Adventure Pigeon posted:WVA? The White House recently approved a measure aiming to cut levels of allowable coal dust from 2.0mg to 1.5mg to prevent black lung (updated with better link). Yep, that sure is a terrible idea, god forbid we don't work miners literally to death. A decision on Keystone XL was delayed recently, potentially due to political maneuvering but more likely because Nebraska overturned a bill affecting it. f#a# fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Apr 24, 2014 |

Is there any chance Bundy will face any actual legal consequences for pulling this poo poo? The guy is in open defiance of a court order and pretty much an insurrectionist. I know the Feds wanted to avoid any bloodshed but letting right-wing militias essentially seize government land with no repercussions seems like its setting a really bad precedent and inviting a lot more of this behavior.

And why is ECONOMY just chugging happily along in the background instead of being destroyed by G  VZILLA?And why is the economy label tagged on the classically negative image of polluting factories with copious visible black smoke, the likes of which we mostly haven't emitted since the clean air act? It looks like what the artists of Fern Gully would draw to indicate "pollution bad."

You could really sub any sport in there and it'd be applicable. There are football players that didn't even have a 3rd grade reading level that get full-ride scholarships because football is literally the only thing they know. I think there was a report out where a student-athlete went into a professor's office to help him read the newspaper since his name was in it and he couldn't read what the rest meant.

Well, I'm sure he'll just carefully back away from the statement and explain... A Racist posted:That’s exactly what I said. I said I’m wondering if they’re better off under government subsidy, and their young women are having the abortions and their young men are in jail, and their older women and their children are standing, sitting out on the cement porch without nothing to do, you know, I’m wondering: Are they happier now under this government subsidy system than they were when they were slaves, and they was able to have their family structure together, and the chickens and garden, and the people had something to do? And so, in my mind I’m wondering, are they better off being slaves, in that sense, or better off being slaves to the United States government, in the sense of the subsidies. I’m wondering. That’s what. And the statement was right. I am wondering.

over how long it's taken Waifu to get to Maryland is strange to see. Do you people never read webcomics? Just because a given story unfolds over multiple days doesn't mean it takes that many in story days. Jesus, if that was true the characters in QuestionableContent must speak with all the speed of dripping pitch.

37 jobs. Remember that. The Keystone Pipeline, after its 2-year construction, would only have 37 permanent jobs. 5 of which would be temp contractors. The American Middle Class is being loving annihilated by this obviously money-driven decision. The Trillion-Dollar Anti-Oil Lobby is personally seeing its way to cause the Amerocalypse. Contrarianism is Truth. Obummer is a Lie. Benghazi Benghazi Benghazi.

I fear that the rampant extremism on display here is draining my appreciation for satire. Maybe Colbert feels the same way and that's why he is quitting. My old strategy of pretending all the Pieces of poo poo are actually satires has worn thin. Maybe I should dip out of the threadstream for awhile.  Eh, I wouldn't have wanted to miss that last Lucky Ducky, which was a homerun. I'm sure the next Kelly will snap me out of it!
