"shoots a horse pulling an Amish buggy with the family in it. Unbelievably he is charged with misdemeanors."
Used to be, 'round here, you get caught red-handed thieving horses or cattle, it was rope, tree, little assembly required, much less trial. Don't know what they'd've done for shooting a horse pulling a family, but it would probably make hanging seem pleasant comparatively.
At least punishment still serves as deterrent. :eyeroll:
"The problem with CA is they are never held accountable for their stupid shit, including massive deficit spending."
Oh, there always comes a reckoning.... eventually.... but meanwhile, yes, "try the patience of a saint" does come to mind.
"Europe has a long history of persecuting Joos."
Vic, trying out his new "subtly understated" mode.
...conservatives will eat that up, favoring intentions over results as they do currently....
Conservatives are interested in winning AFAICT. Just not in selling out on principle to win. That is practically definitional.
I suppose that may be unclear to the unprincipled.
One gains nothing by selling one's soul.
Again, that may be unclear to the soulless.

Thanks. Virtual reality... emphasis is sometimes on 'reality' part.

Ho-kay, then, bizniz as usual. So I can sleep, knowing this.
goodnight, Gracies
Anything of great import I should know aabout from today's AoSHQ commentary? Had to spend my attention elsewhere, today, alas.
Train whistles and thunders a comfortable distance away. Dog rumbles in response. The house is actually warm, almost. And very soon I'll be too asleep to enjoy it all. 
Daily Caller links on my cell just show up as one of those circling the drain symbols, nothing else. Like there's supposed to be an overlay one could close, but, only endless loopy arrow.
Intriguing approach to content.
Process for launching a text link in a new tab from an Ace of Spades HQ comment on the iClone cell running Opera Mini:
1. Press & hollllllld until link highlights, maybe
2. Struggle to move little arrows to actually highlight link; revert to 1 frequently.
3. Tap "select" (if it still shows up, if not, back to step 1)
4. Should the selection menu actually appear, be careful to hit "copy," or it's back to step 1.
5. Hit the little button that brings up what passes for tabs.
6. Stab at a new tab.
7. Press and hollllllld in address bar until the menu pops up.
8. Sometimes accidentally hit "copy"; return to step 1 – otherwise, choose "paste"
9. Waiiiit for keyboard to pop up
10. Hit Enter. Eventually your page may load.

Same thing on, say, a Wordpress blog comment:
1. Press & hollllld on link for menu.
2. Choose "open in new tab."

I always say these things in my head. Don't always get them out.
Mary Cloggenstein's comment seemed rather aimless, almost generic. In need of a good hook on which to hang a harangue these troubled times, perhaps.

Coffee break's over. Everybody back on your knees.
Predicted to be sunny and in the 50s℉ today & tomorrow, 60s on Saturday.
I barely remember what those numbers mean. The remaining ice will be gone by this evening!
But if I could, I'd share those degrees with frozen fellow morons who didn't have the good sense to be in Oklahoma.
ah. coffee cup's empty. read all the way to my last comment. cats have been patient with me, but the time has come for kibbles!
"North Carolina's anti-abortion license plate is unconstitutional because the state doesn't provide the same forum for motorists on the other side of the contentious issue...."
Oklahoma has had these for a long time. I'm surprised this wasn't contested before now, 'cause just what that judgment said was what I thought first time I saw them.
Like prayer in public school or the Commandments on the courthouse lawn, it's an open invitation. Atheists must be protected from religion - it's in the living Constitution!
"Here are the RINOs who voted to spend your money with no strings attached...."
Those DARN Republicans! That DARN GOP!
Oh, wait, wait..., nobody from my Republican state seems to be on the list. WUWT?
