WASHINGTON, D.C. — Kara Dansky, a feminist lawyer and spokeswoman for Women's Liberation Front (WoLF), spoke against the so-called "Equality Act" at the Heritage Foundation on Monday, denouncing the transgender and gender identity movement as anti-women and anti-lesbian in particular. Her remarks echoed the London Pride March sign declaring that "Transactivism Erases Lesbians." "This is a men's rights movement — this is really a men's rights movement," Dansky declared, calling for men to stand up for women and denounce the transgender movement. Too good to be true?

After a few months, the campus was crawling with turtles and the company had to bring in some outfit that could collect them all and relocate them - then immediately introduced a "no more turtles on campus" policy.

We believe we will offer in a years time a complete cure for cancer said Dan Aridor of a new treatment being developed by his company Accelerated Evolution Biotechnologies Ltd.
Normal progression for an idea: 1. bar conversation, 2. back of a napkin, 3) PowerPoint, 4) development and testing, 5. work out problems, 6) possible success. They sound like they might be halfway through step 2. Given some of the lack of details they offer and the lack of publications cited, they may have moved straight to the fund-raising step. I'll hope that they are the isolated case of sanity and under-promising for cancer cures. I'd even bet my life on it (via a clinical trial), but I don't expect to get the opportunity.

The Dems and power class have finally finished their migration to the "Left Pole." Like the North Pole - where *any* other direction is "south" - to those on the Left Pole, any deviation is "Nazism." They're going full retard. They have driven my mother from soft liberal to pretty conservative overall. They're alienating the center hard, and I think they might be overplaying their hands. Is all lost? Maybe. If we can throw the bastards out in 2020 and reduce them to a provincial party for lunatics, then maybe we can make progress.

Vast medical, financial and scientific apparatus are arrayed in the mission of saving children. On the other side, a vast political apparatus is arrayed in the mission of murdering them. This is irreconcilable. A contradiction cannot stand forever - it will destroy itself. One of these two things is going to be seriously curtailed. I think if socialized medicine is enacted, then the former will disappear. If medical care - even with how desperately flawed and insane our system is - remains private, I think the pendulum is going to swing the other way on abortion. Neither will likely disappear completely, but our current "contradictory extremes" situation will not last. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at January 30, 2019 10:25 PM (niawK) 167

Sad about the GoFundMe decision, but I will abide. It is, after all, Ace's house and we must all respect this. I have gotten so much knowledge from Ace and Company that it would be churlish to do otherwise.
I'd like to say, though, that I survived January entirely because of you folks. As I've said to the point of tediousness, you folks are the best people on the planet, bar none. I feel closer to you guys than I do to anyone actually connected to me, which, to be honest, is praising with faint damns. You are my family, and I mean that in the sense that I will not crash on your couch. I will pet your cats or dogs, though. Moving forward, well, maybe I can sell some paintings! Or, maybe I can flap my arms and fly to the Moon. Both are equally likely! I love each and every one of you. BeckoningChasm Posted by: BeckoningChasm at January 30, 2019 10:26 PM (l9m7l) 172

People keep talking about Venezuela as Socialism Failed. This could not be further from the truth. Venezuela ceased being Socialist in June of 2014. That was when the price of oil went below $90 a barrel and Venezuela began to run out of other people's money. At that time, owing to the Transitive law of Leftist History, Venezuelan Socialism was doomed and therefore it ceased to be Socialist. It transitioned into some state other than Socialism, which cannot fail, into something failed that can be blamed on some American Conservative. In this case, Donald Trump.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 30, 2019 10:27 PM (nPGq2) It actually is missing everything that would make it sound like solid science. Like mentioning that it would require DNA sequencing of the individual cancer in order to design the treatment for the patient. Or that cancer is heterogeneous and mutates rapidly (they kinda admit that) and that current treatments are somewhat ineffective because only part of the cancer is killed, but some mutates to evade the treatment and comes roaring back. Thus, likely repeated treatments, each requiring a separate DNA sequencing of the growing tumor cells. They do admit that they don't actually know how to design their treatment to attack the tumor cells (that's part of this years work), but that is well hidden by the PR-speak of the announcement. Plus, the research doctors I deal with at NIH don't seem to know much about it, meaning it apparently hasn't been presented at the major conferences yet.

