Open Thread 9/22

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 9/22/14, 7:56 am

– I don’t care. I’m still linking to those silly lists of cities when Seattle tops them.

– The Seattle Women’s Commission is looking for new people. If you know someone who would be good, including yourself the info is here. [h/t]

– When I was growing up, I remember wondering why my grandma always insisted on walking and busing to get around, even when others were willing—would, in fact, have preferred—to give her a ride. Now, I am in her shoes: trying to explain that yes, I really do want to take the bus, and no, it’s not (usually) a hardship or an inconvenience; it is part of who I am.

– A Feel Good War

– A 15 cent minimum wage increase is better than nothing, Oregon. Still not great.

– Being the specific type of nerd I am, I’m surprised it took me as long as it did to check out the Pink Elephant’s Graveyard podcast, the K Records podcast. Quite great if you’re into that sort of thing.

    Do we really want to just stand aside and let the ISIS types of the world go where they like, do what they like, and kill who they like? Shouldn’t someone stop them? And what if no one else can?

    Imagine what would happen to trade and commerce if the world’s nations didn’t respond to high seas piracy and hostage-taking with force. Likewise, fanatics who take hostages and cut their heads off must be made to realize that affected governments will send their armed forces after them, or no one will ever be safe anywhere. I hate war as much as anyone, but we can’t let the world’s most evil people run amok.

    A 15-cent minimum wage increase will kill Oregon’s economy for sure.

    Our local village idiot troll farted in the multimedia thread:

    God still direct all things.

    LOL! Like the village idiot circle jerks with his own sockpuppet that included bragging about the family johnson size?

    Like posting some stupid fucking idiocy about a hammer that “proves” creationism?

    Like lying about leaving HA..

    Like this hilarious shit:

    Chuck Todd: Both sides now expect Romney to win Florida – Mediaite!

    Puddy said Jewish vote would be key! Y’all pooh pooh’d Puddy!

    Shit that’s funny! “Mediaite”, a “leftist” website that wants Republicans to win.

    Like anyone take their pick out of a miserable 41,000 plus comment record here since April 2005.

    “God” directed all of that? Too damn funny!

    Just get the cops from the various cities around the US to use their military equipment to go fight the ISIS crazies. The cops have pretty good capabilities to carry on offensive operations, given all the party favors they’ve been given by the Army.

    In many Canadian elections, the votes are counted by hand. In New Brunswick, they decided to count the ballots with electronic tabulators. What could possibly go wrong?

    Well, they had issues updating manually entered data with the machine count. Elections New Brunswick, the independent body overseeing the provincial elections, briefly halted the count. The results showed that the governing Progressive Conservatives had lost after only one term, with the Liberals gaining a majority, and the Green Party won a seat. The Progressive Conservatives are not conceding, and demanding a hand count. Under the circumstances, they should get it, 5 districts were won with a margin of 100 votes or less.

    I was just watching CBC News Now, and they mentioned these machines had been used in Municipal elections in NB no problems. The scary prospect, is Toronto will be using electronic tabulators in the upcoming municipal elections.

    The New Brunswick Progressive Conservatives will announce if they plan to contest the results today. If the results stand, it will have been a route, backbenchers didn’t take the brunt of the backlash. The PC cabinet had 17 ministers, 8 were re-elected. The Energy and Mines minister represented Fredericton-South, he lost to the Green Party leader.
