  1. Substitute 'bean counters' for 'people' in your post and it is accurate.

    Sure she's batshit, no dispute.

    But she doesn't have control of the Senate or House. So her batshit is relatively harmless, this cycle.

    Ted Cruz has the same problem. Only he has batshit weasel eyes (vs batshit harpy eyes). But he has partners, so he's a relative threat.

    They all want to increase government, just in different places.

    No way an evangelical is a good choice. Rs need to lose a few election cycles to cleanse themselves of the church ladies. I can accept a little harmless humoring them, but anybody who I see as truly thinking they are 'having a personal relationship' with a fictitious character is right out. Jeabus, sparkly vampires or 'Hello Kitty', it's all the same.

    No, Sanders likely loses the general. Leaving no gridlock, hence we'd be fucked.

    Always remember to vote 'gridlock'. This year that's Hillary.

    1940s, Echelon was originally a deal between the USA, the UK and Australia.

    They all have inconvenient laws banning their spooks from spying on their own citizens. So they all spy on each others citizens and exchange information. Formally agreed sense 1945, no doubt it was happening during the war (but mostly the laws were just ignored).

    Correction. Two weeks sense I last checked.

    The Shanghai composite is now down to an average PE of just over 50.

    Its now only about 400% overvalued.

  6. Up to the owner of the bandwidth/spectrum to decide. At least as long as they have ad-blockers installed.

    In cases of public spectrum it's going to be based on majority (in the long run, NPR notwithstanding). One of the downsides of democracy.

  7. I believe it's part of the RICO process. NAL

    I know the KKK died 'corporate death' at least once.

  8. Also, does your point really help the morons who scream 'racist' over groups that are not races under new definition or old?

    Or do words just 'mean what you mean when you say them'?

  9. Follow your own reasoning...what does 'racist' mean?

    It's not that Yahoo has negative valuation. It's that everybody knows the Chinese stocks are in a bubble (_Average_ PE Ratio on the Shanghai exchange is in the 70 neighborhood).

    And you can't liquidate your holdings. China says 'No selling and no talking.'

    I've been hooning like a mad man. No accidents or tickets in 30 years.

    If you drank so much you put yourself into a six year coma, there is something medically wrong with you.

    You should learn to drink BEFORE you start driving. 15 is a good age.

    On the flip side I've seen idiots put up private 15 mph signs.

    I made a point to run that sign over, every time I went buy in the beater.

    I really like what they did to my local super market lot.

    The added a chicane (in the form of a solid line of 'crete parking space stops, forcing you into the 'drive' lanes which have speed bumps), it slows down the lot some, but the increased drifting makes up for it.

    You have no freedom of association with regard to your commercial activities. 60 year settled law.

  22. You'd sound a lot more reasonable if you could find ONE MRA who wants to shut anybody up.

    They just want to continue ignoring SJWs. Who can blather all they want, but they aren't getting what they want.

  23. They wore out 'racist' by overusing it. Nobody cares if you call them that anymore. Too many idiots who don't understand what 'race' means made them all look like middle school girls calling each other 'fags'.

    So they ether had to escalate or shut-up.

  24. Go back to his early, funny material. About growing up Catholic. (Hey you holiness, how's the hammer hanging?) Back when he knew what he was joking about, not just telling the audience what they wanted to hear.

  25. A horribly underfunded ministry.
