Asteroids are the likely source of water on the Moon.

Space fracking will ruin that asteroid water.

[Lee G]

Ice Pirates are already on it.

[BiMonSciFiCon]

Not sure what the co-ed Battlestar Galactica bathrooms have to do with it.

[Tonio]

You laugh, but the gaiafreaks are already whining about how planetary exploration is "ruining" supposedly pristine sites.

[Rich]

To be fair, those golfballs on the moon made us a galactic laughingstock.

[Chipper Morning Wood]

That brings up an interesting question. Is humor universal?

[Rich]

Let me answer that question by posing another:

Do women have a sense of humor?

[AlmightyJB]

Yes, they're just not funny

[TheZeitgeist]

You try hitting 4-iron in a Michelin Man get up. Galaxy laughs either way.

[Tonio]

I believe the Apollo 11 landing site has been named a National Historical Site by the US Congress, but I don't know about the sites for the other landings. The golfballs were from Apollo 11 (Alan Shepherd), and I don't know whether they travelled outside the boundaries of the NHS (if any).

[R C Dean]

How does Congress have authority to name anything outside the US as a national historical site?

[DenverJ]

Same way the U.S. could invade Panama to arrest Noriega for breaking U.S. law:
Because FY,TW.

[BigT]

Apollo 14. Feb 4, 1971. Shepard shanked his first swing and then hit one about 200 yds.

[Jayburd]

He probably won a proposition bet.

[Jayburd]

200 yds. into a water hazard.

[Mickey Rat]

Do you think Alan Shepherd gives a damn what anybody else thought about that?

[Pope Jimbo]

You laugh shitlord, but I'm sure the exogorth that got one of those damned golf balls stuck in its blow hole wasn't laughing!

[Hyperion]

I think the media has already called the guy a southeast Asian Trump.

They probably won't be regional enablers of each others' worst tendencies. Not at all.

UCLA went on lockdown during an apparent murder-suicide, but police say the campus is now safe.

Isn't it a gun-free zone in a background check state?

[Pay up, Palin's Buttplug!]

Well, it's a stand your ground? and pursue state.

[Rich]

Cue the calls for common-sense gun control.

[Doctor Whom]

Don't worry. The reality will be rewritten to fit the narrative. It always is.

[NYC2AZ]

What California really needs is another law moar gun lahzzzz!!!

[Suicidy]

That gun free zone is a magic force field, right?

[Fist of Etiquette]

UCLA went on lockdown during an apparent murder-suicide, but police say the campus is now safe.

SWAT has driven back to base, so, yeah, now safe.

[DenverJ]

Um, murder-suicide kinda leads one to believe that they were safe before the lock down.

On the twitters? Because that's where you level those kind of charges. Social media.

[TheZeitgeist]

Only belatedly did Hillary's team realize @nothillaryclintonsecretwitter missed the point of Twitter.

Afraid of her reaction, Hillary's team did not inform her until two sprints into the next epic.

Gary Johnson says he stopped using marijuana to be "knife sharp."

So then it sounds like the two major parties will need to draft Ben Carson's belt buckle to stop him. REMEMBER THAT STORY?

(((Echoes))), Exposed: The Secret Symbol Neo-Nazis Use to Target Jews Online

Neo-Nazis, anti-Semites and white nationalists have begun using three sets of parentheses encasing a Jewish surname ? for instance, (((Fleishman))) ? to identify and target Jews for harassment on blogs and major social media sites like Twitter. As one white supremacist tweeted, "It's closed captioning for the Jew-blind."

The origins of the symbol ((())) can be traced to a hardcore, right-wing podcast called The Daily Shoah in 2014. It's known as an "echo" in the anti-Semitic corners of the alt-right ? a new, young, amorphous conservative movement that comprises trolls fluent in internet culture, free speech activists warring against political correctness and earnest white nationalists. Some use the symbol to mock Jews; others seek to expose supposed Jewish collusion in controlling media or politics. All use it to put a target on their heads.

[IndyEleven]

Is this like that secret logo for pedophiles that toy companies put on toys? So many secret symbols when you know where to look!

And I'm pretty sure ((())) has something to do with bbw.

[Injun, as in from India]

Dipsh**s be dipsh**ting.

[waffles]

I'm suspicious. I'll hold out until Reason's resident alt-right expert (looking at you Robby) weighs in on it.

[Chipper Morning Wood]

)))Winston's mom(((. She is tired.

