Considering that the announcement that she was getting her own show came about a month after Stewart announced he was retiring, my guess is that Bee’s deal was already in place. So, it’s probably more somewhere around Cleveland Browns continually drafting quarterbacks to play behind bad offensive lines.
Heh, just realized a good response to the Bernie “momentum” nonsense: “Everything gains momentum when it’s plummeting towards the ground.”

From what I read they were interviewing people long before Stewart announced and Bee said she was never interviewed or even considered for the gig. I can’t find the article now, so take it with a grain of salt but if that’s true it’s a colossal mess up on Comedy Central’s part
In fact the definition of firearm here is so broad the city council had to go back in and specifically exempt “Nerf-type” guns by name.

Because guns are objects of worship in the US, as we all know.
That said, I’d like to see the reaction of 2nd amendment nut jobs to a proposal to allow anyone allowed to open carry a gun to also be allowed to bear two swords in public like samurai in feudal Japan.

It just goes on and on. A kid by himself in the basement of his own home shooting bits of paper at inanimate targets with a rubber band would also appear to be unlawful conduct under this ordinance if the home is in Simi Valley, since it is illegal for any such ‘firearm’ to be discharged within 300 yards of any person, building, vehicle, or structure within city limits.

All we are saying…is give peace a chance!
I appreciated that you raised the point. Others eventually updinged the image too as is their right.
To me it is similar to people saying someone is acting retarded or calling someone a retard. That has grown to be less and less accepted, but people still do it. I think that is along the lines of your take on the post with the *joke* image. You didn’t like it. I certainly understood your view.
But I also understood the pun and the cuteness of the dog, and why some people would see it as just that and nothing more.
So, maybe you would have been better to voice your not liking the image in general and leave it at that, if you know what I mean.

Halifax Chronicle Herald retracts refugee story after public outcry
Published Monday, Apr. 11, 2016 9:56PM EDT
Last updated Tuesday, Apr. 12, 2016 2:17PM EDTThe Halifax Chronicle Herald story, which alleged numerous acts of playground abuse at Chebucto Heights Elementary School - including an incident in which one “refugee boy” choked a girl in Grade 3 with a chain while yelling “Muslims rule the world,” and another in which “refugee students” threatened others on the soccer field - was published online late Friday and in the paper’s Saturday edition. It suggested school administrators had responded weakly to the alleged abuse.
After criticism on social media, editors removed some details from the online story, including the religious reference and the mention of the chain, and softened the original headline, prompting some critics to complain the paper was bowing to “political correctness.” But on Monday the entire article was removed from the site and replaced with a lengthy editor’s note, which also ran in the paper, saying the piece had “needed more work.” […]
“Our story was incomplete and insufficiently corroborated, given the serious nature of the allegations.”
It added: “Reaction to the story was all over the map, from thoughtful to downright scary.”
The paper’s publisher, Sarah Dennis, apologized to Elwin LeRoux, the superintendent of the Halifax Regional School Board. […]
The story’s heady cocktail of refugee politics, ineffectual bureaucrats, and whiffs of schoolyard jihad and religious imperialism proved irresistible to websites that traffic in anti-Muslim sentiment - such as those belonging to commentator Ezra Levant, whose upstart Rebel Media outlet has been one of the most persistent critics of the federal government’s Syrian refugee policy, and Pamela Geller, the New York-based activist whose star rose with her successful campaign against the so-called Ground Zero Mosque. […]
In an interview, Mr. LeRoux said school board staff had investigated the allegations and, though they had not conducted an exhaustive review, had so far come up empty-handed. “They reported there was nothing they could connect from an incident that happened at school that was related to what was in the paper,” he said. “They were quite shocked at the details of what was in there. Some of it was quite sensational.” […]
That right there is how ridiculous stories get started—jihadi 3rd graders, srsly? I’m quite sure that it will now be considered 100% true by the bigot brigades.
That is all.

They have in Clinton a superprepared warrior realist. They have in opponent Bernie Sanders a fantasist who’s at passionate war with reality. By choosing Clinton, Empire State Dems would powerfully signal that the party has gotten real about achieving long-sought goals.
Subjected to meaningful scrutiny for the first time, the senator from Vermont proved utterly unprepared for the Oval Office while confirming that the central thrusts of his campaign are politically impossible.
(And the “And trust him” sections were pretty scathing as well.)

