    We're bombing Libya again, this time in pursuit of Mokhtar Belmokhtar, "the mastermind" behind the 2013 takeover of an Algerian gas plant that left 38 people dead. Belmokhtar and "a number" of other terrorists were killed in Sunday's airstrikes, Libyan officials said.

  • The Pentagon is also planning to move battle tanks and heavy weapons enough to equip 5,000 American troops to several Eastern European countries.
  • Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is campaigning on "family values" while Republican Carly Fiorina touts her feminist cred. 
  • Jeb Bush is poised to announce his presidential bid today.
  • A government "data warehouse" containing personal info on people who seek health insurance coverage on the Obamacare insurance exchanges is raising privacy concerns. 
  • Hackers stole information about millions of employees from the Office of Personnel Management; the U.S. government says it strongly suspects China.
  • Per a new federal appeals court ruling, D.C. is permitted (for now) to require people to provide a "good reason" for wanting a gun. 
  • Rejoice! People may shut up about Game of Thrones soon.

          I was kinda trolling my local bar yesterday by playing a lot of Triumph on the juke box. Turns out; people really like Triumph.

      Jessie Ventura enters with Hillary. It's practically a Woodchipper.

  6. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    Jeb Bush is poised to announce his presidential bid today.

    No one, including Bush, wants Bush to be president.

  7. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    The Pentagon is also planning to move battle tanks and heavy weapons enough to equip 5,000 American troops to several Eastern European countries.

    You know who else moved tanks through Europe?

    1. WTF   10 years ago

      Bernard Law Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein?

    2. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

      The producers of Lord of War?

    3. Restor-woodchipper-as   10 years ago

      So, 5,000 total troops across several European countries. How many tanks would this number of personnel support? 100? 200? Basically this is enough to do nothing except provoke - poking a hornet's nest. Insane.

      1. Rich   10 years ago

        Didn't you RTFA, R? It's a significant move to deter possible Russian aggression!

      2. Brett L   10 years ago

        I read it as 5000 troops in several Eastern European countries at the same time. so we could rapid deploy 15000 troops plus all the tanks the autobahn can support. Also, Russia only has about 3M effectives in their whole population. We have that many already serving. Demography is not on Russia's side this time.

        1. Restor-woodchipper-as   10 years ago

          FTA...The "prepositioned" stocks ? to be stored on allied bases and enough to equip a brigade of 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers...

          I read that as 5,000 total. I assume that includes all the support personnel as well as trigger-pullers so in essence a pittance. Even if it is as many as 15,000 spread across a wide front it's meaningless especially since Russia's lines of communication will be nothing and we'll have to sail through the Baltic. This is utterly stupid.

          1. WTF   10 years ago

            This is utterly stupid.

            This is Obama.

            1. Chinny Chin Chin   10 years ago

              Yet some Top Man told him it was a good idea.

              This is also the stupidity of his national security advisors.

              1. VG Zaytsev   10 years ago

                It's hubris.

                When government is your god, its mere pronouncements are reality.

                1. Protagoronus   10 years ago

                  It's a trip-wire

                  1. Mark22   10 years ago

                    And we may trip over it and get hurt

              2. WTF   10 years ago

                I would bet that he was told by one Top Man that he should deploy several divisions to make a significant statement, and by another that he shouldn't do anything because it would be provocative, so he decides to go with a half-assed measure and get the worst of both worlds.

                1. Brett L   10 years ago

                  On the other hand, when a small battalion gets overwhelmed, the US citizenry is going to want to kick some Russkie ass.

    Per a new federal appeals court ruling, D.C. is permitted (for now) to require people to provide a "good reason" for wanting a gun.

    WTF?

    1. Rich   10 years ago

      "WTF" is probably not a good enough reason, but you could try.

    2. gaijin   10 years ago

      My reason: FYTW (the gov not TLPB)

    3. Catatafish & Woodchips   10 years ago

      Read the exceptions to the public carry provision. So if you're lucky enough to get a permit, no riding the bus or the Metro and no being within "1,000 feet of a protected dignitary."

