"Clinton aide links Trump campaign to Russian email hacking
[?]
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) ? Hillary Clinton's top adviser said the FBI is investigating Russia's possible role in hacking thousands of his personal emails, an intrusion he said Donald Trump's campaign may have been aware of in advance. "
http://www.sfgate.com/news/pol.....965859.php

Maybe if he hadn't run them through someone's Best-Buy service in the hall closet?

[Rich]

Hillary Clinton's top adviser said the FBI is investigating Russia's possible role in hacking thousands of his personal emails, an intrusion he said Donald Trump's campaign may have been aware of in advance.

IOW, he's saying Donald Trump's campaign may *not* have been so aware.

[R C Dean]

Why is this a news story? Its a nothing:

Hillary Clinton's top adviser said the FBI is investigating Russia's possible role in hacking thousands of his personal emails, an intrusion he said Donald Trump's campaign may have been aware of in advance.

We don't know if the Russians hacked the emails, and we don't know if Trump knew in advance. Umm, duh?

[grrizzly]

Somehow I don't enjoy it at all when they stoke the anti-Russia hysteria. What's their line? The Russians are hacking everything everywhere with the sole exception of Clinton's emails on the server in her basement, right?

[OneOut]

Just recently all Russian government employees that have children studying outside of Russia to bring them home. Now. Even it is mid semester. they were told that if they didn't that it would have consequences on their job.

They were also told that if they have parents living abroad they they should try to get them back in Russia ass well.

They pubic reason given for this is National pride. Russian spirit ya know ?

If that's the true reason then what's ther rush ? A few more weeks won't materially affect Russian patriotism overall ?

Are they getting ready for war ?

[Stormy Dragon]

Remember how on sunday, suggesting your opponent should be the subject of a criminal investigation was an outrageous suggestion that only a wanna-be dictator would make?

[Suthenboy]

The person in question is already subject to criminal investigation long before Trump came on the scene and only a halfwit thinks the FBI did not bury her crimes.

Has Trump threatened to subject any of his other political opponents to criminal investigations? Sick the FBI, the IRS etc on his political opponents? Can you think of any other presidents who have done so?

I'm beginning to think Yoko Ono is a bit of an attention parasite:

Yoko Ono, "I had an affair with Hillary Clinton"

"We met many times during the New York Vietnam War protests in the 1970's, and became very intimate. We shared many of the same values about sexual equality, fighting against the authoritarian, patriarchal, male-dominated society we were raised in" she explained.

"We had a brief romantic fling when I lived with John in Manhattan and Hillary was studying at Yale, but eventually we lost touch. I am amazed how things are going well for her and wish her the best for her campaign" she told reporters during the press conference.

[Playa Manhattan.]

Gross. And gross.

Yoko has always come across to me as a nasty person.

[Rufus The Monocled]

She's gonna outlive The Beatles.

[Groovus Maximus]

And her son Sean Lennon, I wager. Julian, hopefully, will outlive them all.

[That's A Bingo!]

Millennials: Who's Yoko Ono?

[Rich]

An old lady whose artistic accomplishment was breaking up the Beatles.

[Brett L]

I really think John deserves more credit for being an insufferable bastard before he got with Yoko.

[Square = Circle]

Paul too. The film of Let It Be is a good illustration of why they were going to break up with or without Yoko. John and George must have gotten migraines from rolling their eyes so much. "All I'm saying is, listen, lads . . ."

[Stormy Dragon]

As Penn Gilette once said, The Beatles was really a metaphorical love affair between John and Paul, and when they broke up the band was over.

[Groovus Maximus]

This is normally reserved for Weld, but definitely applies here.

[Ted S.]

"We're Sending Our Love Down the Well"

Now that I think about it, that's actually a pretty impressive piece of performance art! Kind of hard to top that!

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Beatles Fans: Who's Yoko Ono?

/Answer - a non-person who broke up the band

[Trigger Hippie]

Some girl from a song played by the classic rock band Barenaked Ladies.

