is keeping a dog leashed outside, for up to 10 hours a day, with no doghouse or shelter other than an open air carport. In temps down into the 40's some days.
Our county law states that the dog can't be leashed where it can get into a parking area or driveway. Hers can.
Law also states that dog must have a shelter. Hers does not.
I mentioned this to the HOA, but they are ignoring open violations of the animal welfare laws and stated that they didn't think what she was doing was neglect. Told them a couple of days ago that I'd prefer if they'd handle it without me having to call the sheriff out here, but that I would if I saw the neglect continuing. Didn't get any response back after my last mail and she's still leashing the dog the same way. Today it was raining on the dog and he barked for awhile to be let inside before she finally came out and took him in.
So, you think that I should go ahead and just call them ASAP, or give them a day or two and hope they get the message through to her?

Whether or not her treatment of her pet violates the law is not the HOA's business. The HOA's business is whether any HOA rules are being violated. If there are rules that are being violated, bring that to the attention of the HOA.
As far as violations of the law, that is the business of the appropriate law enforcement agency. Call them if you want the law enforced.

The carport is open on 3 sides, so if there's any wind at all it may as well not have a roof at all.

No really, but the only mitigating factors I've found about raw egg hazards is that the US egg producers is that , a . we're only 2nd in commercial egg production to china, b . we wash the eggs for obvious reason, and washing cleans off a natural anti-bacterial/microbial coating, c . we manage food risk differently than other countries/nationalities.

Actually, you might be doing her a favor by going the law enforcement route. If the animal isn't being abused in a deliberate kind of way, chances are the sheriffs or animal control or whoever is just going to talk to her and give her a warning. If she doesn't piss them off and is willing to do what they say to correct the situation, that would probably be the end of it. But, if she is a renter, and her landlord gets some kind of notice from the HOA, it might turn out to be a bigger hassle. Depending on how understanding the landlord is. They usually don't appreciate hassles from the HOA.

BTW, ignore any preserved lemon recipes that call for heating or cooking of any sort. Not needed.
Wash lemons
Cut off the top (where the little stem is)
Cross-cut down, 2/3 of the way
Put a bunch of kosher salt in while prying the quarters open
Stack tightly, vertical with cut tops up, in a large jar (best, one with a lever closure)
Cover with juice squeezed from other lemons, until just covered
Leave on deck of kitchen for a week or so, then refrigerate

Interesting. I think any sensible person quickly came up with that idea when considering Iwo, a small unpopulated rock with only fanatical heavily armed soldiers on it, and *in* it thanks to impregnable fortification. Chemical weapons are rarely very appropriate for a situation, or offer any advantage, but in the case of Iwo, definitely.
A shame it wasn't done, at least as an experiment - probably would have saved lots of Marines.

Why was it considered necessary to occupy all those islands? If they were successfully blockaded, you could simply go around them, and deny the enemy the use of the troops trapped there. Or just stand off and shell the island to gravel with the 16" guns of a battleship.

Such weapons are not easy to use effectively, especially when static warfare is not the norm. Iwo presented one of the best possible scenarios for use - and even there, efficacy would have been only partial. Might have even been unique in that respect, for major WWII engagements.
But Japan probably had limited ability to make much use of such weapons against us, and was already an utterly lawless and barbaric actor, thus losing its ability to deter.
Recall that by Feb. 1945 Japan could barely resupply any point in its extended empire, thanks to the submarine war. Their ability to react/adjust to almost anything we did was approaching zero (apart from barbarism that might have been unleashed against defenseless POWs and interned civilians, which would have been par for their course).
I don't know what *our* actual chem ability was - it certainly wasn't common throughout the forces. And I don't know what Japan had either.

Use in one theater may very well have justified use elsewhere. It would have been hard to explain why we weren't using them against German resistance, but were against Japanese. Especially to families receiving letters informing them of their loved ones' deaths in Europe.
And a cultural opposition to chemical weapons is going to be hard to overcome, even if the use is justified.

