First the batteries, now “potentially faulty parts” in the tail section of those Boeing 737s.
Two different airplanes, the batteries are in the brand new 787. The 737 has been out for decades and has had rear stabilizer problems before if that’s the one I am thinking of.

How do any of them sleep at night, I wonder.
Nice cushy piles of money. Funny how conscience appears inversely proportional to wealth.

JohnJ commented on the blog post Novartis Ruling In India Could Spark Larger Movement Against Patent Trolling
About a year ago MIT announced it had figured out how to cure AIDS. They just sped up the mutation until the virus burned itself out (mutation is why AIDS is so hard to treat/cure). It takes about a year for the virus to burn itself out. They had something like 95% rate in animals.
They admitted that can’t get the human studies financed (extremely expensive); the drug companies would actually lower their profits since they would no longer be selling someone expensive drugs for 20 years. I haven’t heard a word about it since.

JohnJ commented on the blog post Walmart Reports Losses From Bribery Probe
I live a few miles from what was the busiest Wallywart in the world. You are 100% on that one. The place was dirty, the shelves were barely stocked, what was on the shelves was beaten up so badly it looked like it was intentional.
There is nothing new there at all, they are selling the exact same models for 5 years.
I never thought Walmart could actually get worse…wrong again!

JohnJ commented on the blog post Chris Christie Calls Black Man “Boy” During Argument At Town Hall
Agreed. I would have to give him a pass on that one, just because you really can’t tell. I would like to hear whether he uses “boy” as an exclamation at other times. It may just be an unfortunate group of phrases.
The edited repeats don’t help.
He’s still asshole.

Wow DSW, you sure stirred it!
Two year gap in comments, false claims of expertise, same put-downs of the site….

You are born with your race, you eat your way into the great physical shape of that bigot.
If I say “boy, I feel bad today”,
as compared to “Yeah I hear ya boy,”
Did you flunk high school English, or are you just playing stupid?

I hope this is a trend overall.
That the Repugs received less votes than Dems in the last House elections hopefully is a harbinger of things to come. Unfortunately, since the 2000 and 2004 U.S. coup de tau, the people need a super majority just to seat anyone but a Repug.

Is he legal since he swore on an un-ratified piece of paper?

JohnJ commented on the blog post Former DEA Directors Want Obama to Ignore the Will of the Electorate on Pot Legalization
My suggestion: Get this party started. Get the growers working, set up the distribution network, and get the tax stream flowing! Once that kicks in, the state officials will never allow it to go back. From there, cut the feds their share and the war is over.

With pot it is I think impossible to determine if someone is stoned except in the extreme
If this twisted logic doesn’t leap out to you, it would be ridiculous to even try explaining it to you.
Think about this: why does it matter if you can’t tell? Is there some magic evil radiation that someone stoned may subject an unsuspecting innocent to, causing permanent brain damage? (Did you hear about that teenager hopped up on reefer that killed his parents with an ax?)

JohnJ commented on the diary post A Brit’s perspective on mass shootings, Part 1 by Bat Country Word.
Everyone gives the mayor or whomever credit for the drop in violence. I think it was here that I read that the drop in violence in NYC was exactly timed out when lead was eliminated there, something like 20 years.

JohnJ commented on the diary post A Brit’s perspective on mass shootings, Part 1 by Bat Country Word.
First hand experience. The weird and suicidal thoughts are only transitory. They show up as the drug starts to work, then completely disappear. They problem is many fold; It takes months for these drugs to start to work, for me the dangerous time was a month or so into the drug therapy. There is no [...]

JohnJ commented on the diary post A Brit’s perspective on mass shootings, Part 1 by Bat Country Word.
Thanks, good starting points. Some of the comments so far point that this is an almost unwinnable argument, as what to some of us are obvious points, seem to irritate others with “simple” solutions. I submit that those “simpler” explanations and solutions are more like the thinking presented in those video games than those of [...]

have the right to investigate American citizens if one of three ridiculously broad criteria are met:
* Significant economic or community impact
* Participation of organized criminal groups involving multiple districts or transnational organizations
* Use of schemes involving new technologySilly SS; that’s the criteria for that other super secret agency: S.H.I.E.L.D, and The Avengers

JohnJ commented on the diary post Republican Governors and the Medicaid Expansion: Capitulation or Manipulation? by E. F. Beall.
Ol’ pRick should be long gone by the time 3 years runs out. He isn’t fooling anyone with his latest attempts to do the “right thing”. The first thing pRick did when he took over was to refuse a 100% fed paid for light rail project claiming there must be hidden costs. That was the [...]

pRick Scott is the de facto expert on stealing Medicaid/Medicare money. He holds the record for the largest fine in history for doing it, and possibly the most use of the 5th amendment in a single hearing (75 times) on that theft.
