Overnight Open Thread (19 Feb 2016)
Yes, it's true. The Republicans have no balls and I fear Harry Reid is right when he says the Republicans will cave . They always do.
Speeding Tickets
Here are the cars that get the most and least tickets . Of course you are gonna get a speeding ticket driving a 350Z. When was the last time you saw one of those not speeding?

ER Visits
Pretty cool interactive chart. These are the top 250 products that people injure themselves on or within a year . Stairs is number one.
Anti-SMOD
Damn. Looks like NASA wants to try and stop SMOD. NASA creates planetary defense office . Who do they think they are kidding? Our government can't even run a website let alone send up astronauts. They'll just end up focusing on CO2 or something and call it a day.
Allocated Money Just Sitting
House rejects Obama's request for $1.8 billion to fight Zika . Evidently, HHS is sitting on $1.4 billion that was allocated for Ebola. I wonder how much other money is sitting in between the cushions that hasn't been spent?
Tank Icecapades
Watch American battle tanks skid around in Norwegian snow .

We're So Screwed
Bond, Jamesina Bond - national security in the Social Justice Warriors' brave new world .
CIA Director John Brennan said diversity and inclusion are "at the heart" of what the intelligence service is "charged to do."
So the CIAs primary mission now is essentially HR stuff?
Germs
This does not seem like news to me and one could argue that hotels and other forms of public transportation are the same. Airline employee reveals surprising things passengers aren't told .
