Woodland, North Carolina has decided not to permit construction of a solar farm. The public comment period included the normal worries about property values and a few other valid concerns.quote:Jane Mann said she is a local native and is concerned about the natural vegetation that makes the community beautiful. Fair enough. Oh wait, you had more to say? quote:She also questioned the high number of cancer deaths in the area, saying no one could tell her that solar panels didn’t cause cancer. Hmm, I'm not sure about your theory of solar farms causing cancer for profit. Anyone else have something to add? quote:Bobby Mann said he watched communities dry up when I-95 came along and warned that would happen to Woodland because of the solar farms. Big, if true.

As always, it's early in the election cycle for polls to count blah blah blah. Hillary ties Rubio in the youth vote, 45-45.

Look, you can't blame Vox for trying to keep liberal eyeballs when everyone's asking what Trump's gonna say next... Elsewhere, Kanye might have competition for the 2020 nominations: Will Smith.

A group of idiots go to the White House in order to burn a Quran. They are foiled when counterprotesters run up and steal it. Also, Jim Caviezel feels it necessary to take a few minutes out of his day to say something stupid.

It is a traditionally Democratic county and was one of only two counties in the state won by George McGovern.[11] The last Democratic candidate to lose the county was William Jennings Bryan in 1896.[12] In the last five Presidential elections the Democratic candidate has consistently received over 63% of the county's vote.[13]

The poll in question asks for household income. And according to this it's near 21% in 2010. Unless I'm reading this wrong, 20% of households in 2014 fall somewhere above $130,000 with the top 40% above $82,000 So it doesn't seem that far-fetched and might actually be under-represented

Before he went hard right, rubio was pretty soft right and relatively young. he didnt seem like a religious crazy and he was for actual immigration reform and dream act. now he bent over for all the monsters. the rest are of the conservative candidates are either nuts/fundies/old as gently caress.

Yeah that isn't to say that even if he wins the nom this will still be a tied vote a year from now (it won't). Take it for the idea that the Not Hillary portion of the electorate is a significant issue and nothing more.

Speaking of mass shootings, one of my co-workers is friends with a surviving victim of the San Bernardino shooting and his (victim) take is that it's way more workplace oriented than terrorism since the guy that did the shooting was openly antagonized about being muslim. Anecdotal as hell I know but might be why it's fallen off from being reported about after enough time passed where the people in the hospital have woken up that they could be interviewed about it.

You coworker's friend is attempting to rationalize an act of terrorism. Unfortunately, he has found his way of doing so by blaming a victim who cannot speak in their own defence.