The stupid thing is by RvW logic the Federal Government has a compelling state interest in outlawing abortion. The only way to keep Social Security viable is to increase the number of births and get the worker/retiree ratio up to 3 or 4. That can only be achieved by adding in the additional 500,000 live births that abortion currently takes.

Traditionally the RCC doesn't excommunicated people for suggesting/supporting things - except for in one area
Canon law automatically excommunicates anyone that commits an abortion...but since the RCC doesn't actually *do* anything with those excommunications - you can still go to church and errr....take communion - it isn't really effective. Now what is the area that the RCC does excommunicate people regularly for their publicly stated views? Making claims about Catholic beliefs that are in disagreement with Catholic theology. Now in this latter case I think when someone like Nazi Pelosi call abortion a sacrament she is committing this sort of offense. But the current RCC is hopelessly corrupt starting with the anti-Pope at the top of the hierarchy. Posted by: 18-1 at January 30, 2019 10:50 PM (cRkMZ) 277

Oops. Forgot it was 2019. Damn.
Anyway, we'll get kicked. Too many who know better think Republicans are just icky. Abortion is a key to their attitude. WHEN they think about it, they don't like it. So the answer is, don't think about it. Only creepy people do that. On the one bright side, I know a formerly Republican couple who are now all Never Trump.

Posted by: Average Guy at January 30, 2019 11:05 PM (LMcFk) Quite the opposite is true. Those harpies shrieking about it? They have either had abortions, or will never procreate. Not a one of them is balanced, mentally. People do stupid things when they are young. They regret them, sometimes right away, sometimes after a few years, but how they process that regret varies. In the case of abortion, those who cannot square the circle either go a bit off the deep end with remorse and need serious mental care, or they become shrieking harpies beating the stuffing out of anyone who dares to question their morality for killing their child/ren.

Take the vehicle to Autozone if the simple fixes don't work -- they'll do an engine diagnostic for free, and give you the print-out from the code reader!
I have done this. The failing part turned out to be a sensor you could actually see by simply opening the hood, and could replace with a screwdriver. So Autozone got to sell me a sensor. They know what they're doing with this service. Posted by: mikeski at January 30, 2019 11:49 PM (P1f+c) 421

This is what I'm hoping. The light was on all throughout my commute and nothing seemed amiss so I'll reseal the gas tank lid in the morning and see if the light goes away if it warms up. Wish me luck 'cause I can't afford a new car.

...Lots of sail boating in Ireland?
IrishEi was right. That's Fastnet Rock on the southern coast of Ireland. The Fastnet Race is one of the most famous offshore sailboat races in the world. That's what the picture is all about. Posted by: JackStraw at January 30, 2019 11:44 PM (/tuJf) The Albin-Vega 27 ft. sloop, made in Sweeden, is one of the most successful North Sea racing / cruising boats in it's class. A great many of them have made Trans Atlantic crossings, in either direction. Not *quite* standing headroom for me belowdecks, but a serviceable, traditional layout for a boat it's size. Built like a tank, it's made to endure truly frightening seas. Frankly, those Baltic and North Sea races, and the sailors that race 'em, are more nuts that I want to sail with. I'm more of a "toss out the parachute anchor and ride it out" kind of CRUISING sailor... those guys though? "Damn the Breaking Pyramid Waves, and hank-on more sail!" Watching what they can do with a boat though, is pure magic. It's like watching a top PGA golfer at his career-peak, just doing things that defy physics with the helm, main and jib. Sail with one of those guys sometime. If you dare. You're gonna get wet, and that's a promise. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at January 30, 2019 11:52 PM (QzJWU) 427

The "Check Engine" light means the onboard computer has detected some fault. Said fault could be any number of things. In can range from something innocuous to something that needs attention. It's a simple matter to figure it out. You plug a code reader/analyzer into the OBDII port and read out what the trouble code is.

