Still over 700 ATF provided weapons missing and presumed to be trafficked to Mexico.
How many will be used over our Labor Day to kill our neighboring Mexicans in their own backyards, schools, and plaza’s?
How do you think Eric Holder is holding up?
Seriously, how many guns are in circulation in the US?
As every NRA righty knows these 700 guns were “defective” . . . these 700 guns are guns that actually do kill people.
After Gizmodo hit piece, Magic champ Jon Finkel tells all on Reddit
And here’s the animated Bayeaux Tapestry — proving that new technology and old weavings belong together! (It’s really cool.)
pretty awesome concept
love it!!!
To go with the classic “someone is wrong” one?
When LBJ moved his first civil rights legislation through the Senate many complained that it wasn’t enough. But LBJ’s view was that getting something through for the first time in 80+ years was gigantic. And that the better legislation would then follow.
If Rollie’s initiative passes, than it shows all the fraidy-cat Democratic “leaders” that taxes can be increased and all it takes is a backbone and a willingness to fight.
you’re a douchebag. (kidding)
Still, I would prefer a tax package that didn’t hit lower income and middle class harder than the wealthy.
and transcripts of the audio–The Memory Project. Gives the name of each soldier and their hometown as well as an audio and transcript of their memories. You can search for someone you know by name, location or service details.
A friend of mine sent me the link and I’ve been listening to different WWII vets sharing their memories. Some of these stories are just jaw dropping. And they relate them as casually as one would a weather report.
Your shit is not welcome here. That is all.
I have no idea what this is about, as usual.
No fair stealing my mantra.
I guess in all fairness they probably should be required to tell us where they live, and where they vote, so that everyone can pre-judge the merits of their spam.
How long is the penalty box up? Isn’t there a sunset clause somewhere?
Doing a wonderful job. Promoting diaries that should be promoted – check! Pissing off Ralphie – check! That’s two for two 🙂

Years ago a physicist came up with a way to drastically reduce plane boarding time. Needless to say, no airline has even tried it.
The industry does tinker with boarding order. Different airlines do it differently. Southwest approaches “random” with its first-come-first-served seating order.
Also, the physicist neglects marketing requirements. Premiere frequent-flyer passengers need to be made to feel special, which would throw off his algorithm. And the article does not talk about what to do with people who are not on-time to the gate. Seems like they would mess with perfection as well.
So, this is not really “another industry unwilling to learn.” It’s more “another sensationalized story that neglects the subtleties of reality.” Kind of like 99.999% of “educational reform” articles.
that when physicists (or engineers) assume people act as automatons (or even “average”), their models always meet with universal acceptance and success.
How does this model account for a family with young children traveling together?
I would assume they still do pre-boarding for families with young children. The trick is to experiment and adjust.
Imagine if when Craigslist first came along newspapers had decided to create something similar and tie it to their existing classified business. They would have had to experiment and adjust as they went – but they probably would have retained that income stream.
People don’t pay for Craig’s List.
Once it got so easy to list stuff online and advertise job openings, cars and everything else…all for free, newspaper classified revenue went away.
Keeping the income stream was impossible.
First off, Craigslist does charge for some ads (like jobs). Second you can sell placement, better formatting, etc. Third you can run ads on the side. Craigslist is making good money.

As was the question & answer just prior that motivated the question.

