Journal Journal: MySQL on Vagrant 8
The precise reason the synched_folder isn't working is really unclear. Just an error 13 in the log. Wish I had all the time in the world to comb Google and find the proper magic spell.
But--and here's the part Hollywood would miss--outside of local media like San Francisco magazine, the coverage was surprisingly muted.The New York Times buried the story as a one-paragraph Associated Press report on page A21, with the bland dog-bites-man headline, "California: State Senator Accused of Corruption." This even though Yee was suspended, along with two others, from the California state senate in light of the indictment.
CNN, home (also until last week) of Piers Morgan, whom Yee had praised for his anti-gun activism, didn't report the story at all. When prodded by viewers, the network snarked that it doesn't do state senators. Which is odd, because searching the name of my own state senator, Stacey Campfield, turns up a page of results, involving criticisms of him for saying something "extreme". Meanwhile, CNN found time to bash Wisconsin state senator and supporter of Gov. Scott Walker, Randy Hopper over marital problems.
But there's a difference. They're Republicans. When Republicans do things that embarrass their party, the national media are happy to take note, even if they're mere state senators. But when Democrats like Yee get busted for actual felonies, and pretty dramatic ones at that, the press suddenly isn't interested.
It's almost as though the editors are taking orders from someone.
The Affordable Care Act: The president can stop repeal of Obamacare, but a determined congressional majority can wreak havoc by using the initial budget process, known as reconciliation, which allows major changes to be made with only a majority Senate vote that isn't subject to filibusters.
A GOP Congress is going to have to lead. While we can gripe that it was sold as pure rectal sunshine, Obama's agenda HAS, in fact, been more audacious than any in memory. Attempts at GOP leadership in the Paul/Cruz vein are vilified.
Anybody who thinks that the GOP is going to do anything dramatic 2014-6, or even upon regaining the White House, must be anticipating much more regular gluteal stimulation from the boot of the people to the GOP backside than is likely to be delivered.
You've just really got to love the kind of jerk who, when given a specific example of where he has opted to be offensive, not only fails to show the slightest bit of remorse, but in fact doubles down on the behavior. ANGTFT.
I take you attempt to shift the discussion from butchering innocent human life in a country where I am a citizen to one with which my country trades is an admission that you know you're RONNGG.
By your logic, the fact that I listened to "Jamaican Jerk Off" the other day while driving, as the iPod went through "J", means I support modern variations on marriage, given that Elton John performed it.
You stay smashing, fustakrakich.
"I think what we've shown in Wisconsin is that it's not about austerity--it's about reform,â Walker said. "And what I mean by that is if we just come in our state and cut things across the board that means you cut your priorities as much as you cut things that aren't quite as important. We reined in collective bargaining. We put more power back in the hands of the taxpayer at the state and the local level. I think nationally we need that same sort of reform no matter who is running for president. I'd slash the marginal tax rates for everyone across the board--go to a simpler, more flat tax."
We should hasten to add that, in stark contrast to #OccupyResoluteDesk, Walker actually has a record of, you know, reforming.
"We put more power back in the hands of the taxpayer at the state and the local level," he says. That's kind of like my notion of "redistribute power, not wealth," that the slack-jawed sycophants keep rejecting. You little knuckle-draggers stay lovely, now.
Mufson and Eilperin, at least, give no reason we should believe a word they say. They rely on their status as staff writers or reporters for the Washington Post and the aptitude with which they can deploy the lingo of journalists fulfilling their traditional function consistent with professional norms.
Read the whole thing for a tale of two sad little hacks at the WaPoo, doing their lame best at attacking the Koch brothers, and their bitch-slapping at the hands of among the better bloggers online today.
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?
