In regards to salvage:

When the search for survivors and bodies is complete, Dutch salvage firm Smit International will remove the vessel’s fuel as requested by the ship’s owner and insurer. Smit has also offered to remove the wreckage of the Costa Concordia, but the owner has not contracted any firm for this. Carnival Corporation has issued an investor disclosure stating that “The vessel is expected to be out of service for the remainder of our current fiscal year if not longer.”

On 16 January, the CEO of Costa said that the ship could be refloated by giant inflatable buoys and then tugged away. However, he called it “one of the most difficult [undertakings] in the world.”

The Costa Concordia weighs 114,500 tons. The Titanic only weighed 46,328 tons.

IDF preparing for major Gaza operation within months

Concern growing over anti-tank missile smuggling into the Strip; senior officer says Hamas, Islamic Jihad weaponry has grown significantly; Gov’t hasn’t ordered to launch operation, but army preparing to be at the ready.

The IDF General Staff has ordered the Southern Command to prepare for a possible large Gaza operation that could occur within the next few months, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

Preparations include finalizing operational plans and distributing them between the various units that would be deployed inside Gaza.

That wasn’t actually the accusation leveled against you.

I’m not sure how many times this has to be typed out:

When you do stupid, stupid shit like revel in the pepper-spraying of two women while calling them Marxist trust-funders, it hurts your credibility and makes you look like a violence-junkie. That the Birch Society and others called ‘commie’ and “marxist” on Civil Rights organizers and marchers is entirely true— as is the fact that some of the Civil Rights organizers were, in fact, communists.

Plenty of other people managed substantive criticism of OWS without resorting to the hyperbole, outright fabrications, and love for violence you displayed. Acting all petulant about getting shit for having been a wildly inaccurate, occasionally ranting critic of OWS rather than a reasoned and sober one— where does that get you, exactly?

What audience are you trying to play to, with this appeal?

The guy who got 17% in NH—Huntsman—drops out, while the guy who got 0.7% there—Perry—stubbornly stays in. The far far right’s dream of a doctrinaire “true” conservative challenging Romney is slipping away.

Huntsman supporters, though few in number, are slightly moderate and likely to gravitate towards Romney. And the far right evangelical vote is still divided among the three remaining non-Romneys—Newt, Rick and Rick.

Paul’s too weird to fit into any category, except old lunatic.

On the other hand, I never got Limbaugh’s appeal, either, and people apparently really enjoy listening to him. He’s a stammering guy with a soupy voice and he generally repeats things about five times; if he was saying things i thought were great I’d still have a hard time listening to him.

re: #111 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

My wife has run into quite a few in med school— it’s inevitable, since there’s so much information churn, that professors will sometimes not know something that a student does, just ‘cuz the student read it in a journal or somesuch. But it’s a rare prof that can take that with good grace.

Limbaugh’s resentment level is always turned up to 11. So he gets the angry right wingers who see liberals as an economic and social threat to real America. He also makes conservative white racists feel justified by appropriating victimology rhetoric and pointing out the alleged worse racism on the other side. Sick nativist reactionary BS, but it works on a lot of people in a country this big and diverse.
