A prime example is the dudebro attacks I’ve seen on twitter against Cory Booker. I’m sure they are not from NJ, and I just don’t get it.

Smart Dems learned from our mistakes. Only a strong party wins. Thomas & Alito are the price we pay.

Scientists: ‘Dead zone’ showing up in Green Bay

Lake Michigan’s Green Bay is developing a dead zone similar to sections of Lake Erie and the Gulf of Mexico where there’s so little oxygen that few if any fish — or even tiny critters such as insects and worms — can survive, scientists say.

The oxygen-deprived area may cover as much as 40% of the largest freshwater estuary in the Great Lakes, said Tracy Valenta, a water resource specialist with the Metropolitan Sewerage District of Green Bay. The zone starts about 8 miles northeast of the city and can extend more than 30 miles from there, she said.

The problem may have been around for many years but appears to be worsening, she said. In 1990, oxygen was measured at below life-sustaining levels on four summer days. By 2011, the low-oxygen period had reached 43 days.

It’s going to be a rainy and cool day tomorrow here in NC w/a high of 65—that’s about 30 deg cooler than it could be “normally”. It was cool enough this morning that I needed a sweater outside (59 at dawn). It warmed up to around 75.

We’ve only had a couple of 90 deg days when we could normally have a couple of dozen high 90s, even 100, and NC came out of a 7 yr drought about 3 yrs ago. For the most part, July and Aug have been much, much cooler than I can ever remember (weather historian says 70 yrs) with lots and lots of rain. But this pattern of periods of hot and dry, then cooler and rainier, summers has been modeled as part of climate change for the future.

6 Crazy—and Cruel—Things Said by Cory Booker’s New GOP Opponent

1. “I have a handicap, you know. I am a white guy running in the state of New Jersey.”

2. “I’d hate to see you get cancer, but that’s your problem, not mine.”

4. Social Security is a Ponzi scheme and “the biggest single threat facing America today.”

5. A Spanish-language McDonald’s billboard was “divisive” and “unfair”…because it was written in Spanish.

6. Don’t feel sorry for Hurricane Sandy victims because “every day, around this country, somewhere, somebody is suffering a tragedy of equal or worse impact and we don’t run and hand them a check.”

Standard GOP boilerplate stuff…

Just heard a story on NPR about NC Jim Crow Laws 2013 edition. Church buses who pick up multitudes of the elderly over a 200 mile area now have to do it in one week instead of 2. That a food stamp photo id doesn’t count. That the 90+ lady born at home without a birth cert (she’s part of the legal case against) said it was the same as when she was first able to vote in 1956 - the blacks had to wait till the whites were done, making the blacks sit there all day long, not getting to vote “till after dark”.

Standard GOP boilerplate stuff…

Let’s see. Being white didn’t stop Corzine, Christie, or any of the other state’s governors from winning their elections. Didn’t stop any of the white Senators, including Lautenberg winning their elections.

No, the reason you have no chance (and didn’t win in your two prior attempts for the governorship) is that you’re an ass and voters don’t trust you.

It’s not the color of your skin Steve Lonegan, it’s the lack of character and the content of your positions that are odious and reprehensible.

Oh, and he’s not particularly knowledgeable or purposefully misleads people too when he comes up with stuff like how Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme. Ponzi scheme has a very specific meaning - where later participants are paying the earlier ones.

Social Security differs in a specific manner - the government can tax everyone to make up any potential shortfalls; that it doesn’t - or doesn’t tax everyone all all income and sets a cap on income subject to social security taxes, is a policy choice.

And the rest just defies description.

Zero empathy. Zero connection with people who are in harm’s way or need government assistance after natural disasters - the kind that swamps state and local authorities, and which can wipe out an entire lifesavings in moments.

But he feels entitled to run and win the Senate.

He can go pound sand.

Yep. They had lots of stupid weapons and stupider acquisitions that did that. The He-177 Flying Deathtrap and the Hs-179 ground attack plane with barely enough engine to get airborne come to mind. Then there’s the fact that they didn’t have the materials to make use of the good ideas they did have - the StG-44 was twice as heavy as good materials could have made it; they didn’t have enough materials that could stand the high temps in the hot section of the Jumo-004 so they made it weaker drastically shortening the engine’s life expectancy making the jet airframes little more than curiosities.

Egypt crisis: Dozens dead in Egypt ‘day of anger’

bbc.co.uk

Most of the reported deaths were in Cairo, but about 25 were elsewhere, including 12 in Nile Delta cities.

Mr Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood said on Friday that there would be a week of daily rallies across Egypt.

Two days ago the protesters’ camps were cleared, leaving at least 638 dead and sparking international condemnation.

In the wake of Wednesday’s violence, the interior ministry says police have been authorised to use live ammunition “within a legal framework”.

A state of emergency is also in force, including a dusk-to-dawn curfew.

Hot Air for a bit. Kind of boring there. Never did the anti-Jihad sites. Malkin a couple of times.

Door opened. Did Kilgore quit? Or did he not want to be pro-wikileaks??

Guess he just moved on.

Time for me to go back to reading Under the Dome.

Later lizards.

Big fire near the site of Sun Valley Serenade. West dry-East wet. Strange summer. ktvb.com

The Brits really hated the V-2! The force of the Dresden bombings was perhaps in retaliation?

Had to check the dates. They’d had 6 months of it by then.

Ironically enough, it was the complete derpification of Jawa that helped steer me off the path of derpification myself. Up until then, I had been doubling down on the right-wing frenzy - Rush Limbaugh subscriber and everything.

re: #22 Justanotherhuman

It’s going to be a rainy and cool day tomorrow here in NC w/a high of 65—that’s about 30 deg cooler than it could be “normally”. It was cool enough this morning that I needed a sweater outside (59 at dawn). It warmed up to around 75.

We’ve only had a couple of 90 deg days when we could normally have a couple of dozen high 90s, even 100, and NC came out of a 7 yr drought about 3 yrs ago. For the most part, July and Aug have been much, much cooler than I can ever remember (weather historian says 70 yrs) with lots and lots of rain. But this pattern of periods of hot and dry, then cooler and rainier, summers has been modeled as part of climate change for the future.

Can you send some of that rain and cool down here?

We had just over an inch of rain at the house last night (with much donder and blitzen), but none of it fell on our reservoirs, which are almost down to 30% capacity. If projections hold, our drinking water supply will enter “drought of record” territory in 30 days.

Glad Carolina is doing well, but it is the sudden shifts and accelerating pace of change that is predicted by increased warming. And that is manifestly clear in our modern weather patterns.

Welcome to the greenhouse. Strap in!

I am suffering not seeing it on tv. CBS/time warner bs.

Read the book, the tv show is good.

Just popped back to The Nine Sisters, a blog dedicated to the sci-fi film Avalon. The site is still active, with as many as 8 comments a year—the last in 2008. Puts ‘slow night’ in perspective.