      1. Rich   10 years ago

        no being within "1,000 feet of a protected dignitary."

        How will people know without labels?

        Some pigs are more equal than others.

    4. Zeb   10 years ago

      I wonder if they will accept "Fuck you, that's why" as a reason.

      In NH the permit form asks for a reason, but you can say pretty much anything besides "murdering people" and they have to give it to you.

      1. Spoonman.   10 years ago

        Same in Pennsylvania. I assume it's not a good idea to say "protection from demons" but I don't know.

    5. Pope Jimbo   10 years ago

      As long as they accept "because" as a good reason, I don't see a problem.

      1. Wally   10 years ago

        for snakes n such

    6. Preet Bharara   10 years ago

      Per a new federal appeals court ruling, D.C. is permitted (for now) to require people to provide a "good reason" for wanting a gun.

      How about, "To take out the Federal Appeals Court judges who violate their oaths to uphold the constitution and shoot them? Then put their bodies in a woodchipper?"

  9. Juvenile Bluster-fka Andrew S.   10 years ago

    They posted double lynx to kill off the "they're killing of the lynx!" posts from last week.

  10. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is campaigning on "family values" while Republican Carly Fiorina touts her feminist cred.

    Family as in the commune and the wrong kind of feminism.

  11. Bee Tagger   10 years ago

    Jeb Bush is expected to announce his candidacy for president today in Florida, and released his logo, featuring his first name and an exclamation point, over the weekend.

    I wonder if he'll end up being a factorial in the election.

    1. Brett L   10 years ago

      Yes. He guarantees that Rubio doesn't get enough FL money to stay in until the primaries end. Also, he probably injures Rick Perry. I think Scott Walker wins if he doesn't make a mistake, but Paul will make it to the Convention with a significant bloc. Hopefully not enough to be Veep, but enough to have a say in cabinet formation.

      1. VG Zaytsev   10 years ago

        How fucking out of touch do you have to be to donate money to Jeb?

        1. gaoxiaen   10 years ago

          Living in Liberia with an IQ of 50.

        2. Protagoronus   10 years ago

          You should go to a Republican party local meeting. Out of touch is pretty common.

          1. Charles Easterly   10 years ago

            The few times I've been to meetings this has been my experience as well, gaoxiaen, especially with regards to the older participants and those I would describe as blindly obedient to what I call the establishment Republicans (or "Team Red Firsters" if you will).

          2. VG Zaytsev   10 years ago

            I've been to a few and know some people that are active in the local republican party.

            They are out of touch - they thought that Mitt was a sure winner in 2012 for example. But even they think that Jeb is a non starter.

        3. Brett L   10 years ago

          How badly do you need someone to introduce you around South Florida when you need legislative approval or permits?

    2. All-Seeing Woodchipper   10 years ago

      Booo(!)

  12. Bee Tagger   10 years ago

    Rachel Dolezal, the leader of the Spokane, Washington, chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People who was outed as white by her parents, canceled a meeting scheduled for today

    This continues to be a great use of everyone's time.

          I almost most certainly agree. It was one for the ages.

    2. Medical Physics Guy   10 years ago

      You mean you didn't have a google news alert for "Spokane, WA NAACP" even before this happened?

  13. Bee Tagger   10 years ago

    A co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee in the United Kingdom accused Israel's intelligence service Mossad of breaking into his home and stealing a single shoe.

    Don't tread on him.

    1. Catatafish & Woodchips   10 years ago

      The Mossad plans to throw that shoe at him later.

    2. Galactic Chipper Cdr Lytton   10 years ago

      They also totally planted that goat porn, too.

    3. Mark22   10 years ago

      Wait for the other shoe to drop

  14. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    I guess ENB won, I assume because she's a woman.

    1. Medical Physics Guy   10 years ago

      Is that why you always win? 🙂

    2. Swiss Servator, Holzhacker   10 years ago

      Coin flip.

