I feel sorry when the police arrive and they're forced to respond with lethal force to those lawless thugs charging right for them.

e: I hope when the reporters are telling those kids that they're breaking the law one of them responds with "gently caress the police" and then takes off.

About three weeks ago at the local CQB airsoft arena we had almost an entire team get permabanned from the franchise for cheating, and one of their players got arrested when he tried to start a physical fight with the owner. During the processing before they drove him away, one of the chubby little 14-year-olds on his team with way too much expensive gear kept running outside to yell slurs at the police because he figured it was legal.

I was very disappointed when they didn't grab him too.

I'm disappointed this didn't devolve into an airsoft firefight before the cops showed up.

It's always nice when politicians, regardless of party affiliation, just get loving sick of reporters and start to tear into them a bit.

I hope Hillary becoming President allows her to feel like she has way more important friends now, and she doesn't need New Democrats or their poo poo initiatives or strategies.

It took Obama more than a few years to figure it out.

Hilary has been around long enough to know where all the levers she actually needs if she gets there.

Also Blackberries are a pain in the rear end to support and the WH went through a tech transition with Obama. Blackberry support is a proprietary cryptic nightmare I would have let her keep her own server if she offered to meet spec. That's the thing too, I would think she would be compliant with gov spec standard available. I mean Al Gores did invent the internet....

Another item from the 114th Congress Bingo Card: The White House has issued a veto threat against a bill that would prohibit the EPA from using "secret science" in its rule making (i.e. scientific studies with confidential patient information withheld for privacy reasons). The new bill also limits EPA funding for making such information public to $1 million per year, effectively forcing the EPA to halve the number of studies it performs per year.

A related bill which would loosen regulations on industry scientists serving on EPA advisory boards while restricting academic scientists from using unpublished science on the same and mandating such boards respond to all public comments (regardless of quantity or quality) has also been issued a veto threat.

I meant to comment on this earlier but was busy working and chatposting. We're involved in climate research through deep sea sedimentology and the like, and this is especially hilarious to me because most of the reasons we end up with data being under moratorium and thus unable to be published are entirely political to begin with.

When it comes to insurance across state lines, doesn't Obama have an instant argument for keeping that limit?

It's a bit more cynical than that. If Obama doesn't allow for shopping across state lines, he's restricting customer's Personal Freedom. If he allows for shopping across state lines and imposes additional regulations to make the system work, he's infringing on the sacred doctrine of States' Rights. If he allows for shopping across states lines and doesn't impose additional regulations, Obamacare will fail. No matter how it plays out, the Republicans get a good talking point just by raising the issue.

Even by Republican standards, the economy is doing great. Seeing them squirm on the economy is pretty awesome. Had Romney somehow won the election, the recovery would be called the Romney miracle and he'd have ridden to an easy second term.
