Hollismason posted:Yeah one can hope but I still don't think it's enough. David Vitter will mostly be the next Governor. It can happen, though. In Idaho, there was a real shitlord (R) who had antagonized the state party that lost in 2006 in one of the most (R) districts around. The Democrat that beat him was then tossed out in 2008 by a guy who was state party approved.

Mr. Nice! posted:The first looks better, imo. Note to self, I think my laptop screen must be getting a color cast. I tried it on my Dell IPS monitor and it's noticeably warmer. The Dell is theoretically factory calibrated but all monitors drift over time, so I can't really say which is correct, if either. Even so there's still a strong blue cast in the original, even on the warmer IPS monitor. Concrete is not supposed to be blue. I white-balanced off the tent, tried the dress next but it wasn't noticeably different. Maybe it would have been better to try the concrete.

I dunno "The only way I can lose this race is to be caught in bed with a live boy or dead girl." is pretty loving amazing. http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/03/edwin_edwards_congress_electio.html Honestly these are all amazing quote:"Sister, just don't let me get into the habit." (When he hugged a nun at Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral during a lavish junket to France in 1984) Edwin Edwards makes Bill Clinton look like a fumbling schoolboy.

I was so happy together be able to vote for Edwin "Old Silver Zipper" Edwards last last year for Congress, since I was to young to vote for him for governor. He got mauled in the run off of course, but LA 6 is like R +10. As governor he basically ran the state like Fried Chicken wants to run the country.

So, uh, the Pope used his closing remarks on the Synod to call out the entire conference of Catholic bishops for being backwards, out of touch, and exclusionary.quote:Pope Francis, ending a contentious bishops' meeting on family issues, on Saturday excoriated immovable church leaders who "bury their heads in the sand" and hide behind rigid doctrine while families suffer.

Just for shits and giggles: how would the IMF and World Bank react should the US face default? Being based in the US notwithstanding, they are eager to jump and dictate terms to other countries in similar debt situations and would be hypocritical to ignore the US in a similar case.

Looks like a hoarder who took hoarding to a new level by having thieves fence guns to him then he would just hoard them. Article says they're almost entirely shotguns and hunting rifles. Also had over 150 chainsaws.

Apparently there's quite a few stashes around Texas, the militia idiots talk about them all the time at the local gun shows. Of course, those guys are typically full of poo poo cowards, but I wouldn't put it past them to spend all their money on weapons just so they can hoard them all in some bunker in west Texas.
