There's a saying in Missouri, if you don't like the weather just wait five minutes. In Blaine, with hard work, I think we can get that down to three or four minutes.

I think maybe that "just wait 5 minutes" quote in some states just means "you'll be dead in 5 minutes and the dead are indifferent to weather"

I'm pretty sure the Secret Service screens people they let into lines like that.

I mean it seems, uh, rather reckless otherwise.

From a few pages ago but I was in Normandy last month for the D-Day commemorations working with France 3 TV and just to get into the cemetery where Obama and Hollande were I had to get patted down, my bags searched and everything scanned twice, and when I was in the press area where the Presidents walked by to the stage there were at least a dozen US and French secret service agents all up in our poo poo at all times. I don't know if every event the President attends is so secure but I was really impressed with their thoroughness for that.

Well it's hard to say because the Secret Service doesn't exactly make their procedures public, but I'd imagine it was a little tighter than normal since it was an event with another head of state on foreign soil. I could easily be wrong, of course.

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
I know there is some terrible poo poo about to go down re: Israel/Palestine and I think I've decided I just don't want to know the details because it will make me very angry and depressed.

Freepers are screaming about kids that are legitimate refugees being let into America just long enough to get their info and then punted back into their poo poo-show countries because "gently caress immigrants", say the people who can probably trace their ancestry to Ellis Island post-1865.

There are calls for impeachment of Obama because gently caress it, it's not like the House is doing anything useful anyway.

In short, I want to thank the derail/chat crew for turning me on to Evan Williams because it's saving me about $3/handle from my previous bourbon of choice.

It could be worse though. English isn't a tonal language, it doesn't have genders, and it's got a simple alphabet.
