Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is calling for an immediate meeting of the U.N. Security Council in response to the North Korean missile launch.

They needed to talk to their HOA about him.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Hello.

[Fist of Etiquette]

You know who else used to greet people?

[Mauser]

Mr Rogers?

[Conchfritters]

Captain Kangaroo?

[loveconstitution1789]

Ronald McDonald?

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

Are you saying Rufus has a future at Walmart?

Welcome to Costco, I love you.

[Azathoth!!]

They really hate when you say that at Costco.

President Donald Trump says "all options are on the table" in response to North Korea launching a missile over Japan yesterday.

Has it ever been someone else's missile that wakes Godzilla up? Because that option is on the table.

[Libertarian]

What a difference 72 years can make.

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

Godzilla is now too busy watching Matlock.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Hurricane Harvey continues to cause massive destruction in Texas and the storm is now heading towards Louisiana.

Big mistake. Harvey is about to get hit back with a little thing called the Interstate Commerce Clause.

[Conchfritters]

Where will the citizens of Nawlins go if they get flooded and Houston is still under water?

[Chinny Chin Chin]

Saw that the "Cajun Navy" has arrived in Houston to help evacuations. Good on 'em, and pleased that FEMA/Feds aren't prohibiting them from helping.

[Rhywun]

What is that, a guy with a rowboat and an indecipherable accent?

[Conchfritters]

And four or five sun burns layered on top of one another - no worry - they're harmless, and they only work for Skoal longcut.

[John DeWitt]

Skoal? I guess they're getting in on bloated government contracts, too. Why isn't Timber Wolf good enough?

[Libertarian]

I get so goddam tired of Governors and mayors holding press conferences and constantly praising one another and the heroism of paid first responders. Circle jerks.

[sarcasmic]

Don't forget that those selfless first responders have been on overtime for at least a week. By the time this is over they'll be clocking in several hundred hours apiece.

[CatoTheChipper]

At least they didn't abandon their posts like they did for Katrina

[Libertarian]

I doubt they'll be confiscating very many guns, either.

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

You know who else is helping? The Black Beast. He even helped a guy with a confederate flag, cause he doesn't care about stuff like that.

[Chinny Chin Chin]

I look forward to antifa's response.

[Bee Tagger]

A top executive from Donald Trump's real estate company emailed Russian President Vladimir Putin's personal spokesman during the U.S. presidential campaign last year

And the spokesman's personal assistant's name is Kennedy and Trump's real estate executive drives a Lincoln and they later met to discuss matters over a plate of bacon served by their waiter Kevin.

[Fist of Etiquette]

No, the feds shouldn't give war machines to the police.

Step off, Rhodey.

[Bee Tagger]

Sen. Rand Paul: "No, the feds shouldn't give war machines to the police."

If the military is allowed to police the world, the least the police should be able to do is militarize the country, right? It's only fair.

[Mauser]

Yup. Why not. The roles are reversed.

[widget]

The feds should give all the war machines to transexuals. Just keep them out of the hands of John McCain.

[chemjeff]

Are you suggesting John McCain isn't transsexual enough for his very own war machine?

[Careless]

McCain does have quite the history of getting his own war machines blown up

[Conchfritters]

Better question is why did we have Oshkosh trucking produce $$billions of MRAPs and then just use them for two years and then scrap them? Are IEDs not going to be a concern in future entanglements?

[Libertarian]

Hey, when it comes to defending against the wanton destruction of our Confederate statues, all options are on the table.

[RT]

^THIS. I can see surplus trucks, boats, and the like (for use in situations like Harvey), but MRAPs just seem like something we can use again, leaving aside the argument of whether they have a legitimate law enforcement use.

[Wally]

They ain't given the Oshkosh ones away, It's the worthless solid axle crap made by Navistar, BAE etc.

[Bee Tagger]

President Donald Trump says "all options are on the table" in response to North Korea launching a missile over Japan yesterday.

I'm surprised they can afford such a large table after all of the money being spent on Secret Servicemen

[Fist of Etiquette]

This is why you never want to elect someone president who's ever set foot one into the private sector.

This is why we needed Bernie Sanders as President, he is a pure government Top Man

If I lived in Seoul I would be more terrified of Trump than North Korea.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Please expand what you mean.