What's amazing to me is the performance data you can extract (simple readers won't do this -- I've got one that does, but not on all models). The thing can note the occasional misfire and identify what cylinder and keeps a count. If count per some period exceeds a certain value, it will trip the idiot light. I got to looking at that data on my old '04 Crown Vic. I got rid of it a while back, but IIRC, the #7 cyl was misfiring ever so often.

My check engine light came on last May. I took the car to the dealer where I bought it. After keeping it for a few days {they gave me a loaner car), they replaced a sensor in the fuel tank, and the price was about $100.
Right after Christmas the check engine light came on again. After keeping it for a week, they informed me that the same sensor failed, and it was under warranty so there was no charge this time. That dealer has treated me pretty well. Posted by: rickl at January 31, 2019 12:21 AM (sdi6R) 464

And there is often also a vent hose circa 1/2" in diameter to vent air out to the filler neck as the tank is being filled. A loose clamp or deterioration of either of those hoses will result in a fuel smell after a fill, as will a failed gasket where the fuel level sending unit (which now often contains the in-tank electric fuel pump) mounts to the tank.

Posted by: Zettai Roshia-no Botto at January 31, 2019 12:31 AM (CLcKT) Nice work, as long as you did a good job of splicing. Sounds like the part that failed was the resistor network that gives you the lower fan speeds. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 31, 2019 12:38 AM (nPGq2) 489
I just semi-inherited my late Step Mom's 2015 Mazda 5.
Think of it as roughly a 3/4 size mini-van, and you're in the right niche. 35k mi. I'll make a payment on it next week, and set aside enough for a subsequent payment, if needed. By then, the Estate Trust should have effected the necessary changes to accounts, so that I can liquidate this, and sign for that, and I'll pay the rascal off in whole. Now, here's the choice I'll face. To keep a mint 2013 Honda Accord EX, 59k miles, or the Mazda 5, as described. The Honda just got a brand new set of Goodyear tires, by the way. I'd be happy with either. What do y'all think the best long term play is here, Horde? Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at January 31, 2019 12:38 AM (QzJWU) 490
Many cars have a rubber flex hose from the filler neck to the tank proper. And there is often also a vent hose circa 1/2" in diameter to vent air out to the filler neck as the tank is being filled. A loose clamp or deterioration of either of those hoses will result in a fuel smell after a fill, as will a failed gasket where the fuel level sending unit (which now often contains the in-tank electric fuel pump) mounts to the tank.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 31, 2019 12:35 AM (nPGq2) Strong fuel odor in the trunk for all of these? Same real estate, so I am guessing. I took it to my local shop and they said they could not smell it or find a leak in any of the tank filler hoses. On the one hand, I think they have been around gasoline for too long and so are nose blind, on the other, I was thinking it is really hard to check the fuel pump without removing the gas tank other than to say it is working.

Too good to be true? Is there a cure for all cancers right around the corner?
It does sound too good to be true, but someone pointed out that the same was probably said about the polio vaccine in the 1950s. If it does pan out, let's hope that the FDA won't require 15 years of studies before letting it on the market. ======== Float a rumor that it has a side effect of turning you homosexual, the Democrats will have it approved in a New York minute and make it compulsory whether you have cancer or not.

Jim, I think it would boil down to choosing the car that you prefer to drive. I suspect the Accord will hold its value better over the years than the Mazda does, although there is nothing wrong with Mazda quality, AFAIK. But the Mazda is 2 years newer. Either one should, if well-maintained, last beyond 300,000 miles.

