OMG!

They better find a way to shoehorn Bill Shatner in there somewhere.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

They’ll have Priceline commercials, and maybe a roast or two…

[Brett L]

Maybe the new Enterprise can visit “The Clangers” – a stop-motion kids show he narrates for the Sprout network. It’s amazing what you can sell ads with. A couple of puppets, a claymation backdrop and a tin whistle. And The Shat.

[Fist of Etiquette]

While the original series will always be special because it had Shatner, I will agree with Shackford somewhat in that DS9 really got good with its war arc.

[Heroic Mulatto]

I will agree with Shackford somewhat in that DS9 really got good with its war arc.

DS9 was the series that had the best acting. Perhaps in part due to the fact that as a less episodic series, longer running arcs gave the actors something to bite into.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Besides Shatner, you mean. RIGHT?

[Brett L]

Chewing the scenery doesn’t count

[LynchPin1477]

DS9 was the series that had the best acting.

Um, Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, and Johnathan Frakes would all like a word. And there is a line behind them.

[Bodica Slayer of Woodchip]

You’d think Scott would have picked STTNG since it was the first series to ponder same-sex marriage.

[The Last American Hero]

And of course, they are in line behind Scott-freaking-Bakula, but that which is understood need not be discussed.

[some guy]

The war arc was probably the best thing out of all the Star Treks, but TNG had Patrick Stewart and the guy from Reading Rainbow.

[Ted S.]

TNG also had Deanna Troi.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

If we’re talking fap material…

Seven of Nine and the vulcan on Enterprise

[Sapient Mulch]

Oh yes! You mean Jolenbe Blalock. Yum.

[Sapient Mulch]

Jolene, dammit.

[MJGreen - Docile Citizen]

Maybe they can bring him in to solve the problem in every episode, as Nimoy did in the new movies.

[Crusty Juggler]

I want to know if Janeway ever re-married.

[Idle Hands]

yes good question, Voyager was always the best edition.

[Idle Hands]

yes good question, Voyager was always the best edition.

[some guy]

A double wrong is still wrong. No one liked Voyager.

[The Last American Hero]

Was that the one with Jar Jar Binks?

[Sapient Mulch]

SHE WAS NEVER MARRIED IN THE FIRST PLACE. CANON.

“In a sign of what television programming has become, it will be available through CBS’ digital subscription streaming service”

Since I am never going to pay extra for another goddamn “subscription streaming service”, good luck with that CBS.

[SusanM]

Shoehorn Berman, Braga and Taylor into a woodchipper – just to be safe/

[Bee Tagger]

In a sign of what television programming has become, it will be available through CBS’ digital subscription streaming service.

Did they all of sudden change target demos?

[Fist of Etiquette]

The producer of The Godfather has landed the rights for Atlas Shrugged and is planning a miniseries version of the novel.

I knew it was you, Dagny.

[Crusty Juggler]

I am disappointed that it was not Robert Evans, as I was hoping he would narrate the film. Now I want Robert Evans to narrate the film.

[GILMORE?]

“Now I want Robert Evans to narrate the film.”

As He did with God’s Audio-Biography

[Crusty Juggler]

That is exactly what I was thinking about.

[GILMORE?]

Great. Minds.

[some guy]

Didn’t someone just do this a few years ago? Didn’t it suck?

[Atanarjuat]

They did movies, not a miniseries. And if we can have a new Spiderman every 2 years, why not a show no one will watch?

[d3x / dt3]

He’ll make the viewers an offer they can’t understand.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Is there anything that CAN’T be done with an executive order?

[Rich]

Make a rock so big Obama can’t pick it up?

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Make a rock so big Obama can’t order someone to pick it up?

No way he’s picking anything up himself.

[Suthenboy]

It is good to be king.

[juris imprudent]

Is there anything that CAN’T be done with an executive order?

Divorce obviously.

How you get rid of a teacher:

“Alabama calls Teacher of the Year unqualified; she resigns”
[?]
“In 2013, Ann Marie Corgill was Alabama’s Teacher of the Year. In January, she was named one of four finalists for National Teacher of the Year. On Friday, she quit teaching.
Why? Because Alabama now says she is unqualified.
Local and state administrators flagged Corgill, a 21-year veteran of grade 1-6 classrooms, because she was teaching fifth-grade when, according to them, she only had the credentials to teach up to third-grade and needed to acquire additional certification.”
http://www.sfgate.com/educatio…..605674.php

Note the comments are all directed at the ‘dum Alabamans’, not the government school bureaucracy.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

You can’t make this shit up. And my kids are smack dab in the middle of it.