[Heroic Mulatto]

I wonder if they still do that with Melania (((Knauss))) Trump, Ivana (((Zelnickova))) Trump, Ivanka Trump (((Kushner))), and Lara (((Yunaska))) Trump? Or did they all earn their Ehrenarier card from their willingness to carry Trump seed?

[Slammer]

Damn. Those cards must have been worth a lot of money.

The Daily Shoah

I haven't recalled this for years, but back when Yahoo! News allowed comments, I would post as Shoah Me the Money. It really was the wild west back then.

Quick, somebody call Robert Langdon to verify this.

Solid gold, diamond-encrusted eagle statue worth millions stolen in Ladner

Delta Police are looking into the robbery of an 18-pound, solid-gold, diamond-encrusted statue in Ladner, worth about $5 million according to the statue's owner.

Sgt. Sarah Swallow says the heist occurred "on the street" Sunday night in the 4700 block of 57th Street. The owner, Ron Shore, suffered minor injuries, was treated in hospital and released.
Ron Shore

He said the eagle had been on display for four days at the Art! Vancouver exhibit and was in transit when the theft occurred, while it was being loaded onto a vehicle.

"I struggled as hard as I could and yet wasn't able to prevent the robbery," Shore said.

Probably should have invested in some armed guards, or seomthing, sheesh.

[Juvenile Bluster]

The cop who shot Corey Jones in West Palm Beach has been charged with manslaughter and attempted first degree murder.

I cannot begin to figure out how he was indicted for *attempted* first degree murder when the guy died.

[Juvenile Bluster]

Whoops. Forgot the link.

Also, this was apparently part of the recorded conversation. The cop should've been charged with first degree murder just based on this:

According to the transcript included in the charging documents, Raja asked Jones several times if he was "good," before transitioning to demanding he put his hands in the air.

Raja: You good?

Jones: I'm good

Raja: Really?

Jones: Yeah, I'm good.

Raja: Really?

Jones: Yeah

Raja: Get your f***ing hands up! Get your f**king hands up!

Jones: Hold on!

Raja: Get your f**king hands up! Drop!

Then, according to the documents, Raja fired three shots in rapid succession, prompting an AT&T call center operator who had been on the phone with Jones as we waited for the tow truck to exclaim "oh my gosh!" Then, 10 seconds later, Raja fired three more shots.

Prosecutors say that Raja then called 9-1-1, about 30 seconds firing his last round.

[Winston]

Well it worked in Canada.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

So they can throw it out on a technicality?

Duhhh!

[Juvenile Bluster]

Actually, this is apparently the answer. It still doesn't make any sense.

"Oh, the first five shots, he was really trying to kill him with those. But the shot that actually killed him? Totally not on purpose."

The State Attorney said that five of the shots fired at Jones are attempted murder, but the single shot that killed him was due to negligence for various missteps they say Raja took before and during the shooting.

[Hamster of Doom]

That's amazingly blatant.

[Mad Scientist]

I'm sure anyone who fired 6 rounds into a guy on the street would get the exact same charge.

[invisible finger]

I cannot begin to figure out how he was indicted for *attempted* first degree murder when the guy died.

That is the logic the judge will use to rule "not guilty". See Illinois.

Survey: More than half of corporate CEOs prefer Clinton over Trump

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

Therein lies an irony. The left loves to rail against CEO pay (where the average salary - around 300k I believe - is far lower than the gazillions they think CEO earn), but Democrats do get their 'fair share' of support from them, no?

[Catatafish & Woodchips]

Crony capitalism, how does it work?

[waffles]

How does it work?

[Catatafish & Woodchips]

It "works" really hard to not. 😉

[Juice]

Salary does not equal total compensation. Usually it's not even half.

[kbolino]

Given that the non-salary compensation for CEOs is mostly made up of stock, which is to say unrealized gains, it's kind of immaterial. The conflation of stock with pay is disingenuous.

Obama: Prepare to Flee Climate-Caused Hurricane Devastation

[Clint Eastwoodchipper]

After 6 years of giving Obama everything he wanted and allowing him to do anything else, the GOP Congress is ready to?

Too lazy to click the link. Does the WSJ say this, or is that a John statement? Because it's utterly retarded.

Yup, "6 years of giving Obama everything," such as...

