Non-Gaming / Political / Religious Nonsense / Re: North Korea threatens 'final destruction' of South Korea

Is it Tuesday yet? I could sure use some yummy bird for dinner. Top YouTube quote: "To be fair, this is a pretty accurate representation of Detroit." I saw somewhere else that, according to somebody who could understand the underlying narration, the translation is...shall we say, a little fanciful. The original narration is about the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Yeah, you're getting it third-hand through me, but a dose of skepticism is in order. The English translation is propaganda. Are you saying I can't trust the Internet? At least it is a funny hoax.

We both were complaining earlier that he was being too much of an alarmist. Now that he's stopped doing that, you're STILL saying he's wrong.
Aren't you talking about two different things? Obama was running around screaming the end of the world if the Sequestration happened and the budget was cut by 2%. Weeks later and the zombies have yet to emerge. However, adding more than a trillion dollars a year to the debt, well, some might call that irresponsible and unpatriotic.

I am sorry to see this service end on July 1st. It has been suggested that I switch from RSS to twitter feeds. Other ideas?

I can't prove that, of course, but it seems like Mike Riggs might be simply ignorant and lazy.
Mike's follow-up article. Democrats and Republicans alike (though especially Republicans) long considered the 19-year-old, scandal-plagued NDIC a huge waste of time and money; more than anything, a reminder of former Democratic Rep. John Murtha's ability to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars worth of pork back to Pennsylvania's 12th district. President Bush tried to close it four times. Sen. Tom Coburn wanted it shut down. The DEA thought it was a joke. The Office of National Drug Control Policy and the Office of the Director of National intelligence didn't need it or want it.

Does gas go bad sitting in cars? How are they still driving around a year later?
Watching the Gov shooting into the air and standing in the open while bullets fly around him makes him seem like an idiot.
The prisoner had to die so there wouldn't be any conflict over the girl when Daryl returned.
Why would Michonne stop killing the zombies from the truck? There weren't that many and they were spread out.

Because he might actually be funny.
Unlike Kimmel on the Emmys? We need more hosts like Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes. Someone needs to have the guts to mock these celebrities to their face.

Sexbots....always go with Sexbots.
Are Sexbots the cause of your Apocalypse, or is this how you're spending it, hiding in a cave while the rest of humanity self-destructs?

I'll probably give it to The Mongoliad since Cold Day I felt Jim Butcher is just going through the motion.
Hells bells, but you're correct. Best nonfiction I read this year: “Under the Banner of Heaven” by Jon Krakauer “The Better Angels of our Nature” by Steven Pinker Best fiction: “The Yiddish Policemen's Union” by Michael Chabon “Mongoliad: Book One” by Neal Stephenson

Not much in the way of Jupiter's cock though they certainly tried to maintain the gratuitous sex and violence of the first season. Nice Shakespeare paraphrase to end the episode:
