Nate Silver says he is happy to have been wrong about Donald Trump's chances.

Not sad, then?

Glad!

[Rufus The Monocled]

Hello.

"President Obama says "there's never been a man or woman more qualified to be president" than Hillary Clinton."

Now we have proof he's a liar. Who fucking says that? Oh right. A guy who believed 'police behaved stupidly' in the Skippy affair, Trayvon coulda looked like one of his imaginary sons, drew a red line and threatened to throw the UK to the back of the queue.

What a leader.

[Hyp's Brexit Butthurt Lotion]

I'm very convinced at this point, that if Obama says anything, it's very likely that the opposite is true.

[Atanarjuat]

Hillary = the least qualified to be president? That does sound a lot more likely.

[thrakkorzog]

I would say that that the kid cleaning toilets at the local Taco Bell might be be less qualified. OTOH, that kid never actively took part in destabilizing the middle east. Or compromised national security in order to avoid oversight.

Seriously Hillary Clinton is into negative qualifications.

[Cyto]

That's not remotely fair.

Obama was manifestly unqualified to become President. He had no real experience of any sort, other than campaigning and making speeches.

But Hillary? She was part of the President's team of advisers during the 90's. She has been a Senator who actually was involved in a few things of a legislative nature. She was Secretary of State....

That's a pretty decent list for "I wanna be the President".

Sure, she doesn't have "was commander of the army in an important war" on the resume. That used to be the big qualification. Well, that or at least having a good war story. That and being a Governor were the two biggies. She doesn't have that either. But Secretary of State, Senator, Senior Presidential Adviser, worked on the McGovern campaign, was on staff for the Nixon impeachment....

I don't think you can claim "most qualified ever" with a straight face, but she is certainly just as qualified as anyone else holding the office has been, at least by the normal political standards.

Now, she also has some uniquely disqualifying items in her CV. But that's a different topic...

[thrakkorzog]

Except her involvement in the 90's consisted of Hillarycare. So she was probably more responsible for the Republican Revolution, and the Republican takeover of congress than Newt Gingrich and his contract with America.

And after that, she was a Senator who didn't really put forward any bills, but she was a vocal proponent of going to war with Irq. Then as Secretary of State, She had the Russian reset, and she just just got us into one fucked-up situation after another.

She has the Sidam touch. (It's the reverse Midas touch.) Everything she touches goes to shit.

[cavalier973]

Sidam or sadim?

[Lorenzo Zoil]

To be fair, the qualifications for being President are, citizen and 35+. Period.

Now, HRC has experience in manipulating government and media to her purposes. There does not appear to be much else there. Thus may very well be the most corrupt candidate in our history. So, ya, I'll take the cashier at my neighborhood Circle K over her on qualifications.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

Well, that or at least having a good war story.

She has a GREAT war story ...

See: Bosnian Snipers, presidential ashtray catapults, travel office firing squads, etc.

[lafe.long]

Who fucking says that?

Well, Nick said it earlier today.

[greasonable]

Now that I see Obama said it, I am more inclined to think that Nick's comment was an echo of that, and therefore closer to sarcasm than sincerity.

[Ted S.]

"President Obama says "there's never been a man or woman more qualified to be president" than Hillary Clinton."

My cat, however, is far more qualified to be president.

I agree, that is an important attribute in a proto president

[Mickey Rat]

Obama thought he was qualified to be president, so consider the source.

[ant1sthenes]

He's basically telling Democrats they fucked up in 2008.

[Scarecrow & WoodChipper Repair]

Notice he's including himself in the category of people less qualified than Her Royal Clintonness. For once he's got something right -- he didn't deserve to win in 2008.

Game off! Why the decline of street hockey is a crisis for our kids

It's not just street hockey that's disappearing from Canadian streets. It's kids, too.

One reason played out last autumn on Esgore Drive, a wealthy but otherwise typical street in suburban north Toronto. ...

But Esgore Drive is precisely where a bylaw officer threatened to ticket a group of children for playing ball hockey.

