  1. They'll still lose the gold to the American team from Caribou, Maine.
  2. How many gallons of lip gloss is Harf wearing? I've seen cougars at last call that look less predatory than she does.
  3. That's for sure. I can even accept speculation that it involved a threat to the president. But even I'd have trouble getting material for a dirty bomb...and I can think of three pretty available sources off the top of my head. I doubt a schmuck dumb enough to drive a car bomb across WV and MD is going to do any better than me.
  4. Add that to the list of words gatorman doesn't understand. Oh, wait...it's already there.
  5. Then shut up about ***** you don't understand. You don't quarantine the sick population. You isolate the sick. You quarantine at-risk population who could start an epidemic. That's the definition of "quarantine." And you specifically do it to prevent epidemics. It's why Rockland County also declared a quarantine for Legionaries' Disease two weeks ago, too - three people had it, an entire factory was quarantined for exposure. Same with recent flights to LaGuardia from the Middle East for MERV - no one had it, but people on the flights were at risk for it. Same with Ebola five years ago, when we had a huge national argument about whether or not people who were in the same geographical region as Ebola should be quarantined as at risk for Ebola (even if they'd never been within 50 miles of an Ebola patient. So yeah, keeping kids unvaccinated for measles, who are at risk to spread measles, from associating with the public - particularly the segment of the public like you who is too ***** stupid to understand words like "vaccine," "epidemic," or "quarantine" - is, in fact, a quarantine, legal under the laws of the US and the State of NY, as has been upheld by the courts multiple times.
  6. The source for the "dirty bomb" is Hal Turner. I call bull####. And they're not staging an "apparatus" from USAMRIID to Allegheny County Airport to WVA, either.
  7. Technically it's a quarantine, keeping people at high risk of creating/propagating an epidemic isolated from the public. The Supreme Court has upheld quarantine as a necessary public health practice. Of course, they were more common decades ago, until we stopped having so many major epidemics because PEOPLE STARTED BEING VACCINATED!!!!!!
  8. The article specifically says "BC Hydro."
  9. They're not. Total annual revenue for all vaccines for all companies is about 3% of the entire industry revenue, and profit margins are lower than other drugs. Pharmaceutical companies would rather make drugs taken daily, than make vaccines that only have to be administered once. If pharmaceutical companies were really driving things, they'd eliminate vaccines altogether, develop antivirals that you had to take regularly instead, and make a fortune.
  10. Canada. BC Hydro. Only the rate schedule for single-family residential for BC Hydro is a $0.20/day base rate plus a max $0.14/kwh rate. It's less an "Interesting Take" than a "Nonsense Take." I'm betting it's been going around Facebook for years.
  11. No, she's still a victim. Seriously...could have been worse, obviously, but she killed that *****. That's seriously traumatic, and I'm genuinely sympathetic to what she must be going through.
  12. They said that because it was a "hate crime." They were wrong, because a hate crime hoax is not a federal crime.
  13. While true, it ignores the simple fact that the "efficiency" calculation being pushed on people is a measure of CO2/mile, not dollars or energy efficiency or overall environmental impact or any other measure. It's yet another symptom of the unfortunate hijacking of the environmentalist movement by extremely narrow-minded zealots who want to reduce "the environment" to one simple outrage.
  14. Let's review Great C3PO Moments in Star Wars history: - lost an arm falling off a ledge after being scared by Sandpeople. - whined a lot about R2 getting shot at the battle for the Death Star. - whined a lot about the betting odds of navigating an asteroid field. - blasted apart at the Cloud City while pursuing another robot that insulted him. - contributed to the battle against Jabba the Hut by falling off an air boat. - intimidated a bunch of teddy bears by floating around in a chair and screaming in terror. A bowcaster? He's going to end up killing himself.
  15. "Trump is lying. That's all he does." - Progressive rebuttal.
  16. For too long, this country has committed its resources in the pursuit of propping up failed states. As your president, if elected, I promise to put an end to this, and will immediately sign an executive order investigating the opportunities to organize summits to discuss high level talks about our ultimate withdrawal from New Jersey.

  17. Counterpoint: you're an idiot. I rather consider your opinion confirms my point.
  18. I'll give the second one props for Sir Elton screaming "***** you, Poppy" at a robot murder dog while Colin Firth hits it in the head with a bowling ball, which was really funny. And the only original thing Hollywood's come up with in 10 years. But c'mon, those movies sucked.
  19. Which Kingsmen movie? The bad one, or the really bad one?
  20. Awww, buck up, little man. No matter the budget cuts, you'll always be a Special Olympian to us...
  21. Military fiction in general. His modern stuff was quite good, too. His non-fiction...he's kind of out there, but his points make for good thought experiments sometimes.
  22. Not at all, I just hopped in. Is jealous of Debbie Gibson.
  23. Yeah, I figured you'd be the one to take that low-hanging dingleberry.
  24. Emergency clinic? They're expensive, and in my experience except for acute injury (e.g. setting a broken leg, poison control), they provide supportive care until the animal's regular vet can see the pet. If it's your regular vet...get a new vet, sorry.
