While the focus has been on American politics of late, lets throw in something from the UK side of it.. Why I've Finally Given Up On The Left

Yeah, the way she jumps in on Ziost is a wee bit irritating.

John Carter wasn't a remake. It was the adaption of some of the classic golden age space opera books. Pretty much the originators of so many sci-fi clichés. I actually quite liked the film. They hashed up the story a lot, but managed to capture the general feel and atmosphere of it all quite well.

Battle of Britain - 75 years on And He Still Wakes Every Day by 4am

Finally got around to wrapping up the Trooper storyline. Definitely has an anti-climactic feel compared to the other third acts.

Hm, for those Arrow fans out there.. Arrow's Manu Bennett Arrested on Assault Charge

I just don't want to google news about her for fear of making my search engines think I'm that interested in what is going on or that she's more popular than she deserves..

For the general interest.... Author Earnings - 2015 Author Earnings Report If you want the serious breakdowns and all the pretty charts and data, follow the link.

So, did I hear right that she's now talking about running for Governor of Kentucky? Or is that just the internet carrying it too far...?

A police officer called the station on his radio. "I have an interesting case here. An old lady shot her husband for stepping on the floor she just mopped." "Have you arrested the woman?" "Not yet. The floor's still wet."

Some good habits to consider... The Child is the Father to the Man

Well that analogy kind of breaks down when the core philosophy of the group in question is "actually, society absolutely does not treat these disadvantaged groups as if they're of equal worth to the rest of them, maybe we should do something about that". The trouble is, half the time it seems that what they then proceed to do is rather than ensure that the disadvantaged groups are treated better per se, what they seem to set out to do is actually cripple or at least handicap the groups they don't consider to be disadvantaged. At times it can come across in the vein of "Oh, look, you have a very smart child, so rather than teach him to his fullest extent, we'll teach him the basics, and then spend all our time on the kids who we consider to be not smart." There comes a point where being anti-elitist crosses into anti-elite (slightly different things) and you then cripple everybody to the "slowest" person because that's "fair", rather than focus on trying to get everybody to their maximum potential.

Well, to 1up with pain to my ego... the university Christmas party I got ridiculous drunk and happened to be wearing cheesy musical socks. So all my friends remember me puking up, and every time I upchucked my ankles would bang together and tinny, electronic "jingle bells" would play... oh my ego was in agony the next day.

I went to a friends birthday celebration. Which in this case, meant going to a roller disco where an obscene amount of 80's music was played. Thus, I had to try to remember what to do when wearing roller skates. Something I haven't had to do in a decade. Or two. Still, after about 3 hours of skating while under the disco lights, I did only fall down the once.

They did do it by dropping a moon on him. So it was spectacularly silly.

Yeah, it's pretty much done in that.. things happening in the background. It was a jarring note. Just wait for more.
