If ya wanna build something big in California and don’t pass a special law exempting it from environmental lawsuits, it ain’t gonna get built.
I actually liked the high-speed rail idea, despite the ridiculous cost, just because I’m a nut for anything TRAINS!!! Oh well.
C’mon folks, only two weekends left.
It looks like we can now finally drop the facade that The Democratic Party cares about cops.
Every time we hear from the President as of late, he keeps repeating that those mean old Republicans are stopping him from handing out money for, and I quote, “Cops, firefighters and teachers”.
Well, the policy that the contemptuous AG Holder and he agreed to use has killed at least one, and very likely two, law enforcement officers, as well as hundreds of Mexicans.
But now he refuses to hand over any further documents in the investigation of their deaths. I don’t know why we need those documents to prove he knew about it, we’ve got the original press conference on video.
Or, we DID have it on video until hyper-partisan Google/YouTube decided to take it down. Follow that link and try to play the first video.
So now, all of the evidence is pointing to the leader of the Democratic Party no longer caring about cops. At least not unless their unions are endorsing him. Will firefighters and teachers be next?
Ben Sage has been kicking my ass as of late.
For the uninitiated, DnB often has long intros. The bass line kicks in at around the 01:27 mark in the above track.
The monster is unleashed around the 2:06 mark for this next one.
Turn up the subs and enjoy!
It starts June 15 with “I can buy my power at Best Buy big-box stores, like any other retail commodity! I’m living in the future! Yay!”
…and ends three days later with “Best Buy stores are doing so bad the founder’s quitting a year early! This future’s dystopian, damn it!”
Clicky to embiggen.
The Biden remark (@ 31 seconds) actually made me laugh out loud!

Note the chart from yesterday.
Also, since I’m making Sherlock Holmes references, I’ll warn you: we made the mistake of watching Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows this weekend. Complete dreck, utterly awful. Made the same mistake with Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Just as bad.
When exactly did Hollywood decide every movie had to be a Lethal Weapon 3-style action-dramedy? That is, equal parts special effects, scene-chewing, and slapstick. And all awful.
I think it’s shit-eating-grin cool that despite all my years of (admittedly, sporadic) fascination with the solar system, the matter-of-fact way the solar system is depicted here traveling through space, generating a bow wave dropped my jaw to the floor.
How great is that! And how intuitively correct, as well! I’d just never thought of it that way, but of course it all makes sense.
Here’s are three photographic examples of interstellar bow wave:
Zeta Ophiuchi, Runaway Star.
Neutron Star Shockwave.
LL Orionis — actually looks like a bow!