Be careful with replacing sensors that allegedly are defective. All any trouble code does is tell you there is a problem in a particular CIRCUIT. An enormous amount of the problems I have fixed were NOT parts related, but in the wiring that transmits the sensor reading. Or a faulty vacuum hose. If it were me, I'd have the code read, and then cleared to see if it would repeat. Posted by: irongrampa at January 31, 2019 12:46 AM (S/hVx) 502

Posted by: irongrampa at January 31, 2019 12:46 AM (S/hVx) Which is why I have a code reader. So I can do just that. I have two vehicles which repeatedly set codes. The '97 Suburban sets a code for "O2 sensor #2 out of range". It does this because there is a warped flange in the exhaust pipe, causing a leak upstream of the sensor. Engine runs just fine, though. And the '02 Suburban has a leak in the rear vapor canister, caused when the vehicle got rear-ended. I made an attempt to mend the canister, but it leaks a little. Does not affect engine operation at all. I clear codes on both vehicles periodically, just so I won't miss new ones, should they occur.

I hate the code system.
I've had problems that had physical symptoms but would not show a code. Now if I had the pro setup for about 10k+ it might show up there. I've had two time a miss not show up as a miss. Yet you can hear it and feel it and mileage and power is off. One was a Ranger 03. Still don't know what was wrong I got rid of it. The other is a 99 dodge stratus with a miss. Turns out it was a tiny break in one of the intake manifold gaskets. Only found that when I heard some whistling while I was checking something else. Tracked it down and stuck my finger at the spot and had improved idle and no whistle. Replaced gasket, runs fine. NO CODE. Posted by: jakee308 at January 31, 2019 12:54 AM (c02Xt) 510

Posted by: jakee308 at January 31, 2019 12:54 AM (c02Xt) Simple answer is that not all functions are monitored in cylinder-by-cylinder detail. That will probably change, if it has not changed already. It would not surprise me to see a torque sensor shaft in the front of the transmission that would output an electrical pulse proportional to the torque pulse made by each cylinder in turn. Then the ECM could go, "hmmm, #2 cylinder is putting out 12% less torque than the mean for the other seven, all of which are within 5% of the mean. Let's keep an eye on that puppy."

How many miles have you racked up on yours, and what's the service record on it been, thus far? I just drove this one back to Galveston from Orlando.

There's a famous story about Buckminster Fuller. He was famous for his marathon speeches, which he gave all over the world. Just speeches, nothing else. In one city they told him he had to pay for two union stagehands. Fuller: "But I just talk. I don't have any scenery or props or anything." Union leech: "You either hire them or you don't go on." So... Fuller called up a piano rental company and had two pianos delivered to the venue. Then, throughout his multi-hour speech, he paused every five minutes or so and said "Now, I need THAT piano over THERE, and THAT piano over THERE." Heh.

Pulled up to the pump, unlatched the fuel lid on the bike, and grabbed the fuel handle on the hose at the pump. Actually had the first 1/10th gallon in the tank, when the attendant arrived at a sprint in a dead panic. I could NOT fuel my own bike, under penalty of law! Dontcha just lurve those Unions, yas?

This moment, right now, is possibly the coldest moment in North America since the last Ice Age. Behold the temperature map:
http://hp2.wright-weather.com/icons/us_chill.gif Literally ALL of the lower 48 states are entirely or partly in sub-freezing temperatures. (As are all of Canada and Alaska, obviously, but even parts of northern Mexico). In the entire continent, only the southern tip of Florida, the southern tip of Texas, lower Arizona and the coast of California are above freezing right now. I can't produce rems of data off the top of my head to prove my contention, but in my lifetime I can't remember ANY cold snap that blanketed the whole continent with such severe temperatures as this one has. I challenge any Alarmist to DISprove my statement that this is the coldest the continent has been since the previous Ice Age. (That's how leftists argue, so I'm holding them to the same standard). Not only are all 48 states freezing, but a majority of the are below zero -- extreme cold. And always remember: In 2006, Al Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize AND and Oscars for his prediction that snow would cease to exist on Earth by 2012. Uh huh.