    3. WTF   10 years ago

      So, affirmative action?

  15. Bee Tagger   10 years ago

    Climate scientists say they're hopeful a statement on the danger of climate change by Pope Francis may encourage more government action.

    No more fears of electing a Catholic, I guess.

    1. gaijin   10 years ago

      Separation of Church and State!
      Science not fables!

      *Except when religious figures say something that fits our agenda

      1. Brett L   10 years ago

        They hated him because he's also an authoritarian who wanted to underline their authority. Now they love him for same.

    2. 2ndClassProle   10 years ago

      Yeah, their carbon scheme would produce a lot of poor people. Rent-seeking Pope has got to eat.

      1. Illocust   10 years ago

        Meh, the pope probably believes everything he's saying. His area of expertise is church administration and biblical texts. Anything outside that areas and he is just a layman with layman knowledge.

        1. Fabi   10 years ago

          Then perhaps he should remain quiet on the subject.

        2. Zeb   10 years ago

          Yeah, that's probably true. This pope has a lot of bad ideas, but he does seem to be pretty genuine and not interested in his own enrichment.

          1. Homple   10 years ago

            He's Pope. He has all the trappings of wealth he cares to enjoy and he doesn't have to even think about how to pay for stuff.

            1. Zeb   10 years ago

              This particular pope seems to eschew many of the trappings of wealth available to him. Which I find an admirable quality in someone in such a position. Too bad he is wrong about so many other things.

          2. Mark22   10 years ago

            I'm sure Bernie is genuine too. Heck, Prelate Kaas was genuine.

            1. Zeb   10 years ago

              Yes. I'm not saying being genuine means you are awesome. Road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that. It was just in response to suggestions that the pope is rent-seeking.

              1. Charles Easterly   10 years ago

                I am in agreement with you here, Zeb.

      1. Juvenile Bluster-fka Andrew S.   10 years ago

        Now I want to figure out what fatality each Reason writer would use.

        1. PBR Streetgang   10 years ago

          Radley's finisher is obviously the NutPunch.

          1. Charles Easterly   10 years ago

            Double-fisted.

            1. bacon-magic   10 years ago

              Woodchipper

        2. X[redacted]s   10 years ago

          Gillespie's finisher: as the light fades in the arena, The Jacket rises from his shoulders and hovers undulating in the air, its folds a black that is darker than black. Surging forward, it envelops the hapless loser - there is a muffled scream, the sounds of crunching and tearing, and then The Jacket returns to its perch on Nick's skeletal, abhuman frame. Where his opponent once stood, there is nothing.

          1. hamilton   10 years ago

            1. Gillespie's finisher as described is nice but the sound should obviously be that of a woodchipper.

            2. I presume ENB's finisher is similar to that of Xenia Onatopp.

            1. hamilton   10 years ago

              oh damn it. Xenia.

  19. Bee Tagger   10 years ago

    Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is campaigning on "family values" while Republican Carly Fiorina touts her feminist cred.

    It's almost like these are meaningless phrases.

  20. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    Per a new federal appeals court ruling, D.C. is permitted (for now) to require people to provide a "good reason" for wanting a gun.

    I wonder who gets to define good?

    1. WTF   10 years ago

      The government bureaucrats, of course. And no reason you can give them is good enough.

      Hey it looks like I'll be traveling to Perth in a couple of weeks. What's to do there?

      1. Woodchipped Buscemi   10 years ago

        Get stuck in traffic, wonder why everything is so damn expensive, and wish you were closer to some decent beaches.

      2. Woodchipped Buscemi   10 years ago

        Also, it is winter time here. It rains, a lot, in Perth from May-September.

        1. db   10 years ago

          It doesn't get too cold though, right?

          1. Woodchipped Buscemi   10 years ago

            Early mornings are chilly. It gets to the high 60's by lunchtime.

            1. Brett L   10 years ago

              Fahrenheit, right? Australia gets hot, but not that hot?

      3. Medical Physics Guy   10 years ago

        We have a Perth too, in fact we had it first, so you should come visit us. It's summer here! But as usual, cold as f**k anyway.

      4. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

        Woodchipped Buscemi is right. I found it massively boring last time I was there. If you have the time, maybe hit the Swan Valley or Margaret's River for booze 'n' food, or Rottnest Island for the quokkas. I quite like Fremantle, which is the port town a few miles away, and is the last resting place of Bon Scott.

        1. Woodchipped Buscemi   10 years ago

          I have a picture of me posing with that statue of Bon Scott in Freo!

        2. Swiss Servator, Holzhacker   10 years ago

          "the last resting place of Bon Scott."

          db goes forth to make a pilgrimage?

          1. Brett L   10 years ago

            Well, now I need it to put next to my SRV statue picture.

        3. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

      5. Rufus J. Firefly   10 years ago

        Did you know it's pronounced Pert? The 'h' is silent. Or Perf if you have a lisp? True story.

        Try it out with the locals.

        1. db   10 years ago

          Is this true or a ploy to get.me beat up?

          1. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

            That damned Canuck Rufus doesn't know the first thing aboot it. It's Perth.

            1. Rufus J. Firefly   10 years ago

              You know, you 'could' play along. Wanted to hear stories of db dealing with Perthians after mispronouncing the name of the place.

              1. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

                I am not having his blood on my conscience

                And db, the vowel confusion is a Kiwi thing. Sandgropers speak normal Australian, except for all the British and Sarth Effrican migrants

                1. db   10 years ago

                  Is "sandgropers" a pejorative deriving from the mining heritage of the Perth area?

                  1. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

                    Not a pejorative, just a nickname for Western Australians, deriving from this

                    1. db   10 years ago

                      Well, you always should be expecting that... one thing Perth / Freo have going for them is two Aussie Rules teams. It's footy season so either the Fremantle Dockers or West Coast Eagles should have a home game on when you're there. I would definitely catch a game if I were you

      Looks like a load of crap. Even if true, 0.6 oz. doesn't seem terribly significant. I would have thought that they would look at birth weights in one of the many countries that is hot all the time too. And it doesn't look like they took air conditioning into account.

        17 grams? When healthy babies are ~3.5 +\- 0.6 kg. they are talking about 0.017kg. Not significant.

          My guess is that they're focused more on military sales and lost out on contracts. Their civilian offerings are fairly weak, which they've been addressing sort of, and expensive, which they haven't.

          I was surprised that they didn't do more for the 1911's 100th anniversary, although this is pretty cool. I wouldn't mind a modern Mustang or Defender to add to the collection.

    Man arrested as teen has waited 7 years in Rikers for trial

    A Manhattan man has spent nearly all of the past seven years locked up on Rikers Island awaiting trial ? a dubious record for pretrial incarceration that is not likely to end anytime soon, experts told The Post.

    Montero, who has spent six years and eight months in Rikers, attempted to get his case tried separately ? while one of his alleged cohorts fights the DNA evidence ? but the judge balked, and his lawyer won't even seek bail for him now because he says it's a lost cause.

    So Montero is still waiting for his day in court, even after 77 appearances in Manhattan Supreme Court before Justice Ronald Zweibel ? and 2,423 days behind bars.

    Goddamit.

      Fire your lawyer (even if it is the PD) and file a speedy trial demand - agree to no continuances, answer ready for trial every time in court. Run the clock out on the DA if they are not ready.

      1. Juvenile Bluster-fka Andrew S.   10 years ago

        Except the way things work in Brooklyn, as long as the prosecution comes to court and claims they're ready, they can get infinite delays after that. His only chance is probably to get a new lawyer, and go to federal court and get a habeas writ.

        1. Swiss Servator, Holzhacker   10 years ago

    "The purpose of this administrative stay is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the merits of the motion for stay and should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits of that motion," the order reads.

