The worker who triggered the false missile alarm in Hawaii has been fired. I know this because I've gotten this alert on my phone from CNN every 10 seconds for the past 10 minutes and counting and I have no ****ing idea how to turn it off. I bet that guy would know.

I don’t see how that is true everywhere. The avg home price here is below that.

Did you read what the FCC concluded was the guy's motivation for doing that?

I learned yesterday that someone at wired mag made a browser add on that adds "on the block chain" to the end of every sentence on the block chain.

Former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour will be fined after a loaded pistol was found in his briefcase as he attempted to pass through airport security.

Barbour, who served as RNC chairman in the mid-1990s and governor from 2004 to 2012, told the Associated Press that he was trying to board a flight on January 2 from Jackson to Washington D.C. when he was arrested.

Best week ever for WV hookers

Some of those look like eminem

Is that the annoying little twa.t from Harry Potter?

Fun fact: Tim Allen said he based his character in Galaxy Quest on Yul Brenner and believed it was going to relaunch his career as a serious sci-fi actor.

He must've been really drunk at the time.

Very nice.

Terrible shop

Kind of an exaggeration to call a screencap cropped with Paint a PhotoShop.

The schadenfreude would be thick if I didn't also live here with this article about how pathetic the Texas Republican Delegation (all the Federal legislators that Texas sends to Washington) has been in not even being able to pass hurricane relief when the entire government from top to bottom is Republican.

"Poor return on investment" is a weird way to frame the GOP strictly living up to their political ideology. Obviously they don't mean it to apply to them, personally, but 'No federal relief for disasters' is pretty much exactly what they were promised.

So last night I went to dinner with a friend in downtown Chicago and we were seated at a table next to a trumpkin guy going on a 1st or 2nd date with a Russian girl who lived in Moscow most of her life. It was amazing listening to the conversation when they started talking a lot about politics

Some of the conversation:
-I wasn't paying attention much until the guy boasted how he got his check yesterday and got an extra $160 thanks to Trump's tax plan. He did make a disclaimer that congress was more responsible for the taxes so we should be thankful to Republican congress people.
-He went on to say how the economy has been doing amazing for the last year. The girl tried to explain to him that the economy has delayed reactions to actual presidential policy (later heard she graduated with a finance degree) but he automatically said no that's wrong and continued explaining why he was right
-Guy brought up how the whole Russia thing was BS and the girl definitely agreed citing reasons like Russia being too big so even if it was Russia it wasn't Putin/the government.
-Guy thinks Russia loves Putin because they value stability. Putin makes the trains run on time and the economy great, as soon as he said that she said ummm no the economy is **** and he said oh ok and then continued rambling.
-Both agree Trump is a great businessman. He then says Trump doesn't pay taxes because he writes off all the depreciation from each of his properties and he knows this because he does taxes for his family and also used to sell tax software. Girl asks him if he is a CPA and he answers no.

-The girl did rave how Moscow has so much business. She also mentioned how she loved Putin before but the last couple of years hates him. The guy tried to sound smart and spit out some facts on Russian history but was corrected a lot.

It was spectacular listening to all of this and was a little disappointed the guy didn't bring up Hillary.

NYT doesn't need to travel to the middle of nowhere, they can come to a big city, enjoy a nice dinner and get their article on Trump supporters

SCARY MOOCH will be on Bill Maher's show this Friday, should bring the lol's

You are of course right on an ideological level, but are missing the guy's point which is that his true ideology is a variation of that "God bless America, and no place else" slogan from that parody many years ago. This guy wants government spending and government boondoggles in Texas, and no place else. Why? Because **** you, that's why.