This kind of originalist argument isn’t any better when used to support gun control than when used in any other context.

We’re seeing that on full display now in New York, with the Bernie Bros having a collective aneurysm over the idea that they can’t just walk to the polls on the 19th and vote in a political party’s nomination process without being a member of the party. They’re screaming “disenfranchisement” and passing around a petition asking the state government to change the rule to allow an open primary, claiming that there’s millions of New Yorkers who will be unable to vote in the primary if the rule stays.
This is the “revolution” on display, waiting until the day before the test to whine that they haven’t had a chance to study when they had months to do so and decided to spend them goofing off. The Clinton campaign spent months building support in the state and getting people to register for the primary, while the Sanders campaign settled for a warning on their website and expecting their supporters to get a clue.

It’s amazing how much can change in a week, from cheering and backslapping about how Bernie managed to “win” Nevada by exploiting party rules to outrage and anger that the same party’s rules mean they can’t vote in New York’s closed primary.

Paul Manafort — a senior Donald Trump adviser and long-time GOP consultant — appears to be a fan of the Midtown bondage and swinger’s club Decadence.
Manafort was following the swanky spank spot — which bills itself as the city’s “most intimate swing club” — on Twitter.
Menards refuses to build store in Ohio while Obama is president
Menards, the home improvement giant found in violation of federal labor laws two weeks ago, has announced that it’s not building an Ohio store as planned. The reason: President Barack Obama.
“We are a family owned business and with the Obama Administration scaring the dickens out of all family businesses in the U.S.A at present and with no certainty if the next administration will be any better, we have decided not to risk expansion until things are more settled,” Menards spokesperson Jessie O’Mara told the New Philadelphia Times-Reporter in an email.
The Eau Claire-based chain’s owner, John Menard, is intensely anti-union.

I thought I had heard Trump was going to change up. Some of the crap MSNBC is showing tonight seems he is being as big a jerk as ever. Maybe even more so.
He thinks Clinton’s whole life is a lie.
Whole life. That’s a lot.
And then he is also trashing the GOP over how the primaries are run.

That was pretty bad, but I’ll remind everyone that the deregulated train line of “The Fat Controller” (Sir Topham Hat) did far more damage on regular basis than can be collected in this youtube series. The dark underbelly of the Island of Sodor demands a “Frontline”-level expose.

On the kos diary, amidst the bros calling the NYDN a right wing paper (uh huh), basically a troll, and saying that of course they’d endorse Hillary because the Bernie interview was a total setup and he actually did a great job, and Mort Zuckerman is a friend o’Clinton, and nobody gives a damn about endorsements (but stop the presses, Pussy Riot endorsed Bernie and that is yooogge)—there was one comment that just kinda cut through the noise:

Or are they? Given their dad’s history of even fucking over family real hard (see the story about how Trump withdrew promised medical treatment from his nephew’s disabled son), it wouldn’t surprise me if The Donald’s kids (at least, the smart ones that have supported Dems) told him, “Damnit, Dad, I forgot to register to vote in time for the NY primary…sorry!” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, in order to escape his wrath.

Eh, fuck them.
I hate to be cheesy about this, I have been directly involved with politics much longer then them.
When many of these supporters were in Middle School, I was out doing petitions in 2008 to put Liberal Initiatives on the ballot. In 2012, I helped the Obama campaign.
I’m only 25, and I have done more then most of the Bernie supporters have. It is apparently hard for them to realize that, 99% of the time, you have to work from within the system to one regard or another.
.
Good for you. I started advocacy too young to get signatures on registration forms. But I could stuff envelopes with the best. Walk precincts. Did phone trees. Old school grass roots. Long time ago but it was a formative time. I never lost the interest in politics. Stay with it you have an important issue right at home, meaning Islamophobia. Americans ignorance about the ME, and Islam in general.

One of the questions I’ve been mulling over is the Republican Convention itself. In years past the convention has been a big campaign event, with all the speakers giving effusive praise to the nominee. Who is going to speak at the Republican convention? What in the world can they say? This is going to make Clint Eastwood talking to a chair look sane and sensible.
