That's pretty lame, Fist.
That's what happens when you rush into the Links.
Technically, the links were on time today.
Well, I don't see you coming up with anything better.
Sounds like a Democrat defending Obamacare.
Or a republican defending Trump.
You guys really know how to hurt a person.

I agree. Terrible.

Hello.

Didn't realize they charged: I've been downloading stuff in iTunes for a while now.
Fist, this attempt was just a Call of Doody

When did she add good as an option?
The White House is urging Congress to bring the Trans-Pacific Partnership to a vote.
Is this another bathroom thing?

Should've opened with that one.
Never open with a show stopper.
Hillary Clinton could yet be deposed in the ongoing investigation into her use of a personal email server as Secretary of State.
And she'll be just as truthful as she always is.

In space, no one can hear you scream the n-word at strangers while virtually teabagging them.
But what about all of the COD players who've had sex with my mother?
Pimply teenage virgins from San Bernardino. Sorry to ruin the fantasy for you.
N-word as in, 'not-good-at-this-game'? Why don't you just come out and say it? It's not that bad.

HOW DARE YOU!?!?

Trump will be the presumptive nominee; and Hillary will be going down.
I've said it before and i'll say it again: Hillary doesn't go down. Which is why Bill always had to stick it in fours.

Elizabeth Warren unleashes Twitter tirade on Donald Trump
Someone's on the warpath.
Her and her cohort's trail of tears won't benefit him at all, I'm sure.
Ahhhh... the crying and whining of people in the major parties over the candidates they don't like winning elections... it's soothing to the ears.
I mean, it's really hard for third party voters or nonvoters to sympathize with these whiners.
"Boo-Hoo!! I only get my way HALF the time!! So unfair!!"
I mean, it's really hard for third party voters or nonvoters to sympathize with these whiners.
It is indeed.
Ahhhh... the crying and whining of people in the major parties over the candidates they don't like winning elections... it's soothing to the ears.
It seems to me, EBS, that there is more than enough schadenfreude to go around.
"Boo-Hoo!! I only get my way HALF 99.99% the time!! So unfair!!"
How
She has no reservations about bashing Trump.
You can say she may want to

scalp Trump.
Trump is bad medicine for the whole of the American tribe.
There isn't enough wampum in the whole world to buy Fauxchahontas' support for Trump.
Warren's spirit animal told her Trump is The Trickster.
Lizzie would love to drive by Trump Tower one night and teepee the whole place.
"Someone's on the warpath."
That's racist.
"That's racist."
And an Irish pretending to be a Native American for the affirmative action and scholarship benefits is what, then? That's at least got to count as cultural appropriation, right?
You're all overlooking the real outrage:
Warren, a Native American, is cultural-appropriating Twitter, which was not a feature of Native American life and was invented by, well, not sure who, but they weren't Native American.
An excellent point. Henceforth, I deem any use of internet technology to be appropriation of white-guy culture.
pasty white-guy culture, TYVM

He was half way thru his subscription; no refund!
Eh, for a while they were perfect airplane reading material. Maxim was too risque and GQ was too...GQ. The writers were quirky and funny, the advertising wasn't too ham-fisted and the magazine didn't take itself very seriously past trend-spotting. Over the last decade it tried to seriously compete with other men's fashion magazines instead of being a quirky outlier and failed badly.
I thought it was for closeted gay guys.
They shredded apart after about three washings.

Clinton says 'whole world' wants her to beat Trump
And people say *Trump* is an egomaniac?!
"I don't know how else to say it: The whole world is counting on us to win this thing. ?.," wrote Clinton staffer Christine Reynolds.
Of *course* you don't, Christine.
"I don't know how else to say it, because the larvae that the Dark Mistress impregnated my cortex with won't let me."
Stargate was awesome. They are cute...
AFAIC, Europeans deserve Trump as much as their American counterparts.
Then send Hilary to China and let her run for office there.
I'm afraid they'd briefly re-instate the One Child Policy and abort her.
Afraid??
Any relation to Diane?
What about Ryan?
It's amazing how delusional she is
The whole world... except Russia!
The link.
Ages ago I suggested Trump for Moscow ambassadorship. He'd get along great with Putin and his cronies.
Plus, might be time to trade up the wife.
She's got "the whole world" in her head.
It's shit like this that could almost make me vote for Trump, if only to keep this power-hungry lunatic out of office. Almost.
Of course, Trump will respond to this as per usual, will be accused of being misogynistic, and Hillary will come out ahead.
Ridiculous.
Hillary was correct when she said that, "The whole world is counting on us to win this thing ..."
Well, not literally correct, since she referred to herself as "us", rather than "me". But the whole world of elites who she thinks worthwhile are indeed counting on her to win. Obviously, the political, economic, and academic elites that Hilary counts as "the whole world" are a big club, and you ain't in it. Those in the club understood precisely what she meant.

