Fiorina is out. As my Grandma said, thank the Lord for small favors.
and the Bundy Clan now mostly occupying jail cells.
It hasn't been picked up outside of town, apparently, but we just had a terrible tragedy occur here in Mesa County. Some 17 yr. old meth head, who has been stealing guns to stay high, shot and killed Derek Geer, a veteran Mesa county sheriffs 'deputy.
I hope Wayne and Dudley sleep well tonight. As we all know, a good guy with a gun is all it takes to stop a bad guy with a gun…right fellas?
And we wouldn't want tor estrict a 17 year olf meth heads access to guns in any way, would we? Deepest sympathy to Derek Greer's family.
Yes, an inexcusable tragedy. And why is it that the Dudley's of the world never speak up about this kind of crime.
If only that Sheriffs Deputy had a gun to protect himself…oh wait…
Yeah, I feel shitty for making that joke. I'll see myself out.
Latest news from Dumfuqistan….
Of course if they come out with their weapons wackos will blame law enforcement for any resulting deaths of these poor innocent (because they're white folks, not black kids armed with skittles minding their own business) marytrs to the cause of appropriating land that belongs to all of us without paying us the requisite low fees.

3 of 4 now out and under arrest. David Fry is the last, and he's now making it sound as if he want to "live free or die" – e.g. suicide by cop.

He's out now, too. They took the whacko Sovereign Citizen lawyer off the phone and let the FBI negotiator talk to him for a while. Apparently that was enough.
Now to see what's going on with the convoy of "patriots" that has shown up at the checkpoint.
More on Fry surrender and the "helpful" righties who appointed themselves negotiators, fortunately without tragic results.

I'm glad they're getting a handle on these nut cases but I remember Waco (or was it Wacko). After that show was shut down, it spawned Timothy McVeigh and Oklahoma City.
Folks in this country need to work on better mental hygiene.
This was handled a lot better than Wacko was. Wacko was a disaster.
Yep. If you're playing whack-a-mole, the best strategery is probably to wait until the moles have started to pop outta' their holes.
It's over. Despite the tough I’d rather die than yadyadyada talk, apparently with a whimper, no bang.

While everyone carries on about how moderate Kasich is, let's all remember…. moderate compared to what?

This card carrying anti-choice traditional staunch conservative is an example of what is now considered not nearly conservative enough by the 21st century GOP. May it disintegrate and blow away ASAP.
And now, from the "just be glad he won't be your president” department:
Pulled this off of a gay news site I follow out of London. This is what they think of our politics.

Well, one occupier left on the refuge. A lot of talk about watering the tree of liberty and Christ dying young. Not terribly promising.
My son in law is a police officer who once faced a suicide by cop situation. They take a terrible toll on the officers involved.

Hey, everybody. Notice Bernie is now right there on the banner portion of the top line?
Shhhh……now certain people have nothing to bitch about. (But he does deserve to be up there.)
My gd ice-cream is too cold …
… and, it's all Thurston's fault!

