I hope that sad sack — or at least the story he was relating that no-one paid any attention to — comes back to haunt us in a later episode!

Not just her timing, but how happy she is with herself after telling it.

Everything she touched was comedy gold.

Look up Diane Sykes, one of the most obvious choices. Never mind Giuliani, after her confirmation you’ll be pining for the good old days of moderate majority opinions by Scalia.

Well, compare that list of potential Cabinet members with this news from KTVK TV 3 in Arizona...

Oh, look, something WORSE:

Oops, sorry, I replied to Tabitha instead of you. See my comment on the Order of the Garter outfit above. ( http://jezebel.com/william-is-dre… )

William is dressed in the outfit of the Order of the Garter, which is a heraldic order that is (unusually) under the sole personal control of the monarch, who operates it without formal government advice or control beyond an overall public spending limit and an agreement on the maximum number of members of the Order.

He…

I hope they get a lot of cause to be personally embarrassed whenever they’re doing formal military things after having worn all the medals and ribbons they have put on them for things they haven’t personally accomplished.

The surviving European monarchies have this annoying habit of pinning ludicrous numbers of medals…

None of the prerogative powers you list are personal powers; for the past couple of centuries they have been firmly in the category of governmental prerogatives — i.e., the monarch cannot lawfully do any of the above[*] without formal advice from ministers responsible to Parliament.

There are still several ways the…

No, thanks to the Fixed-term Parliaments Act (2011), she actually legally CANNOT disband, dissolve or prorogue Parliament without the consent of at least a majority of the House of Commons.

The Royal Assent power has slipped into a governmental function, and cannot be recovered as personal prerogative without an Act of…

Yes, enormously so. See my comment above, or skip to this link:

It’s a constitutional monarchy, and the constitution (although not all codified and consolidated into a single leading document like in Canada or Australia, much like the USA) is really specific about the limits of the exercise of her non-personal powers.

(This has been the case since the Glorious Revolution where…

“And that fucking lady should think of the fear he suffered every time her crazy ass gets on a plane”

She won’t. She’ll also probably yell “fire!” in a crowded theatre because she thinks she smells burning popcorn.

Heh, just for fun you could short-circuit all the brains of the holy fuck people by editing to be, for example, “n/2 situations where n is a number around 1", which would blow the tiny minds of people who want to nitpick at you instead of actually understanding your point.

Let’s not even paint him as a historical figure that’s more real than, for example, Harry Potter or Odin. Scripture is just fan fiction written by many committees.

Quite so. This is not the first time I’ve seen someone here saying odd things about GLONASS being somehow broken or unreliable (and moreover it’s not like it’s the only GNSS system anyway, or that you have to choose one and only one of GPS, BeiDou, Doris, etc.), although the differences in choices of coordinate…

Concorde sonic booms were the best (or worst, depending on where and when you heard them) sonic booms...

From probably FL600...

GLONASS is good for between 4.5 and 7 metres position precision. Most GLONASS devices also talk GPS, some also talk DORIS, some also talk BeiDou. More GNSS references allow for faster initial positioning in adverse conditions (e.g. in “urban canyons” or indoors) and decrease uncertainties of position, movement vector,…

“Down again”? Got a source?

The Code is detailed (which is the point of codification) and online in both official languages. Links follow.
Second-degree murder was the first charge, see section 229 and below:
