Errbody here in South Carolina has been chuckling over Mark Sanford's hilarious meltdown on Facebook and apparently the breakup was news to Ms. Appalachian Trail hahahaa

Yet because he is a Republican, he will be a mortal lock to win his seat, no doubt.

Here's his Facebook meltdown post over his divorce issues combined with dumping his girlfriend buried deep in the text:

Being super concerned about the details of other people's lives that have no impact on you seems like an exhausting way to live.

I don't really think the idea that "I'm going to find out enough about your life to determine whether your individual case of fatness warrants shaming" was a sincere one. I'm guessing if that poster does in fact engage in fat shaming that this critical step of researching the situation before judgment is applied is omitted.

I'm guessing the judgment is more "FAT = needs shaming" or the shaming criteria is derived from a cursory evaluation of circumstances without a lot of, if any, discussion with the shamee.

Maybe not the best idea for an image and slogan to go along with Dallas. :shrug:



If you go to the website for the tour (url is on the side of the bus), the tour is pretty much all about the JFK assasssination, so it's entirely intentional and in really bad taste.

John Crawford gets killed by the police for calmly carrying an air gun he just bought to his car in an open carry state

Unless it's some other Crawford, he never made it out of the store. He was in the corner, holding the gun and talking on his phone and got gunned down due in part to some yahoo calling the cops claiming he was aiming the gun at kids. Of course the police didn't appear to make any significant effort to determine what was going on for themselves or neutralize the situation short of shooting the guy:

Was there a leadership turnover in the Secret Service after the whole Colombian hookers debacle, or is this still the same leadership?

An individual catastrophic failure should lead to resignation of the director (President killed in the White House because 20 armed gunmen got in there unopposed somehow), even if an underling was the one who actually screwed up, the chief by extension screwed up by having someone so unreliable there and must fall on the sword.

A series of failures (guy shooting out White House windows, guy getting deep into the White House and tackling a SS agent etc.) are definitely the fault of the chief as well as any involved underlings.

I believe there is a new chief, the problem is, you can't just put someone new in charge and change a system. You have to actually change the system. Systems aren't good or bad in themselves, but a truism is that they don't change easily. You have to enforce change upon them, and just changing leadership does not change the system.

Yeah, but the new chief is implicitly charged with cleaning things up and making necessary changes, both in personnel and systems/rules.