    Prison worker who helped inmates escape planned to have them kill her husband before fleeing. She got cold feet at the last minute.

      That is one messed up story....

      I should say that one of the big warning signs that one is involved with the wrong person is that that person plots to kill ex-lovers, family members etc. "Honey, I want to kill my wife and marry you!" should be a huge red flag to run away. Far away.

        It seems like between Harebrained Scheme's success with the Shadowrun reboot series and the fact that there are (despite the whining) a number of women at all levels of software production, if there actually was a strong sex chromosome preference to video games, they should be able to raise the capital to write and produce a game.

        1. Irish Says Enough Woodchippers   10 years ago

          Hardcore gamers are overwhelmingly men. Sarkesian and other feminist critics try to claim the industry is split half and half, but it's only half and half if you count all the women who play mobile games on the subway on the way to work. If someone sits at home playing Skyrim on X-Box, 75% of the time that person will be male.

          RPGs and first person shooters are advertised towards and geared towards men because that is who plays the games. This would be like me complaining that romance novels don't market themselves towards men.

          1. Brett L   10 years ago

            Oh, I agree. The software industry wouldn't pass up a chance to have a multi-platinum hit just because a couple of dudebros didn't want to code a My Little Pony First Person Crafter.

    It's almost 11pm here and it's my 15 year aniversary tomorrow. I haven't a clue what to get the lady who has taken my shit for so long. Any ideas?

    1. Hey Nikki!   10 years ago

      15 years? Time for some crystal! (Or a watch, if you want to go modern.)

      1. Slammer   10 years ago

        Florida Man approves.

      2. Lord Humungus   10 years ago

        Meth?

      Get get her a ball gag.

      And record it so we can all see the reaction.

      1. straffinrun   10 years ago

        She'd assume it's for me.

    3. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

      15 years is crystal, so get her a nice vase she can smash when your shit gets too much

      1. Swiss Servator, Holzhacker   10 years ago

        Smash over his head, right?

          When I was stationed in Orlando, I rented a tiny one bedroom apartment in a very crummy apartment complex. One night, I was coming home from a long day at the base, when the door of a second order neighbor's apartment flew open and a lamp came flying out followed by a man fleeing for his life while his woman screamed bloody murder and all sorts of true threats.

          Of all the apartments I rented in my youth, it was one of my favorites actually.

          1. Florida Man   10 years ago

            I think they closed that base and sold the housing.

      1) Consider a spa vacation for a weekend... for two. It will give you many chances to tell her how much you love her and how wonderful she is. Also, you can get the reservation in half an hour and even if the weekend is two months away, she won't think you underplanned your gift... 😉

      2) What is she into? Doe she have hobbies, particularly past hobbies she gave up because she lacked time. Maybe a gift to help reconnect with them.

      3) Recreate your earlier dates while going out: the ones that made her happy and want to be with you.

      1. straffinrun   10 years ago

        You made me feel guilty coming up with all that on short notice and I've known it's been coming since, well, ever. Thinking cap is firmly fit on over the tin foil now.

    5. sarcasmic   10 years ago

      A potted plant of some sort, like perhaps a rose bush. That way she can enjoy it indoors for a while, then plant is somewhere outside. Then, whenever she sees it, she is reminded of how sweet you are.

      This of course is in addition to getting her some nice things. Sometimes though, its the little things that are remembered.

      1. sarcasmic   10 years ago

        Make sure it's a perennial.

    6. Preet Bharara   10 years ago

      Since it's crystal, a glass dildo would be appropriate.

      1. Galactic Chipper Cdr Lytton   10 years ago

        Geez, do you ever tired of fucking people over?

        1. Preet Bharara   10 years ago

          Meh, it's a living.

    7. straffinrun   10 years ago

      Apart from the dildo and meth (somethings a man has to keep for hisself), thanks for the suggestions. Night.

      1. Preet Bharara   10 years ago

        I do not want to ask why you're keeping the dildo for yourself. Is your nickname Peggy?