[Mrs. Lemuel Struthers]

Dude, home education. Just do it.

[Scarecrow & WoodChipper Repair]

Kids would be as qualified as that teacher!

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

I live in the best district in the state, and I pay 5 figures a year in property tax. My only solace is that once all 3 of my boys are in school, I’ll finally be a drain on the system.

I never come out ahead. This is my one chance.

[Ted S.]

And my kids are smack dab in the middle of it.

The big one finally hit and put Manhattan Beach on Alabama?

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

You know what I mean. The public school idiocy.

I initially intended to get involved when my oldest started kindergarten. I volunteered for exactly one day before I couldn’t take it anymore.

[Ted S.]

Oh, I knew what you meant, but was joking as much as everybody else here does.

[Chinny Chin Chin]

Whoa, hang on:

there are jokes here?

[Mrs. Lemuel Struthers]

Funny? Funny how? Like a clown funny?

You think we’re here to amuse you?

bang, bang

If only she’d gone to a Normal college.

[BiMonSciFiCon]

The producer of The Godfather has landed the rights for Atlas Shrugged and is planning a miniseries version of the novel.

I am sure it will be very well done and critically acclaimed.

[VG Zaytsev]

It will be reimagined with Dagny, D’Anconia and Rearden as a wrecker super-villains thwarting the inevitable Utopia of the Socialist States of America

The Environmental Protection Agency claims Volkswagen cheated deisel emissions regulations not just on its cars but with some SUVs as well.

And what’s worse, the new Beetle’s engine was never rear mount.

[Suthenboy]

And apparently doesn’t work very well. Of all the vehicles I see sitting on the side of the road broken down half of them are beetles.

The modern version is everything the original wasn’t.

[Mrs. Lemuel Struthers]

But, would you?

Dunham that is.

[Crusty Juggler]

I do like my potatoes lumpy and tattooed.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

She doesn’t have enough DUIs for you. But she probably has just the right amount of restraining orders.

[Crusty Juggler]

It’s not her embarrassing lack of DUI’s that turn me off, it is her outspoken kiddie diddling ways I find unappealing.

[Mrs. Lemuel Struthers]

Well, she can instruct you on the proper way to insert pebbles into a vagina, so there’s that.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

By pebbles, you mean softballs?

[Sapient Mulch]

Wait. There’s a “proper” way?

[Trouser-Pod (The blowhard)]

Speaking of shows about young women with loose-bordering-on-non-existent morals, my girlfriend showed me Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23 this weekend. Highly recommend it. Come for the nude scenes with Kristyn Ritter, stay for the laughs. And I’m pretty hyped for Jessica Jones now (because I like Ritter as an actress, not because of the possibility of more nude scenes…but also maybe for the possibility of more nude scenes).

[Citizen X]

The B—– is pretty funny. James Van Der Beek as a sociopathic version of himself is an excellent touch.

[MJGreen - Docile Citizen]

And the possibility of actual nude scenes.

Not that I expect Marvel to do it, but it’s at least possible on Netflix.

I always heard good things about Don’t Trust the B, but never checked it out. And right now, You’re The Worst is the more pressing, underseen sitcom I need to watch.

[Mrs. Lemuel Struthers]

Casual on Hulu is sweet and funny.

Trump will negotiate such great debate rules, you’ll get sick of them! Wait…

Donald Trump and his advisers have decided to work directly with television executives and take a lead role in negotiating the format and content of primary debates, which have become highly watched and crucial events in the 2016 race, according to Republicans familiar with their plans.

Trump will reject a joint letter to television network hosts regarding upcoming primary debates drafted Sunday at a private gathering of operatives from at least 11 presidential campaigns, the Republicans said.

[Jerry on the rocks]

A crossover between Miss USA and Celebrity Apprentice? Will Jeb Bush finally get his silver tiara? Will Chris Christie sell the most cupcakes or eat them all? Will Marco Rubio win the car wash challenge using cheap Cuban labor? Will Lindsey Graham have the best turn on the catwalk?

I didn’t need to see the actual list to know it was bullshit. They claimed they were going to out 1,000 KKK members.

