Overnight Open Thread (27 Jun 2015)

Welcome to the circular firing squad. According to feminists, "trigger warning" is now also a trigger.

Admiral Josh Painter: "This business will get out of control! It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it!"

Animal Farm

Evidently, some people are more special than others. Justice Department to fast track $29 million dollars to help Charleston shooting victims' families. Keep in mind, this money isn't tax dollars. The Fort Hood victims had to fight tooth and nail to just get a purple heart.

On a side note, perhaps those of us who have become victims of the OPM debacle (there is no patch for incompetence)can request lifetime funding from this fund to cover the costs of having to have identity protection services for the rest of our lives.

Hmmmm

This might get interesting. Coalition of African-American pastors vow civil disobedience to gay marriage ruling. I think they'll fold when tax-exempt statuses come up.

Rocket Under The Ice

Religion

If religion does not matter in regard to homosexuality, then why must we restrict our behaviors in deference to Islam? Yeah, yeah, I know we're guests in those countries and I'm being snarky but you know folks are afraid of offending Islamic leaders.

Hollywood

Heh. Actors and directors who deeply regretted their movies.

I think Tom Cruise will probably end up adding Top Gun 2 to his regret list. I can't believe they're going through with that one. For now. I'd rather see Red Storm Rising made into a movie.

BTW, I did see Jurassic World tonight with my son. It was a pretty good summer flick. Not as good as the original but easily better than 2 and 3. Plus, Bryce Dallas Howard is very easy on the eyes.

Asteroid Day

So June 30th is Asteroid Day and their goal is come up with solutions to save us from SMOD. At this point, I'm rooting for SMOD.