[Chipper Morning Wood]

It's the song Hillary played for Huma on their first date. Little did Huma suspect that Hillary was being literal.

[Playa Manhattan.]

"We shared many of the same values about sexual equality, fighting against the authoritarian, patriarchal, male-dominated society we were raised in"

She's obviously confusing Clinton with someone else.

[Unicorn Abattoir]

They do have something in common - both of their voices make me cringe.

[BakedPenguin]

Dear Christ, yes. Which makes me believe all those speeches were political garbage traded for influence. Who, in their right mind, would listen to that harpy's shriek for more than 5 minutes?

[Rufus The Monocled]

There is no micro-aggression big enough.

[Hyperion]

Well, I mean after being the wife of a former Beatle, and now... how else does she get any attention?

[Crusty Juggler]

She used to pose nude, like a real celebrity.

IIRC, her family has several billion dollars before she married one of the richest men in England and inherited a good chunk of their catalog royalties.

"We had a brief romantic fling...eventually we lost touch..."

But Yoko never forgot how warm and sweet a kiss from a cyborg could be. Every moment apart became a nightmare -- no relief could be found in art, bed-ins, or Beatles money. Her music was her only outlet -- the shrieks and howls, resembling those of a sodomized cat, were not brave artistic decisions, but cries of anguish for her beloved Clintbot.

[Rufus The Monocled]

She liked Hillary's DEMONIC LIZARD TONGUE.

[Trshmnstr isn't Michael Hihn]

Forked for feminine pleasure.

Hey, if the cyborg looked like a teenage Angelina Jolie in Cyborg 2....

It appears that the media shitshorm over Gary Johnson has passed, except for this:

Gary would pick white guys for Supreme Court

Turley is regarded as a "longtime civil libertarian," and has argued as a lawyer in favor of polygamy and against the death penalty. Though generally considered a progressive, he has stated that the Supreme Court too often injects itself into partisan politics. For example, he has said that "It is hard to read the Second Amendment and not honestly conclude that the Framers intended gun ownership to be an individual right." He also testified in favor of the impeachment of President Clinton. Additionally, he states that he believes the individual mandate of "Obamacare" violates the Commerce Clause of the Constitution.
Campbell is a former Republican U.S. Congressman. Campbell clerked with Supreme Court Justice Byron White after graduating from Harvard Law School.

[Hamster of Doom]

"We don't pay SCOTUS appointees to think, pal."

[PurityDiluting]

Which media outlet picks up and runs with the "argued in favor of polygamy" aspect of his pick first?

[Hamster of Doom]

Whichever cottons on to what WOMEN-HATING SAVAGES Johnson-Weld have always been known to be, but clever managed to hide the proof until today. Until today!

[Derp-o-Matic 5000]

I have pretty mixed feelings about Turley, who struck me as being too focused on coming up with clever soundbites and appearing on cable news while I was at GW, but I would agree that he's a decent advocate for civil liberties and fairly critical of the Obama administration. I'd argue he's more of a liberal than a progressive. You could certainly do worse than him (like, for instance, pretty much anyone Hilldog would nominate).

An old lady whose artistic accomplishment was breaking up the Beatles.

See? You can't be wrong all the time.

[robc]

Thought from a recent (multiple times) discussion on here:

I have decided most over-rated rock star is Eric Claption.

Not that he isnt great, my previous argument was that The Beatles may be both the best band ever and the most overrated. But I think its Clapton, and mainly because he needed another genius to bring out his greatness: Duane Allman, Ginger Baker, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck.

On his own, he had talent but was missing that special something.

Fire away.

[robc]

I apparently went to the John school of spelling in that post.

[Crusty Juggler]

The most over-rated will forever be Springsteen. The E-Street Band carries his good songs, like Rosalita, 10th Avenue Freeze Out, etc.

The Beatles too, of course, but that is mostly because that's what happens when you are the de-facto "best ever."