I think you should try to reconcile your admiration for Steven Jobs’ answer here (people then technology, as you paraphrased it) with your admiration for a technological model for airplane boarding (in your earlier post above) that completely ignores human behavior.
There is a real conflict. Can you see it?
You start with the model and try it in practice. And from that you adjust. That’s what Apple (and the rest of us do) – come out with what we think is a good solution, then watch how people use it and adjust based on that use.
So Rand Paul decides to predict the future of President Obama’s newest economic advisor, before he’s actually had a chance to do his job. See article: http://www.rollcall.com/news/r…
I disagree with Ron Paul on virtually everything, but at least he has some principles.
With Rand Paul on the other hand, the term “cheap hustler” comes to mind.
It seems some morning glory vines are blooming late this year, though the plants are vigorous.
When it comes to gardening in Colorado, you can never tell! And you’ve got to hand it to the people who try things even if it isn’t exactly what they “should” be doing! Please discuss.
I planted my tomato plants without cages and just let them grow along the ground. I’ve had the largest crop of tomatoes ever! The branches along the ground grow roots and increases the amount of water and nutrients to the plant.
Also discovered tomatilla plants will take over your garden of their own volition if you let them. Cilantro will not grow where I plant it, but will grow in other completely random places. And, I had to dig up my four year old strwaberry patch ’cause it just wasn’t producing anymore (heavy sigh).
This was during the summer and we were eating outside on a patio. When she wasn’t looking we threw them in this strip of dirt along the edge.
The next year that strip of dirt had a ton of tomato plants in it. And she then watched us to make sure we ate them.
to compost old tomatoes — the heat doesn’t destroy the little seeds, so when you spread it in your garden next year, you’ve got tons of tomato seedlings. They sure are determined!
too.
they put in a garden for preschoolers back in spring. During a celebratory picnics the kids took to squishing salad cherry tomatoes into the soil. Now they have the most bountiful bunch of randomly growing cherry tomato plants ever — no rhyme or reason to the spacing just a messy free4all.
RG seems to know but preschoolers sure didn’t …
Of course they have no comment, nor should they. It’s a no-win situation.
Worse it leads to the questions they don’t want asked:
How did he get a SS number?
Has he been using the SS number for benefit attainment?
If so, then when did he start and please explain how its George Bush’s fault?
Etc, etc, etc….
it’s George H.W. Bush’s fault if he’s had these IDs since the first Bush administration. Why won’t the Bush clan address these questions? Did Jeb Bush somehow arrange for Obama’s uncle to get a Social Security card as part of the Silverado shenanigans? If he says it’s a ridiculous question, doesn’t that just mean we should press the question harder? Why else would ANY ONE of the Bush family decline to comment on this?
How many other illegal aliens are out there with drivers lice. and SS numbers?
The Bushes are elbow-deep in this scandal and it doesn’t matter which brother pulled which strings because every family member bears responsibility for the crimes of every other family member. Do you think this had something to do with providing cheap labor to build the houses Silverado financed? That’s an intriguing theory, Libertad, and it angers me to no end the Bushes are remaining silent on this travesty.

1992 a half uncle of then world famous, powerful Barack Obama (he wasn’t?) who had pretty much no relationship with Obama obtained a ss# and license. That would be before Clinton took office but after he was elected or before? Following me? Why, then, are Clinton and Bush I both mysteriously refusing to comment on it? Hmm? Can anyone explain that?
Why am I refusing to explain it. Both Obama’s half uncle and I did exist in 1992 and I’m from Chicago myself. How am I going to explain that away?!? Where were you, RG? Come to think of it, where was ‘tad, in 1992 and why haven’t either of you volunteered that information yet? Why is everyone of us refusing to admit what we knew and when we knew it?
See how this works?
Which also explains why the long form was missing all these years.
Too good, ajb. That’s going to wind up being forwarded to every rightie moron on the planet.
No links, not running afoul of any anti-outing rules, but the #redco hashtag on Twitter just saw an interesting Tweet.
If true, serves ’em right for that dumb April Fool’s joke. I actually paid attention to them! Apparently I shouldn’t have, just more oil industry astroturf. And maybe some revenge for a certain jilted gubernatorial candidate?
I love the internets with their twists and their turns and their tubes!

But you’re so stupid and I’m really busy today. Sorry!
Putting aside the fact that 95% of the crap tweeted is crap I wouldn’t want to know in the first place – seems like most people just retweet what other people are tweeting.
Seems like an enourmous waste of time to do and to read.
I was just getting used to the old normal.
The D.C. Government filed a lawsuit Tuesday, claiming a city non-profit took more than 300-thousand dollars meant for a job-training facility and instead built a [strip]nightclub in Northeast.