Let’s ruminate on that a moment. One Thousand members of the KKK.

Yeah, not a chance in hell. Having lived in Stone Mountain, Georgia, home of the ginormous monument to the Confederacy and long ago shrine to all things KKK with my then wife and life-long African American I can tell you unequivocally that the Klan is long since and well and truly defunct. They have trouble getting together 12 people for a rally, let alone having some database of a thousand members that you could crack.

Back in the early 90’s when we moved out there we used to go to a huge country bar up in Kennesaw, now a suburb but back then the sticks where people openly flew the confederate flag in their front yard. We never once had anyone look at us even sideways. And that was before GA 400 brought the suburbs to the area, along with prosperity and a million immigrants from Latin America.

No, Anonymous doesn’t have a list of a thousand Klan members. Not a chance.

The best they might do is hack the Southern Poverty Law Center’s database and come up with a list of a thousand white supremacists from various little groups around the country that they are tracking. That’s the only way you are going to find anywhere close to a thousand names that you could use for such a list. And you certainly aren’t going to find any real politicians joining such groups. Not today.

President Barack Obama is ordering federal agencies to wait until further in the hiring process to make potential federal employees reveal any criminal background to give those who have records a potentially better chance of getting hired.

*dusts off Treasury application*

[Bodica Slayer of Woodchip]

What difference does it make if it’s at Step One or Step Fifty One? How does this give someone a “better chance”?

[Notorious UGCC]

I think the idea is that to automatically exclude everyone with criminal records, at the initial screening stage, denies them a chance to explain themselves and show the holistic picture of how the positive parts of their background outweighed the negative.

[Zeb]

Which honestly doesn’t sound like a bad thing. Especially given the stupid bullshit you can get a criminal record for.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

I’d prefer that they repeal some laws instead.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Correction: Most laws.

[Zeb]

Of course I agree with that. But I don’t think that is on offer at the moment.

[Bodica Slayer of Woodchip]

Except, Obama isn’t doing this because he wants to give qualified people a “chance”. He’s doing this for publicity – he’s the original SJW. The King of SJWs.

He forgets – as you forget – those federal employees work for US – the American taxpayers. In the private sector, if you hire a thief out of the goodness of your heart, and he steals again, you pay the consequences.

There are no consequences to Obama for this decision. If he makes the wrong hiring decision – oh, well . . .too bad. He just skips out to his new home in Hawaii or Chicago. He is long gone.

The delay gives more opportunity to have your record expunged.

A French governmental television network fires its most popular weatherman for asserting that global warming might have benefits to offset its costs..

There’s general agreement in the comments under the [video where he announces that he has been fired] that France T?l?visions have shot themselves in the foot with this. He’s the most well-known face among TV weathermen, and he isn’t even a climate sceptic. All he’s done is write a book critical of the political and commercial use to which warmism is being put, pointing out e.g. how IPCC vice-president Jean Jouzel commands monster fees for giving greenwash talks to major companies.

[Suthenboy]

France? Is this a prelude to his prosecution?

Another bold proposal from Bernie Sanders 2016 Tonight:

We are going to fight voter suppression in all forms. If you are 18 years of age, you will be automatically registered to vote.

In Southern Australia, a huge blackout, for reasons that aren’t clear to me, the automated systems or dispatchers controlling the power grid in Victoria ordered “load shedding” that dumped their power supply to the neighboring grid. As the only power plants the South Australian grid could turn to to make up the shortfall were windmills and solar power plants, and it in the very early AM and there was no wind, the grid collapsed.

They do, but there are a significant number of people who live at home who need 24/7 electricity for their survival. For example, Christopher Reeve, needed a machine to breathe for him but lived at home.

I think every electrical utility has a program where people who are in that sort of situation register and get a higher degree of service.

[tarran]

One aspect is that those people are supposed to get notice of outages so that they can switch to backup power.

The Environmental Protection Agency claims Volkswagen cheated deisel emissions regulations not just on its cars but with some SUVs as well.

Oh noes.

[John]

And the difference between the actual emissions and the standard are probably less that 1% of the emissions of a pre 1973 car. The problem is the standards not that VW came up with a way to cheat them.

