what the hell kind of monstrosity gorgeous overkill is that? (as in, from what twisted factory in Nippon did that thing roll out?)

Is it possible to avoid voting for anyone that has taken contributions from the NRA? Or does the NRA hedge and donate to everyone, Dem or Rep?

So was Mitch McTurtleface’s refusal to allow the Senate to even consider Obama’s SCOTUS nominee. They saw something they didn’t agree with and pulled the same tactic a 3 year old does: “I’m not gonna do it, I don’t wanna do it, and you can’t make me do it.”

this.

SERPENTINE!!!!

Best/worst example of the Peter Principle EVAR.

You don’t actually think they share a bedroom in the Residence, do you? I bet the Secret Service has strict orders to not let her anywhere near him once the doors are closed. She probably sleeps in Barron’s room.

IMO, he looks like a young Bill Nighy, but that’s just my opinion.

I’m not advocating they get rid of background checks by any means. I believe that the security of our nation should be trusted only to those who are themselves trustworthy. I think that if the background checks are what’s holding up the recruitment process, then they need to either a) expedite background checks for…

That may, indeed, be why my situation was so different. I waited so long for a waiver that my life-situation changed and I was no longer available, nor as interesting as a candidate, to the Air Force, even with the legacy factor. I know recruiters try to get people through as quickly as possible, but I also know…

When I was working in the ALMS as a vendor, we snagged the right-front fender from the Aston Martin DBR-9 out of a trash barrel (we were set up right next door to their transporter, at the end of the back straight). It was off the 58 car. It’s hanging in my friend’s garage next to the side pod from a Formula Atlantic.

I think the difference could be right there in your reply: you enlisted as a “dual-citizen.” You already had an established, legal presence in the U.S. When I went through the recruiting/enlistment process (never finalized for numerous reasons), I had to provide documentation of my birth abroad and verify that I…

Thank you for your service.

Did you read the part about how the bureaucracy and red tape of the background check process may often take longer than the 2-year time limit? If their background check isn’t being processed in a timely fashion (whether that’s due to lack of personnel, funding, whatever) isn’t their fault and should have no bearing on…

Great googly moogly, that’s a seriously beautiful woman.

Well, in the Earth traditions of ye Olde Worlde, he would be known as “Gendry Smith” because he’s a blacksmith. I’m sure that’s just a shortening of “Gendry the smith.”

Because it was assumed that his unnamed mother was Doornish? That would follow with the whole “Bastards are named from their mother’s region” idea?

it was called “What The!?!?” and it was amazing. I used to buy every issue i could get my hands on.

I haven’t been aware of notification badges being stock on my Samsung phones at all (GS4, 5, and now 7), and had to enable it in Nova Launcher instead. The Notification preferences have been around for a while, yes, but this looks a bit more detailed.

looks very much like the pedestrian mall here in Charlottesville.
