Why would you defend CNN? They don't give a shit about you. Like Rachel Maddow, they spent two years peddling a fake russia conspiracy. Would you "defend" Rachel Maddow too? I've been entirely clear that this is a nonpartisan issue. In fact, since you raised the issue, I went and looked at my posts. This is MY THIRD POST ON THIS VERY PAGE where I am stating this is a nonpartisan issue. I'm not trying to be a dick, but you lack basic reading comprehension skills. You can't converse like an adult when you make up obvious lies and expect people to respond. What am I supposed to say? I've already said it three times and all you are doing is pretending I didn't say it. I wholeheartedly endorse Michael Malice's comments here.

People who didn't listen to Dave South cannot possibly imagine how bad he was. He made Lowell Galindo sound like Tony Romo. I was on a road trip heading west on a gameday, trying to tune into a game, and I would get the radio from whatever small town I passed through. Dave South came on, and I listened. I couldn't believe it. It can't be described. It was like a comedy bit on SNL. I just couldn't believe what I was hearing. Then I realized, he was their guy. This was their Craig Way. This was their standard bearer. The excerpts above don't convey one tenth of the slackjawed nonsense that dude would put out. I was sad when he retired, because future generations would never be able to believe what it was. It was one of the stories that can't be made into a movie because nobody would believe it. So sad he is gone from the radio.

Wasn't he really doing well at one point? Maybe it was in the Spring game.

I just went and bookmarked that page. They have a bonus on Bonvoy points, which sucks IMO. But they did have 1.3 to 1 for Avios a while back, which would have been amazing for me since I just learned you can book on AA using Avios.

Buying Saks gift cards is genius. Thank for the advice.

I think we can all agree though, American Coronavirus would kick Chinese Coronavirus's ass every time.

On the upside for CNN, the clip has 10 million views. They don't ever get that kind of audience anymore.

You can add $100 for Saks Fifth Avenue credits. I'm unlikely to ever actually use them, but it's a benefit. There's other stuff as well.

The behavior under discussion occurred under Obama. I didn't think the reference was that obscure.

Does the bar allow you to advise people to commit felonies? What you're describing is punishable by up to five years in jail. https://www.oge.gov/Web/oge.nsf/Resources/18+U.S.C.+§+208:+Acts+affecting+a+personal+financial+interest http://ms.fd.org/sites/ms.fd.org/files/uploaded-files/cja-resources/files/maxpenaltie2.pdf https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/208

Question regarding gross weight. They had eight passengers? I've been in a UH-60 and you could do that but that's really tight. On top of that, I'm skeptical that a group of normal people are going to understand how to safely enter and exit a blackhawk.

You'd also think they had synthetic vision. Apparently not.

You are either quarantined, or you aren't. What likely has happened is that the government sends out soldiers and says "don't let anybody through". Well if you stop everybody, you stop food and fuel deliveries. So people can't eat and cars don't run. But if you let people in and out, you break the quarantine. I mean, let's ignore that they aren't stopping anyone from walking across a farmers field to get out. Anyone can bribe the guards. IF it was a real deal scenario, the barrier would have failed. Thankfully this appears to be a test virus, not the big Kahuna. The 1918 Flu hit the young more than the old, that's what made it so deadly. This isn't that. It's just taking out the old and vulnerable, which is terrible but not a catastrophe.

So the best way to honor a great basketball player is by not playing basketball? How about no.

Yeah, but the odds are really good that it wasn't engine trouble. We have a whole lot of information, including airspeed, which did not increase before the crash as you would see with engine trouble. The NTSB report is highly likely to confirm the obvious. The point is, I think the reason so many celebrities die in these kinds of crashes is that pilots get starstruck and do stupid things. A responsible pilot probably would not have taken off. 500 feet below a cloud, 1000 feet AGL in a congested area. Ceilings were 1100, don't take off. Granted, I'm not a rotary wing pilot, but I don't think it changes anything. METAR said 2SM visibility which only goes to show don't trust them too much. You can't really have mist (BR) and 2SM viz at the same time. LA is famous for being a dangerous place to fly. Mountain obscuration, CFIT, fog, etc. They really weren't in the vicinity of the Van Nuys airport anyway.

The way their media communicates, it would be easy to see people panic. However, they're also quite obedient over there, for good reason. It's a very interesting test case for a number of reasons, not least being that it's China and Xi Jingping is not exactly Making China Great Again.

Good for them for getting off the SS Eutanic. They're still doomed. Culturally, they're all on board with those who wish suicide to western civilization. If your version of "justice" is little girls getting gang raped, so much so that you all but ban press coverage of it, you're lost. It's as if Joe PAterno was put in charge of your whole country and they just denied the scandal. They're enacting the same economic policies that are killing the continent. GDP is still 10% lower than 2008. Their fertility rate is 1.68, well below steady state. They still believe in the "diversity is our strength" bullshit that is the heart of continental self abnegation. They arrest ten people per day for social media posts, because they think speech is the problem, not the problem is the problem. The one hope is that they grow their economy, and shaking off the EU regulatory handcuffs will help. Franceis caught between denial and a hard place with only tough choices and lower living standards to look forward to. I suspect the same is true for the UK. Leaving the EU is a good first step. More people are employed now in the UK than ever before and unemployment is at historic lows. But it'll take a massive cultural shift to fix what's broken in the UK, and on the continent. The people in charge want no part of the solutions.

How are the is quarantined Wuhan residents going to eat? Are they ust delivering food and gas and evrything else just like normal? Doesn't critical infrastructure start to fail at some point?

Joe will probably make a bunch of money off this.

Dolla dolla bills y'all.

On the one hand, lounge access is huge. I've been stranded plenty of times in various places and it was a miracle. On the other hand, if it all works out, I don't really need it. Regardless, I'll have a platinum card soon and it should help with a bunch of international travel. Sucks that the Uber credit is only domestic.
