So-called liberals? I’m really doubting it’s Maureen Dowd firing off those death threats. Bloviate less.

In Dred Scott v Sandford, 60 US 393 (1857), 9 judges ruled that black people, whether enslaved or free, could not be American citizens and therefore had no standing to sue in federal court. SCOTUS isn’t the holy see; they can make mistakes. The Scalia opinion is one of them.

Difficult to debunk a theory without experimentation.

The missile failing would be separate from a warhead detonation, inasmuch as I understand such things. You can have one without the other. Even if you spray radioactive debris over an area accidentally, that is not the same as thermonuclear obliteration of that area.

Dentist is a pretty sweet gig, except when the profession gets pilloried after some MN jackass shoots endangered African wildlife. And I see what you’re beginning to say there, and PLEASE don’t.

You may have missed your calling.

Truck yeah!

Wait, what's wrong with carwashes? We need to be afraid of carwashes now? Thanks, Obama.

I think it’s pretty clear Jihadi John was not killed in that US airstrike, and is alive and well and hiding in Pittsburgh.

But why can’t even one game dev get past hit points and DPS?! In real life, a nearby explosion might leave a frail child with ringing ears, while a bad poke with a pencil might kill a navy Seal. Why do otherwise hyper-realistic games have these ridiculous energy bars and number values for damage? Can’t we have a game…

Really wanting to see the conditions of Sea State 9 didn’t work out so well for the Andrea Gail.

Operation Plumbbob... the thunderwell story! It's the most adventurous steel plate in human history.

I think just as bad for games is having hit points and levels for characters, and damage/speed/any other metric for activities. This inevitably steers all play toward the “best” weapon based on dps or item description special ability, and turns every game into a grind. Why not just, play? Have one item and find…

If we want to get into semantics over the importance of branch names, let's start with the Department of Defense. It's the war department. The DoD is Homeland Security.

Ramjet rounds.

You nailed it, except for the “Something, something” part. Keep it short and sweet.

How on God’s green earth could you not mention the warm Gatorade? We are perfect trolls. And you feed us.

I would love to be eating popcorn at the side of the road next time you are pulled over for doing 66 in a 65 and watch you not bitch about it.

Slow clap.

I'm not alone?!
