Repost from the #tomorrow thread yesterday:
" … the associations between sadism and GAIT (Global Assessment of Internet Trolling) scores were so strong that it might be said that online trolls are prototypical everyday sadists."
Most likely to troll? Vicarious sadists. Followed by, direct sadists, psychopaths, machiavellians, and narcissists, respectively.

Morning, Glories.
I enjoyed the post, been enjoying the comments, but I'm fading fast after a long day, which included burying a cat. (Son & daughter dug & spared the old man's back.)
Last night's replies about ol' Jack's death were much appreciated by Jack's family.
Good night, Gracies.
And remember the gracious words our Lord said

You want… a completely revamped commenting section.
You'll settle for… being able to use more than low-ASCII characters, and not being on port 1080.
You'll get… plaid maps that enwiden the blog.

Why would you pay $150 for a fake Chinese DL when apparently California passes DLs out like candy, regardless of citizenship, age, literacy, or blindness? 
Speaking of Lois Lerner, Drudge headline:

Wtf?

Just to read
it tastes like chicken.
Anthropogenic global warming
climate change
climate disruption
wealth re-distribution
The science is settled.
Morning, Glories.
Before I plow into the comments, here's this, which I mentioned on tree ONT:
Yesterday, 5:55pm CDST, Jack, 17yo big brendle shorthair, pet of many houses and two families, brilliant and mellow cat, passed away , in the arms of his best friend, our daughter, who had been with him continuously for about a day and a half. He leaves behind many friends, both two- and four-footed.
The Lord gives us these magnificent animal friends, and takes them away again, always too soon. Thank you, heaven. Good night, Jack. Miss you already.
And I have to add, that usually mean old overnight bunch had surprisingly many nice things to say in response. Guess you have to catch them at the right level of intoxication.

Okay, now to news. Did Gabe say Obama started the Syrian-Israeli war…?
Hoist a glass to a friend now gone.
Good night, Gracies.
Good night, Jack.

Will do mw & 4ff. Good friends and tough to lose.
Goodbye, Jack. Console your daughter - know he had a true friend.
Good night, mindful.
Mindful, condolences on the loss. I can't imagine what I'm going to feel like when my furry friend laying on the floor here beside me goes.

Give your daughter an extra hug. Sorry for your loss.
Mindful....
Can't type much through the tears. But, my glass raised high to the memory of Jack, my toast, a quiet sob.
My most sincere condolences, to you, your family, and all who knew and were "Friends of Jack."