[Brett L]

The important thing, John, is that they’ve discovered a new revenue locus as Big Tobacco dies off.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Oh yeah. They’re looking at fines that are higher than the retail value of the cars…

[John]

Clearly, looting the company and putting hundreds of thousands of people out of work and depriving millions of consumers of the products they prefer is the proper response to this.

To be fair, it’s not clear consumers prefer these cars, since consumers were absolutely defrauded here. I know some who are pissed. They wanted clean cars and thought they had them.

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

Yeah, I think they have a right to be. I leased a diesel VW and feel somewhat annoyed but diesel cars are still better than gas from an emissions perspective. I just don’t want VW tinkering with my car.

[John]

No they aren’t Rufus. They put out particulates which are worse than what gasoline engines put out, unless you belief that CO2 is sinful.

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

More lies I’ve been told!

[John]

If they “wanted clean cars”, your friends are morons who don’t understand the science of air pollution. If they are stuck fixing the problem, leaving them with dog slow diesels, in order to pass the state emissions inspections, then I feel for them.

I haven’t heard what the states are going to do. If you don’t live in a state that has emissions testing, just throw away the recall and enjoy your car. If you do and they don’t demand proof of the fix, throw away the recall and enjoy your car. If they demand proof, you have been defrauded.

If you don’t need proof but want the fix anyway because you want a “clean car”, you are fucking moron who deserved to have your money stolen.

[Just say Nikki]

I don’t think there is a “just deserts” clause in the NAP.

[John]

No Nikki, but there is an “aggression” part. And unless the state demands they get the fix, these people are not hurt. They only think they have been hurt because they are morons.

The liability for GM’s ignition problems that directly led to quite a few deaths were passed in their bankruptacy to the legacy GM.

THERE’S A NEW STAR TREK SERIES COMING!

AND YOU CAN BET IT WILL ALSO FEATURE A COMPLETE LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF BASIC ECONOMICS!

There is no fun in fantasizing about United Federation of Planet budget cuts to Star Fleet Command and various contracting and fiscal law rules. If money is an issue, it is a pretty lame fantasy.

One of the junior Mises people should write a Star Wars vs. Star Trek econ book explaining why SW is so much better using a standard Principles of Economics textbook.

Star Wars seemed pretty anti-capitalist to me.

[paranoid android]

Star Wars seemed pretty anti-capitalist to me.

What makes you say that? Is it the “Ewoks as the fuzzy-wuzzy Viet Cong” thing? This is a series where one of the principle protagonists is a smuggler, mind you.

[Lee G]

Maybe it had to do with The Phantom Menace and the evil Trade Federation.

But yes, you’re right, Star Trek was Arthur C Clarke’s wet dream of a technological communist society.

[MJGreen - Docile Citizen]

The problem with that is that nothing the Trade Federation does makes any sense. So it’s hard to know if they’re an evil corporatist cabal, or a “free market” business that built an army and goes around occupying planets.

[Knarf Yenrab!]

Star Wars acknowledges scarcity, greed, and incentives.

ST has Picard giving stupid commie speeches about how the New Federation Man has abandoned money and possessions as icky bourgeois relics.

[paranoid android]

I have no illusions about Roddenberry’s politics, but I’m mostly willing to let Trek slide on that stuff for two reasons:

1. Capitalism is in essence a prescription for dealing with the reality of scarcity–but the Federation is clearly a post-scarcity society. I don’t think it’s a situation where that kind of analysis can really apply.

2. Later editions of the show (and most prominently DS9) allowed room for differing takes on the subject, including the revelation that the Federation has a paramilitary unit that basically amounts to its own version of the KGB. It didn’t really grapple with the notion as thoroughly as it should, but showing that there was a darker side to all the moralistic puffery was a good addition.

[Zeb]

I always figure that Star Fleet just isn’t representative of society in general. Why would you assume that it was?

[VG Zaytsev]

Me too, I took it as a military adventure series.

[Zeb]

Maybe neither is supposed to be a statement about the relative merits of various economic systems. Not everything has to be deep social commentary on every subject.

[Knarf Yenrab!]

Supposed to is irrelevant. Entertainment and art that strikes at an emotional level has a far greater impact on culture than policy wonks, which was the point of Rand’s whole schtick as a novelist. When you normalize something through art, you lead the hoi polloi by the nose toward it.

[OneOut]

the hoi polloi ?

[John]

“Junior Misses”? That would be a pretty deep book for a teenage girl.

