So normally Christie would scare off scandals? Doesn't make sense, the scandals are what made him not scary. Waste of a decent metaphor with that label. If anything the birds would be his political opponents.

It works: there are Polar Bear clubs comprised of people who are ballsy or whacked enough to dive into ice cold water in swim trunks before retreating back to land where there's hot cocoa, beer, and hopped up colleagues (male and female). It's something that seems impossible or suicidal but is over quickly and has a very enjoyable aftermath. Looking too far into it: it's a Delayed Gratification Cartoon.

 I cannot find a single reputable source on his claim. I think it's referencing a report from a geology professor at the prestigious Western Washington University. But I'm getting a bunch of links to nutbag 1990's style websites so it's probably true. zoux fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Feb 4, 2014 |

I don't it's just irritating that they can dismiss literally thousands of scientific studies and analyses that show a strong anthropogenic warming trend and then find one study that says differently and suddenly they believe in studies, well that one at least. Yes yes, my deep cynicism should inoculate me from that but sometimes it doesn't work ok!

I know it's about DEBT but haven't we slashed the deficit like the fastest it's been cut over a period of time since WWII or something? Not that it would stop 7oden's or anyone else's bitching about it, but still. Sometimes I imagine a world where the US is not in debt and does not run an annual deficit- what would Ramirez label large things as? Would he start cranking out Any Day Now cartoons, but with DEBT?

loquacius posted:So I was thinking about this some more, and y'know, it strikes me that the NSA thing would have been the perfect catastrophic event to permanently stain Obama's legacy if the right hadn't already earmarked Benghazi for that. They were too impatient and sure of Romney's victory to wait for something from Obama's second term, and then too worried about Hillary's chances in 2016 to abandon Benghazi as a talking point even when a clearly-superior scandal came along. Now they're stuck in a boy-who-cried-wolf scenario, where "NSA" is just the third bullet point on a list otherwise populated solely with things nobody else cares about. They hosed up BAD. I don't think this is the case- a substantial amount of the NSA stuff started under Bush, and it would cut too hard against the hawkish Republican base to attack NSA activities. Focusing on the NSA only really works from a libertarian standpoint, and the GOP can't safely make that shift and remain intact. This is setting aside the problematic complexity of the actual criticisms of NSA activity, Snowden, etc. Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Feb 4, 2014 |

Every year, everyone's Facebook fills up with "Happy Robert E Lee Day!" or "Happy MLK Day!" and never both, and it's the Civil War all over again, but on Facebook. And the Robert E Lee guys have no idea what's wrong with that, or why it only became a thing after MLK day became a thing. I mean, their birthday's are like a day apart or something, but still.

No, we always celebrated Robert E Lee day just like the Rebel Flag was always on our state flags and none of this was reinserted to fight against desegregation nope not a bit. People like you are the real racists. PS: The pledge of allegiance always had "Under God" in it

The Bors joke is that you have to separate art from the artist or else you'll never be able to enjoy anything because human beings are lovely. That's the joke. It's not complicated.

Richmond, however, is totally replete with monuments to the confederates. Monument avenue has like five of them (the only non-awful statue is one of Arthur Ashe and it's a terrible statue, stylistically) and there was a minor kerfuffle recently over putting a Lincoln statue up at Tredegar ironworks, which was one of the major centers of confederate industry. The bonus to living here though is that you can get wasted and take a leak on Jefferson Davis's grave when you're a teenager.

You should come back and visit sometime, crime is at an all time low, immigrant populations are up in the suburbs, and there's all kinds of revitalizing stuff going on downtown. Obviously it still has horrible parts but there's been a concerted effort by the city to improve things for our poorest constituents and all kinds of history stuff is happening now. Mostly I'm happy with all these things because they owe a lot to our strong black middle class which is a fantastic "gently caress you" to the neo-confederate troglodytes squatting on city limits. There's even an effort underway to build a museum down in the bottom where so many slaves passed through.

I come down firmly on the side that Woody Allen abused his daughter and Roman Polanski should be in prison, but that doesn't stop me from considering Hannah and Her Sisters, The Purple Rose of Cairo, Crimes and Misdemeanors, and Chinatown great movies. To be honest, seeing OJ Simpson in the Naked Gun movies doesn't even bother me. Tom Cruise is a horrible person and one of my favorite actors. Unfortunately, a lot of artists are terrible people, and you can choose to let that dictate what you enjoy, or practice a little cognitive dissonance.

Doesn't OJ's character go through a ton of abuse in those movies? I'd figure they'd be even better after what all went down with him.
