Khisanth Magus posted:Had to take my wife to the ER last night for breathing difficulties. As part of the "Have you done x thing" questions they asked were a bunch of new ones to screen for ebola apparently. I found it kind of bizarre based on what, a single case down south? No one is interested in repeating Texas Presbyterian's (and apparently Spain's) fuckup. Every hospital is going to be on high alert for the rest of the year at least.

I have a buddy who went to Hillsdale (the Conservatives' one respectable Liberal Arts College). According to her, there were quite a few other female students who would earnestly argue that womens' suffrage was an unnecessary extravagance. Because, you know, surely women can be adequately represented by a vote from their Household. This was not in the 1920s. It ain't that far-fetched, is what I'm saying.

Alter Ego posted:Subservience is one thing, but she's basically talking BDSM without the whips and chains. It's interesting. There are two similar conservative beliefs that strike me. First, wives must totally submit to their husbands in all ways and surrender control of their lives, bodies, and futures. Second, if it were to become socially acceptable to marry a man, existing heterosexual marriages would be destroyed (because gay sex is so enticing to men that they would abandon their families). I really wonder how much conservative policy is based on sublimated sexuality. This is probably shaped by having lived in the bay area so long, but it seems important. So many people on first moving to the bay area are freaked out at the idea that they can have kinky sex or same gender sex, that they can finally embrace these aspects of themselves and not have to hide. And then, over the years, they slowly get used to the idea that nobody really cares and that it's not a big deal. Sexuality is not this indulgent decadent dirty thing, it's just another way to show love, and then rather than it being a focus of their life it just becomes a part of their entire life. And I just really wish we could help all those conservatives, trapped in relationships they hate and desperately wishing for something they are not getting. If only they could realize it's not a big deal, and move on, and not externalize all of that self hatred into horrible politics.

So a combination of national park drilling and charging for admission. If by "a profit" they mean "the maximum possible profit from that land" then yes it would work like that. What's Randy's position on TARP?

Unless they're going to start charging people for just driving through.

QuoProQuid posted:Besides Burr's attempt to split the United States in half to build a personal kingdom, the best Aaron Burr moment is the time he convinced the Federalist controlled Congress to fund a water company whose secret purpose was to fund the AntI-Federalists. Said company later became one of the biggest banks in the US until it merged with Chase National. Gentleman, we shall found a company that trains ponies to bite off Alexander Hamilton's penis. The Vienna String Orchestra will see him crying, and he shall be greatly humiliated. South Park's political opinions aside, Aaron Burr is basically a real-world Eric Cartman. He more or less tried to pull off the plot of the Civil War Reenactors episode with his whole little secession scheme. He's the epitome of "spiteful, vengeful rear end in a top hat".

Even if he releases the funding by close of business, that's gonna get play in some issue ads.

He then immediately said something about how it was so easy to sneak into our country, to which I said that I was actually more curious about how ISIS would have managed to get into Mexico. This has been the republican "oh god don't break into the country and torture my nipples that would be terrible" fantasy for over a decade now - during WW2, there were multitudes of stories of Japanese landing on pacific coastline in the dead of night, ooga booga. And yeah, the idea that Mexico is just full of dirty hispanics who are going to let any old so and so into their country makes it somehow doubly-racist.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is going to stop ISIS from crossing the border. To be fair to him, that's a campaign promise that he'll have no trouble keeping.