[Tom Bombadil]

You ever go out with some high-strung friend who rubs everyone the wrong way and is overly aggressive?
You figure there's a very good chance you're going to end up in a fight at some point in the evening.

Seoul is you, and Trump is the ass-hole friend.

*just an explanation.

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

At a certain age, and after a fight or two, I stopped hanging out with people like that.

[Memory Hole]

Trump is a new wild variable on what was once a relatively fixed equation. I believe the concern is when Trump says he's willing to start WW3 if NK fires blank missiles in the direction of Guam. SK would suffer the worst of the conflict.

[loveconstitution1789]

South Korea is going to suffer sooner or later.

Might as well make it sooner before Fat Boy-Un has more nasty surprises.

Anyone who thinks the North Korea threat is going to just go away is living in a fantasy land.

President Donald Trump says "all options are on the table" in response to North Korea launching a missile over Japan yesterday.

I would say cue media and lefty (but I repeat myself) pants shitting, but the pants shitting is ongoing. That said, "all options" is the correct response when you don't want an adversary to know your intentions, which is desirable.

[Stormy Dragon]

Yes, because when dealing with a nuclear armed opponent, maximizing their confusion and paranoia is a really good idea.

[Rebel Scum]

The only problem would be if Kim believes his own propaganda. I suspect he smart enough to know that DPRK is in no way a military match to the US. That is why he backed down before.

[John DeWitt]

That part is fine to say...it's the rest of the shit he says that gives pause to rational people.

[Eek Barba Durkle]

They've been saying that shit for 65 years.

Trump is just the first President too fucking stupid to understand the game.

The Troll President is getting trolled by the Troll State.

[Eek Barba Durkle]

Nevermind, you were talking about Trump, and not KJU.

Either way, they are both loudmouthed ignoramuses. The difference being, trump might actually mean some of the shit he says.

Hurricane Harvey continues to cause massive destruction in Texas and the storm is now heading towards Louisiana.

For those that are wondering, Cenk Uygur is still a massive d-bag.

[Zeb]

I could see that coming. These guys are just as classy as the assholes who said New Orleans had it coming because of all the homos.

[Rhywun]

My morning news was pushing the climate change = more hurricanes nonsense. You wonder why so many people are so massively misinformed about everything, look no further.

[Palin's Buttplug]

There does seem to be a logical reason for climate change to exacerbate a hurricane that was going to happen anyway (according to scientists at Yale anyway).

https://goo.gl/srZG8Z

I'm open to the possibility.

I will listen to a reputable scientist before I will listen to an idiot conservative with a political agenda though.

[Tom Bombadil]

The problem with Harvey is that it stalled. Normally Hurricanes chug along at 20knots until they run out of steam. They're in and out of an area in 24 hours or less and can only drop so much rain in that amount of time.

I'd be interested to see the link between Global Warming and Harvey not having much lateral velocity.

[Rhywun]

I'm not going to click one of your stupid anonymized links.

Anyway, which reputable scientists - the ones who fudge the temperature data or the ones who pretend that any of this is anything more than reading tea leaves? And BTW, scientists at Yale have an agenda too - one which involves attracting more money to scientists at Yale.

[Palin's Buttplug]

It has to be," Trenberth says. "The air, being warmer, means it can also hold more moisture. There's more moisture in the air, especially coming off of the oceans."

That extra moisture matters, adds climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe of Texas Tech: "So when that storm comes along, as it always does, there's more water vapor sitting up there for that storm to pick up and dump on us."

Warm water is fuel for hurricanes. In fact, Harvey had weakened to a tropical depression as it crossed the Yucatan Peninsula days before it made landfall in Texas. But then it hit the unusually hot waters of the Gulf of Mexico and quickly reorganized into a powerful hurricane.

As scientist James Elsner of Florida State University explained to YCC in 2016, "With warmer oceans caused by global warming, we can expect the strongest storms to get stronger."

Perfectly reasonable and backed up by temperature data.

[Tom Bombadil]

You cannot attribute anything about Harvey to "Global Warming". It is a hurricane like thousands that preceded it.

The 'higher temperatures equals more and stronger storms' prediction has already failed miserably.

[Palin's Buttplug]

You're saying that there was NO extra moisture collected by Harvey due to higher atmospheric temps?

None?

Absurd. You are a political hack with a political agenda.

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

You know who else had no extra moisture collected down there?

[Crusty Juggler]

Lucille Bluth?

