"Ron Paul’s quixotic presidential campaigns appealed to young liberals who could ignore everything else he believed in: just say “legalize it!” and invoke enough spooky-government stuff to stoned kids jacked-in to the internet, and they gloss over the social issues and calls to reestablish the labor and infrastructural horrors of the 19th century. That’s always been the libertarian way, and it would make Ron’s son Rand Paul – the newly declared Republican presidential candidate – a radical candidate. But that would also require that Rand Paul be a libertarian." - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

"Which he’s not, and which the announcement of his presidential candidacy on Tuesday did little to address. To his credit, Rand cited his opposition to collecting Americans’ cell phone data and called for the repeal of “any law that disproportionately incarcerates people of color,” which would seem to include almost all American criminal law. But the rest was Republican red meat that wouldn’t be out of place in any announcement from fellow conservative candidates." - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

"Despite his branding, Rand is more of a Libertarian In Name Only, a fairly standard Republican adding performative LINO harrumphing on token issues." - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

Ugh. Is this MegaBus or Greyhound? - Corinne L

Not sure how much this helps, but the former owners had a backup from 2010 (!). - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

"Her father, she says, promised that one day she and his two sons would inherit the company and run it together. Then, a year ago, she was blindsided again. Her father handed the company over to his sons, John Jr., 42, and Jamie, 39. Tammy kept her title as senior vice president but says she was asked to clean out her office and stay away from the dealerships." - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

In an industry where women are such important customers, the dad and sons of Darcars are massively hurting their own business with this. - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

(Obviously there's the basic question of fairness, but on top of that the economically rational choice would also be the moral one here.) - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

That's just jerky. Autoplay videos are terrible enough on their own. - CAJ was here

Dramafever's recap posts are like that. It's awful and I've been complaining for years, but they still add that stupid autoplay video allllllllllllllllllllllllll the way at the bottom of their long ass posts. - Anika

Yeah, there are some small town newspaper sites that work like that. Awful. - Spidra Webster

Just hit another one and it was IBtimes. - Spidra Webster

I know Senape mentioned he's got a faster loading version, he just didn't have time to fully test it before last weekend. - Jennifer Dittrich

FriendFeed imports are to blame, senape says (http://ff.im/1kUdyM). He is internally testing a much faster home, too: http://ff.im/1kUhCh (English translation in the 1st comment). - Osiride

Nice! - Jennifer Dittrich

Oh, that's good to hear. - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

I should have just called it "THE SAURUS". D'OH. - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

"“Who are you talking to,” said the Duck. “Who on earth do you think is talking to you?” And the Hen had learned not to hear insults unless they were absolutely unavoidable, so the Hen did not hear the Duck say anything." - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

"When the wheat was all threshed, the Little Red Hen said, “Who’ll help me take this wheat to the mill?” The Little Red Hen had found that the easiest way to deal with injury was to forget it. If she didn’t forget it, she would be unhappy and in pain every day, and the Little Red Hen did not like to be unhappy. So instead she decided not to remember, and was happy." - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

That's horrible! - Brian Johns

[from 1997] ""With its rich tapestry of black, Asian and Hispanic cultures, Los Angeles' diversity is one of its greatest strengths," said L.A. mayor Richard Riordan, announcing the plan. "And with some 15 gallons of water contained within the body of an average 170-pound L.A. minority resident, these people also represent one of our city's great untapped natural resources."" - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

"6 - (verb) the time of night when you have to head to bed or home due to being very tried, or having something to do very early in the morning, Orgins- Cinderella" -- I have no idea where I picked this up, but I'm glad it's on UD so I know I didn't just make it up. - Andrew C (see frenf.it)
