Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Or intelligent robot dogs with lasers in their nose.
Those exist, but the CIA decided they were too dangerous for the average person, and has kept their existence hidden.
It's possible this decision was influenced by the strong pro-cat faction of the CIA....
(I can't spell today -- I spelled "nominee" about 4 different ways before I got the correct one. Variations included "moninee," niminee," and "nominnr." My fingers are not communicating with my brain.)

Clinton wouldn't be the first Supreme Court Justice appointed directly from the Senate. Hugo Black comes to mind, though I'd agree it hasn't been done lately.
While there's an appeal to an Obama-Clinton ticket, and certainly precedent (Reagan-Bush), I don't see her accepting VP if she weren't sure she could use it as a springboard to the White House. And in eight years, she'll be pretty close to the age McCain is now.
What that's line? "The future is not what it used to be."
Futurism has betrayed us, failed to deliver on its promises and has been always been about society, progress and culture. All of those seem aligned against the individual. Steampunk in its current incarnation has a strong DIY element, with it celebrating the act of individual creation rather than the relentless progress of society. So what the act of individual creation re-uses otherwise outmoded tech, it is still about how the individual can achieve/make something, as compared to the individual controlled and buffeted by the larger forces in futurism...
I think that is how the argument is going, at least...

Or sharks with frickin' lasers attached to their heads.
Am I the only one who went to a "ma nah ma nah" place?
Not anymore.
Am I the only one who went to a "ma nah ma nah" place?
Nope! I've been humming "do-doo-do-do-do" to myself since Tep posted.
To make up for futurism's disappointments, at least we have this video of a car being catapulted by a trebuchet....
eta: But no explosion at the end. Those Russians just don't think big enough....
Ah, pastism.
From the Washington, DC craigslist: Free Hillary Clinton Campaign Material (16th and Penn)
Bumper stickers, yard sign, pins, mugs, folders, letterhead and a large banner. Won't be needing them.
That's hilarious. Although not quite right -- are we supposed to think that W prefers Clinton over Obama?
