    With no regard to politics because I often find his simplistic there’s a reason I love Charles Mudede.

    It’s because he is a very very talented writer. THIS is so solid an opening I read the whole thing which contained at least four equally masterful sentences.

    In the beginning, there was the Terry Tavern (or the Scary Tavern), which was a dive that only attracted the kind of drinkers who never have a first drink nor a last one—they are always already drinking.

    Bob once or twice posted how American men or male tourists were being killed in Mexico and made some reference to me that I should be afraid, almost implying or implying that the men were gay and that the killings weee hate crimes.

    Well Bob will have a sad finding out that these two weren’t gay.

    And the hillbillies don’t want raping Mexicans in this Country, well maybe Mexicans don’t want rapping goat loving hillbillies in their Country. What’s fair is fair.

    Minute Physics, great topic. I lean towards a brown dwarf being a failed star.

    Sort of like coal vs diamond, they have the same element (carbon), but the final structure depends on external influences.

    The police shooting of Stephon Clark in Sacramento may not be as clearcut as initial news reports suggested. Police helicopter video shows him running through a backyard and moving to climb over a fence — he may, in fact, have been the suspect breaking windows in the neighborhood the police were searching for. Body cam video shows the police gave commands to “show hands” and “stop” several seconds before he was shot, and instead of complying, he began moving toward them. It was dark and the officers couldn’t clearly see whether he had a weapon. The cops arguably were still too trigger-happy, but I think we should reserve judgment on this incident pending results of the investigation and inquest.

    @5 “he may, in fact, have been the suspect breaking windows in the neighborhood the police were searching for”

    That Bob hasn’t been all over the Sacramento story has me a bit worried.

    I hope you’re okay, Doctor.

    Uh-oh. The loon will be soon be back and once again he’ll be seething with hatred for anything and everything that’s good and decent. That is, as long as the loon’s white supremacist friends didn’t finally get around to lynching him last night. It’s bound to happen sometime.

    @3 I doubt Mexican’s find rap the high point of music. Now if hillbillies who also love goats can do a great Narco Ballad.

    Trump and his cronies give the finger to Washington State one more time in the latest budget: https://www.seattletimes.com/business/no-rescue-by-congress-for-local-75m-fishing-boat-that-cant-fish-in-u-s-waters/

    While I hate to see Dakota Creek suffer and also the fine town of Anacortes, I have zero sympathy for Dakota Creek and Fisherman’s finest as they should have been well aware of the Jones Act requirements. This is what you get when you vote for “America First” candidates to run the country.

  14. 14

    @12 Things have sunk to a level in this country where the worst Democrat is still better than the best Republican.

  16. 16

    @13 The Jones Act: Preserving American jobs since 1920. Trump should love it!

    I’ll bet these guys voted for him.

    Well, here are 10 more workers who got laid off thanks to trump.
    https://www.npr.org/2018/03/24/596744980/trumps-tariffs-lead-to-layoffs-at-steel-beer-keg-company
    “Ten out of 30 employees were let go, unfortunately. It’s very disappointing. ”
    “When you look at a stainless steel keg that we make, it’s all domestic steel, so we purchase all the steel here in the U.S. Once those tariffs were discussed and then implemented here, our pricing for the domestic steel started to go up.”
    “There’s only so much that a customer is willing to pay to buy an American-made keg.”

    Saw this joke today: “They should make the wall out of Hillary Clinton because nobody seems to be able to get over her”.

    Yes, of course. The NRA. I’m sure that’s where I read that “Liberals must arm.” line.

    So, imagine if all those people in DC at #MarchForOurLives yesterday were instead marching with guns, how quickly our government—and by that I mean our republic—would fall.

    That’s the violent fantasy the @NRA is fighting for.

    I guess PA is going to change their state song to Dylan’s classic Rainy Day Women 12 & 35

    All Trump enabled was greed and price gouging by American corporations. Now that competition has been removed, that frees up US companies to jack up prices.

    Trump: Greed is Good

    That will leave all those red state folks crying in their beer over protectionism, that is if they can afford to buy beer after Trumps stupidity.

  25. 25

    @20 Simple question, doc. Do you expect liberals to unilaterally disarm when crazy rightwingers who are armed to the teeth publicly threaten to exterminate us and openly advocate civil war? Yes or no?

    We’ll disarm when you do. Your side has to go first because it started this arms race.

    @21 Seems like only yesterday you were stoning adulteresses (but not, of course, adulterers).

    @ 27

    The rates of rural hospital closures are the highest seen in the last few decades, according to the North Carolina Rural Health Research Program, a group which tracks rural hospital closures throughout the United States. There has been a total of 83 hospital closures from January 2010 to January 2018 in rural areas across the United States, the NC RHRP’s data showed.

    Gee, can anyone recall what might have happened in, say, early 2010 that might have contributed to this?

    Anybody? Bueller?

    Indeed, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, you DO get what you vote for. Until the midterms, anyway.

    @28

    Consider it as culling the rural herd. Vote for Republican idiots like Trump and Santorum and you will get what you vote for, less services and a worse environment. Bring back coal mining, pollute the rivers, the air. Black lung, toxic environment, no health care in rural communities due to corporate greed. It will lower the average life expectancy numbers, the red voters die off earlier, less red population. Census rolls around and what do you know, more representation in coastal and large cities (which are more likely to be blue).

    I say we cut off the welfare queens in our own state, such as the counties east of the Cascade Curtain (and a few on this side of the mountains). Know what will happen? They will become meccas for meth heads (as if they are not already): http://tdn.com/business/local/.....f1704.html

    Like Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, the DC march yesterday was mostly hat, not cattle.

    More than 200,000 people attended the March for Our Lives demonstration in Washington D.C. on Saturday, according to Digital Design & Imaging Service Inc (DDIS). The Virginia-based firm uses a proprietary method for calculating crowd size using aerial photos.

    The peak crowd size was 202,796 people, with a margin of error of 15 percent, the firm said. The crowd reached its largest size at 1 p.m., according to the company’s estimates.

    The organizers put the total number of attendees at closer to 800,000.

    Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit’s prostatic urethra achieves temporary patency around 1 pm each day as well.

    If it results in more votes, better people being elected and effective legislation being enacted, then it mattered, be 800,000 or 200,000.

    Damn. Boob must have fantasized:

    We need our shipyards, for National Security. Bad enough, the proposals for the new Frigate include foreign designs.

    Washington State could give Dakota Creek some business, the Elwha is usually based out of Anacortes and is the least reliable of the Super Class ferries.

  35. 35

    @34

    Absolutely agree we need our shipyards for national security. There are plenty of yards in Red states that can do the work. Why would Trump care about a Blue state? He clearly doesn’t think about long range impacts of his knee-jerk resposes and policies.

    35, Vigor seems to be getting a lot of Navy and Coast Guard work. The latter includes fixing a flaw with the Legend class cutter.
