Mythbusters did prove that a blind person can drive with direction. And if the person giving direction is drunk, the blind person drives like they’re drunk too!
At the Mythbusters’ museum exhibit (yes, I am an unashamed fan, shush), they have something where you can give a partner driving directions based on a screen. It was funny to watch kids who can’t drive in real life try it. I am pleased to say that, for the most part, I can tell my husband what to do fairly well.

I just added Joan Walsh of Salon to my list for her effusiveness in stroking Rand Paul.
She’s giving himl “credit” for his rebuttal tonight, and called him “consistent” and principled, and welcomes him to Emoprogville.
Surely she understands he won’t return the favor?

I’m sort of curious when it became common for the opposing party to deliver a rebuttal to every single address of the President to the American public. I thought they used to save it just for the State of the Union, but at this point it seems to be every single time.

Do you give them reaction times, too?
The person driving or Mythbusters?
With my husband, he can tell the difference between “OH GOD TURN RIGHT NOW NOW NOW NOW” and “there’s a right coming up” without having to have it clearly stated. Thankfully.
I did try the “hanging on the edge by your fingertips” myth. It did not end well.

The definition of “Legally Blind” also slightly differs from common usage of blind and I’m pretty sure more than a few people who require glasses or contact lenses to drive are technically legally blind without them.

As a coda to the article, the Social Security definition for legal blindness includes the use of correcting lenses - you cannot be “legally blind” if lenses correct your vision past 20/200 (or various field of view tests).
I was curious.

re: #22 Dr Lizardo

So, the headline is really wrong.
I worked for an ophthalmologist as a young woman and we prescribed some very strong lenses for some people. None were ever denied a license, to my knowledge. Even cataract patients were able to continue driving once the cataracts were removed (contact lenses were starting to be used back then, in the early 60s, replacing those heavy corrective lenses).
Corrected vision means just what it says. I was very myopic at the time and the dr used to kid me about being “almost legally blind”. Now, I don’t need corrective lenses for anything—distance or close vision.

Scott Walker gave a doozy of an interview with Democracy Now during last year’s Republican convention, that somehow got lost in the shuffle.
In the tirade, Walker (who not only wants all abortions banned, but believes that garden-variety birth control bills are “abortificants” and should also be banned) takes offense to being asked a general question about the issue of reproduction rights, calling it “ridiculous” to bring up “an issue only the media wants to talk about” and saying that “women I talk-to in my state never talk about that isssue.”

Distinctly less wonderful is this: rightwingwatch.org
After a lengthy interview with Jan Markell about President Obama’s supposed push for an Islamic caliphate, Michele Bachmann spoke to the Christian Right radio host about the 2016 presidential election, immigration reform and the Last Days.
Bachmann pushed back on Markell’s fear that Hillary Clinton will be elected president: “I don’t at all because I look at the story of David and Goliath, all David needed was one smooth stone to fell the giant. It wasn’t the stone, it wasn’t David, it was the strong right arm of a Holy God.”
She said that if “we repent, if we cry out to God, we have no idea what the Lord God will do for us in 2016.”
…
Bachmann then explained how she sees the “signs of the times.”
“We are in times that are unprecedented,” Bachmann said. “These are the times of birth pangs, we’re seeing the intensity of age and the speed and rapidity that these events are starting to speed up so fast that we can hardly get our minds about it.”
Marell lamented “that many are heartbroken because we’ve watched this wonderful country of ours just tank more and more and more because of this secular humanist, hardcore, atheistic, left who is hell bent on socialism for America.”

