Got all the big stuff, furniture etc moved Saturday afternoon, yay. Haven't got internet turned on there yet, not sure how long it'll take, so I'll be incommunicado for an indeterminate period of time.

A good treatise, IMHO, on the 'videogames cause violence' debacle:

Also, appealing to people's fears is more effective than appealing to either their hopes or their reason.

To be fair, the US has been at war* for over 220 of the years its been in existence, so neither has virtually anybody else. *Depending on how one defines 'war'. If you want to be technical, the US has declared war five times against 11 different nations: War of 1812, Mexican-American War, Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II. Obviously, many 'informal wars' have been fought, such as Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq; calling something a 'war' seems to be a way to get support for it, over 'police action' or 'invasion'.

Argh. I should have said 'windscreen' instead, because England.

I'm going to steal this SO HARD first chance I get.

"And whosoever shall pull the sword from the windshield shall be crowned King of England."

"Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people."

Apropos of nothing, but in the random public league I joined to kind of practice draft, I won my first week game by 0.2 points.

Lessee here now, looking up the US legal code on such things ... one checklist, as ordered. 5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that— (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; (B) appear to be intended— (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States Well, A and C are no-brainers, at the very least.

Seems petty after the last few entries but ... Sweet Solus Prime, moving is a pain in the ass. And back. And shoulders. And legs. What few good vibes I can generate, going out. Good luck.

Oh, if they don't make a worked shoot out of this, they are missing a golden (no pun intended) opportunity, no doubt. They should just go "Okay, Jericho, this is your bit now. Have fun with it."

He's a cute little stinker, eh?

ANGRY FLOOF.

'Bout time, too!

I was totally expecting a Japan joke.

From what my (admittedly little) research indicates, there's an official police report filed, complete with a suspect sketch. You can't work that.

I am beyond surprised McMahon, who we all know takes himself WAY too seriously, is permitting this to air. On the other hand, it reinforces his bad guy 'Mr. McMahon' character that went out of vogue 20 years ago, so it is in keeping with Vince's living-in-the-past philosophy. If the XFL actually succeeds, anybody taking bets on if he tries to revive the World Bodybuilding Federation?

I wouldn't doubt it at all. We know Trumpty-Dumpty is that petty.

Looks like I screwed up and missed my opportunity. Ah well. Have fun, y'all.

If Reagan hadn't gotten rid of the Fairness Doctrine for broadcast journalism, we wouldn't have this problem. We should have not only kept it, but expanded it to include cable/satellite broadcasts in addition to traditional broadcasting. Ronald Reagan, Father of Fake News. Fox News doesn't do retractions because they aren't 'wrong' about things, they're intentionally lying.

Remember when Trump 'jokingly' said that he might try being president for life, like Un and Jinping?

"When the President does it, it's not illegal"? Sounds about right. Our entitled crybaby-in-chief thinks the entire world should bow and scrape to him.

She found them. *whew*
