No. Virginia has a "sore loser" law. He's out as a (R). He could run as a write-in. Good luck with that.

He took his election for granted and got ambushed. Lets have a few hundred more of those, on all sides. Maybe they'll spend a little less time pandering to COC throw-open-the-borders lobbyists and start listening to voters.

Red Hat is committed to supporting RHEL6 until Nov. 2020, and Nov. 2023 with extended support, nearly 9 more years,. What, exactly, is your point?

Long term support is one of the appeals of Red Hat..... they get paid for it.

Climate modelers belong in NOAA.

China is still 50% subsistence farmers that live nearly carbon neutral lives. By contrast, "rural" Americans generally have a modest collection of SUVs; almost everyone in the US a is solid contributor to the per capita CO2 figure.

If you attribute Chinese CO2 to the Chinese actually responsible for the CO2 — the urban Chinese workers employed by Chinese industry — per capita CO2 doubles to 14.2 tonnes. And while that still doesn't match the US at 16.4 tonnes, US GPD is almost 2x greater.

So the US looks comparatively good; we get a lot more value for the carbon we emit. Likewise, if the US had 300 million subsistence farmers to improve that average we would be far down your list as well.

The per capita argument is a cop-out used to rationalize extreme CO2 reduction schemes. It's a bogus argument that goes unchallenged too often.

The reason the US has zero tariffs on nearly all finished goods is that we use trade status as leverage to push various and sundry agenda on foreign nations — bases in Okinawa, drug wars in Mexico and Columbia, "human rights" ... or something ... in China, etc. — not some sacred truth learned from Smoot-Hawley.

Many Western nations have significant tariffs on imports, Germany being the best example. They've had a rigorous trade regime for decades that limits competition with disposable Asian workers and unregulated industry. This is a major reason they still have a healthy working class, a fully funded welfare state and enough disposable wealth to prop up a continent full of deadbeat PIIGS.

But keep chanting Smoot-Hawley if you want. The trade pendulum has swung so far to one side that it has got to swing back the other way at least a little, so you and your fellow Smoot-Hawley chanters are going to lose this argument in the long run. Now that the libtards and their St. Krugman are on the case it's going to be soon too.

There is nothing weird about any of this. You're just not sufficiently cynical. Alternately defending or opposing the same thing based on which part of the political spectrum to which it is attributed is entirely commonplace.

There is no daylight between the NSA and the CFPB in terms of privacy; they're both eradicating privacy on behalf of statists. But while there is a limitless font of fount and loathing for the former, the latter gets a pass because Obama says it protects the "little guy" from the ebil banksters.

Hmm.

Could we, perhaps, use some of the techniques that people have speculated about for deflecting space rocks and, instead, guide one into Earth deliberately?

He certainly didn't think of himself as a nerd. This is what he wrote about the "nerd" roommates he stabbed to death:

This is the twitter-verse flailing around for answers. Perhaps the usual gun-control narrative/cop-out isn't playing as well because half the killings are stabbings, so they've slouched into "misogyny."

Whatever. Don't let the Internet raise your kid.

Ricky, keep your damn garbage bees away from me.
