Comment Re:West Virginia too (Score 1) 468

People in Kentucky are receiving "ELECTION VIOLATION NOTICE" mailers from Mitch McConnell's campaign that appear to be from the board of elections. "You are at risk of acting on fraudulent information that has been targeted for citizens living in $COUNTY_NAME". You have to open it and read the fine print to realize you won't be arrested for voting.

You can add FL to that list too, thanks to Governor Skeletor.) This lady is in NJ, still tests negative, has a temp of 98.6, but Christie still says she's "obviously ill", claiming "she may to be tested for that again because sometimes it takes a little bit longer to make a definitive determination, there's no question the woman is ill, the question is what is her illness." But I doubt the people who voted for him at his Hotmail voting booth address will ever regret hitting "Send".

McDonalds took a 30% hit in earnings. It didn't help that they were passing out pamphlets to employees on how to apply for food stamps. I had a friend who took her kids there all the time, but even she was revolted when she heard that and they never went there again.

It's my right to run around Texas if I have Ebola because the government engineered the virus to kill us and is trying to cover it up! Now pardon me while I go out and drown the government in a bathtub and then form my own corporate banking monopoly to earn an extra bit of bitcoin on the side so I can buy guns and cigarette paper and an eighth without the government taking the green hit off my doob.

Comment How not to write a screenplay! (Score 2) 238

If the Terminator comes from the future, let's be realistic! He'll show up with lots of bloatware. Not only will ke kill you, he'd go through your social media accounts to track down and kill everyone on Facebook that you ever went to high school with. He'd also check your mail, handle phone calls, self-install software updates from the future, keep track of your bank account, play second-person-shooter video games, autoplay video advertisements, and sound cool alarm tones to remind you of your impending appointment with death.