I believe the horrendous Marine KIA at Iwo were matched, almost to the last digit, by the count of B-29 crewmen presumably saved through use of Iwo as a recovery field (it was roughly halfway from the Marianas to targets in Japan).
But some island campaigns are still second-guessed, particularly Peleliu, but even the second-guessing takes place within the framework Mike and Alex laid out - airfields, logistics, airfields, and more logistics.

.....
True, and anything can be done with enough money, but it's more complicated in TX, where the middle of the Rio Grande is the border. Some in TX is already built. By treaty the fence can't be built in the floodplain, so it's well north of the actual border and has to run through mostly private land. It would wash away if it were built in the river anyway. So there are condemnations that have to be done, and some landowners take them to court.
Also, all government maintained roads have to stay open, so there is gap at each road. People have to be able to get to their homes and farms, jobs, college classes, etc. on the other side of the fence.
Not saying it can't be done, but I'm saying that's why even though TX has half the border with Mexico, it has the fewest miles of border fence so far There are reasons for that. TX RGV is the busiest sector for apprehensions now too.
I was down looking at some sections of the completed fence near Brownsville last fall. It's formidable, but then there are open gaps. At least it funnels our visitors towards the gaps where there's a bit more control of the situation.

As to gaps in fences due to roads - any reason those "gaps" can't be ..... policed? No reason for a gap to be, in border security terms, a gap, really.
TX is the least straightforward sector, for the reasons you cite, but all these factors can be overcome, and need to be. Quickly. On a national, and historical, scale, all of this taken together will not rank as even a notable national undertaking. Except in its payoff.

TX is the least straightforward sector, for the reasons you cite, but all these factors can be overcome, and need to be. Quickly. On a national, and historical, scale, all of this taken together will not rank as even a notable national undertaking. Except in its payoff.
Posted by: rhomboid at January 18, 2017 01:02 AM (QDnY+)
Yes, as I said in my comment, yes anything can be done with enough money.
The existing gaps cannot be policed with current manpower, and this is just for the 115 miles of fencing that are already built. Sure hire more people but there will be hundreds of gaps in the completed 1200 miles, which also includes two reservoirs. On farms and ranches they can put in gates and give the owner the key, but a farm caretaker I knew refused to be locked into the wrong side of the fence, with a key, and with cartels moving through. He still works there, but he moved into town on the north side of the fence.
He did also say the fence keeps the local town kids from getting in there and leaving beer cans around.
As is as I said, anything can done, but there are reasons the state with the busiest sector and by far the most miles has less fencing than the other states. That reason is the river and everything that pertains to it.

But I do believe that the F-22 would end up with a few Su's painted under the cockpit edge.
No matter how nimble the Su is, it's not going to win against an opponent that it's sensors don't know is there, from beyond visual range.
That takes nothing away from it's prowess as one hell of an aerodynamic accomplishment. Truly, there are very few planes in the world that could give it a fight.

Are butt implants a thing? Because a family of Hispanic women came in while I was waiting for my car to get serviced today, and Grandma, Daughter and Daughter (but not 2-year-old Granddaughter, thank goodness) all had huge chests and butts while having smaller waists, and this was the only explanation that I could come up with.

