Vilerat was one of ours, and a lot of goons who'd been merely cool towards Mitt Romney in 2012 became violent anti-Romney partisans when he started using Benghazi as a cynical election ploy.

Slate Action posted:If trump got 53% of white guys in the general he would lose in a landslide. He needs something like 70%. http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/03/donald-trump-needs-7-of-10-white-guys-213699 It's a long read, but a good one. He would need 70% of the white male vote, ie the largest landslide percentage in history. That's not going to happen, and since he's been doing so well with minority outreach, it's not much of a stretch to predict that the Democratic nominee, whoever it is, has a very easy path to the White House. One thing that article didn't go into IIRC, is the fact that obviously less than 100% of every group votes. I wonder how the demographics will pan out.

West Virginia recently legalized raw milk. Let's check in and see how that's going.quote:CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- In the weeks after passing a bill, allowing West Virginians to drink raw milk, one delegate brought the drink in to celebrate and, eventually, several lawmakers have gotten sick. Nothing to see here except the FREEDOM these lawmakers have from the oppression of Big Pasteurization.

First, the cop drove his car into the guy's motorcycle, which was found to be negligent but not a rights violation. After the collision, he exits the car and kicks the guy. The kick was found to be a rights violation. You may be confused but that doesn't mean the Daily News isn't really bad.

Yeah I think an earlier post ran the numbers and said he needed 65% assuming all other groups went 95/5 against him. That may have been gender-inspecific though. I mean he probably won't do THAT poorly among non-whites but I imagine he needs at LEAST 60% to compete.

Thomas Midgley Jr., who invented tetraethyl lead (what's in leaded gasoline) and freon (refrigerant, ozone-eroder). quote:On October 30, 1924, Midgley participated in a press conference to demonstrate the apparent safety of TEL. In this demonstration, he poured TEL over his hands, then placed a bottle of the chemical under his nose and inhaled its vapor for sixty seconds, declaring that he could do this every day without succumbing to any problems whatsoever. Midgley would later have to take leave of absence from work after being diagnosed with lead poisoning. One of his inventions finally killed him, but disappointingly it wasn't either of those two: quote:In 1940, at the age of 51, Midgley contracted poliomyelitis, which left him severely disabled. This led him to devise an elaborate system of strings and pulleys to help others lift him from bed. This system was the eventual cause of his own death when he was entangled in the ropes of this device and died of strangulation at the age of 55.

Joementum posted:Or the colloidal silver guy. The funny thing about colloidal silver is that last I heard a medical consensus, it was more-or-less safe-ish. It'll turn you blue and it might have some prescription medication interactions, but I seem to recall that other complications are/were quite rare. Now, given that it doesn't seem to have any positive health effects, getting turned blue and having a probably-nonzero increased risk of other complications aren't great, but there are worse goofy-rear end treatments out there. Edit: Oh man, Thomas Midgley. Poster child for unintended consequences. I actually am somewhat amused that it was a third clever invention that killed him, because it makes him even more unlucky or at least shortsighted.If it weren't for those various little side effects, he'd be remembered as a Pretty Great Inventor.