[Tom Bombadil]

Hurricane activity is down over the last 15 years, which means the Earth is cooler. There is a direct causal link, correct?

[Mickey Rat]

All you can say for sure is the Gulf waters are warmer than usual, which does fuel the storm. You cannot pin down the cause of the warm waters to climate change as opposed to a normal variation of weather. Judt as the unusually cold winters we had a couple of years ago were weather rather than refutation of climate change.

[chemjeff]

"You're saying that there was NO extra moisture collected by Harvey due to higher atmospheric temps?

None?"

No, there is some. But the amount of extra moisture due to global warming is about 1/1,000,000th of the amount of extra moisture due to daily weather patterns.

[Rhywun]

Everything up to the last sentence is just weather; hell, it's eighth-grade earth science.

The last sentence is pure conjecture backed up by nothing but faked data and crossed fingers.

[chemjeff]

"The air, being warmer, means it can also hold more moisture. There's more moisture in the air, especially coming off of the oceans."

This is a scientifically true statement.

However, one has to look at the relative magnitude of the effects.

If global warming is producing an atmospheric temperature rise of a few tenths of a degree per decade, or about 0.01oC per year, or about 3 ? 10-5 oC per day, this is more than overwhelmed by daily weather changes that produce temperature swings of tens of degrees per day. Any amount of increased moisture content in the atmosphere due to global warming is a mere rounding error in the normal variation of moisture content due to daily weather patterns and temperature cycles. That is why the argument "global warming leads to stronger hurricanes" is bunk.

[chemjeff]

Well, Reason's comment system doesn't understand the HTML superscript tags. Oh well. Imagine superscripts where they are supposed to go above.

[BYODB]

So we haven't had one single hurricane in years because...?

So does increased frequency and strength mean fewer hurricanes? Because we've had fewer hurricanes. Or did Obama save us from those after all?

[Tom Bombadil]

Also, the "more and stronger" Hurricanes prediction by AGW's 15 years ago has been a fail, so you might as well listen to an idiot as listen to a reputable scientist.

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

Oh for fuck's sake, Buttplug. Hurricanes are not a new thing.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Who said otherwise?

[Memory Hole]

Well fuck man, a 500 year flood and a 1000 year flood in TX and LA in the last year when the recorded temperature is the hottest ever. That's a hell of a coincidence.

[Tom Bombadil]

The correct jargon is "hottest evah".

[Tom Bombadil]

The decrease in hurricane activity in recent years proves the Earth is cooling... since they are linked and all.

[Rhywun]

the recorded temperature is the hottest ever

LOL. Who was recording the temperature a hundred years ago? 500 years ago? Doesn't matter because "scientists" would be adjusting the data downwards anyway just like they are doing for the 1900's.

[Eric]

For otherwise smart people, many libertarians sound suspiciously like they reject AGW mostly based upon hatred of the left's religious-like embrace of it.

[Enjoy Every Sandwich]

LOL it is hard to avoid the automatic reaction of skepticism when a huckster starts waving his arms and yelling at you.

[MarkLastname]

The current consensus, based on empirical rather that speculation, is that global warming probably doesn't increase the frequency of hurricanes.

It's interesting though that now you're suddenly open to considering possibilities that go against current scientific consensus.

[Azathoth!!]

What's sad is, for all Mikey's praise of the glibs, they all think he's a dumb asshole too.

It's true. Mikey gets crap for his mangled names and his occasional tinfoil hat ranting. Don't know if 'asshole' is the right word--though the people here would probably know best, given the preponderance of them among Those Left Behind.

Those who still have a few shreds of sense might just grasp the idea that the fact that Mike's not beloved--and knows it, yet still prefers the one to the other could mean that there's more than a little difference between the two. That perhaps substituting cocktail party leftism for libertarianism isn't a winning strategy.

Look at the status of the once vaunted commentariat--White knights for quasi lefty columnists, White knights for those white knights, lefty trolls, Hihn, lefty randos, a few sad 'also-rans', and the scarce few of us that go back and forth because we can't let go.

The corpse is little more than grist for the hagfish now.

"Confederate monuments are coming down across America in the wake of this month's violence in Charlottesville, Virginia ? except in Alabama, where a new one went up on Sunday.

More than 500 people showed up for the unveiling of a small monument to "Unknown Alabama Confederate Soldiers" at Confederate Veterans Memorial Park, on private land in the town of Brantley, in Crenshaw County about 30 miles north of the Florida line."