Carbon taxes/cap-and-trade
"Card-check" legislation
Gun control
Higher spending, more taxes to pay for it
Immigration reform, which is why Obama went the "pen and phone" route
Subsidies to health insurance companies, which is why the administration illegally dispersed the money
Paid sick leave bills
Ban on fracking/oil drilling/natural gas
Approving Merrick Garland or some SC nominee

I suppose screaming "GOP CUCK FAGS SURRENDER TO BLACK GUY" is easier for conservatives/Republicans/Trump supporters.

[John]

I guess I missed all that. I was paying too much to

$10 trillion dollars in national debt
An illegal and worthless deal with Iran
Complete discretion to rewrite and enforce Obamacare as he wishes
Every single judge and cabinet appointee Obama wanted
Full funding for Obama's make sure people in the suburbs live next to poor people HUD program
An illegal war in Libya
Ignoring and selectively enforcing immigration law
Reading Title IX to cover transvestites
continuing to use the IRS to target conservative groups, (yes that is still going on and no one has paid any price for doing it)
His crony capitalist TPTP

Yeah, they have really showed Obama who is boss.

[BigT]

You forgot the worst - no debt ceiling

[John]

And letting the EPA regulate CO2. I forgot that one. They funded that and let Obama do it because he might have vetoed the spending bill and that would have been bad.

[Clint Eastwoodchipper]

John, you're exactly right about all of that. But it could be worse still.

That doesn't mean pretending the GOP Congress is like Pelosi and Reid controlling Congress makes it true. The Repubs suck, but there are people who could suck even worse (better?) than McConnell or Ryan.

[John]

Every single judge, sans the SCOTUS appointment. They are still confirming judges today, six months before the election. Those worthless mother fuckers should have never confirmed another judge after they took the Senate. And now they are going to be all tough guys with Trump.

Fuck them. They are worthless fucking leaches, every single one of them.

[Cytotoxic]

And the problem? They are completely right to confirm judges with Clinton about to become president.

[You Sound Like a Prog (MJG)]

So they haven't impeached him. That's "giving him everything he wanted."

[Catatafish & Woodchips]

It's really an asinine statement. The GOP are hardly ushering in a glorious era of drastically reduced government but to say they've just rolled over for Obama is absurd.

[Clint Eastwoodchipper]

It's really an asinine statement. The GOP are hardly ushering in a glorious era of drastically reduced government but to say they've just rolled over for Obama is absurd.

Yeah, ^this^.

I'm not defending the Repubs, but they're just mostly incompetent and/or scared of a black president (and his media worshippers).

But RepubCons like Rush Limbaugh love scaring the hell out of their supporters and whipping them up into a frenzy even it means spouting bullshit about the GOP "actively helping" Obama.

It's like how if you don't vote for Trump, you're for Clinton. Because the GOP obviously owns your vote.

Backwards logic.

[John]

Sure other than spending and borrowing, judgeships, cabinet appointees, enforcing the law, holding anyone in the administration accountable for any misconduct no matter how serious, and illegal wars they were all over the guy.

What do you have? Oh, they didn't try to unconstitutionally ban and confiscate everyone's guns. Yeah, that totally means they didn't roll over for him.

[Catatafish & Woodchips]

I completely cede the point on spending, John, although one could argue it would've been higher had Obama had his way completely. I don't think it's fair to say the GOP has just opened the door for all judicial appointments as I believe there are still over 50 being held up, including an Associate Justice. Congress has no constitutional authority for "enforcing the law" and these illegal wars are illegal because Congress failed to authorize them. Barring voting to impeach him on these things, I don't see how the massive executive overreach committed by Obama in half the things you've listed is on the GOP's head.

[DenverJ]

Barring voting to impeach him on these things, I don't see how the massive executive overreach committed by Obama in half the things you've listed is on the GOP's head.

But impeachment is really the only way to force a president to respect the Congress's prerogatives. You can argue that, for political reasons it was better to not impeach Obama, but by making that decision, Congress share responsibility for every illegal action that he has taken.

[You Sound Like a Prog (MJG)]

1. Republicans like spending.

2. Spending IS lower than otherwise thanks to the sequester. Don't bait Shrike to get involved here.

I can't either, John. But they wouldn't pledge to shoot "every" journalist. Only the other guy's journalists.