[In League with the Dark Ones]

Except for the part about how individual planets each produce one good and if one planet is captured by Separatists, the Republic has lost all of its supplies of that good.

[Unreconstructed (Sans Flag)]

Yeah, the economic silliness of Star Wars barely exceeds the military silliness.

[Raven Nation]

I’m pretty sure it does not have many fans here as a series, but I thought Babylon 5 did a pretty good job representing space-faring humanity in terms of economics, human nature, etc.

[Trouser-Pod (The blowhard)]

Well, count me in. I bought the series earlier this year, and I agree with your analysis.

[LynchPin1477]

I love Babylon 5. Unfortunately it never had the budget or cachet to attract the best acting talent, and it’s ambitions in the SFX department exceeded contemporary technology by a few years (it got better in the second half of the series). But as a story it’s top notch.

I’m not usually into reboots, but for B5 I’d make an exception. It would be great to see it done with production quality to match the quality of the overall story. The hard part would be finding someone who could capture both the realism and the sense of optimism of the original rather than simply taking it down the “dark and ‘edgy'” route.

[Cyto]

Best use of an Amiga and a Video Toaster ever!

[LynchPin1477]

And to your original point, completely agree. It’s one of the most realistic depictions of what a space-faring future might look like in many ways and was ahead of its time in that regard.

[Trouser-Pod (The blowhard)]

JMS has continued to have a lot of love for the series, and has tried to keep it alive through the tele-movies.

That said, it definitely would take an outside financier/backer to re-boot it, but I think Straczynski(whatever) would jump back in were that to happen, and he created and maintained that whole arc and most of the side stories.

“We must have a violation of the law to make arrests as the fire was legal, the consumption of alcohol was on private property, and no one had stated anyone made threats of violence acts to the deputy at that time,” Garfield County Sheriff Jerry Niles wrote in a statement on Facebook.

“The Constitution of the United States guarantees certain rights including the right of speech,” he continued. “It doesn’t say the speech has to be in good taste, of common sense or that we have a consensus of agreement.”

Meister, the woman who reported the incident, was particularly upset that authorities could not stop the offensive behavior.

“We are a small community, and in no way do I feel this represents our views as a whole,” she told Enid News. “It is upsetting due to the fact that we live in a community with families of different ethnic backgrounds, and this is a symbol of hate and intolerance.”

OK, I’m not surprised that some officious twit wanted the cops to bust some heads for speech she disagreed with. I’m just shocked the cops didn’t take the opportunity.

[esteve7]

Star Trek economics actually steathily libertarian:

Oh, you mean we got rid of scarcity, great now we live on these rich planets with everything, and you can do what you want because we can just replicate everything and have unlimited energy

So Socialism will only work in Star Trek, or once Technology has eliminated scarcity, so until that happens, STFU

Bill Gates: We need centralization and innovation to stop climate change

It is too bad that some woman who wasn’t an ignorant socialist would have decided it was worth it to put out for Bill. Gates isn’t this stupid. His wife apparently is that stupid. And he seems to be letting his dick to his thinking these days.

[Zeb]

Being smart is no guarantee of being right. Plenty of very smart people are also ignorant socialists.

Often people are very smart at one or two things only. Gates was good at technical stuff from what I have heard. And knew how to build a software company, apparently. But that is no guarantee of any kind of good sense in any other area.

Putin’s scepticism dates from the early 2000s, when his staff “did very, very extensive work trying to understand all sides of the climate debate”, said Andrey Illarionov, Putin’s senior economic adviser at the time and now a senior fellow at the Cato Institute in Washington.

see?

[GILMORE?]

‘skepticism of CC was the equivalent of denial’

….

… yet the core issue is not that people are “skeptical” of any specific facts = its that a large number of people – including climate scientists – don’t think the policies claiming to “fight” Climate Change have any actual value and do more harm than good.

Both sides have all the same basic facts = the difference is that a lot of people don’t believe there’s any use trying to change them.

The Politico article states that two out of three prisoners are arrested within three years of release. But, as Radley Balko notes, recidivism statistics are likely to be grossly inflated.

While Politico quoted Sen. Ted Cruz and a prosecutor as opposing the early release, neither are quoted on the record as mentioning Willie Horton. The introduction of Horton into the modern debate about criminal justice reform appears to be Politico’s own contribution.
