But it will come with fantastic photos of planets and nebulae on the box! I have actually talked people out of buying those, telling them to spend the money on a good astronomy book and pair of 20x50+ binoculars. Always a better investment, and if astronomy turns out not to be your thing, hey, you have a good pair of…

Higher-quality images can be obtained with off-the-shelf telescopes, but these would still require tracking mounts, a laptop, and a camera, also totaling somewhere between $3,000 and $4,000. These setups require far more work for the end user.

I am going to have to review the record on this one, but I do not recall Sherman Hemsley/George Jefferson using the term “cracker.” “Honkey?” Fifteen times a show, but “cracker?” Need to consult the record.

That certainly is true, but killing working class white folk never results in a prosecution either. [I have no idea why this posted twice. Kinja strikes again].

That is one hell of a dangling modifier you have there my friend.

I lost it at that line.

My takeaway was that somehow it was a BS racist regulation about a street having to be a certain width with no basis in neccessity.

Just take the term “politically correct.” It really means anti-racist, anti-bigotry, and pro-human rights. These are good things, but if you steal some BS term from Lenin, suddenly that is a bad thing. Just remember, when someone says, “I’m not PC,” they are really saying, “I am a racist, bigoted, anti-human piece of…

Gretchen’s letter brings out my biggest pet peeve of the Clapback Mailbag. You racists really try my patience when I have to read your drivel slowly - word-for-word-slowly. You throw together a word salad and I find myself seeing words that do not belong or have been badly misspelled and I have to re-read the damn…

But they are just being ironic about it. /s

Never had a logic course, did you. Slippery slope is a logical fallacy.

Look, Trump looked at a map and confused Georgia and Alabama. Happens all the time - to first graders (actually, they usually confuse AL and MS, so Trump is too dumb to be a first grader).

I read Lewis’s The Fifth Risk when it came out about a year ago, and he has an entire chapter devoted to NOAA that all but predicts this train wreck.

Let’s just admit two things - first, a badge is a license to kill with impunity, and second, rabbits so frightened of their own shadow that they are willing to execute anyone “because I feared for my life” have no business being cops. But of course this rabbit was honored. I am so tired of every cop who dies being…

Where because of your faith, or because of your beliefs, and because some thought that was outside of where it needed to be, they would go after your businesses and your livelihood.

What “known foreign agent” did any of the above hand info over to? Foreign agent means actually employed and/or resourced by a foreign government. And Snowden is only in Russia because while he was IN TRANSIT when his passport was revoked. You are supremely ignorant of anything, and every statement you make just…

Maybe you should look at whathas happened to NSA employees who have brought legitimate concerns through proper channels. Hint - they end up charged with crimes. Fuck you and yor bullshit blind patriotic ignorance.
