Venom Snake posted:The Carson campaign is so much funnier than the Cain one. Carson is actually legit serious and it's magical. Legit serious in what sense? He isn't a loving clown like say Trump or Cain but he shouldn't be taken any more seriously as say Santorum as either a candidate or a person that you can rely on to not to say incredibly dumb and offensive poo poo if you give him enough rope.`

No he isn't, he's their black doctor friend that says Obama and Obamacare sucks. Obviously he is a gifted neurosurgeon but he has repeatedly show that that skill doesn't translate into anything involving serious public or global policy, not even involving medicine and he will be thrown under the bus the second he gets in front of enough microphones not wielded by conservatives sucking him off for being a black Obama hating doctor to say some more stupid poo poo and reveal that he will gladly open his mouth and talk on length about things he has no loving clue about.

Carson might seem like a joke candidate, but I'll have everyone know that I've seen two separate Carson 2016 bumper stickers so he's a strong contender in the Republican primary.

I always imagined it was just a big rear end library lol Library of Congress and National Archives holdings includes duplicates of all sorts of stuff across most major cities and metro areas, as well as dedicated high value storage in places like the various old emergency government headquarters locations. This goes especially for their digitization projects and web archiving poo poo, because it's easy as hell to have massively redundant data storage. Like yeah, the LOC copyright holdings for random books only have a few or even one physical copy in DC, but everything else would be fine.

All that means is it's going to be another loving circus, Carson has show time after time that he has no political experience and half the time he opens his mouth he says something stupid. Sure, he will probably be a contender but Newt Gingrich was a contender too, it doesn't mean he has to be treated like anything more than another circus side show.

Carson is like the GOPs 4th or 5th token, their base doesn't want a one of them as MVP. Also does the Library of Congress/National Archives have a account for when the Great Paywall goes up? What kind of paper work was done asking for a $10 account + plat?

Quote of the night, "The one thing that puzzled me, the New York Times had a story about how he redecorated his office to look like 'Downton Abbey,' but all I saw were pictures of like Ulysses S. Grant. It's obviously sort of disjunctive in my mind. There were all these pictures of Republican presidents. I don't know what they were doing in 'Downton Abbey.' I suppose you could say, from a certain angle, Herbert Hoover does look a little bit like Maggie Smith depending on the light, but nobody could have been Ulysses S. Grant." ~ Barney Frank, on Aaron Schock's decorating skills. For reference:

Seems pretty spurious. How many yard signs have you seen? I've actually seen both a home made Ted Cruz bumper sticker and, as far as I can tell, a completely unrelated Ted Cruz yard sign.

So Netenyahu looks to be remaining PM of Israel. But not through coalition building and the winning left failing to assemble one like expected; it appears his going far-right in the last week managed to pull a 9% swing for Likud, pulling in supporters from the smaller right parties and working for GOTV. He will have a bigger majority this go-round than last time Which would not, strictly speaking, be American news, except for the fact that as part of that he officially and specifically renounced the 2 state solution and said he would not allow that while he was PM. Which is flat contrary to American diplomatic aims for 41 years. So that will make for some interesting times ahead there. Fried Chicken fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Mar 18, 2015 |