Reading through my journal entries from 12 years ago, thinking about tomorrow.
To those who lost loved ones, to those who lost their innocence, we do remember. Not in the political way, but in the personal way.
They spoke in school about history being made. History wasn’t made yesterday. It was burned. It was burned into the hearts and minds of every person who watched those towers come crashing down. It was burned into the memories of those who lived through it and those who merely watched.
It was burned, inexorably, into the lives of those who lost loved ones.
All those burned will never be the same again.
The day the Japanese struck Pearl Harbor was a day that would live in infamy. What would they say today? What label would they put on an action that took the lives of so many people - and didn’t even have the courage to admit it? What would this day be to them? Worse? Better? Another feeling to dangerous to contemplate?
It burns. How it burns.
It burns the people who have seen this before - and who had hoped never to see it again. It burns the people who see this now - and wished that they had never seen it at all. It burns their hearts. It burns their souls.
It burns the souls of children, children who do not know and do not need to know what it feels like. Children who now know all too well. It burns their hearts and minds and souls and their tears. Nothing burns like the tears.
It burns.
I remember her dad. I remember his dad’s girlfriend. I didn’t know them, but I saw the ripples and I remember.
I saw the ripples for those who made it out but still carried the scars. I remember them too.
Tomorrow is not about Benghazi, although there is loss there too. Tomorrow is about the people and the loss. The politics don’t have a place there.

I’m not sure how surrendering their chemical weapons to avoid an attack that was intended largely to prevent them from using CWs again is ‘undercutting’ Obama. Is there an impression somewhere that Obama really, really wanted to bomb Syria, and is disappointed that he didn’t get to?
If, back at the start of the Iraq War, when Bush issued the ultimatum to Saddam to abdicate and leave Iraq, Saddam had complied, would that have been seen as ‘undercutting’ Bush?

It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out. It’s all a choreographed dance until one side sees an opening to make a move. That could be years from now.

I think I actually won an argument on Facebook once. Hard to tell. I was arguing with a Libertarian, and said the problem with Libertarianism is that it only works till one person realizes he has the power to exploit others. He said, ‘But you don’t have the right to exploit others. That’s what people don’t get about Libertarianism!’
So I asked him how you exercise your right not to be exploited, without regulations against it, and a government to enforce it.
Never saw him again.

Husband retired military, currently living at their third(paid off) home in Canada. Where ovomitcare is causing her insurance to go through the roof.
I had to abort the mission, I was nice even til the end. I told her she was nasty and hateful, but you know, I’m rude. I normally avoid this shit like the plague, but she started in on hard working people being stupid because they give all their money to the government. She went on and on about being sick of HER country being taken over by progressive commies. When I pointed out it was OUR country not hers, I was the rude one. Asshole, hope one of her horses throws her into a lake.
With the truly brainlocked, here is better strategy: Ramp up the dialogue quickly to some crazy Trotskyite paleoMarxist shit. You’re not trying for a ‘win’, you’re going for an aneurysm.

I cut all wingnuts out of my life. I can’t be friends with these people.
Have done the same thing. I just can’t take the hate and lies anymore.

LOL. ROTFLMAO. I should have, but I was really trying to win her over with my sunny disposition and stuff. I gave up, no reaching her, she refused to even admit we were both Americans for fuck’s sake.
You sir are evil. I like that in a person.

I’ve gotten defriended by relatives and high school classmates for having the temerity to point out the factual errors in their re-posts. Nothing pisses off a wingnut faster than the truth.

The definition of “Legally Blind” also slightly differs from common usage of blind and I’m pretty sure more than a few people who require glasses or contact lenses to drive are technically legally blind without them.
Count me in as one of those. No glasses, no driving. Reading a book, forget about it. Can see, but not identify large objects at a distance (20 ft plus).
I am NOT someone you would want either driving or in control of a weapon without my glasses. Hell I can’t even read what I am typing here unless I am within 6 inches of the monitor.
My glasses are THE FIRST THING I REACH FOR in the morning. If I can’t find them. I go into search/panic mode. I need them to see.
Without them, I am pretty much useless and dependent upon those around me. Not a comfortable place to be in.

Me too. I have about 6 diopters of near-sightedness correction in each eye. Well past the point where the 20/x visual acuity scale has any meaning.
