I was in the military under Bush. I went to war under Bush and I hate the fact that I had to. I voted for Obama and disagreed with Bush’s/gop policies. That said, the Obama administration, whether as a function of technological advances or a desire to put less American lives in harm’s way, really embraced drone strikes

“Respect for sovereignty will ensure a balance of power and non-rivalrous behavior across Europe.”

Oh, exactly...Obama’s wars. How could I forget when 9/11 happened on his watch so he went to war in Afghanistan in 2001; and then when he declared a Global War on Terror and went into Iraq in 2003 (which totally did 9/11 and had nukes) way back when he was actually President George W. Bush. And then when he got an…

Peace is great.

Makes you wonder who ordered a poorly informed raid in Yemen that ended with the death of a Navy SEAL and some TBD number of (30-ish) people including non-combatants and (initial estimates of 10) women and children (one of whom was an 8 year old American girl).

“As commissioner of the NFL, I am singularly focused on the Super Bowl right now.”

The best way to improve your own union is to become active in it. If everyone sits back and let’s some stooge decide what’s important at collective bargaining time.

BREAKING: Management thinks spending money on labour is bad

This law is what prevents them from doing so. Sans this law, they can do exactly that.

Steve Bannon is passionate about minority ownership, by which he means owning minorities

The Raiders gambled on Vegas, got screwed by a casino (magnate), and now have to go back to their hometown begging for help.

To be fair, Goldman Sachs is loath to make any big commitments right now until they find out which other key people are going to be tapped for Kommissarship. They’ll be in a better position to make deals when the details of their minority ownership position over the US are finalized.

Raiders owner Mark Davis has until March to get this mess figured out, otherwise it’s unlikely he will receive the 24 votes from his fellow owners needed to approve his team’s move to Las Vegas.

Exactly as MLK warned us about in “Letter from A Birmingham Jail”: “I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice;…

You could use the same logic to say that no street should ever be closed for a parade or a block party or a presidential motorcade. But for some reason it’s only ever applied to protesters.

It’s the latest in the fast-growing genre of glib tsk-tsking. E.g., “I support their right to protest, but they shouldn’t block traffic. What if there’s a sick child!”

This is all very unfair to poor Sage Steele. She makes it clear it’s not herself she’s worried about—it’s all the OTHER flyers (some of them immigrants too, by golly by gum!) who were being inconvenienced for whom Sage Steele’s heart wept. And all because some untidy and obstreperous liberals got a little upset about…

I’ve never called an elected representative in my life. I just did. I expected to have to leave a voicemail, but someone picked up on the first ring! This caught me off guard, so I stammered my way through what I wanted to say about the last couple of weeks, especially this weekend. Who knows if the congressperson I…

No help is coming from outside. No one else can fix this.
