A major problem with that billions spent and “lost” is that it won’t truly be lost, it’ll go into development of software that will be patented by the companies that will fail, and in an effort to recoup their losses, those patents will be sold to IP trolls who will go on to head off all other research via patent…

“sit comfortably in your seat...”

Got the recall work done in my Nissan Versa last month, everything went well except that the A/C console decided to break during the 24 hours it sat in their service center. They decided that dismantling the dashboard a few inches away from the newly broken switch was completely unrelated.

VSWAG: Violent Snowflake Without A Gun.

If someone quietly substitutes one of those fake Time covers with one of those Old West tintypes you get at amusement parks, I swear Trump will start tweeting that he tamed the American frontier.

“I’m new at this politics business. I didn’t realize that you’re not supposed to lie your ass off. Go figure.”

50 bucks says Trump picks his nose.

But it does serve a purpose: it crashes this whiner’s helicopter on a regular basis.

Isn’t Corbyn the Brit who stated that under no circumstances should Trump be allowed to address Parliament?

From what I’ve seen, McCain doesn’t like Trump very much at all. But he’s repeatedly suppressed that when he thinks it puts him back in the running with “The Establishment.” Lately, I suspect he imagines himself glamorous and influential as a Vegas Era mobster.

I grew up nextdoor to a cow pasture. Unmowed lawns support fire ants, ticks, fleas, mosquitos, snakes, mice, rats and chiggers. If you want all of that, please move out of the city.

The problem is that, while you may think you are shaming them, you are really proving to hundreds of other racists that there are plenty of real live asshats who don’t hold back. If there’s no instant karma for the filmed racists’ performance, publishing them merely normalizes bad behavior. Don’t post crap like this…

Not this week.

OK, on the count of three, you turn on the fire hose, and you throw the cats!

Personally, I think the King was pranking him, just to see how far he’d go before he realized it was a joke.

“People think the two most powerful parties in the legislature or Congress are the Republicans and Democrats,” Johnson said. ‘That’s not true. The two most dominant parties in any legislature are the people who want to make some changes and the people who want to keep things the same.”

always thought it was funny that Kirk apparently suffered from 2D thinking as well, until Spock reminded him of it.
