David Soares is the Albany County (NYS) DA. Hardcore Prog/Dem. Why did he convene a GJ, and seek an indictment? No idea. Politics is getting weird all over.
I see Hillary was not talking about Bill when she mentioned her experience in dealing with men going off the reservation. She was talking about Rudi Giuliani and Lazio.
And she misspoke when we thought we heard her say she wants to close down Coal Miners and Coal Companies and then laughed about it. She instead was 100% in the Coal Miners corner, fighting for them.
Its amazing the stuff I learn I was mistaken about yesterday. Wonder what I'll learn tomorrow that I think is true today that just ain't so.
My 18-year-old granddaughter likes Bernie and absolutely loathes Hillary. And her friends do as well. If it's Hillary, she'll likely vote third party or write in Bernie.
I'm sure Hillary is a lock with the over-55, educated, white female demographic.
narciso, that is a funny thing. The faculty is making the legislature mad by doing this -- which will lead to all sorts of things they don't like. Hell, they may have to teach a full course load to get paid if they aren't careful! (That is among the things the board of regents successfully pushed back on).
The Free Shite faculty squeals as OPM famine leaves very little after state pensions and Medicaid are paid ... instead of them. Let's see the faculty call for removing 70% of UWisc 'administrators' and use the savings for IN CLASS purposes. When they propose that, I might begin to take them seriously. I love Wisc.
Speaking of 'the future' can't tellyou how many people in NY over the years told me 'Shelly will never be nailed... he's too smart for that' Shelly was piggier than he was smart. And shelly is very smart.
I recall last year Volkswagen getting in trouble for lying about their vehicles gas mileage specs and pollution controls. Then I see that it happened to some Japanese Car company. I imagine it has happened to others.
It makes sense to me that these companies wind up lying about their specs, because the Government keeps mandating that they have to achieve these unrealistic specs in order to be able to be sold in the US. Since the mandated specs are probably unrealistic, just like Solar and Wind generation power, it seems to me the car companies have to lie about their numbers.
So 2 questions:
1) Would Volkswagen or the Japanese Car company be having to pay these huge penalties if the Government hadn't mandated these impossible to achieve specs in the first place?
2) How come the Solar and Wind Industry is never penalized for never achieving their specs?
Fox is paying the price for turning 3/4 of its evenings into Forrest Trump infomercials
John's Creek Bill,
I'd like to see the numbers for FOX Business versus FOX regular News. A lot of it may have to do with the "Trump Infomercial" bit but there is plenty of anti-Trump sentiment there also. I think a great amount of it has to do with Megan Kelly getting too big for her britches, and I wonder in retrospect if we can tag this precipitous decline in viewers to the night of the 1st FOX Debate when she came out of the box with a very unflattering performance, and Brett and whoever else was there didn't help much either.
Lyle - we will see how those numbers hold up after the 24-7 saturation of Forrest's greatest hits as well as the constant the drumbeat for him to release his tax returns.
I know, JCB. Polls at this juncture are mostly meaningless and I agree that the coming onslaught will be merciless. I rather think that the Trump campaign probably expects it as well. I expect all the calls for him releasing his tax returns will be met with calls to have CGI release their's. Gonna be one UGLY race.
Sadly, JiB, there no prohibition on silly people owning really fine exotic automobiles.
In the Atlanta dealership, there's a glass-top coffee table with a 180° V-12 base courtesy of a Testarossa owner who didn't know that you had to check the oil. True story.
I don't think Fox is losing viewers because they push one guy or another. I think they lost it when it became obvious that they were WILLING to push one over the others, and in so doing revealed the scam whether it was first for Jeb then Rubio, etc etc. Around the same time, trusted guys like Brit Hume showed that they too are, in their hearts, just part of the GOPe.
We had all "accepted the Juans and the Sheps because we saw they had to look "fair and balanced", but I sure no longer give a damn what they say about anything anymore.
They are now just one wing of the Uniparty so Femall.