But 'John' says that free trade is just corporatist whoring.
OK?
John said a lot of stupid things today, but I don't think he said anything of the sort.
He called the TPP a corporatist trade deal.
No, you see, shreek believes with every undermedicated fiber of his twitchy, unpleasant being that the TPP is a massive blow for the free market, struck by that arch-capitalist Barack Obama.
Is it corporatist whoring to provide proof of paying your bet?
Hola from San Juan - just got back from a snorkeling trip where the captain looked like Bob Marley.

Officer acquitted of battery for attacking disabled military vet for parking in a Handicapped spot
tl;dr: Handicapped vet parks in handicapped spot, officer decides he isn't handicapped enough, questions him, man has nerve to talk back to officer, officer attacks him (knocking his phone out of his hand and breaking it, which any first year law student will tell you counts as battery), jury acquits because officer.
"The prosecutor said Wilson couldn't have been threatened because he never called for backup or arrested James."
The cop can scream in your face and break all your shit, as long as he doesn't arrest you you can't feel threatened by him.
Nevermind, I was an idiot and got the cop and the defendant switched around.
Scumbag cop.
But you repeat yourself.
Can we call everyone an asshole here?
I FEARED FOR MY LIFE!!!
"He immediately started cursing me," Wilson said of James. "I don't think it was warranted."
Cops should be cursed at in every one of their on-duty interactions with non-cops. (I don't necessarily believe Wilson's assertion, anyway.)
If he's got the tag, he's got the right to use the spot.
The cop was in the wrong. Completely. And that's even before he assaulted the victim for using bad language.
Privilege. He's got the privilege to use the spot. And it comes at the expense of *someone else's* rights.

Thanks for doing the extra work to get greasonable working for you again.
I am a little concerned because I am not sure where the problem was introduced. Do you think there is anything I can add to the documentation to avoid that problem in the future?
Thanks.
I don't use that, but thanks anyway because I know a lot of people here find it useful.
Aye
I don't know what it was.
I think it may have been something i did myself by accidentally clicking on the "add as user exclude" button in the Script Settings...which added a "*" as a page-ban to the global user settings
then, no matter what i did w/ new script, it treated all pages as 'excluded'.
Which seems kind of crazy that it would be so easy to mung up that whole extension with one click, but it seems like it might have been.
Uninstalling greasemonkey and reinstalling actually didn't initially change this *(maybe GM retains settings from previous installs? don't know)
I don't even know if that's what it was. I'm not hip enough w/ GM to actually tell you WTF actually happened. I just deleted that "Exclude" from the User settings, and everything ran Ok after that.
Ok, thanks
So how about some news in Links for a change?
EU plans penalties for refusing asylum seekers
Is this some weird "I'd rather be hated than provoke no feelings" play?
Oh, they are just completely insane. Carry on.
And they want to go after countries that elect the "wrong" people.
Gotta love the totalitarianism of the Brussels Class.
Yeah, they push too hard and a lot of countries are going to leave the EU.
I think it would be awesome if the Slavic countries put together their own alliance competing with the EU.
They should have just left it as a single currency free trade/travel zone.
They didn't get to boss enough people around that way.
"There's simply no way around it: whenever a member state is overwhelmed, there must be solidarity and a fair sharing of responsibility within the EU," Commission Vice-President Frans Timmermans said.
So, Frans, how many asylum seekers are *you* taking in?
The Euro, immigration madness, political correctness, seething nationalism, welfare, high unemployment, etc. - it will be the undoing of the EU. From its beginnings to foster trade and fend of American hegemony it has no morphed into a giant Leviathan threatening the sanctity of sovereign states.
They are completely insane.