All "wind chill" factor is an attempt to measure how much wind speed lowers the "apparent temperature" humans perceive. That is, the wind chill temperature is what the temperature of still would have to be to cause as much heat loss to a typical human as the given temperature and wind speed conditions. The current formula for the US in F is this: T_w = 35.74 + 0.6215*T - 35.75*v^(0.16) + 0.4275*T*v^(0.16) where T is ambient temperature and v is wind speed in mph. That's complicated, and just empirical attempt. Different countries use different models. Canadian wind chill is not the same as ours.

The question of abortion has brought us to a place where the differences cannot be surmounted. Conservatives, ie, normal people see abortion as murder and an abomination. Progressives, ie, monsters, have elevated abortion to being the fullest expression of woman's liberty and autonomy and a great many woman, especially single women have adopted this stance. All of this is further compounded by the fact that the SCOTUS has removed any discussion of abortion from democratic or representative consideration, entirely on the pro-life side, it would seem that the pro-murder side is now emboldened to let their freak flag fly. We ain't voting our way out of this. Posted by: Marduk's Gyoza at January 31, 2019 04:29 AM (AOWT7) 635

All "wind chill" factor is an attempt to measure how much wind speed lowers the "apparent temperature" humans perceive. That is, the wind chill temperature is what the temperature of still would have to be to cause as much heat loss to a typical human as the given temperature and wind speed conditions. The current formula for the US in F is this: T_w = 35.74 + 0.6215*T - 35.75*v^(0.16) + 0.4275*T*v^(0.16) where T is ambient temperature and v is wind speed in mph. That's complicated, and just empirical attempt. Different countries use different models. Canadian wind chill is not the same as ours. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at January 31, 2019 02:45 AM (f1Vqw) __________ Yes and it's probably an issue of what's useful to the end users - normies. The technically useful term should be a rate of heat transfer due to a combination of ambient temperature, wind speed and moisture taking into account conduction, convection, radiation, and the enthalpy of vaporization from skin moisture. From that you can calculate how quickly your exposed surface skin area will lose heat and it's equivalent rate of temperature drop. But no one but autists would understand or do the calc or make used of the results. Even with aspreadsheet. So imperfect wind-chill temperature gets used instead. Damn normies.

Working outside isn't too bad in cold weather. By that I mean down to about freezing. And by working I mean as in physical exertion. It's fairly comfortable to reach an equilibrium. Sweating is worse, it is extremely uncomfortable if one sweats buckets as I do. High humidity and high temperatures are miserable. Thankfully in Iowa we have both, with up to two or three weeks annually that is actually nice weather.
Once it gets cold cold, below about 10 F or thereabouts, everything becomes a real big pain in the ass. With high winds it becomes dangerous. Posted by: Common Tater at January 31, 2019 05:01 AM (WgTfj) 647
So from the news reports it looks like Day 1 of the border security negotiations are off to an awful start. Democrats still stuck on no Wall, no where. Want CUTS to ICE budget, limiting their ability to detain criminals and asylum crossers by slashing the number of facility beds by 50%. If by next week its clear this is going nowhere, Trump should just open the Govt. early and go ahead with the declaration of National Emergency. Dealing with today's Democrats can only make the immigration enforcement policies worse, IMO.

Posted by: RickZ at January 31, 2019 04:59 AM (Y8PSl) _________ I understand what you are getting at and agree with your logic. And at the same time, asking someone to recognize their own hypocrisy is usually unpersuasive because no one enjoys admitting fault - they'd rather rationalize a reason why this topic is the exception. And our goal isn't to be technically correct, it's to persuade the opposition to change the their mind. And the first step is to agree with them on something, anything thats true. Then get them to imagine a choice is possible, then asking them to see the choice, then ask them, if they made that choice how would they see the world differently and how, with their permission l, they might look at the issue through their new perspective. Basic pattern below. "We can all agree that choice is important while simultaneously recognizing that murder is bad even if we sometimes see differently on what it is. So what happens if you imagine that abortion is murder? Even if you don't, a person can put themselves in the position of someone who honestly does - we agree that would change things. A person may have a different perspective - can you see it? So with your permission - how would you feel differently about abortion in that light?"

