Disneyland lines are shorter--less paperwork/less redtape/less ignorance/less malingering

the biggest problem with the VA is dealing with a clientele that gets paid not to get well and employees who can only survive in the government environment/protective umbrella

[Jungle Rat]

Still don't understand the hate for the new VA leader McDonald or whatever. He walked into a hornets nest.

[eCat]

no, he's at least recognized the problem and has made improvements, but he hasn't done anything dramatic

Long read, but I equally love and hate this dude...

given the state of airline travel, I just spent the $100 to do the international travel TSA pre-check.

Not sure what difference it will make if any, but I'm expensing it to the company anyways, so what the hell.

I think its all a big scam - I have no idea how this process is going to make me safer when flying.

I'll have to go in for an interview sometime next week and get fingerprinted. Not big on that but fuck it - I'm 50 now. I think my days of being a political anarchist or master criminal are behind me.

Long before pre-check, I joined NEXUS in Canada to keep from having to go through customs. It was great more snaking lines at the border, each way. It was $50 back then. Then they expanded it and I could return from South America without the wait border and now from Europe. When pre-check started I was automatically enrolled and it's great.

I remember he was a huge donor to the Ron Paul campaign in 2012.

Apparently ( I didn't read all the article so it might be in there) he also bankrolled Hulk Hogans efforts to bankrupt Gawker for outing him.

Also, Stanford must have the highest per capita of entrepreneurs than any other university. They crank those guys out.

[Bklyn]

Yep. The article was written in 2012, so the Gawker story isn't there.

On Stanford...yeah, they definitely cultivate entrepreneurs in their culture and curriculum, like Oberlin and Swarthmore crank out hard left liberals.

Dammit. Now I want to write a book. Title being "Fuck You Idiots"

[Bklyn]

I don't know what to say about the book because details about its content are very thin on Amazon.

Funny that no NDAs are required for agents. You would think more things would be written, if that is the case. I know my little pissant life would have some fantastic bits if someone shadowed me for 24 hours over 8 years of my life. I would think all former officials are easy fodder.

[eCat]

actually another SS dude wrote a book about what a bitch she was back in 1996

but no one cares when shes first lady and the economy is blowing up.

My agent says I need to change the title. I fired him.

The problem with these books is, even though they may have some damning tidbits, is that they never can measure up to the pre-release hype. Anything short of revealing the Clintons were performing infant sacrifices will be a big let down with this book.

[crashcourse]

I wish you would have been an infant sacrifice

[10ac]

heh

[Jungle Rat]

Nice

Which is why the Republican party have been a bit nervous.
