Back when it was new the conventional wisdom was the the Web was going to eliminate ignorance by making the totality of human knowledge available to everyone with the click of a mouse.

So much for good intentions - instead it has succeeded in linking up the most ignorant segment of society and empowering them to think they have valid opinions because there are so many people out there as ignorant and stupid as them.
And then there is you.

Just one more step on the path begun when they legitimized the Tea Party loonies.

They really need to change their name to The Official Monster Raving Loonie party.

I'm sure Lord Such would give them his blessing if he trademarked the name.

He's been dead for over 20 years.

Mitch gets his revenge.

McConnell pulls rival Rick Scott off powerful Commerce Committee​


Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) has pulled Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who tried to oust him as the Senate’s top Republican in a bruising leadership race, off the powerful Commerce Committee.

McConnell also removed Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), who supported Scott’s bid to replace McConnell as leader, from the Commerce panel, which has broad jurisdiction over a swath of federal agencies.

The GOP leader insisted last year that he didn’t take the attempt to end his leadership reign personally, but the latest move sends a clear message to conservatives that challenging McConnell’s leadership carries a cost.

“McConnell got to pick. He kicked me off, he kicked Lee off,” Scott confirmed in an interview.

Pretty sure we have at least one poster who accepted the loan(s) and didn't pay it back.
More my business I accepted a PPL that kept 5 people employed and, because we had all the paperwork for all the paychecks, the Feds forgave it.

Socialism in action, in defense of my personally capitalized business.

Like it was supposed to work. And did. But then, I do support the whole concept of socializing collective risk.
