It's okay. He's good, but the format is essentially Maher redux. I deeply miss the Stewart/Colbert hour.

Anyone catch Larry Wilmore's bit on this? He had already predicted Frau Gretchen would be fired from Fox after her coming out for an assault weapons ban.

Well he obviously didn't hire her for her brains. I always figured she got the job because the moderately hot blonde they had on there before just didn't get angry enough. Gotta produce that psychotic outrage everytime a business says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas!

According to papers obtained by PEOPLE, Carlson is alleging that her former employer "Ailes has unlawfully retaliated against Carlson and sabotaged her career because she refused sexual advances and complained about severe and pervasive sexual harassment." Carlson, now 50, claims the biggest former of Ailes' retaliation was her firing from Fox News on June 23, nine months after he allegedly "ostracizing, marginalizing and shunning" the Real Story anchor before suggesting she engage in a sexual relationship with him. Also under fire in Carlson's filing is former Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy, whom Carlson claims "regularly treat[ed] her in a sexist and condescending way" when they worked together and "engaged in a pattern and practice of severe and pervasive sexual harassment" that was tantamount to treating her as "a blond female prop." https://news.google.com/news/ampviewer?caurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.people.com%2Fpeople%2Farticle%2Famp%2F0%2C%2C21016869%2C00.html#pt0-155151 This is kind of like the Iran Iraq war - hoping for maximum destruction on both sides but I don't care much who wins.

Do tell....

I think all the criticism you've directed at Musk has some validity, but the same rants could have been made about Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. MS was lucky enough to become IBM's choice for OS, and the much hyped Windows 95 essentially just put it on par with the Mac interface. People obsess over Apple products, but has the iPhone ever been unquestionably superior to other smartphones? The iPad promulgated the tablet's popularity, but I remember Larry Ellison talking about dummy terminals with all one's information stored on a server in the internet more than a decade before. Maybe Musk is more marketer than engineer, but he does seem to be a primary catalyst for technological innovation at a societal level, in perhaps the same way that JFK's goal of a man on the moon, while obviously not providing any technical advances in itself, spurred on a massive technological revolution.

Cats are evil evil evil....

Eventually Siberia will get fed up with us sending them our rapists and murderers, and some presumably good people, and build a wall to keep our politicians out.

I don't think former East Bloc countries like Latvia or the Czech republic will ever want out. The older generation that led the Brexit vote is strongly pro-European and membership was the fulfillment of their dreams after decades of Soviet subjugation. If Greece wants out, German bankers may be horrified, but German taxpayers will be dancing in the ratskellars at the prospect of no longer having to support their lazy southern neighbors.

Will the Brits transport more monkeys to Gibraltar to reinforce their claim? That this vote would go through makes me nervous about the possibility of a Drumpf victory in November. Voters ignored economic realities overshadowed by hyper-nativism and Islamophobia. The default setting on the people factory must be stuck on Suck again.

Saudi Prince Bandar was speaking with George W Bush one day, and mentioned howuch his son loves Star Trek. "There's just one thing he doesn't understand...why are there never any Arabs on the show?" GWB smiled. "That's because it takes place in the future."

I would vote for him.

We're converting electricity to genetic energy? Sounds like something Mary Shelley might have proposed....

Maybe you should ask Utnapishtim for advice.

After reading this thread, I test drove a Chevy Volt this weekend. Nice ride. I've been wanting to put off buying a new car for another 3 years or so, but I don't want to miss out on the 7500 tax credit. There was still a 2015 model the salesman offered me 25% off, but I'm not sure how much I would miss the extra range of the 2016/7 models. Like SHF, there's a charging outlet in the parking lot where I work, so I might only have to plug in on weekends. Hmmmmmmm. Some of you remind me of the CEO of SAP back in the 90s, who was convinced the internet was just an American fad....

There was an Israeli startup that was built around the battery swap at the station idea. Not sure of all the ins and outs, but it eventually ran out of funds.

Anyone here watched the Star Trek Continues series? Is it any good?

If they were gonna blow big money, it ought to have been for OL to keep Eli upright.

Way to go Haslam. Thanks for surpassing Snyder as the NFL's dumbest owner. Most obvious bad 1st round waste of a pick since Teblows.

Geez, killed a koala. That sucks.

http://mashable.com/2016/03/08/tiger-loose-highway-qatar/#HoRcRe_Graq5 Loose tiger causes traffic nightmare on Qatar highway A loose tiger cub gave commuting motorists quite the scare on the Doha Expressway in Qatar on Tuesday as the frightened and confused cat wandered through traffic. Video and photos of the tiger were shared on Twitter, which even resurrected an old Twitter account, @DohaTiger.

As if the last Indiana Jones movie wasn't putrid enough.

Benicio Del Toro will be great. Loved Traffic and Sicario.

According to Urban Dictionary, vejazzling means sprucing up a woman's...you know. So to make a girl's ___ look bedazzling. (Don't they all look that way?)