Rush's insight is a little silly and he should know better. The sole purpose of a political party is to gain power to advance the interests and policy preferences of it's voters and the party generally and to act and work in such a way as to deny and frustrate your opposition and their voters and prevent them from advancing their policy preferences. So the Donks are doing what a political party should do, properly understood with regards to what a political parties function is. Right now there are only two main oppositional forces, the Democrat Party and Donald Trump. The GOP to the extent they are relevant at all, are acting as an oppositonal force towards Trump and his supporters and the GOP base generally.

They are just ANTI-moral. They hate whatever their society holds dear - specifically to be perverse assholes. That is all they aspire to - that and general nihilism. Leftists look for the most perverse and insane positions and then adopt them, specifically because they are so perverse and insane. That is what they are all about. Because they have seriously perverse and lunatic father issues. Of course, with perverse lunatics like that for kids who could blame a father for feeling disappointed and ashamed of them?

After viability, absolutely. There is virtually no medical reason to abort a viable fetus, none. Abortion to the extent it can be tolerated by a morally civil society should be relegated to pre-viability and not a nano second after. You don't want a baby, fine, there are thousands of couples who are incapable of having children and are looking to adopt. There are roughly 1.5 million abortions a year yet there are roughly two million couples that are seeking adoptions, a moral society would be able to square that circle. However we no longer live in a moral society. Posted by: Marduk's Gyoza at January 31, 2019 05:54 AM (AOWT7) 703

But I also think killing a viable fetus is murder. There are cases where a pregnant woman has been murdered and the perp is charged with two counts of murder, the woman's murder as well as the death of her unborn child.

On January 30, the moon rises first, followed by Jupiter, then Venus and then Saturn. Given clear skies and an unobstructed horizon in the direction of sunrise, it'll be easy to catch the moon, Venus and Jupiter.

I see Rand Paul got his judgment in his civil lawsuit against the nutjob neighbor who attacked him. $375,000 in punitive damages, $200,000 for pain and suffering, and @$8,000 for medical expenses. (I assume the low medical expenses award was just for the deductibles that Paul had to pay. Should have been for the entire medical expenses, but maybe that's a KY law thing.) Not as much as I would have given Paul, especially after the nutty neighbor was only sentenced to 30 days' jail time for the vicious assault, but still a sizable amount of money.

The insurance company should have been involved in the civil suit and been given the opportunity to recover what they paid out on the Senators behalf. I would guess from the extent of the injuries it would easily be $100,000. But I guess they don't give AF anymore.
______________ Yeah, I don't know why the crazy neighbor was not made to pay the actual medical expenses that Paul had to pay (whether through his insurer or not). Why should the neighbor benefit from the fact that Paul had insurance? He still caused the injuries, deliberately, and he should have to pay for the actual costs of those injuries to the defendant and/or his insurer. But the lawsuit was in KY, and maybe KY law doesn't allow plaintiffs to recover insured medical expenses or something. In any event, I'd expect that Paul's medical expenses were well over $100,000, given that he was in the hospital for weeks. Posted by: TrivialPursuer at January 31, 2019 07:02 AM (fqUgw) 794

That little fucking dog has shat twice on the carpet in a 4 hour period, the second time right in front of me. I swear I don't want anything bad to happen to him, but I won't miss him when he's gone. He's 14 now so hopefully it won't be long.
I know that makes me sound like an evil asshole, but my opinions were not solicited nor were they considered when Eldest Daughter brought the dog for my late wife, as is the norm for all of the animals ever brought into "my" house, and when she passed I got stuck with his little ass. So he's not a blessing, he's a burden, and always has been. Mrs Hades, to her credit, is well aware of my feelings on this matter, so if she wants a dog after this one she will take care of it. If you have ever considered giving a pet as a gift, especially to someone who does not live in your household...don't.

