    I ran in a cross-country meeting against a school that one of the one of the first astronauts to orbit the moon graduated from.

    That knowledge and four Australian dollars will get you a darn fine cup of coffee in Melbourne.

    Rod Class hasn’t as yet announced to the world that his suit in the NC Industrial Commission has been tossed with prejudice. For those interested here is the order: http://www.ic.nc.gov/livelink/livelink.exe?func=ll&objaction=overview&objid=240845 . You may need to use public/public as UN/PW to access it. Interestingly, the order was signed on 8/22, Rod had an AIB Radio show on 8/23, and he should have received notice of the order no later than 8/24. He has been very quiet of late. One of these days someone will explain to him that his PAG and bounty hunter fantasies are just that.

    Today at work, I found out one of the guys who works around me is a Trump supporter. I was trying to do some work and he was engaging another guy in some discussion about politics. One of the most memorable things he said was something like “Trump’s got the vote, but Clinton is gonna win, because the system is rigged”.

    There was a lot of other standard pro-Trump babble that I won’t repeat here because you’ve all heard it before. At least this Trump supporter isn’t a complete jerk like the last Trump supporter I worked with.

    I have noticed that many of the people that I work with just assume everyone is a Republican. I was driving back from lunch today with a couple of other engineers and the conversation somehow got politics. One of the guys said “well even the Democrats know that Hillary is as guilty as sin on the emails”. I said “well I don;t know that and I think the email scandal is total bullshit. Nothing classified was compromised or leaked.”. There was a long silence. He then changed the subject to the budget to the high debt Obama has run up. I told him that no one cared about the debt when Bush was in office.

All those attempts were related to the Republicans wanting Ahhnold to be able to run, Yes, that’s right, there was a time they LOVED him. Then he had the unmitigated gall to say that climate change is real. They dumped him after that.

    Mad Orly has widened her definition of “statistical tie” to mean that Clinton leads Trump by 4 points or less (previously the threshold was Clinton leading by 1 point). Her reasoning is that, since most polls have a margin of error of 4 points, a Clinton +4 result is actually a Clinton +0 result. Kinda forgetting, I guess, that those margins swing both ways, and that it could actually be a Clinton +8 result. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the margin of error vary from poll to poll?

    As always, Trump being ahead by any amount, even as little as 1 point, counts as “Trump leading”.

    Statistically speaking, if you average 10 polls, each with an MOE of +/- 4 points, the combined sample size will be very large and the MOE will be much lower, possibly as little as +/- 1 point.

    I stumbled across this YouTube video of Barack Obama in 1995 talking about his book, “Dreams from My Father.” Besides showing that Obama can speak effectively without a teleprompter, I found it interesting that he identified “Frank” in the book as the poet Frank Marshall Davis. So that tidbit was never a secret.

    Trump surrogate: Black voters think there are ‘legitimate questions about the birth certificate’

    A day after Trump visited a black church in Detroit, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Sunday had insisted to CNN that no apology was necessary for falsely suggesting that Obama was not an U.S. citizen.

    Appearing later on MSNBC, (Paris) Dennard agreed with Giuliani.

    [……]

    “I believe that if truth be told, it was Hillary Clinton and the Clinton campaign in ’08 who started this whisper campaign about President Obama,” Dennard insisted.

    http://www.rawstory.com/2016/09/trump-surrogate-black-voters-think-there-are-legitimate-questions-about-the-birth-certificate/

    Instead of winding down, the birther issue seems to be ramping up.

    “The truth is that Donald Trump has been instructed not to talk about his belief that President Obama was not really born in the United States because it will cost him votes.”

    “The American people deserve to know the real Donald Trump, which is why it is critical that NBC News’ Lester Holt ask Trump about his birtherism at the first presidential debate.”

    I think frequency is relevant. None of us are perfect. For example, all politicians occasionally change their position on one or another issue. Trump changes his positions several times a day on multiple issues.

    Is it just me or everytime Trump says something outlandish or takes criticism for something, are there people who do an internet search to find proof of Clinton or Obama doing the same thing?

    If you want to annoy the Trump fans, tell them Tom Brady sucks because you once saw him throw an interception. Then when they “One interception, what about all the great passes he’s thrown?”, you can just say, “Yes, we really should judge a player by their entire career, not just one bad play, shouldn’t we?”

    Dr. Conspiracy: Xerox 7655 refurbished, on eBay for $3299 + $300 shipping.

    Here’s one for $2000 + shipping. If you mouse over the images – it had a software update on July 28, 2015. i wonder if that fixed the issue with changing characters.

    David Farrar’s longing wistfully for yet another extra-constitutional requirement for the presidency:

    “I would hope, whomever is elected by the People’s vote, their presidential electors insist that a physical and mental examination be preformed on their winning presidential candidate prior to casting their votes”

    I guess the idea that voters might not do as he would like them to is just unacceptable to him.

    They’re a pretty nasty bunch.

    Dave B.: I’ve never been banned so quick as these guys did it.

    They sure can’t handle any alternative points of view. Really swift how the guy says “I’ll take that as a yes” after banning me.
    It’s been weird these last few days seeing some of the really old stuff being brought up all over again.

    yep I think i was banned there as well as weaselzippers. The admin tried challenging me in email on weaselzippers with the birther nonsense. When I tore apart each and every birther claim he got upset and blocked me

    They banned me too. Bad case of group think over there. I do ban folks sometimes, but I don’t go back and delete every comment they ever made, like Newsbusters did to me. Clearly they are trying to promote a point of view independently of its actual merits.
