Pence is dangerous and terrifying. However, he’s terrifying in a conventional way, the evil we know. Trump is not. With Pence I worry about stuff like women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, and classic GOP suppression of minorities and poor people. But it’s stuff we could reverse over time. With Trump I worry about stuff…

That’s not self-awareness, that’s “my attorney instructed me to say”...

Most of these people give me a cold shudder, but...

Those aren’t categories of classification; they’re designations of Top Secret having additional restrictions. SCI, for instance. There’s also a particular TS clearance for nuclear information and for NATO information. But there is no “double top secret” or “black ops secret” or anything like that.

Yep. I’ve had some form of security clearance for over 20 years but in all that time, I’ve only viewed classified information once. And it was basically just to show me what classified material looks like. Classification can come for reasons as mundane as publishing a boring photograph could reveal who took it, or…

Are we really talking about this again? Someone has an obsession problem.

Is that...Pope?

> it’s wrong to destroy other people’s property.

To be fair, Obama blamed Bush for almost his entire first term. I mean he was fully justified in doing so, but...

I still can’t decide if this movie is going to be good, interesting, or terrible. Hoping for the first or second, but bracing for the last. Will probably wait for the Rotten Tomatoes reviews to come out.

I’m really disappointed in Mark Kirk. I’ve been willing to cut him some slack because he is a solid defender of the Baha’i Faith, whose American headquarters are in Chicagoland. He is also a rarity in Republican politics these days: a social moderate who is pro-choice, supports same-sex marriage and making sexual…

That is a good teen who obviously has a lot of love for his teacher. Good on him.

“Washington PR man Tony Wyllie”

You would be wrong on that account, and also a moron if you’re actually serious.

Only tangentially related, but boy does Jeff Fisher look like he’s had his soul/life force completely sucked out of him.

Oh snap, science and engineering!

Yep when I first went to the GC, my wife got closer to the edge than I was comfortable with. I had about 500 heart attacks that day. I had to look the other direction a -lot-.

If you’ve never been to the Grand Canyon, for 99.9% of the Rim Trail you can literally walk right off the edge with 1 to 4 paces’ effort. It’s never more than about 10 feet away and the only guardrails are at the popular lookout points. I never knew I was afraid of heights until I visited the Grand Canyon and it would…

Given the PR disaster that Sochi was and Rio is shaping up to be, I sadly see the end of the Olympic Movement in the not-too-distant future. Unless of course the IOC completely revamps itselAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA sorry, I couldn’t even keep a straight face long enough to finish writing that sentence.

This might be the dumbest article I’ve ever read on the Kinja sites.
