What a terrible thing to say about someone's father on the basis of one offhand remark.

Coincidentally my problem is, in fact, that no one is paying me.

Cheap rent with a friend and the ability to move right back out again. I was laid off recently just as I was about to move for work and the choices were be homeless in LA, be homeless in Dallas, or move back into my old room in Jacksonville.

I enjoyed living in Florida, and I'm moving back, but I can confirm that they are both visually,and societaly, North America's dong.

So you're saying my father was wrong; crying will solve something?

Several of the trade groups that sued New York "vociferously lobbied the FCC to classify broadband Internet as a Title I service in order to prevent the FCC from having the authority to regulate them," today's 2nd Circuit ruling said. "At that time, Supreme Court precedent was already clear that when a federal agency lacks the power to regulate, it also lacks the power to preempt. The Plaintiffs now ask us to save them from the foreseeable legal consequences of their own strategic decisions. We cannot."

This has to be one of the better, legal “go fuck yourselves” I’ve ever seen.

Isn’t this just the story of the allied powers in World War Two repackaged into science fiction? The members were:

The British who were sort of friends with the Americans but regarded them as less civilized and less experienced in running a nation.

The French who literally fought the Hundred Years’ War against the English.

The Soviets who didn’t like any of those people and proceeded to argue with all of them thereafter.

The Americans who had existed for a little over a century, invented the nuke after winning a fight with a World power in an ascendant phase, and decided it was on them to guarantee World peace.

The Free Beacon is a rag. All of the charges they are talking about are their own. The article focuses on only one of the charges as it’s the only one not already specifically addressed by a plagiarism investigation sparked by their own charges. That one instance seems to center around two paragraphs and two footnotes. Only one of the paragraphs is more than one sentence long and all of them are descriptions of the contents of sections of the voting rights act. It would be pretty tough to reword that content in too many ways. Oh, and the article straight up admits that the author she supposedly plagiarized looked over the sections and told them that they come nowhere near academic plagiarism. There, now no one else needs to read that substance-less dreck.

Oh, and weren’t The Free Beacon the ones who funded Fusion GPS opo until the Steele dossier came out and they decided to trash fusion without ever telling anyone they were the ones funding them?

So the company selling bogus aircraft parts is called AOG (Aircraft on Ground)?