Jim Brown, a man who nobody will ever confuse with Sean Hannity, puts the Paperneckers in their place with a sentence or two. According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, Brown addressed the team and told them, "Do not disrespect your country, do not disrespect the flag."

I want to see some professional fake libertarian or spoiled idiot SJW Millennial who doesn't know jack shit try and tell off Jim Brown. You don't have the balls, little children. So you won't be seeing anyone on the Browns at least pulling this silly crap anymore, and that's that.

Football is sliding down. It's not Kapernick and flag waving in the long run, it's the head injuries. It's a small family demographic change that causes this. A family with one boy will be less likely to send that boy to war or play football than a family with three boys. No spare boys.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Football is too popular to slide much.

Boxing is still here and it would be subject to safety bans well before football.

So Buttplug seems to be saying he actually payed to watch the mayweather vs mcgregor fight. This is how he knows stuff.

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

I watched the fight. It was actually pretty entertaining.

[Eek Barba Durkle]

It was actually pretty entertaining.

I guess...if you wanted to see an illiterate woman beater clown around for 3 rounds, and then systematically beat the shit out of someone far, far less talented and capable than himself.

But, I know - Conor landed 110 punches! And the FULL THREE ROUNDS he had to throw anything he wanted at a stationary, non-fighting opponent had nothing to do with that.

It was entertaining like pro rasslin is to some - it's not real, but it's good drama.

[lap83]

It's a small family demographic change that causes this. A family with one boy will be less likely to send that boy to war or play football than a family with three boys. No spare boys.

I wonder about this. Do you know of any actual examples of people changing their mind about football because of the head injuries? Because the ones I know who are really into the sport don't seem to give a crap about the recent developments.

[lap83]

Personally, I would not actively encourage my son to pursue football in light of the head injuries...but I've never cared that much about the sport in the first place.

[Crusty Juggler]

Do you know of any actual examples of people changing their mind about football because of the head injuries?

A few young professional football players have retired the last couple of years because they worry about head injuries, and there are plenty of stories - mostly from outlets like NPR, etc, - which push the theory that wealthier families are discouraging their children not to play football.

I assume that the movie Concussion plays a role in influencing people, too. Whether or not people stop playing football in large enough numbers to matter, however, is just a guess.

[Crusty Juggler]

I would argue that a player like Chris Borland, who retired instead of playing out his first contract which would have earned him over two million dollars after four years, was experiencing the symptoms of some sort of head injury.

Make that cheddah, kid!

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

Some high schools are having trouble getting enough people for a football team. So far, it's only the ones with sucky teams, but this will become more common in the future.

[Crusty Juggler]

this will become more common in the future.

Maybe! It could also just be a trend.

[chemjeff]

One of my coworkers, who is normally a big sports fan generally (mainly basketball, but he seems enthusiastic about all sports) has said point blank that there is no way he would let his son play football in highschool, because of the injury potential.

It's also worth noting that it is a fucking retarded sport.

OT: Hillary Clinton on tour and still blaming everyone except Hillary Clinton

Hillary's going to set off this fall for an 15-city tour -- "Hillary Clinton Live" -- and her website promise she's going to "let loose" and "connect with audiences in a conversation about a story that's personal, raw, detailed and surprisingly funny." Well, she couldn't "connect" with voters before her crushing and humiliating defeat, but maybe she's better when she's getting paid.

For the honor of sitting in that audience as the two-time loser blames the Russians and Barack Obama and Wikileaks and everyone but herself might cost you as much as $1,200.

It will likely be humorous, just not how she thinks/means.

"With humor and candor, she tells readers what it took to get back on her feet ? the rituals, relationships, and reading that got her through, and what the experience has taught her about life. She speaks about the challenges of being a strong woman in the public eye, the criticism over her voice, age, and appearance, and the double standard confronting women in politics," the website says.

Um, ok...I don't think any of those words mean what she thinks they mean.

[Rebel Scum]

The whole show will be heavy on blaming Russia. "She lays out how the 2016 election was marked by an unprecedented assault on our democracy by a foreign adversary. By analyzing the evidence and connecting the dots, Hillary shows just how dangerous the forces were that shaped the outcome, and why Americans need to understand them to protect our values and our democracy in the future," the site says.
