Umpty ump years ago at the foot of San Fran Bay I built custom joinery for a 65' Monstermaran so big it had two stories in the main hull and three staterooms in each sponson. One of the three partners made his money importing certain herbs from a little bit south of the Southwest. Drove his herbs back home in a high mileage Datsun pickup truck with a camper top. Came home one night dog tired after a long drive, parked in front of his house, & while he was unloading big trash bags of the stuff, the phone rang, so he ducked inside to answer it. So tired that when the phone call was over he went to bed. Left the camper open and two three trash bags of herbs still in the street. Middle of the night a car apparently came round the corner and ran over his bags. His house was last thing on my way to the boat shed. Dawn's early light, when I came by, there was herbage strewn literally all across the street and down the way, & his truck camper wide open, even his driver side door hanging open. We all tumbled out with push brooms & shovels. His vixen daughter fumed for a week. "Dad, this is NOT COOL! NOT COOL!"
Of course, nobody pretended back then that a ton and a half of bud was worth a millions "street value". That curious phrase "street value" is always preceded by some preposterous number that would make Gurkha proud.“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)

It's a good thing for them we are all easily distracted by the Trump'ed up NFL crisis.
I think the media folks really just want to be good teachers to us. But this Sudanese immigrant mass shooter story isn't useful for one of their teachable moments. They got nothin' to work with here. Class dismissed.

I watch and read a lot of news sources.
TV, Internet and Radio.
I refuse to watch cnn or msnbc.
(I was in shock when reported elsewhere that cnn broke the story about manafort. That itself was a news story. http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/18/politics/paul-manafort-government-wiretapped-fisa-russians/index.html)
There are many ways to hide "truth" and both of these networks are laboring under the very bad assumption they know what is good for us, they know whats best and what is right unlike the deplorable and undereducated mainstream Americans like the rest of us.
Not only do they not report the real news stories, they report and exaggerate and twist any story that can be made harmful to the sitting president.
A bunch of rich, pampered 1%ers and elitists taking away one of the last and dwindling sources of escapism TV.
Between espn and some players there is now no reason for me to even care about football, and I don't tune in. I loved football, and the rivalry between friends and family was real. I have been to some awesome gatherings built around "the games". Not anymore.
Go on talk shows, hell they are rich and could get their own shows.
But they could not leave the games alone.
Can't wait for the Olympics.2 -

Those with highest psychopath scores were among the greatest fans of Blackstreet hit No Diggity, with Eminem’s Lose Yourself also rated highly

I think the NFL protest is a more important story. I just wish we could talk about it in healthy ways. We don't.
Re: mass shootings and the news. I don't think this has anything to do with not fitting a narrative. The simple fact is THIS YEAR, we've averaged 1.23 mass shootings per day in the USA. How many of the 333 mass shootings in 2017 have you heard about? Mass shootings are old news, instantly, unless there's some larger human interest to the story or they rise to a certain level of carnage. The number of injured in this case is high for a mass shooting, but the single death is low. The week before had a mass shooting with the same number injured but none killed in Chikasa, OK. The day before that, one in Columbia, SC. 9/10 had one with 9 dead in Plano, TX. Have any of them made the news, conservative or liberal?
Oh, and sure the shooter in Antioch was an immigrant, but he was also a Christian and former attender of that particular congregation. Methinks motive has nothing to do with immigration status, here.
Go Colts! (I've never watched the anthem for a game I didn't attend in person, anyway.)Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.1 -

You get no argument from me about florida. But in this case I was referring to Calijlmarta said:Usaf06 said:It will be 85 here Christmas Day. California is such a fûcked up state.

Was he kneeling in reverence or prayer or as he protesting something.
If he was protesting, than I would agree with you.

Ok, here are your cigars, you have your cutter and lighter?
Uh huh.
Ok, I will be back in 4 hours. No fighting, follow the rules and I know some of the other men's wive's may have given them more money, so don't be jealous.
If your good, I'll buy you something special afterwards.
Here is you allowance, make it last the 4 hours.

This is the immigrant wife of a xenophobic white supremacist reading Doctor Seuss books to hospitalized children. She liked I like green eggs and ham so much she gave a dozen Seuss books to one elementary school in each state.
This is Liz Phipps Soeiro, the school librarian who rejected Melania's gift of Doctor Seuss books because Doctor Seuss is racist. No, really. She does not like I like green eggs and ham. Used to. Not since she found out the immigrant wife of a xenophobic white supremacist does.
... and here is Michelle reading Doctor Seuss to schoolchildren:
I guess she liked I like green eggs and ham too. Now the furor is:
Did Obama promote racist stereotypes?
This is what we worry about today.
Savanarola would be proud.