- knife-sharp? as opposed to "knife"-dull? its sort of redundant, lame, and less potent than "razor". ""I'm taking Ritalin and overloading on Ginko Biloba for MY campaign!! FUCKING YEAH WHERES THE VOTERS I GOT ALL THESE FUCKING IDEAS COMING OUT OF MY PORES"

Speaking during a press conference on Tuesday, Duterte, who was elected in a landslide on May 9, said: "Just because you're a journalist you are not exempted from assassination if you're a son of a bitch." He was responding to a question about a reporter who was shot dead last week in Manila, the capital. He went on to say that many journalists who have been killed had "done something," such as accepting bribes, that justified their deaths, or were corrupt.

And really, people shit their pants over Trump. This is how people have done politics like for-ever.

People want to pretend that the West is just one strong-man from becoming a totalitarian dictatorship, but the fact is that we've mostly let it happen already by gradually undermining institutions that protect liberties. Trump OR Hillary wouldn't even need to pass any new laws to have their own federal police-state. Its already here, its just that we use different marketing to fool ourselves its different.

[John]

Pretty much. The only thing that worries the pants shitters in the media is that Trump isn't one of them. He might actually use the powers of the police state on someone who matters. And we can't have that.

[Hyperion]

I think that Trump is too unpredictable for them. They can never be quite sure what he's going to do and I don't think anyone knows.

Hillary, OTOH, is the most predictable person in politics, she will drop her drawers for a dollar any time of the day, and there will be scandals on top of scandals, and they all know it. They know exactly what to expect from Hillary, which makes them feel secure.

[John]

Yes. There is no danger she will ever change anything or go after someone who matters.

Rikers Island: Man Spent 5 Months at New York Prison Without Knowing His Bail Was $2, Lawyers Say

Aitabdel Salem was to be released from Rikers in late 2014 after being arrested on assault charges but was not released until April 2015 due to dollar bails on two minor offenses, his lawyers said.

[Hyperion]

Who the fuck would even make the bail $2?

[DenverJ]

There were two bails of $1 each. I suspect it's some sort of technicality, like "selling" a car to your nephew for $1. There is some reason they can't give a PR bond, but the offense is so petty that they'd rather make it easy for people to bail out, to save the beds for more serious offenders.

Obama Goes on "Myth-Busting" Tour To Pump Narrative

Obama attempted a nearly line-by-line takedown of claims Republicans have made about his policies holding the economy back. He dismissed those GOP voices as "anti-government, anti-immigrant, anti-trade and let's face it, anti-change."

"My bigger point is to bust this myth of crazy, liberal government spending," Obama said. "Government spending is not what is squeezing the middle class."

Obama and his aides have long signaled frustration that as the economy has improved, the public's perception of his decision-making hasn't tracked the same trajectory. Obama brushed off his opponents' refusal to give him credit as a symptom of their decision early on to reflexively oppose all of his ideas.

Sub 2% GDP growth, low-employment participation, decline in home-ownership, stagnant wage growth, etc..... these are all explained by Racism.

Stovall Middle School: Arrest Warrant Issued for Houston Teacher Impregnated by Student, Police Say

Teacher accused of sex with teen student turns herself in

Prosecutors said Alexandria Vera, 24, had a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old student. Vera is an English teacher at the school, and the eight-grade student was in her class, officials said.

The pair's relationship apparently had the blessing of the boy's family, according to court documents.

Race-Pandering Politician Tries to Artificially Lower College Costs = Gets Called Racist

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) ? A North Carolina lawmaker who proposed to slash tuition to just $500 a semester at five public universities that serve mostly blacks, American Indians and the poor says he is scaling back on the idea after running into mistrust and skepticism so fierce that he was called a racist.
...
For weeks, administrators, faculty members, students and alumni have warned that the drop in tuition revenue could damage the institutions. And they said they didn't trust assurances from the Republican-controlled legislature that it would make for the lost funding with up to $70 million a year.

Others warned that a rock-bottom tuition of $500 would look bad and cheapen a degree from the schools involved.

Apodaca says his goal was to make college more affordable and boost enrollment.

They need to prove it's addictive. And they won't, because they can't.

[John]

The legalization proponents overlooked a basic fact that District Attorney Brauchler's comments make clear ? you will always require money to purchase pot, whether it is legal or not, and it is that need to acquire currency to procure the addictive drug that is a primary driver of marijuana-related crime.

So a county DA with absolutely no proof or explanation claims that legalized marijuana is causing crime because the desperate dope fiends are robbing to get money to buy the stuff and this guy takes that and runs with it.

Both tobacco and alcohol are as addictive or more so than pot. Why don't we hear stories about people committing crimes to buy tobacco or alcohol?

Why does this subject always make people retarded?