This kind of thing happens all the time in Canada. In 2010, a 10-year-old and his friend were threatened with a ticket for playing hockey in the street in Calgary. In 2014, more than 500 people signed a petition against a Montreal-area bylaw after a father was fined for playing hockey outside with his son.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Toronto is determined to drive hockey players away.

[Atanarjuat]

I guess raising a generation that couldn't defeat the Nazis is the official goal in both our countries.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Sorta OT: I had dinner with a higher-upper in minor hockey in Quebec. He was telling me how the Francophones and non-Francophones are always (politely) arguing about players. The Quebecers feel there are too many "ethnics" and need to add more French players - even if they suck. He was telling the problem is the majority of inscriptions are non-Francophones. French kids aren't enlisting in great numbers. But that doesn't stop them from getting all prejudicial.

In Ontario, you just don't hear that kind of talk.

[Atanarjuat]

What do they consider "ethnic"? Eastern Europeans?

[Brett L]

English speakers.a

[Rufus The Monocled]

Anyone not with a French name.

Yes, they do still exist.

It's byfar the most insular province.

The Nordiques are going to le suck.

[Ted S.]

Bettman doesn't want to move another team to Canada if he can avoid it.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Second team in Toronto at best.

Quebec City doesn't have enough corporate sponsors. It's shitty because obviously there's support for hockey pretty much everywhere in Canada - it's just that corporate backing is necessary. Just because you will come doesn't mean it's viable as a business.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

"Just because you will come doesn't mean it's viable as a business."

Phrasing?

Also, why Rufus' whore house failed.

[Trigger Warning]

Robotic rectum may improve prostate exams

Although there are plastic models used to train doctors and nurses to perform prostate exams, they are not realistic, and finding volunteers for training can be difficult because of the nature of the exam.

Doctors in England have created a robotic rectum, pairing it with 3D imaging software, to give young doctors and nurses experience performing the exams -- which are based entirely on a doctor feeling the prostate with a fingertip -- and could make doctors better and exams more effective

[RBS]

Didn't someone already post a sexbot story in the AM links?

+++finding volunteers for training can be difficult because of the nature of the exam+++

I bet "rectal exam practice volunteers" is an interesting bunch.

[Chipper Morning Wood]

My friend is a doc and he tells me his friend missed this lab and had to make it up later. On the professor. And he had to do it multiple times, so the prof felt sure he was doing it right. Actually quote:
"No, no, you have to do a full 360 swipe. I only felt you go 3/4th of the way around."

[Pay up, Palin's Buttplug!]

I have family and friends who are hairdressers and in dentistry. Students in those industries often practice on friends and family or prisoners.

I imagine the "rectal exam practice volunteers" come from a similar set?

[Don'tTreadOnMeChipper]

We just cruised the halls of the VA Medical Center. After the shit they've been through, volunteering for an 'educational' rectal exam is a piece of cake.

[Brett L]

I would rather be ruled by some random asshole from the closest prison if I must be ruled by criminals who are just bad at crime.

[Atanarjuat]

I would probably rather have a random jailbird too, but bad at crime? The Clinton Crime Family have amassed hundreds of millions and committed but never been punished for rape, statutory rape, graft, corruption, maybe even treason. That's pretty successful.

[Brett L]

I guess you don't have to hide if you're that successful, but she is a horrible liar. Or maybe just doesn't give a shit.

[Bill Dalasio]

Why should she give a shit? She got caught dead to rights and the government itself is saying "What difference, at this point, does it make?".

[mad.casual]

IDK, I would expect some fallout ahead, right?

At least, it seems like bad things always happen to cronies and extortionists when their clientele finds out that the FBI, hackers of any given nationality, and pretty much anyone else under the sun could be has been looking through your emails. Not that anybody's gonna wake up with a severed horses head in their bed, but it seems like the sort of thing that would make it hard to do business reasonably with the clients you've got, let alone attract new ones.

[Derp-o-Matic 5000]

Well, George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, the Adamses, and Eisenhower were all whitecisheteropatriarchiez!!!!, so clearly they weren't qualified.