Instead of spending too much time everyday getting outraged over the latest FaceBook nonsense, just pop a 'lude, take a warm bath, shave your legs and find a man to screw. You'll feel better about the world and laugh at OrangeManBad every day instead of getting outraged. Seriously, they were never as OMG terrible as some scolds made them out to be. Some of the happiest, healthiest, horniest, most well adjusted and attractive girls I knew in high school were snitching from their moms supply. Happy women. What a concept.

We had those in the river bottoms by the shop where I worked. One day my buddy, Cornbread brought his bow in along with a cooler and a couple of gallons of buttermilk. He shot one of the larger piglets that dressed out around 80 lbs. We brined him overnight and barbecued him he next afternoon for lunch. It was surprisingly tasty.

"Abortion to the extent it can be tolerated by a morally civil society should be relegated to pre-viability and not a nano second after."
Something I would like to see (but probably never will) is a politician taking an approach to abortion similar to that which Lincoln took toward slavery when he was running for president. Remember that Lincoln did NOT run as an abolitionist demanding an immediate end to slavery in all states; he ran as a "free soiler" who did not want slavery to expand beyond the states in which it was already legal. Abolitionists of the time thought he was way too soft on slavery -- but he ended up being the president who got credit for freeing the slaves. A "Lincolnian" approach to abortion, IMO, would mean allowing abortion ONLY within the limits outlined in Roe v Wade (and only in Roe, not in Doe or any other the other, subsequent cases that broadened the "health" exception, etc.) and no further. A "go no further than what Roe allowed" approach would mean no abortion after viability or the first trimester; narrowly defined health exceptions; no taxpayer funding or mandatory insurance coverage for abortion; yes to parental/spousal/father consent; yes to conscience protection clauses, etc. It wouldn't be perfectly pro-life but it would be a heck of a lot better, or less bad, that what the left is trying to push now. Of course, if any pol IRL ran on that kind of platform he/she would be blasted by both sides: pro-aborts would scream about how horribly misognyist and anti-choice they were (duh) but at least some pro-lifers would say he/she was being too wishy washy by allowing any abortion at all. But who knows. Posted by: Secret Square at January 31, 2019 07:33 AM (9WuX0) 833

There's mountain lions being sighted in the Austin area,
Oh good grief. That mountain lion sighting was when some stupid Millennials looking for a place to walk their dog off-leash was trespassing through the heavily wooded Austin Archery Club. We have signs ALL OVER THE PLACE warning people of the danger of being down range of archers. For those who are familiar with archery, it isn't just about bags with concentric circles (that would be field archery) - we have extensive 3D range for practice and competition. A 3D target range is made up of life-sized, realistic three dimensional rubber critters that have subtle markings for scoring. These retards will stumbling through the brush with their dog crashing around where they lost of their dog but picked up on our mountain lion 3D target that was still. They bragged that they were so stealthy that they were able to creep up on the critter (apparently not enough to notice the metal stand holding the critter up). Then after studying this rubber mountain lion, they slinked out and informed for park ranger of this dangerous creature. We had to close down the archery range for a day or two to get this straightened out. Posted by: Blue Bird of F'ing Joy at January 31, 2019 07:37 AM (lD3vL) 837
From the website Second City Cop...
So on the second coldest night of the year, a Hollywood actor, bundled up against -20 degree wind chill, was recognized by two "fans" in the dead of 0200 hours, on Lower Water Street (a known hangout for the seedy underbelly of MAGA supporters?) who happened to be carrying a canister of bleach and a piece of string, just in case they ran across a black, gay, Hollywood actor wrapped up against the elements in a place known more for homelessness than for the star set being seen in public. Sounds completely believable, especially the part about this being "MAGA country" hours after the first interview and the insistence that body cameras being turned off (for a guy who makes his living in front of cameras) and the seeking of medical attention after (A) turning down an ambulance and (B) heading to the hospital hours later. Our contacts say that the "persons of interest" happened to wander into a camera frame and seem to have had nothing to do with the event in question - but the bosses want to look like they're doing something to appease Rahm and the Hollywood money people - Empire is losing money and viewers - so it's "All Hands on Dicks!"
