This is the one and only other MMO I am considering playing, simply because I am an Elder Scrolls addict. Which, of course, means you are hereby required to do as klys asks and put the game down long enough to tell us all about it.

Harry Reid is set to go nuclear

washingtonpost.com

“With Senate Republicans blocking a third Obama nomination to the powerful D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, a senior Senate Democratic leadership aide tells me Reid is now all but certain to move to change the Senate rules by simple majority — doing away with the filibuster on executive and judicial nominations, with the exception of the Supreme Court - as early as this week.

“Reid has become personally invested in the idea that Dems have no choice other than to change the rules if the Senate is going to remain a viable and functioning institution,” the aide says. That’s a long journey from where Reid was only 10 months ago, when he agreed to a toothless filibuster reform deal out of a real reluctance to change the rules by simple majority. Asked to explain the evolution, the aide said: “It’s been a long process. But this is the only thing we can do to keep the Senate performing its basic duties.”

“They’ve [Republicans] boxed themselves in — their position allows them no leeway,” the aide says, in characterizing Reid’s thinking. “This is not a trumped up argument about the qualification of a nominee. They are saying, `we don’t want any nominees.’”

Today’s November 19. Rep Trey Radel (R-FL), was arrested October 29. How come there’s a wee bit of a delay between the time that he was arrested and this became news?

Google News shows nothing about an arrest or charges until today.

But he had time to go and introduce yet another GOP effort to delay/destroy/deny Obamacare bill.

Hola Lizards!

Ran the job interview gauntlet for a data visualization software company today. I was there for over four hours. Did the HR screening, then the software exercise, then the critical thinking interview, then the sales pitch where you have to sell pens, then a final interview with the recruiting director. I’m exhausted. When I was leaving, the employees I shared an elevator with told me I got the abridged version of the usual interview process. Oy. I can’t even imagine the real one.

Now that it’s done, I am confused and not sure how to take things. Instead of direct sales, they think my strengths lean more towards their Existing Business/Customer Success Manager role and want to set up a follow-up interview with me to talk to the director of that program for the end of the week. Thing is, that team hasn’t expanded to Austin yet, although they’re planning on expanding here “soon”.

I know that the critical thinking interviewer liked me. He offered to connect on LinkedIn and complimented me. The sales pitch guy told me I was successful at winning him over. I also flew through the software exercises without breaking a sweat, and I’m being offered a follow-up call, so they must have liked something about me. I just don’t know how to take being told that I’m more suited to a team that hasn’t expanded to here yet.

New in pages: Lubbock student shot dead at Falwell’s Liberty U.

An honor student from Lubbock was shot and killed by a Liberty University police officer early this morning. The shooting happened in a women’s residence hall after the male student reportedly attacked the officer with a hammer. The dead student, one Joshua Hathaway, was salutatorian at Lubbock’s Southcrest Christian High this spring and was attending Liberty on a Fulbright scholarship.

That’s a cool production.

I almost hate to point out that the song made the list of 10 Classic Rock Songs That Are Also Epic Mansplanations.

I’m sure I could come up with ten songs I found more offensive than those, but they might not qualify as ‘mansplanations’. The best thing about that article, though, is that it made this happen:

On a related noted, I’ve always felt that Don Henley’s “End of the Innocence” has some rather creepy undertones to it:

But I know a place where we can go

And the tall grass wave in the wind
You can lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense

This is the end of the innocence.

No kidding. Nothing makes sense here. Note that Hathaway first approached the officer claiming that he had been robbed and his car stolen. He then inexplicably attacked the officer with a hammer. This happened at four in the morning in an off campus women’s dorm. To top it all, the story identifies the documentation for the incident as “search warrants” (which Liberty does not have the authority to issue).

I guess I don’t understand how a Fulbright scholarship works, and I sure as hell don’t understand why someone who received one would choose Liberty University.

My understanding of the Fulbright is that it would not be used in this country unless the recipient is not an American citizen. Hathaway may not be an American, or the source, KCBD TV, may be in error. The same source put Lynchburg “500 miles west of Lubbock” (which would be in Arizona) so I suspect the second possibility.

No way he ran up $2.5 million in attorneys’ fees for that case. Was his defense expensive? Of course. $2.5 million? Not a chance.

In one breath, they love to bray about how nobody watches MSNBC in general and Bashir’s (admittedly unwatchable) show in particular.

In the next breath, they are deeply offended that MSNBC and Bashir occasionally veers into gutter talk.

If MSNBC is REALLY as irrelevant as they claim, they should probably not obsess about what goes on there for DAYS at a time it seems to me.

Thanks! I don’t do the Twitters.

The RWNJs won’t notice—they’re too busy pounding their memes about that awful Kenyan Marxist in the WH, among other character assassinations of the President.

Want to feel a little nauseated?

Polls have closed in Albuquerque. Follow reports on results of the attempt to ban abortions in the city at this blog:

Albuquerque will have attention from throughout the nation tonight when results come in from a proposal to ban abortions after 20 weeks.

Albuquerque would be the first municipality to institute such a ban if it passes — and the attention on the controversial issue is driving a large turnout for the election. Early voting doubled that of the municipal elections last month that featured a mayoral election. Day of voting seems to be keeping pace with the election day voting in October, meaning this election could have tens of thousands more votes than the mayoral election.

And on a local level there is a very important race in Albuquerque’s city council district 7. Incumbent Janice Arnold-Jones received just under 50 percent of the vote in a three-way race in October and so faced a runoff against Diane Gibson.

With the results from October’s elections, that means control of the city council will come down to this election. Arnold-Jones is a Republican and Gibson is a Democrat. While Albuquerque city elections are officially non-partisan, voting on the city council often ends up on party lines.

NM Telegram will try to keep up with all the action throughout the evening from the final vote rush after work, through the end of voting and until the last results are tallied in the liveblog below.

The blog is run by the guy with this twitter account:

He’s a rarely-seen lizard.