I demand that Jim Gilmore goes into the big line!
Why not……they have Casper Stockman up there. Gilmore's got as good a chance at GOP prez nod as Casper has of beating DeGette.
Yup. About time.
Meet Israel's answer to Sarah Palin …
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/12/world/middleeast/israel-anat-berko-palestine.html
And here I really thought she was unique.
This is an old saw. That there's no such thing as a Palestinian people. They're just generic Arabs. All Israel wants is this tiny piece of territory so why don't they go to some other Arab country.
Never mind that these are the people who have lived on said land as the overwhelming majority until about 5 minutes ago in hstoric time. For well over a thousand years the Jewish population of the land which is now the state of Israel was never more than 10%. Even in Roman times more Jews lived in the diaspora. Never mind this is just ike saying nobody should mind if Native Americans kick us all out of our homes on what was their land well over a thousand years more recently than present day Israel was a Jewish country. Right here in Colorado there are people who were driven at gun point from their homes (another old saw is that they all left because they were so sure the Jews would be defeated or that they sold land to Jews fair and square) in what used to be the Arab city of Haifa, the most beautiful old city in Israel/Palestine, who still have the keys to their homes.
BTW the old saws were created mainly for American consumption because American Jews couldn't stand the idea that the founding of Israel wasn't all good guys in white hats stuff. The founders, people like the revered Moshe Dayan and Golda Meir, never pretended there was no violence against the Arab population. They admitted even to a few massacres, taking the view that you can't take over a homeland for your people without breaking a few eggs.
Call them whatever you want. When you take away land that has belonged to a family for generations and hand it over to newly arrived settlers you can't expect them to say… fine, I'll just go to some other country. No problem.
Like.
You have to admit Israeli whack jobs are a lot more erudite than our whack jobs. She even has a ph d, you betcha!
Well, education has always been very important to my tribe.
So, you're a doctor? Oh, that kind of doctor.
Unfortunately no, nor did I marry a Jewish one, initially a big disappointment to mom but she adores my goyish husband all the same. Didn’t hurt that when she met my long drink of water she thought he looked like Gary Cooper. She also now has a grandson who could qualify for membership in the SAR, complete with direct documented descent from a Revolutionary War officer, even though her parents didn't get here until 1921 and who is simultaneously as Jewish as gefilte fish (just don't ty to get him to eat it) since all that's required for that by Jewish law (Don't worry. We won't try to impose it like Sharia law but maybe we need some anti-biblical law legislation just to be on the safe side? Some of it is pretty scary) is a Jewish mom.
Worried about Zika?
Perhaps you should worry about Monsanto pesticides more. In Brazil, recently hyped as ground zero of the Zika epidemic, scientific studies found something surprising – or not surprising.
Sumimoto, a Japanese subsidiary of Monsanto, manufactures Pyriproxyfen to inhibit mosquito larvae in water. The Brazilian state has been spraying croplands in Brazil with Pyriproxyfen, and they found that the Pyriproxyfen -tainted water was the prime cause of the microencephaly birth defect (small heads and brains) in babies drinking that water. Not Zika. Insecticide made by Monsanto's "strategic partner", sprayed over a huge area of Brazil.
Microencephaly is a dreadful handicap for any baby. Zika, which is spread by mosquitoes, is blamed. But the science does not support that causal relationship. The science shows that using a toxic pesticide in the water people drink is causing this terrible birth defect.
Maybe Seinfeld was onto something with his "even-keel Jerry" theory of existence. (You argumentative types will, no doubt point out the Zen/Karmic/Yin-Yang antecedents of even-keelnees. I don't mind, you're only proving my point — that we need your types as much as any others in this universe … to maintain even-keel balance.)
My evidence: LIGO …

and
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/12/science/ligo-gravitational-waves-black-holes-einstein.html?smprod
(If you are off-put by the amazing science, at least watch the video in the second link.)
How does the remarkable intelligence demonstrated by LIGO prove even-keelness you ask? Well, that's only the first half. To keep things even-keel, every LIGO must, naturally, have a Donald J. Trump ( or a Sarah Palin, or a Kardashian, or a Neville, or a Moderatus …) Duh!
(I suppose you have a better explanation for the coexistence of the human race's incredible propensity for unlimited intelligence, and the same limitless propensity for incredible dumbassery?)
And, of course, everywhere you see "keel" in the above post, it should be pronounced as "Steven" …
Duh.
Hillary ran circles around Sanders in their PBS debate. I'm starting to feel better about her chances. For Example, they were asked to name a foreign leader they admire. He praised Winston Churchill. She came back with Nelson Mandela. I wonder which resonated with African American voters.
Despite all the media hype I don' t think there's much chance of Bernie winning the next round of contests with or without HRC doing a good job in debates.Just like there wasn't any chance of hRC winning in New Hampshire. Talking heads gotta talk.
And here's something HRC is doing that is politically smart, for a change. Doubling down on being the best fit for the African American vote that absoluly has to turn out big in the general for a Democrat to win. Not to mention padding her primary wins in the south. Forget all the tension in the past between the Clintons and the President. I'm still pretty sure he made her his SOS on the theory of keeping your friends close and your enemies closer. Time for a Dem running for President remember that Obama's approval rating among African Americans is still sky high and you're not in Iowa or New Hampshire anymore. That’s one thing HRC is apparently not clueless and tone deaf about.

Heck. Hope I didn't make too many mistakes. I must have hit reply instead of edit which kicks you out of editing.