Clapton is up there, though. Dave Matthews and Green Day are inching up the list, though.

[Ted S.]

Bob Dylan, too.

[Square = Circle]

Definitely Dylan, too - less than 10% of his albums are any good.

He's similar to Clapton-as-guitarist in that he came along as a lyricist when the bar was really, really low and he knew how to publicize what a "poet" he was.

As far as music from that era, though, Ray Davies wrote much better lyrics.

[Stormy Dragon]

Dylan is a great songwriter, but a terrible performer. He should just hire The Byrds to play all his songs for him.

[Brett L]

I would say on robc's two axis (best vs. overrated), The Beatles and Springsteen are upper right (high talent, highly overrated), Green Day upper left. And even though I won't listen to Dave Matthews alone (like, will literally change the radio channel), he did something for the girls in my younger days, so he's kind of middle, middle. Dylan middle right.

[Crusty Juggler]

"Oh excuse me for being alive in the 90s and having two ears connected to a heart!" The women did love some Dave, and attending a horrible Dave concert (especially if Tim was involved) was a surefire way to impress a gal.

[Bubba Jones]

I have never found anything by or with Springsteen even remotely appealing.

I find his voice tired and his lyrics tedious.

[Careless]

Dave Matthews doesn't belong in the "overrated" discussion, as he's simply aggressively bad.

[CZmacure]

The E-Street Band carries his good songs

One word counter-argument : Nebraska.

[lafe.long]

I disagree on Clapton being overrated.

Easily, the correct answer is U2.

[Square = Circle]

I thought of U2, but I didn't realize people still paid attention to them.

Does that make REM still fair game? I've really never understood what people saw in them.

[Square = Circle]

Who's most overrated changes over time as bands change rise and fall in public esteem.

That said, as someone who's played guitar for 35 years, I can certainly narrow it for you and say that Clapton is the most overrated guitarist probably ever. He's not actually that good, even by his own admission. He was just good at playing for people who were really high back when that was a small market of untrained people.

Steve Howe is not a very good guitarist, but he can play circles around Clapton.

[robc]

Steve Howe is not a very good guitarist

Pistols at dawn.

[Square = Circle]

I'll hedge.

There are many, many guitarists in the world who are way better than Howe. Julian Bream, Sharon Isbin, Manuel Barrueco, and the like.

Howe is one of the best guitarists to play rock and roll, but there's some damned clutzy stuff on mid-70s Yes albums that he should be ashamed of.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Howe was a lot better in the studio than when listened to live.

Yes, like the Rolling Stones, are terrible sounding live bands.

[Square = Circle]

And that to me is a true test. After hearing Crosby, Stills & Nash live I don't even count those guys as musicians anymore. Not one of them can sing on key.

[lafe.long]

Steve Howe is not a very good guitarist

Oh boy did you step in one of my pet peeves.

Why have Ry Cooder play Ralphie's parts all through the movie only to have Steve Vai play both solos at the end?

Political Monster: The Secret Messages in Godzilla Movies

The new Japanese 'Shin Godzilla' is the most politically charged kaiju flick yet.

The new film has plenty of infrastructure-crushing carnage, but its true focus is on those laying the foundation for a new Japan. As Japan considers its place next to a bulked-up China and increasingly belligerent North Korea, Shin Godzilla seems designed to radiate a confidence in country's future.

[Winston]

You are talking about a character that was created as a euphemism for the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki...

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

That is not what we use euphemisms for around here.

[John Titor]

For much of the original Godzilla series, which ran between 1954 and 1974, the military was largely inept, crushed over and over by the ever-increasing number of giant monsters that invaded the unlucky island nation.

Well yeah, that's the best part of Godzilla movies outside of the actual monster fights, watching the JSDF get their asses kicked over and over again and somehow come back the next movie with some new gimmick that fails.

Running the wife is very Argentinian...

[grrizzly]

Texan too.