Earls restaurant to face human rights hearing over failure to provide high chairs
That's right... high chairs are a human right now.
Reactionary bigot/Gillespie.
Yeah, they're telling you they don't want you and your squalling brats disturbing the other customers, not tipping the waitress and leaving a booth/table that takes five minutes to clean of all the spills, cracker crumbs, etc.
Ryan, who was attempting to have a celebratory family dinner while avoiding the cost of a babysitter during the first incident, said holding the child in his lap for the entire meal would be stressful, and that was the case when he decided to stay for the second incident.
Fuck the high chair -- Provide this man with free babysitting!
while avoiding the cost of a babysitter
Yep, that's so typical. Won't pay a teenager a few bucks, won't tip a hardworking waitress, no bar tab, freebies and extras (crackers and crayons), extra cleanup, demands for a special childrens menu...
But, see Tonio, their baby is the most precious thing ever, and everybody else will love their little poop-machine as much as they do, and his cries sound like music and can't possibly bother anyone, and the parents support raising the minimum wage so that the wait staff won't need to rely on tips.
Tribunal? Sounds even more fucked up than Iran.
On his radio program today, white nationalist leader David Duke celebrated Donald Trump's "amazing victory" in the Indiana primary, which allowed him to become the presumptive Republican nominee for president, hailing Trump for terrifying wealthy "Jewish extremists" and exposing the "Jewish supremacists who control our country."
Trump, who earlier this year briefly refused to reject Duke's endorsement, has been a favorite of white nationalist leaders like Duke, who predicted that the GOP presidential candidate will rehabilitate the image of Adolf Hitler.

"Clinton has yet to address the unexpected new endorsement"
Wait, you mean Clinton has REFUSED TO DISAVOW WILL QUIGG?! OMG THIS IS SUPER MEGA PROOF THAT SHE WAS A RACISM ALL ALONG!!
Duke is a freaking idiot.
"I'mma stop the wealthy Jews from taking over America by endorsing the man who's daughter is a wealthy Jew!! BEST PLAN EVER!!"
"briefly refused to reject Duke's endorsement"
I actually think Trump did the right thing there. So a media agent says a random person who they assure you is a racist has endorsed you and ask you to, right then and there, disavow that person. If I was put into that position, I'd want to at least Google the name before disavowing. It's not like the media /constantly/ overblows non-racist incidents and people and brands them racist.
Duke is pretty well known, and Trump has indicated previously that he knows who he is.
Also the reporter mentioned the KKK, do you talking have to Google them to know if they are racist jackasses?
There's even lower life than David Duke? people who don't provide proof of repaying their wagers.

I just read the quoted part Mazakon posted... the reality isn't much better for the Libertarians.
Because...according to Cato, 91% of libertarians reject the label!!!
You could have gone so many ways:
We've got 99 Libertarians, but [insert person here' ain't one.
99 Libertarians on the wall.
99 Liberballons.
Etc.

Wow, Jay-Z and Nena equally applicable to a libertarian joke.
What a moment this is.
I never thought it would happen, I feel quite the same.
Between 7 p.m. Tuesday evening and noon on Wednesday, the Libertarian Party received 99 new memberships. For the same time period a day earlier, the LP received only 46 new memberships.
LOL... Paul is not far off...

That would put you around 3% of your calories coming from carbs. There is no need to be so extreme. The only thing that matters is calories in versus calories burned. Whatever your surplus/deficit determines your fat growth/loss.

