Cujo359 commented on the diary post James Rosen, irresponsible journalism and untrustworthy governance by danps.
When the accident report was finally declassified in 2004, it contained no details whatsoever about secret equipment. The government’s true motivation in asserting the state secrets privilege was to cover up its own negligence.
In other words, it was classified illegally by the government. Those responsible for that decision should have been prosecuted. How many such [...]

Cujo359 commented on the blog post And I bet he wants his income taxes cut too
Richard J. Danzig, a prominent lawyer, presidential advisor and biowarfare consultant to the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security,
Why is it that I keep reading that phrase whenever we are discussing a high-level government “expert” on this, that, or the other thing? Why aren’t business people high-level experts on business, or biologists or bioengineers prominent consultants on biowarfare?
People who work in a field should be the experts, not people who can learn enough to chat about them coherently.

Cujo359 commented on the diary post Washington press corps catches up to 2002, discovers surveillance state by danps.
The rule of thumb is: don’t make waves. You’ll have a good gig as long as you don’t rock the boat. But that is exactly what the phone record seizure does. It’s a rude awakening for any reporters who thought they were on the same team as the officials they cover.
That light finally turned [...]

3. If you want to know how someone like Rand Paul manages to get traction on the left with a stunt like his filibuster, it’s at least partly because liberals have waited for over a decade for Democrats to make a big deal – at the relevant moment – on the issue.
That’s at least [...]

Nothing seems to upset TBogg more than the thought that there are people trying to make the world better in ways that TBogg wouldn’t try.

Cujo359 commented on the blog post Once Again Harry Reid Is Vaguely Threatening to Fix the Senate
Given Reid’s history though, at this point it is best to remain highly skeptical.
When leading understatements of the 113th Congress are recounted, this should be prominent among them.

Late again. Congrats FDL on finally getting yourselves back on the Internet. It sounds like you got some really lousy support from your online provider.

Cujo359 commented on the blog post San Francisco Pride Won’t Reschedule Meeting, Board’s Decision on Bradley Manning is ‘Firm’
Was Teddy Partridge’s comment at that Facebook link? If it was, it’s gone now. It appears that the only comments left are by some supporter of Pride’s.
Removing critical comments like those tells me that those folks at Pride don’t have the character to be leaders.

Cujo359 commented on the blog post So how’d that thing go last night?
From the first link:
With 71 percent of precincts reporting, Sanford has 54 percent of the vote.
Remember all those e-mails from the DCCC about how this election was too close to call? I think I could have called it.
You can number this among the many reasons I don’t trust the congressional Democrats.

Cujo359 commented on the blog post Larry Summers’ Shocking Ignorance About Health Care Economics
I could be wrong on this, but to me the use of “salary” is what points to a non-wage level worker. Anyone else have the exact context?
No, but it’s a convention of language that has existed for a long time.

Cujo359 commented on the blog post Larry Summers’ Shocking Ignorance About Health Care Economics
Summers was Obama’s top economic adviser during the health care fight and he apparently doesn’t know the most basic facts about the issues.
Yes, but he knows the one thing that matters in the Obama Administration when it comes to economics – where his bread is buttered.

RFC beneficiary families
What’s “RFC” in this context? Anyway, it’s hard to believe that the BOP didn’t remember the second time that it wasn’t supposed to send this guy to the CMU for publishing under a byline. The person responsible should be facing disciplinary hearings for wasting the state’s time and money, but if he isn’t, [...]

Recommended. Love the video, particularly in light of discussions we always seem to have about how if assault weapons are banned, people will conduct mass murders with bows and arrows or sushi knives, or some such.

Creates a lot of gas, that’s for sure. From what that page said it’s not recommended, and it wouldn’t surprise my if a volunteer FD made such a mistake, even in their own town.

Sometimes you just don’t know how bad something like that is going to be until it happens.
Reading the Wikipedia page on ammonia now, and it looks like modern chem factories sometime use hydrogen to make the fertilizer. I can’t find any info on West’s process, though. However, I did see that we can buy their products up here in the Pacific NW. ;)

Somewhat convenient, given the circumstances, but it’s still scary. Looks like the only safe place within the city limits is the Czech Hotel.

Might be possible. Above 270 deg. F NH3 stays a gas, no matter what the pressure. Pressure rises directly with temperature. You wouldn’t need gaseous hydrogen for the thing to burst catastrophically. I’d think you’d need some sort of explosive to get an explosion of the sort I read about in West. Still, I have absolutely no experience in this realm, so just about anyone’s guess is better than mine.

Yes, reports said there was fire there before the explosion. Might be the explanation.
