"I am a lifelong journalist with ink in my veins. And for all my criticism of the media's errors and excesses, I have always believed in the mission of aggressive reporting and holding politicians accountable. But the past two years have radicalized me. I am increasingly troubled by how many of my colleagues have decided to abandon any semblance of fairness out of a conviction that they must save the country from Trump." Howard Kurtz
Nationalism trumps democratism.
Before, every morning, I was afraid to discover a guy hanging in his cell. You know what I'm dreading today? To be slaughtered, stripped, stabbed in the back. In the name of Islam and ISIS. Every day, on my way to work, this fear gnaws at my belly." 'Bernard,' a French prison guard.
"Not only has he been embarrassed today with his political ineptitude, [but] now Chuck Schumer is just flat-out lying. So, Chuck, I suggest you get a better strategy team and you get your facts straight. Don't put words in my mouth unless you're willing to come on the show — we've invited you — and defend them." Laura Ingraham
While you were installing shelving, the shelf falls and hits you. The air becomes blue with cursing and swearing. It helps. Why? The results could best be summarized by the phrase “Maladaptive, my ass!” It turned out that, when they were swearing, the intrepid volunteers could keep their hands in the water nearly 50 percent longer as when they used their non-cursing, table-based adjectives. Not only that, while they were swearing the volunteers’ heart rates went up and their perception of pain went down. In other words, the volunteers experienced less pain while swearing. It’s an easy experiment to try for yourself at home, or at a party if you have the right kind of friends. All you need is a bowl of ice water and a stopwatch. So why wasn’t this experiment done soon after the invention of the ice cube? The Green Energy business has cost the American Taxpayer a shit-ton of money over the past few years.
President Donald Trump dealt his biggest blow to the renewable energy industry yet.
It is a shame that American educational institutions do not encourage critical thinking. Because if they did perhaps the American public wouldn't be subjected to algorithms doing the criminal justice systems work. Caution is indeed warranted, according to Julia Dressel and Hany Farid from Dartmouth College. In a new study, they have shown that COMPAS is no better at predicting an individual’s risk of recidivism than random volunteers recruited from the internet.
It's funny that Mrs. Mis. Hum. and I were discussing the length of days before I came upon the following link. We had noted the afternoons seem to be picking up length but not so much the mornings. Do you judge winter over by daylight or by the calendar?
January 24, 2005, Country singer Lynn Anderson was arrested for shoplifting after being caught stealing a Harry Potter DVD from a New Mexico supermarket and punching a police officer during her arrest. The 57 year-old had the 1970 Top 5 hit 'Rose Garden' via thisdayinmusic.com January 24, 1941, Born on this day, Neil Diamond, singer, songwriter. Had the 1970 US No.1 & UK No.3 single 'Cracklin' Rose' plus over 30 other US & 10 UK Top 40 singles. Wrote 'I'm A Believer', the No.1 for The Monkees.

With his 2008 album ‘Home Before Dark’ Diamond became the oldest artist to have a US number one, the record was previously held by Bob Dylan in 2006 with ‘Modern Times’. via thisdayinmusic.com
But now it seems that the push to delay adulthood has extended to medical professionals. Writing in the medical journal Lancet, Dr. Susan Sawyer and other researchers opine that biological information and social trends suggest a need for adolescence to continue into an individual’s mid-twenties:
Last night I was going to touch upon the NFL and their politicization and bastardization of Vets and the American flag. However, Ace did a bang up job covering it Tuesday afternoon. If you go to read it later please don't comment on or you face the possibility of being banned. Just don't post on old threads. But, there was a time in the NFL that patriotism wasn't objected to. Meet Maurice "Footsie" Britt. The world of sports is often said to serve as but a shadow or reflection of war. There are physical rigors, stressful scenarios, and often the need to pit man against man in a battle for victory. But occasionally, that shadow meets reality, and an athlete excels not only in the field of sport but the field of battle. Rodger Goodell of the NFL and Mark Murphy of the Green Bay Packers aren't worthy to wash his jock strap let alone say they belong in the NFL.
Somali family reaches milestone — welcomes 150th member to Canada
There is drunk and then there is Genius Award Winning Drunk. Rahway's fire chief is accused of driving while so drunk that he urinated and vomited on himself on his way home from a party. Too good of a story to hang onto to Saturday's Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.
Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by The Shopping List.