    8. Crackers Boy   10 years ago

    So it would appear that alligators are now acting as taxis for raccoons.

    1. Brett L   10 years ago

      This is Florida. Skunk apes are actually sentient raccoons.

      1. Florida Man   10 years ago

        I got scared by a skunk ape(at a camp out) when I was 3. I literally froze in place.

    2. X[redacted]s   10 years ago

      Jesus Christ. The raccoons in my neighborhood already understand how doorknobs work. If one shows up on gatorback, i'm moving to Nome.

  46. The Late P Brooks   10 years ago

    Right now, on FOX (biz) they are hyperventilating about the guy who bought the SWAT van on Ebay. They're showing an ad for a TANK!!!! APC.

    "No civilians should be able to buy this military grade stuff! That's crazy. You should have to get a permit to own the sort of stuff the police use."

    Fuck off.

    1. Galactic Chipper Cdr Lytton   10 years ago

      I watched the A-team as a kid. ANY vehicle can be armored with enough steel and welding tools.

      1. Brett L   10 years ago

        You'D think they'd run out of junkyards full of plate steel and/or keep some of that shit in a trailer.

    2. Brett L   10 years ago

      It didn't save that guy from Dallas. Or the dudes in the tank in California. Seems like the State has no problem asserting its monopoly on violence despite this equipment.

    President Ronald Reagan's biggest secret: He packed heat in his briefcase

    We were talking about Reagan and that day he was shot. Then one of the agents offered this secret: When Reagan was President, he carried his own gun.

    I couldn't believe it.

    "It's true," they said. A .38. Reagan used to hide it in his briefcase and take it on Air Force One.

    1. Florida Man   10 years ago

      I guess I can't call him a hypocrite because it wasn't full-auto.

    Has the federal government ever had sex?

    Law professors Stephen J. Schulhofer and Erin Murphy are trying to update the criminal code when it comes to sex offenses, believing current definitions of rape and sexual assault are antiquated. The focus of their draft is on what constitutes consent. It adopts the "yes means yes," or "affirmative consent" model that was passed in California last year.

    The California law applies only to college campuses, however. Schulhofer and Murphy aim to take that definition of consent ? which says that before every escalation of a sexual encounter, clear and convincing consent must be given ? to the state or federal level. No one actually has sex this way, requesting permission and having it granted perhaps a dozen times in a single encounter.

      Remember that SNL skit from the mid 90s about this and everyone thought how it was so absurd and over the top? Yeah.

      The only point is to have an after the fact gotcha if one party the female so decides.

  50. commodious spittoon   10 years ago

    OT: Cato hosted a set of talks by George Selgin and Kevin Dowd on the topic of central bank stress tests. It's interesting and worth checking out, even as a layperson. Their upshot is to emphasize how anemic, perfunctory, reactionary, and counterproductive the practice is, and that even as feckless and politically motivated as the Fed is in the U.S. it's miles better than Europe's variety.

    Anyway, after ~45 minutes explaining in detail how bad modelling, faulty risk weighting, and an industry teaching to the test resulted in the subprime mortgage debacle and collapse after bank collapse (Dowd describes passing the ECB's stress tests as a "kiss of death" for financial institutions), the moderator begins taking questions. And the very first questioner is some nasally dweeb who first admits that the talks went completely over his head and then proceeds to ask whether profits are the real problem.

    I hate these people so much.

    GoT SPOILER*********

    Stannis may be my favorite book character so obviously i haz disappoint. They wrote him as desperate and suicidal. Everyone knows the Frey army will break through the ice and drown/freeze in the lake by the tower. And why? Because he's a brilliant tactician. Getting caught out in the open with no cavalry? WTF.

      *spoilering continued**

      At the end of book 5 I was kind of thinking John might perma-warg into his wolf, then into a dragon... which I guess could still happen given the divergence between books and shows. However, it seems obvious that the show is setting him up to get resurrected by Melisandre like Catelyn. Thoughts?
