Is it mean to say it’s a win-win to watch PHL make an ass of themselves AND Brady not win another Super Bowl?

Good morning, Great Super Bowl, but the Philly Fanatics reacted about as I expected, a riot.
I had a relo,there years ago and with apologies to anyone here from Philly. the locals were generally
angry and rude. They hated it if you pushed back. I have a ton of stories.

@ Twitchy
How to celebrate a Super Bowl win in Philly? Why eating horse shit off off the street of course.
“Cheese steak, cheese steak,! We no need no stinkin cheese steak!”
I’m just going to drop this here without comment.

The drop in the market will be proof that Trump will destroy the economy and only cares about the rich.
From downstairs
good afternoon. Next up: State Dept Corruption vis a vis Steele. Here is the article
Dossier author Steele wrote another anti-Trump memo; was fed info by Clinton-connected contact, Obama State Department
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/dossier-author-steele-wrote-another-anti-trump-memo-was-fed-info-by-clinton-connected-contact-obama-state-department/article/2648099
Here is the Grassley memo demanding answers from the FBI. A lot is redacted but scroll down to (U) and you’ll see that apparently Steele received TWO ‘contributions’ from State.

So. Josh Campbell. The former FBI Special Assistant to Comey who wrote a whiney-ass opinion piece about why he’s leaving the FBI. I speculated he’d end up on media somewhere to lay down flanking fire for Comey, et.al.
CNN
An official goodbye party flyer for former assistant to FBI Director James Comey, Josh Campbell, told attendees they could celebrate his new position at CNN, where he would “defend the bureau” on air, FBI veteran Jimmy Gagliano writes in a new op-ed for The Hill.
Gagliano confirmed to The Daily Caller he reviewed a copy of the flyer which told attendees of the party they could “celebrate [Josh’s] new endeavor defending the Bureau as a CNN Law Enforcement Analyst.”
Law Enforcement Analyst – means ‘never a field agent’ I’m guessing.
Tell me again how this is just a few bad apples?

I dunno. Carter Page was an FBI undercover informant in 2013? Sure looks like it.
In March 2016 Carter Page Was an FBI Employee – In October 2016 FBI Told FISA Court He’s a Spy…

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton predicted Monday during a human rights event at Georgetown University that climate change will force women to “bear the brunt of looking for the food, looking for the firewood, looking for the place to migrate to …”
Such migration won’t be led by men, she maintained, but rather by women “when all of the grass is finally gone as the desertification moves south and you have to keep moving your livestock or your crops are no longer growing.”
That’s gotta be some kick-ass Chardonnay

Today on Rush, Nunes said the next phase will be about the State Dept.
You want to look for the names Corey Shearer, his sister Brooke, and his BIL, Strobe Talbot, a name we’ve all heard before. And Sid Blumenthal.
Shearer was investigated for conducting rogue negotiations that caused diplomatic damage in Bosnia

a personal attack on him and Gowdy. He made a great observation that whatever they are accusing you of
they’re doing.
So Laura Ingraham didn’t ask Page about the FBI undercover thing and he didn’t say. And I wish to god she’d shut up and stop interrupting people

@ Chicago Sun Times
The Republican candidate for Congress in the 3rd District is a Nazi! A real Nazi, he has made his bona fides.
The guy ran unopposed in the primary because no Republican can win that disrespect, ergo he is nominated
by default. The totally inept Illinois Republican Party is in high dudgeon. What did they think would happen?
So now they are in WTF, what do we do now mode.
The incumbent Democrat Lipinski is pretty much a cardiac Republican, pro life etc.
Support him and do something useful like replacing our Democrat like Republican Governor Rauner.

Yinz may remember some comments I’ve made over time about the DNC server hack after reading Donna Brazille’s book. To me, it looks like an inside job and Crowdstrike, brought in to investigate/clean-up, looks like part of it – to me.

