TIL Megadeth's frontman is a serial killer.
Yeah, see, the part you dotted out puts an entirely different context on it that kind of fucking matters. Like, if Megadeth's frontman were known for carrying a shovel, quicklime, and a bag containing rope, duct tape, knife, etc with him when he travels, and he admitted to picking up hitchhikers who were never seen again...
When a dude who talks about fucking underage girls for real, and adopts an underage girl for sexual purposes, writes a song about fucking an underage girl, it's safe to say it's got some fucking baggage with it.
Yet, R. Kelly is still around.
As is Ted Nugent.
Aye. I just kind of cringed at the thought that what artists write is what they do.
What I dotted out is what I'm happy judging him on. Well, not happy; disgusted, maybe.
What the fuck ever man.

The fact of the matter is, pretty much every musician (and a great many actors and filmmakers) who were in their prime in the 80s and earlier will have had sex with someone under 18. Remember, even David Bowie, whose passing was much lamented this year, famously had sex with a 14 year old. It was endemic.
Here I assumed it was hopeless. This isn't done, but it's excellent news.
Great! More oil shipped by rail! SOOO much better!
Oh Wait: Lac-Mégantic rail disaster
Be careful what you wish for.
If you want to stop oil development, then get a BETTER source of energy going (hint: LFTR plus batteries). Obstructionism of the best we have right now (pipelines) only results in higher energy prices for EVERYBODY and that's HORRIFIC for economies, AND the environment from disasters such as above.
As someone who has to buy bottled water during the non-Winter months of the year due to unsafe drinking water from agriculture work, I would trade higher gas prices for clean drinking water any day of the week.
Per the article: the army said they'll be investigating and discussing alternative routes for the pipeline. Gotta click that link. That's why I said it's not over; they could investigate and discuss and still end up deciding this is the way to go. But for now, this route's been put on hold.
Oy vey... we've got neo-Nazis speaking on campus this week. Most of the student groups and the university president are organizing protests against it. And now a white nationalist student group is going to show up in support of the neo-Nazis. http://www.thebatt.com/news/student...cle_1dc93402-ba9a-11e6-bd4a-cfd2eba45f73.html
These assholes never went away. They just lurked in the shadows, ostracized from civil society, until Trump got the nomination. Then they came out of the woodwork because they felt Trump supported their idiotic views.
I hate Illinois Nazis...

Or maybe it shouldn't be directed past the white people because they complain about it and then threaten the native population with it? Besides, lets not pretend your rail disaster is any different than the many pipeline incidents.
2010 to 2015
When your 'best option' looks like this, maybe you need to come up with a new option.
Considering how useful and widespread guzzoline is, a map of incident locations without some sort of BI/PD/env damage metric (and comparisons to other delivery methods, or alternative energy sources) is not very useful. Kind of like posting a (hypothetical) map of household accidents happening in the bathroom, without any further detail. AFAIK a reported spill can range from a hundred to millions of gallons.2010 to 2015
When your 'best option' looks like this, maybe you need to come up with a new option.
I've been negatively affected by 2 pipeline spills in the last few months though, I'm sympathetic to the idea.
So that bullshit news story about Hillary Clinton and that pizza joint and the child sex ring and shit that was spread by General Flynn there has finally blown up.

Gunman opened fire at Comet Ping Pong.
Here's the tweet in question.
Luckily no one was hurt.

Heh, i love how the anonymous student says every ethnicity should have it's own country...
I'm guessing he's gonna come out in support of giving Native Americans full autonomy in what is currently reservation land, and maybe even some more land to make an actual country.

I don't know how many of you guys have read Rand's work here. I would assume GB has, maybe a few others. I've read most of her books and I find it really interesting to look at this current set of events through her eyes. I don't want to assume too much, but I'm fairly certain she would have despised trump. He reads like one of the paper thin antoginsts from Atlas Shrugged. Maybe James Taggart? Anyways:
-Anti free trade
-made himself wealthy by "cheating" (her doctrine generally is that greed is good as long as you don't cheat)
-Paper thin ego (she was a huge proponent of the "self sufficient ego")
-Anti-science
I guarantee every objectivist Republican out there is tryin to figure out how to spin her philosophy to make it fit.

75 years ago was Pearl Harbor.
I'm guessing that the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in hindsight, didn't think it was a display of professional brilliance at all.
Next year,
Newt Gingrich:
16 years ago today, some enterprising young men proved their convictions and skills when they launched the biggest civilian surprise ever on American soil!

Perhaps not professional brilliance, but certainly emissive brilliance.
I changed the beginning of the sentence and forgot to change the end while I was writing it so I didn't make the statement I meant to.
Also, heh ho, wow.

That's ok, the joke still works.

The shown tweet was tweet 2 of a three part message.
His full text:
"December 7 is a good day to remember that the world is dangerous and shattering surprise is possible even when we have been warned. 75 years ago the Japanese displayed professional brilliance and technological power launching surprises from Hawaii to the Philippines. Japanese planning and trainng [sic] let them also carry out surprise attacks in Hong Kong and Malaysia.It was widest surprise attack in history."
In the most charitable of interpretations, he's trying to say that we need to remember that the world is a dangerous place and those that would harm us aren't always hapless shepherds with improvised weaponry and a complete lack of strategy.
But it was a pretty tasteless way (to again, put it lightly) to attempt to make that point.
