Their first iteration of this nonsense wasn’t any better.
They got the IRA scandal going then too.
I’m pretty sure they’re referring to the so-called IRS scandal, but who knows.
It’s interesting though that they didn’t think that Benghazi was that important when they first posted this sign. I’m pretty sure that the prisoner exchange (Bergdahl) came after Benghazi.
And on top of the typos and choice of font, they also decided not to capitalize the “fraud” in “Voter fraud”. Someone forgot to include a copy editor when they sent that off.

I looked ‘em up.
Just in the last couple of weeks, another billboard has been installed. This one is on Highway #180 about 2 miles south of the Butterfield Trail rest stop on the way to Deming. This billboard is 4’ x 16’. It is the result of lengthening the previous billboard to make it large enough to be easily read by moving traffic. Trust me, you can read this one! It says, “IMPEACH” on one side and “LAST CHANCE” on the other. The next sign project undertaken by the sign committee will be “Burma Shave” type signs along various strategic highways. That’s about all we have left in the budget—well, unless a benefactor comes forward. You can believe this, even if we don’t draw large crowds to our meetings there will be thousands of people reading these signs. They will be at work 24-7 getting our message out—and that message is we think our country is worth taking back from this regime that is trying to steal it away. THANKS, SIGN COMMITTEE.
24-7, except when it’s, you know, dark out. I see no lights. That’s not a security camera at the top right, is it? Asking for a friend…

There was one case of voter fraud in that district in 2012. A Republican tried to vote twice to see whether it could be done. The judge threw it out because ‘he didn’t mean any harm’ or some such thing.
So when the sign says Voter fraud, it might be a promotion rather than a condemnation. Maybe that goes for all the categories.

NFL admits that 30% have brain damage. The science is essentially showing that nearly everyone who has played in the NFL is at risk of brain damage from the hits sustained over a lifetime of playing the sport. The longer you play, the increasing likelihood of having these brain injuries/damage.

Another thing that people say but has never been demonstrated.
(By the way, there’s no empirical basis for the oft-repeated claim that 78 percent of football players are bankrupt or nearly broke within two years of retiring. It appears to have been popularized by a sociologist and former player named Ken Ruettgers, who told me that “nobody really knows where it comes from.”)

I worked with a guy who was a network engineer and in his cube he had pictures of a dude in a chargers uniform and all kinds of memorabilia. Then I put two and two together his last name was Williams and the jersey said Williams.
I was like “wow you used to play for the chargers, why’d you leave to do this?”. He said he did so because he had a daughter and wanted a job he was less likely to get hurt doing.

And there are hundreds more who never made it that far due to not quite enough talent, or an injury terminating a potential career before the payday occurred. Though those that washout earlier obviously probably do not rack up the same number of collisions leading to damage due to repetitions.
Which is also true of the other sports that potentially lead to professional careers. Though few are as physical collision happy as football.

The minimum pay scale for a player in the seventh round is set at $2,270,496 over four years.
Its true that a rookie drafted late will make only $50k, but if that is the only year of his career then he’s unlikely to suffer much damage from playing in the NFL. And even that beats working for $7.25 an hour or being unemployed.

OK, but if you told a bunch of inner city kids that football is being banned as dangerous, how many of them do you think will refocus on academics instead of just giving up on school completely? Remember, they have to meet some basic academic levels to qualify for a college scholarship, and it may be that the prospect of a football career is the only thing that gets many of them to crack open a book at all.

Pro athletes do it not just for the opportunities and money. They play because they LOVE what they do. To be able to take it to the professional level isn’t just an exemplary achievement, it’s challenging and fun. It’s for most (I think I can safely say) the gift of a lifetime that they will always cherish even with the injuries. I’ve never met one, including the one I was married to, who ever expressed a single regret.

Ferguson Demands High Fees to Turn Over City Files
Bureaucrats in Ferguson, Missouri, responding to requests under the state’s Sunshine Act to turn over government files about the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, are charging nearly 10 times the cost of some of their own employees’ salaries before they will agree to release any records.
The move discourages journalists and civil rights groups from investigating the shooting and its aftermath.
The city has demanded high fees to produce copies of records that, under Missouri law, it could give away free if it determined the material was in the public’s interest to see. Instead, in some cases, the city has demanded high fees with little explanation or cost breakdown. It billed The Associated Press $135 an hour — for nearly a day’s work — merely to retrieve a handful of email accounts since the shooting.
That fee compares with an entry-level, hourly salary of $13.90 in the city clerk’s office, and it didn’t include costs to review the emails or release them. The AP has not paid for the search.