Full disclosure - I work with a local pet rescue, but do not head up any particular section, which is good. Because I do not possess in any way, shape or form the composure to deal with people who treat their animals poorly.
Kudos to you for attempting to go through the system. I've come to the conclusion that every city/county animal officers do what they can, but to varying degrees of success.
I came upon this scenario once (and this was before I started rescue work) A school cafeteria worker could hear a cat crying in a garage across from the school. Since I was known as the 'crazy cat lady', she came and got me. We took food and water across the street at lunchtime. No one was home and the garage door was a pull-up wooden one. We opened it and out came a dirty white cat who literally inhaled the food.
The garage had a dirt floor, no water anywhere, and about 10 cat food tins licked completely clean. Neighbor had called owners on it, but they said it was their cat and they weren't going to do anything different-they had a dog in the house and didn't want the cat inside.
I was all set to go 'visit' these folks, but then I realized that the cat would not survive for much longer whilst owners played whatever game they were playing. So, that night, 'somebody' came walking through the neighborhood, heard the cat crying, opened the unsecured garage door and took the cat. That person even left the garage door slightly open. It was sort of a November miracle. Not unlike the many guns lost to the Horde through various water slippages and home burglaries.
I should feel guilty, but I absolutely do not. Yes, I did check in with the neighbor to see if she was getting harassed. She had heard nothing.
I took the cat to my vet the next day. Got a phone call an hour later saying that the cat was now stable and going to be fine. But the vet said that the cat was so dehydrated and starved that with no attention the cat would have gone into total organ failure within 24-36 hours. We found the kitty a great home.
But if your neighbors already know you have thrown attention on them, it gets dicey. You do what is comfortable. Pictures are a good idea. If you could get food to the animal without detection and see how the dog responds to it, you might have a clue. Yes, big dogs will eat lots, but you'll know the difference between a dog simply eating more and a dog eating because they're being starved.
And as a rescue volunteer, THANK YOU for taking the time to care and making inquiries.

I was away from the computer, tinkering.
CO is just a tetch lighter than air, but not so much it wouldn't readily mix. Even if the CO was not sufficient, unburned hydrocarbons, soot, and lack of O2 in the exhaust would soon render the tunnels uninhabitable.
Add some chemical smoke. That might disclose hidden portals or air vents, too.

I thought it was too long; it spent over a half-hour showing us the various victims doing their thing prior to the bombing. Almost zero about the motivation of the bombers. Of course, we had to have the obligatory warning about "Muslim backlash (tm)." Once the movie got into the battle with the bombers, that was pretty good except for the fact that the improvised devices they were using wouldn't fling cop cars around in real life.
My verdict is meh. Mrs Cop liked it.

Will ask the boss to have off Friday. Much celebration is in order.
Maybe will take Saturday, too!

Whoever it turns out to be, Trump can run against him/her in 2020.
People will remember.

Actually, I'm betting on Mumia as a last minute FU, since it seems to be an almost perfect FU.

Nuts, I forgot that detail, thanks!

Makes me sick to think about it, so you're probably right.

when did everybody get to be actors? When I was growing up women were actresses and men were actors. Is it political correctness? If so it had to be put into effect by men as I can't see men being OK with all of them called actresses.

Mumia is in prison for state crimes, and only the governor of Pa. can pardon him.

The governor of PA is a Dem. If Barky takes it into his head to pardon Mumia, do you actually think he'd have the stones to say "no?" He'd probably cower under his desk and hope Philly didn't burn to the ground.
"You can't do that" has never stopped him before, because no-one has stood up to him before. I doubt a loyal Dem apparatchik would, either.

===========================
Was Mumia convicted of federal crimes? I thought he killed a Philly cop and was convicted of state offenses.

Gem, I'm thinking of shunning people.
Like the hapless cowardly CAPT in the British Army that left the heir to the French throne of Napoleon the IIIrd to die under Zulu assegai. He was shunned by his comrades in the Army until he died. Took 6 years.

That's an excellent question. I don't know. Let's see if the web (yes, I know) has an answer:
**checks**
This article from the 2009 LA Times seems to address the problem. It appears that, in the 1970s and 80s, the old connotation of "actress" with "prostitute" was annoying English actresses, who began to fight for a (Lord help us) "gender-neutral" term:

I don't know that much about Wolf, but I doubt a pardon of Mumia would be popular with many of Pennsylvania's voters (outside of Philly). The guy stood over an injured and helpless cop and executed him with a shot to the face.
While a pardon might make Wolf more popular in Philly, it probably wouldn't do much for him in other parts of the state.
