I swear, every James Woods post I’ve ever read is the text equivalent of watching a seasoned philosopher very carefully, and methodically shit their pants.

So clever my first suspicion was that the source had been photoshopped.

There are certainly problems with the state of journalism, but anyone who tries to "view the news as a person" will be as woefully uninformed as those who try to "run government like a business."

I enjoyed living in Florida, and I'm moving back, but I can confirm that they are both visually,and societaly, North America's dong.

So you're saying my father was wrong; crying will solve something?

His appeal is the same appeal that takes each of us in at some point; he offers easy answers to complicated problems. It's tempting to believe that only the profoundly stupid will fall for this, but when a problem is outside your knowledge or experience and someone confidently announces they have a solution its pretty easy to let yourself stop thinking any further.

Also, there are a ton of racists and xenophobes out there who already believe they have the easy answers and like the confirmation of having them parroted back at them.

Remember kids, according to an FAA review of accidents, no type of water ditching has lower than an eighty percent survivability rating. So putting it in the drink is always an option.

Election results always seem to mean exactly what the person writing about them has been telling everyone for years. Funny that.

Several of the trade groups that sued New York "vociferously lobbied the FCC to classify broadband Internet as a Title I service in order to prevent the FCC from having the authority to regulate them," today's 2nd Circuit ruling said. "At that time, Supreme Court precedent was already clear that when a federal agency lacks the power to regulate, it also lacks the power to preempt. The Plaintiffs now ask us to save them from the foreseeable legal consequences of their own strategic decisions. We cannot."

This has to be one of the better, legal “go fuck yourselves” I’ve ever seen.

Isn’t this just the story of the allied powers in World War Two repackaged into science fiction? The members were:

The British who were sort of friends with the Americans but regarded them as less civilized and less experienced in running a nation.

The French who literally fought the Hundred Years’ War against the English.

The Soviets who didn’t like any of those people and proceeded to argue with all of them thereafter.

The Americans who had existed for a little over a century, invented the nuke after winning a fight with a World power in an ascendant phase, and decided it was on them to guarantee World peace.

I think you’ve got the wrong type of Goths for that last one.

So the company selling bogus aircraft parts is called AOG (Aircraft on Ground)?
