I'm wondering how the audience will choose between her channel and "The Blaze". Somewhat disheartened that there may be a large enough market for both of them.

Nobody is forcing you to read what I write. If you don't like it and don't want to talk about it then feel free to go read someone else's JE. You can allege "judge first" all you want, but you should be aware of the judgment you yourself are casting when you do that.
The difference being that I'm here to entertain myself. I don't get all self congratulatory with my higher goals to improve the plight of my fellow human beings. I'm also not claiming to engage in anything approaching a fair or reasonable discussion. Much like I read and posted for years at Daily Kos (and here), "it's the hypocrisy".
I'm torn on this one. On 1 hand, anything a mother does has to be right by default, and all cultures and belief systems are equally valid, and feelings trump cold hard facts, but this seems pretty damning. How is a 21st century white guy supposed to react to this completely obvious news? Where do I focus my outrage?
Given that only a subset of Slashdot users are HBO subscribers, how is this relevant?
People didn't look, or think, they just reacted from their gut. Sounds like perfectly trained American voters/consumers.
Who's the villain here?
But 200 miles certainly covers any and all local in-town and in-area travel possibilities, and nearly everything but very long distance travel.
Nope. You need 250 plus a safety margin - on mountains for part of the trip.
In my case that's half a commute between my Silicon Valley townhouse and my edge-of-Nevada ranch. But that's virtually the same trip as between Silicon Valley / San Francisco Bay Area and many weekend vacation spots: Lake Tahoe ski resorts, Reno gambling, gold country camping, etc.
Make a car that can do 30-mile-one-way commute efficiently and has this 250-and-chage range, and a Northern Californian who works near the coast and blows off steam near the CA/NV interface only needs ONE vehicle. (So it takes four to six hours to charge when you get there and when you get back - so what? It'll be parked longer than that anyhow.) Less and he/she needs TWO, with all the environmental impact of building both. Further, the long-range one is a gas hog by comparison.
Does a loaded F-150 even get 500 miles on a single tank of gas?
Yes, it does.
But it's a 37 galon tank.
I love everything about my F-150 Lariet EXCEPT the gas mileage (and the refusal to pan the weather map except when the vehicle is stopped). Unfortunately, when you have to haul several tons up and down a mountain or across an unpaved desert from time to time, it's hard to avoid a tradeoff in that department.
When it comes to guns, you judge first, taking whatever story constructs the best straw man for you to knock down. You never suggest waiting for all of the facts to arrive before casting judgement.
Don't worry; Detroit is still fucked.
Came for the Armageddon reference; left satisfied.