[Domestic Dissident]

Someone needs to remind me one more time exactly what her greatest and most noteworthy accomplishment in life is, besides being sort of married to Bill Clinton, and getting elected to the senate, which many doofuses have pulled off.

[Derp-o-Matic 5000]

There was, um, the kinetic military action in Libya....you know, the one that Obama recently described as the worst mistake of his presidency...Also, she apparently traveled to more countries than any SoS ever, which is apparently supposed to impress people.

Oooh, I know! She and her husband accumulated a fortune of over $100 million over the past 15 years, despite receiving a government salary of a measly few hundred grand a year during that period.

[Paulpemb]

"She apparently traveled to more countries than any SoS ever"

So the key point about the Colorado university isn't that the conversation was recorded, that's just the way the evidence of misconduct was gathered. Here is the actual misconduct:

"In the recording of that meeting, Parks warns the professor that if he expresses his opinion about transgender identity in class, it could be perceived as discrimination under Title IX and Title VII. Parks also mentions how such discussion could possibly result in investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

""It's not ideal, it's not perfect, it doesn't fit into what you like to do," Parks says, asking the professor to avoid discussion of the topic. "But if we go back there again, we have another discussion, and a student perceives it that you're again saying a personal opinion, I've got three investigators, and you and I are wasting a ton of time, and they have to talk to every student in your class. So if the topic's worth that, it's your call.""

This is a case of gay rights - specifically, rights possessed by gays though not limited to gays - and the right in question is peaceable assembly. The BLM people violated that right.

This can't be the same BLM which put up useful databases on police discipline procedures, can it?

Probably different people.

Air Force One: Donald Trump Criticizes Use of Presidential Aircraft for Hillary Clinton Campaign Event

"Taxpayers are paying a fortune for the use of Air Force One on the campaign trail by President Obama and Crooked Hillary," Trump tweeted Tuesday. The White House said all regulations were followed.

Sheridan, Indiana: Driver in July 4th Parade Displays 'Lying African' Barack Obama Float

Don Christy, a 73-year-old Sheridan resident, claimed ownership of the float, which contained a figure of President Obama inside a toilet. The parade was organized by The Sheridan Lions Club.

[mad.casual]

Don Christy, 73, Sheridan, told The Indianapolis Star he drove the golf cart in the parade. He said he didn't fill out an entry form. He said he lined up with other floats at the high school parking lot and was waved along when the parade started.

"I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Republican," Christy said. "I'm a patriot."

Now, unlike the 22-yr.-old gender-queer flag-burner, this AFAIK, was novel and required at least modicum of planning and forethought. Not to mention all the 'Fuck You Sheridan' it appears to have garnered on social media.

Most Canadians were likely unaware of Black Lives Matter Toronto's activities before the Pride protest, Pone said. But he cautioned that the group may want to temper its actions in the future, because over time, people may tire of such disruptions.

basically, the spin by the writer is "We celebrate BLM whenever they do this random shit, because we hope it will make them go away when we praise them and congratulate them on their "Awareness Raising".

"but if they do it again, we'll point out the obvious"

Oh, and did I mention that I can't even stand the sound of his voice?

He needs "someone who knows how Washington works", and someone who has a clear record of success against the Clintons. Newt Gingrich or a random trashy woman from the bad parts of DC are the only people who meet those qualifications.

He's thinking that having a natural-born whip as his veep will bring a large part of the GOP establishment to heel.

Newt is a smart, loudmouthed attack dog who can play bad cop, which is what the_donald needs when he transitions to big-tent good cop for the general.

[GILMORE?]

Newt is politically savvy, very smart, and articulate.

He appeases the GOP people who want someone who's got genuine Bona Fides as a partisan 'doer'.

Trump's blustery, all-over-the-map rhetoric suggests nearly zero concern with policy.

Newt is a policy wonk.

Newt basically fills in lots of gaps that Trump has as a candidate without getting in his way. I've been saying he's a perfect match for trump for months.

[Libertarian]

Yeah, I get that, but I just think he'd do better by picking someone more original. I don't see him pulling in many independents with Gingrich. As I said above, I think he should make a big deal of "asking" the convention delegates to pick his VP. I can see a lot of plusses from that tack.