Medical Errors Are Third Leading Cause of Death in the U.S.
Yay! We've cured many diseases and made automobiles safe!
I'd have to know more about what they count as medical errors.
Anecdotally, that number is way high, though. I see every medical error death in our rather large hospital, including the ones with poor care coordination, and its nowhere near that high.
They define medical errors as lapses in judgment, skill or coordination of care; mistaken diagnoses; system failures that lead to patient deaths or the failure to rescue dying patients; and preventable complications of care.
I'm sure there's very high variation from hospital system to hospital system, but having had parents on Medicaid, the number doesn't completely shock me. My dad ended up dying last year from sepsis stemming from an improperly treated simple UTI.
There's a lot of wiggle in that definition, especially "system failures that lead to patient deaths or the failure to rescue dying patients".
I can think of a couple of patients off the top of my head who did not have family, but who we put DNR orders on (legally). Would that be a failure to rescue dying patients? Sometimes we let patients die naturally on purpose, and not as an error of any kind.
"System failures" could mean anything, and to call them "medical errors" is expanding medical errors from, essentially, failures of clinical skill and judgment to include, say, a poorly set-up electronic medical record seems a stretch.
And the other thing is how much time the patient spent in the hospital. My wife was going to die eventually, from something related to her diabetes, but technically she died from some infection she got in the hospital. But, if you have enough surgeries and other procedures, eventually you're going to catch something. And if she was dying anyway, should her death be classified as a medical error?
Her family certainly thought so, and wanted to sue the hospital. I knew she was dying anyway, and was grateful to the medical community for the life extension they had provided, and the comfort provided by the hospice/end of life staff.
Anecdotally, that number is way high, though. I see every medical error death in our rather large hospital, including the ones with poor care coordination, and its nowhere near that high.
Speaking from a small amount of personal experience, let's hope that you actually do see every medical error in your hospital, and some biddy from Risk Management isn't round-filing them.
Risk reports to me.
Is this because deaths due to medical errors are going up, or because deaths due to everything else are going down?
Because barring a sudden outbreak of immortality, people do have to die from something eventually.

My younger sister had one. She cut it's hair and drew on it. My parents are still unhappy.

The doll weighs like 300 pounds?
I am so offended by this product. People die from this shit, and alot of it is preventable. You have to assume that the girls who want this doll probably have a parent who is diabetic. We should spend more effort to encourage people to take care of themselves, rather than to normalize a horrible disease that can often be controlled by not being an out of shape fat ass.

The Space Libertarian Party?
"Game over, man!"
So I was checking the DC elections results and I found that the best LP performance was 11% in a straight fight for a open Council seat in a bad year for the Democrats. Veritable libertarian moment I tell you!
Libertarian memento mori
Well, it is DC, which is a hotbed of statism. Also a hotbed of ignorance; I'm sure that many of those votes were cast by extremely low-information voters who were merely voting for "none of the above."
Interesting that it seems to be the only city that the LP is trying to gain a foothold. Lots of DC libertarian think tankers there. Also getting power in the Capital would be quite the coup and a way to show that libertarians aren't a bunch of racists.

Sure, but you must already have above a certain level of popularity. Then you can play around with marketing strategies than hinge on fan action.

I would for both his wife and his mistress.
Who knew Ed Henry had that kind of game?
A court in Italy rules stealing food isn't a crime if you really need it.
That's an attack on fat people.

What's next, ruling that rape isn't a crime if you are really horny?
Cue Louis CK
Something doesn't have to be a crime to be illegal. Decriminaliz'n is not the same as legaliz'n.
Ew. Just...ew. Ew. Helping Soon-Yi is the greatest joy of my life and she's given me huge pleasure: Woody Allen opens up about his marriage, how he ignored the tabloids and why he likes Miley Cyrus
So he's going to get Soon-Yi to adopt Miley Cyrus and then...?
OK! OK! I'll look at the goddamn pictures of Caitlyn! Just don't ever put "Woody Allen" and "huge pleasure" in the same sentence again!
Her full name is Soon Yi Be Too Old For Me
I am not drinking heavily enough to read that.

"Henry then responded by sending his own emojis - three unpeeled bananas and three pairs of female lips.
Lima responds with an 'Lol' and three female emoji lips.
Henry shoots back; 'yummy woman,' 'make me so,' and then once again sends emojis of unpeeled bananas, this time upping the number to four. "
This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.
I'm hoping Kasich makes an announcement he's filing a lawsuit against Trump for spreading the false rumor that he's withdrawing from the race.