She got her nickname "Ma" partly from her initials "M. A.", and also because her husband was known as "Pa" Ferguson. They had two daughters, Oudia and Dorris. James Ferguson served as Governor of Texas from 1915 to 1917. However, he was impeached, convicted, and removed from office during his second term. As part of his conviction, he was not allowed to hold state office in Texas again.

After her husband's impeachment and conviction, Ma Ferguson sought the Democratic nomination for governor, and was elected to office. She told voters that she would follow the advice of her husband and Texas thus would get "two governors for the price of one."[3] A common campaign slogan was, "Me for Ma, and I Ain't Got a Durned Thing Against Pa." Against the odds, Ma Ferguson was elected governor, becoming the first female chief executive of Texas.[4] Ferguson was elected with the help and support of her campaign manager, Homer T. Brannon of Fort Worth, Texas.

[mad.casual]

I hadn't seen this commercial, but had heard the quote. NPR interviewed some 'republicans voting for Hillary' this morning and she was among them. I'm not sure if the ad was *totally* unmentioned but they certainly played out the angle that she was just another republican who'd changed her mind. I suspected shill from the amount of perceived/projected clarity and understanding of Hillary's policies. Sad that this isn't even close to an underhanded or dirty tactic.

[Hyperion]

But what about Pajama Boy, who's he voting for this year?

[mad.casual]

She kinda strikes me as a pro-Healthcare, pro-Big Government "Romney" republican anyway. Like she was looking for a reason to switch teams and going full-on SJW about her son's autism is the perfect excuse.

[mad.casual]

I should add, that the autism, which only adds to the frivolousness, was omitted.

[Crusty Juggler]

I shared it because moral scolds are using this woman and her autistic son to convince people to vote against Trump, and in many circles it is being applauded.

[mad.casual]

I suspect playing the ad flat out would void the anti-partisanness schtick and playing it off as just another Republican running from Trump sufficiently reinforces the smug sense of self-worth and being informed that their listenership craves.

I can certainly see the visual aspect of hand flapping not playing out on the radio.

"On a C-SPAN town hall Gary Johnson named two law professors as his top picks for the Supreme Court."

From the linked article:

"The former New Mexico governor stated that he preferred these men because they would interpret the Constitution through the purview of "original intent."

"[Jonathan] Turley is regarded as a "longtime civil libertarian," and has argued as a lawyer in favor of polygamy and against the death penalty."

Ah, he was the lawyer in the "Sister Wives" case. But don't worry, he doesn't want state *recognition* of polygamy, just decriminalization.

[The Fusionist]

"[Tom] Campbell is a former Republican U.S. Congressman...He ran for the U.S. Senate in California in 2010, losing to Carly Fiorina in a Republican primary where she infamously portrayed him as a "demon sheep."...Campbell wrote an article in Reason in 2008 supporting marriage equality....""

So let's check out that article -

"Republicans often say that courts should apply the law, not create it. It was really quite a stretch for the California Supreme Court to say that the Constitution of California already contains a right for same-sex marriage, when the Constitution doesn't say a word about it. The truth is: It's a new issue. To those who say the [California Supreme] Court got it wrong [in its gay-marriage decision], I say: I agree. It's for us to decide. Now, let's make the right decision. And that right decision, in my view, is to allow same-sex marriage in California."

So I guess Campbell disagrees with those commenters who say "equal protection means states must recognize gay marriage derp derp."

[robc]

REM and U2 are very similar in that if you stopped paying attention to anything they did after 1987-88 or so, they are still great.

Green and The Joshua Tree was, IMO, the last album those bands produced, respectively. And Green was probably one too far for REM.

Their careers seem much better if they end at those points.

[Square = Circle]

While Rattle & Hum was an embarrassment, I actually think U2 did some of their best stuff circa 1991-95. The Passengers album with Brian Eno may even be their high point. But a lot of that is because of Eno.

But granted I may think that because I was in what was practically a U2 tribute band from 1986-88 and am pretty permanently sick of everything they did in the 80s. I can't even listen to War anymore.