Cute Shit Happened

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

We support Hillary Clinton, which is why we're disappointed that Comey didn't just say the FBI won't indict. Why did he have to give a long commentary about how shady the whole thing was? And now allow us to use the media watch-word "unfortunate" that Diane Reynolds brilliantly pointed out last week:

Some Democrats will grumble privately ? they already are ? about Comey's commentary, even as they publicly celebrate the announcement that Clinton is effectively in the clear. Some Republicans will assert, without justification, that it shows Comey somehow taking a dive for Clinton; it took no time for Donald Trump to tweet that the outcome represented further proof that "the system is rigged."

Actually, it showed evidence of a system under stress ? a presumptive nominee facing criminal jeopardy; an investigation conducted under the tense deadline of an impending election; an inevitable cloud of partisan distrust made even darker by the unfortunate tarmac meeting last week between Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

[Brett L]

an investigation conducted under the tense deadline of an impending election

Which started in 2013. Maybe if her lawyers hadn't insisted on sorting and deleting all of her "personal" emails first, it would have gone faster.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Exactly this. We're technically already under the tense deadline of the 2020 elections.

[Bubba Jones]

Or the Dems could have nominated someone else.

[GILMORE?]

That editorial was mostly "on the one hand X, and on the other hand Y"

It ends up praising comey for his political independence

Comey proved his independence during the George W. Bush administration when, as deputy attorney general, he headed off White House officials' hospital room efforts to convince then-Attorney General John Ashcroft to reauthorize a domestic surveillance program. On Tuesday morning, Comey proved the point again. He is no team player, which in this setting is no criticism ? it is a high compliment.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Maybe I'm being too harsh on the editorial position that not bringing charges "was the correct choice".

[GILMORE?]

Yeah, that part is sort of a given.

I was just saying that your gloss on it seemed to suggest they were additionally miffed by his lambasting her "careless behavior", when it seems it was actually cheering it as "balance".

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

No you're right. They seemed to believe that Comey's editorializing was "helpful to the electorate" as kind of explainer. Which confuses me even more. Let's not indict her, but let's point out all the crimes she committed.

Argument Over Hummus Turns into Gunfight

Yesterday, my truck wouldn't start while I was driving indepence pass. Its done this a few times, if it's warm it wI'll crank and turn over, then die when I try to give it gas. So while letting it cool off (my only solution so far) I filled up with my two gallon jug.
Those infernal contraptions on the new ones with the spring and air breathing tube. The spring wouldn't compress correctly, and it took about 10 minutes to get a gallon and a half into my tank.
Was that something the EPA madated?

Amazon has you covered.

[DOOMco]

Life saver. God those things are a pain.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

[DOOMco]

That is my fear. I was hoping it was just a filthy carb. Cleaned that last night best I could while still on the truck.

[DenverJ]

Couple of things:
If one of your sensors is out, many vehicles switch to default settings which are for sea-level, which Independence Pass sure ain't.
Second, does it happen to be an older Ford? Because, that is exactly what happens to older Fords when something goes out. I can't remember what it is, now. If you reply that yes, is an older Ford, I'll look it up.
It's a computer thingy mounted above the driver's side front fender. Costs like $20. Used to carry around a spare for my '79 Bronco. Think the ignition system had similar issues all the way into the 90's.

[DOOMco]

Old toyota 2f motor. I just redid the timing on it, but should have run a compression test. I set the carb for 5000 ft, thinking most of my driving is in Boulder county. I should probably switch that to 7 or 8k.

[DenverJ]

Yeah run the compression test, but by "redid the timing" do you mean that, among other things, you changed the timing belt? I'd double check that. Just being off by a single tooth can make the engine hard to start.

[DOOMco]

Yeah, I will pull the cover off tonight and make sure I'm aligned.

[notJoe]

Also could be a dying fuel pump (at least if it's electric) -- my truck acted the same as yours on Floyd Hill. A tankful of cold gas helped, but the pump died completely a few weeks later. If you truck's pump is electric, borrow a fuel pressure gauge from your local auto parts store.