Kind of a condescending attitude there.
Maybe football players are different from basketball players.
Most of the college basketball players I know are very serious about their education and look at that college sports scholarship to get an actual education. Football players, not so much.
I say this as someone who was a university professor who taught (among other things) Humanities 101. I had all kinds of sports scholarship students in my classes. Football players were the absolute worst; not all, but for the most part they were just marking time until the NFL draft came around. The other sports scholarship students were looking for something more realistic and worked hard at that goal.

Texas patient confirmed as first Ebola case diagnosed in US
DALLAS - A Texas man just back from West Africa has been confirmed as having the first case of Ebola to be diagnosed in the U.S.
Authorities with the Centers for Disease Control revealed the finding Tuesday, a day after the unidentified patient arrived at a Dallas hospital with suspicious symptoms.
Officials at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas put the man into “strict isolation” and sent a specimen to the CDC in Atlanta for testing.
The CDC said preliminary results show the man has the deadly disease which has been linked to more than 3,000 recent deaths in Africa. According to the World Health Organization, there have been more than 6,500 cases confirmed in Africa, with Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone among the hardest hit.
Dr. Christopher Perkins with the Dallas County health department told reporters that the Texas man didn’t start showing symptoms until he arrived home.
“We know at this time this person was not symptomatic during travel but became symptomatic once arriving here and being home for several days,” said Perkins, according the Dallas Morning News. “So that decreases the threat that might be to the general population.”

re: #180 Backwoods_Sleuth
OK, can we remove the Secret Service from the oversight of DHS now and put it back under the US Treasury where it used to be? And has the SS EVER been this lax under any other President? Because I’m seeing an ugly pattern here and I don’t think the current head of SS is totally to blame for that. I also wonder how much funding they lost in that move.
This is fucked up, and I’m kinda having a hard time not attributing this mess to a dislike and disrespect of this particular President.

When Eric, son of Eric, said heads should roll, I sorta agreed.
After hearing this, yeah….I HAVE to agree.
Heads should roll for this, undermanned and underfunded or not….

He seems to be arguing in favor of increasing government benefits for the working poor, rather than increasing pay for the poor. And after saying nobody can say what the job effect of raising the minimum wage would be, he goes on and says what it would be. And ignores that those who benefit from increasing minimum wage will buy more goods, leading to more employment.

Already there on the exploding freeper string (300 comments in 61 minutes):
And Obama laughs.
Bring the U.S. to its knees, let it experience what the poor black third world experiences…as he and his family prepare to take off for complete safety.
Filthy, cursed POS.

Yep. This is orchestrated. What better State than Texas to have this dubious honor. The left would love to destroy Texas FIRST.
***
Well it looks like King Obama figured out a way to mess with Texas.
They are also castigating Obama for leaving the border open, even though the guy arrived on a commercial flight; and Muslims, though there is no evidence at all that he is Muslim or has been to a Muslim country. Lot of hating on Mexicans, too, for no apparent reason. Possibly the freepers think Liberia is in Mexico or the Middle East.

I used to feel bad for the Secret Service, figuring that trying to protect the 1st black President in a country loaded with unhinged racists was a nearly impossible job.
Now I’m really beginning to wonder if the Secret Service is trying to get Obama killed at this point. Like maybe there’s some Freeper in a fairly important position at the agency.

Someone essentially fired live ammo into the First Family’s living area, and the Secret Service ignored it for four days.
That shit would have never stood under Reagan or W. Fuck, Dick Cheney would have declared Martial Law in DC until they caught the person.

DHS is what you get when a bunch of panicky lawmakers slam together a bunch of disparate organizations in order to appear that they are dealing with a threat which none of those lawmakers actually knew much about at the time. Let us never forget that Joe Lieberman, in his role as Chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, led the fight to create DHS in the first place.

re: #108 aagcobb
Pardon me, this is breaking the flow to reply to something you said downstairs; due to my time difference I didn’t get back to that thread but I didn’t want to let this go.
When I said that I was afraid back in 2007 that if Cheney decided to launch a coup he’d be able to get away with it, you said
I’m sorry, that is just moonbat silly. Even Cheney wasn’t nuts enough to do that, and even if he was, everyone would’ve objected.
Here’s the thing: that’s exactly what fucking happened in 2000. And he got away clean, with the media and even the “opposition” in government going, nope, move along, nothing to see here.
So it’s not as if such a thing would have been unprecedented.
Carry on.