Just in case any of you want to read that.
Crusty wou- wait a second.
Is that when you try to understand something by divining a used tampon?
Like gutting a chicken?
I bloody well see what you did there.
Justice Department just said that North Carolina is in violation of Title 7 of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, barring discrimination on the basis of sex.
So, I guess, constitutionally speaking, your sex is whatever you say it is? This is going to be an interesting road to go down...
(Yeah, no way this isn't challenged up to the Supremes. I mean, at some point, a definition of sex must be legally determined)
So male and female bathrooms and all-men or all-women sports teams are discriminatory?
North Carolina is in violation of Title 7 of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, barring discrimination on the basis of sex.
So they've decided to just skip over legislating gender into the protected classes, and have redefined "sex" to mean "gender"?
I'll be curious to see which Reason writers support this (skipping over legislation can be a good thing when it comes to amnestying illegal immigrants) + (we should expand public accommodations because equality).
I thought that Libertarians were principled? Need to avoid that subpoena...oh wait.
I mean, at some point, a definition of sex must be legally determined
A quick scan of the EEOC site shows they have already redefined sex as gender. How this reconciles with transgender folks, who by definition have a gender identification that does not align with their sex, well, who knows.
So what was all that Equal Rights Amendment crap about in the '70's if the 1964 Civil Rights Act had already barred discrimination? And why were all the people who kept saying the ERA would ban separate men's and women's bathrooms scoffed at for making up absurd shit because nobody could possibly believe that's what it would lead to?
Good to see the Justice Department has lots of spare time and staff.
Looking forward to that Hillary indictment tout suite.
sex certainly is not subjective. Gender is.
I've been away the last two weeks, and today's AM Links was a nice way to reacquaint myself with this place. The digression about litter was particularly entertaining.
digression == nice way to say apocalyptic shitstorm.
WHAT?! This is an outrage. How will I send my packets to Casablanca by Biplane *now*? Don't tell me i'm going to have to go by steamer again.

Obama sips water in Flint, tells residents it is safe
Of all the pathetic self-promoting publicity-milking acts Obama engaged in over the years, i find this one ranking amongst the most pathetic.
That is just...
Pitiful.
Idiot government in Flint forsook the water of Lake Michigan for their river. And for that, they were punished most grievously.
Seriously, what idiot chooses alternate water sources compared to the Great Lakes?? Lakewater is the best.
Lakewater is the best.
I've never had tap water from a lake source that didn't taste a little off.
Well water FTW!
$20 says it wasn't actually Flint tap water.
[checks article]
Yup. "Filtered" Flint tap water =/= Flint tap water.
all politicians should be forced to drink nothing but unfiltered tap water and send all their kids to the worst public school in the area
Is he gonna drink a glass each day for the next 5 years? Cause that's how lead poisoning works.
He did, Many years ago. Can't you tell?

Sentenced for "maximum penalties for attempted murder and unlawful termination of a pregnancy".
Well, at least they didn't charge her with murder because the fetus died.
I would have been okay with the first baby death ('sup Casey Anthony), but the second one is a step too far. How dare you!
That's some Helter-Skelter-level insanity right there.

Army Captain Sues Obama for Not Getting Declaration of War From Congress
I am interested (yet not optimistic) in what results the lawsuit will have.
The first AUMF gave the president the clearance to wage war on anyone around the globe at any time indefinitely.
So a declaration of war from Congress isn't a constitutional requirement, it's just window dressing for the President's unilateral decisions. Got it. Thank's for clearing that up Mr President.
Yesterday in the thread about Hunter Osborne the kid who flashed his peen in the yearbook I commented

Fox News could not independently confirm Lazar's claims.
I heard this earlier today, it's too bad there's no hard evidence he actually did, beyond his verbal claim. Hackers do love them some notoriety so it might be all sound and fury, signifying nothing.
If I had hacked Clinton's email server, it'd have set up a rule to forward a copy of every email to WikiLeaks and several choice reporters.
His hacking tools consisted of a desktop computer, a cellphone, an internet connection and lots of patience and persistence. He used the simple technique of finding personal information about his victims online and then using this to guess the correct answers to security questions.
By the way, this always cracks me up. It's tempting to believe that they're doing some kind of hollywood shit, but so many people answer common security questions with common answers.
Again, at some point it crosses from "you got hacked" to "you got dumbassed".
Social engineering is the best way to hack someone.
Yep.
No one's ever gonna guess that my password for everything is *S*E*X*G*O*D*.