I’ve known ‘the type’. When I was a kid, there was a neighbor whose cousins were bonafide ‘geni’ (ok, geniususes – lol !!). Dumbest damn kids I ever met ! Of course it was just that they seemed to be lacking common sense, but, to a 10 year old, such distinctions weren’t quite so apparent.
The only TV they could watch was NPR (I forget what it was called then but channel 13 in NYC area) e.g., no ‘Lost In Space’ or ‘The Munsters’ for them.
I still remember running out the front door to meet up with the gang who had already met them and being greeted by an exasperated bud who turned to me and said “I had to tie his sneaker for him – can ya believe it ? He didn’t know how to tie his own sneaker !”
They reminded us of that movie about those freaky little Brit. kids with the weird haircuts who could read your mind etc. We had a lot of fun imagining they were somehow related, their behavior and mannerisms and how they stuck together were very similar. I remember getting a stern talking to before they arrived: “BEHAVE, they are ‘very sensitive, special kids, you hear ?’, we were to keep this in mind when interacting with them.
I also remember being very glad I wasn’t born a ‘genius’.

This is about an Army Team of 12 who were the first Americans on the ground in Afghanistan after 9/11.
their job was to embed with a Northern Alliance wall and to coordinate air strikes against the Taliban and
Al Queda. The kicker is that they had to go on horse back, and some had never sat a horse before.
Great story but the movie was mediocre, they could have done a better job,But it is definitely worth a look when

Remember when Hillary went to Russia and gave Lavrov the button she said read ‘reset’ and he said it meant ‘overcharge’ and she emitted that hideous laugh?
Does anyone recall seeing the actual thing she gave him with the Russian word on it?
Read this:
————
An FBI informant connected to the Uranium One controversy told three congressional committees in written testimony that Moscow routed millions of dollars to America with the expectation it would be used to benefit Bill Clinton’s charitable efforts while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton quarterbacked a “reset” in US-Russian relations.
[]
Campbell said Russian nuclear officials “told me at various times that they expected APCO to apply a portion of the $3 million annual lobbying fee it was receiving from the Russians to provide in-kind support for the Clinton’s Global Initiative,” he added in the testimony.
“The contract called for four payments of $750,000 over twelve months. APCO was expected to give assistance free of charge to the Clinton Global Initiative as part of their effort to create a favorable environment to ensure the Obama administration made affirmative decisions on everything from Uranium One to the U.S.-Russia Civilian Nuclear Cooperation agreement. “

Out of a single class of 72 (yup I said 72 !) we had the smartest, second smartest, fifth smartest and eight smartest in a State of 5 1/2 million, with the top 12 in the class in the top 100 in State.
I usually bobbed about at 28th in class although I did crack 15th when everyone else was slacking off in a mid term test and when I worked my cajoles off !

Still First in State did blow off 3 fingers and filled #2’s back with glass shards when they failed to read label of the jar of black powder they assumed was Manganese Dioxide when it was in fact Carbon. These two Geniuses also were using a heavy walled gad jar as a way to mix the Potassium Chlorate with what they assumed was Manganese Dioxide.
The friction of these solids rubbing against the glass was enough to detonate the whole sheBANG.
Brilliant but silly.

@ doriangrey:
6 months a semester and finish as many classes as you can in that time frame.
i’m at wgu, capella and a few others work the same way. this is the start of breaking the back of ‘big edu’…thankfully. if not, i wouldnt bother with my alma mater charging me 58k for an rn-msn program when i can get it done for 18k or less…and i dont have to drive 45 minutes and fight for parking two nights a week either.
boss and her bosses said straight to me that they dont care where the masters is from, as long as it is accredited.

@ Aussie Infidel:
You don’t have to tell me about that one, did the same myself – ended my career as a ‘concert pianist’ as a matter of fact (a little joke my doctor from Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital made ‘Coulda been better / coulda been worse kind of thing)).
Fortunately for me and the rest of the household, I wasn’t messin’ with my
‘secret additive’ (a ntim ony s ulfat e) that particular day ! Think my scrambling of those 2 words will keep us off a gubermint ‘watch’ list ?
Hey, I was just a kid, a very, very long time ago when thoughts of overflowing the boys room toilet could keep a boy fascinated for days !
Oh, and they did manage to re attach my fingers, only a little tendon/nerve damage and some severe burns. Some kids weren’t so lucky. What they used to sell and deliver to a kids front door back in the early 60s would ASTOUND you ! “Are you 18 ?”. “Yes”. Ok, here ya go. We’ve thrown in a 100′ of red underwater fuse for ya son – don’t forget to tell all your friends”. Right there in the back of ‘Popular Science magazine. You just needed a friend who had both parents working so we could intercept the UPS deliveries 🙂
