They continued to meet in the Capitol building. Harper's has a good longread on it and the rest of the fiscal madness of Arizona under Tea Party management. What they did was raise some immediate money by selling the building (and a lot of other government property) to a private real estate company and then started paying them rent on a building they used to own. They eventually realized this was stupid as gently caress and are trying to buy it back.

that is an amazing lack of foresight, like what did they even need the influx of money for that was so urgent you'd sell the Capitol?

Getting reelected in 2010.

The sale put a hundred million dollars in Arizona's budget for a short time, so that Brewer could point to a surplus in 2010, then bought it back at a loss because it was a dumb idea. It was basically a twenty million dollar transfer from the state to the major banks that bought the shares in the statehouse, that also tricked rubes into thinking austerity was working.

that's pretty disgusting, and it sucks that it worked and is still working and will probably work for a little while longer

That headline is sort of correct in spirit if not by rule, which is surprising given that Drudge is usually misleading.

Most states that don't have a primary will at least have a presidential preference vote at the caucus. Not Colorado. They have a caucus, but at no point do they ever ask you to vote for a candidate, instead you are voting for delegates and you literally put your x next to Joe or Frank or Ann or whichever delegate you prefer. In most caucus sites you vote for a candidate, and then delegates are bound to that candidate based on the vote, but Colorado does not bind anyone on the first ballot. You just have to somehow know who the person you are voting for is going to vote on the 1st ballot.

Anyway, the delegates who were elected in Colorado are Cruz supporters. All of them, Trump got swept. I assume most of the voters knew what they were doing, but I'm sure some who may support Trump were confused, and since most of the people wanting to be delegates supported Cruz, some of their votes probably went to Cruz delegates.

that might be the most retarded way of electing a person i have ever heard of, and in fact i'm just gonna go ahead and say it is the most retarded

Spotify asked members of Congress to create playlists and they are all awful.

They go from one genre to the next in a sad attempt to please everyone, they all seem to put a song from Hamilton on them, and a disturbing number of fifty year old dudes listen to Katy Perry and Taylor Swift.

Credit to Senator Mike Lee for just listing Zeppelin, Rush, and U2, which I have no trouble believing is a real Mike Lee playlist.

Highlights Hello! is, by the way, also a superior magazine to Time. It contains about 8 pages, with two story rhymes, a find-it, and some pictures of babies. It is made of reasonably stiff plastic so it won't tear and can be drooled on and then cleaned!

Far superior.

i loved Highlights as a kid, i don't like time as an adult, this checks out

Yeah connected internet is a dying business, it made sense back when mobile networks weren't very good but now wifi is more an annoyance than anything. Honestly, when is the last time you used free public wifi?

most data plans aren't unlimited high-speed so hooking up your phone to the wi-fi is a good way of conserving data
