fletc3her commented on Nineteen Things About Patty Murray.

I think the one constant in Patty Murray's career is that she has been underestimated. Of course one man's pork is another man's Boeing contracts, Coast Guard vessels, environmental grants to clean up Puget Sound, etc.

fletc3her commented on Tornado Truthers.

This particular idea is laughably insane, but it plays into a conspiracy worldview.

Would you rather be a victim of a government death machine or own up to the responsibility of permitting, building, selling, buying, or renting a house without a safe room?

This is somewhat hilarious. What are they going to do? Move the airport?

fletc3her commented on The Justice Department Spied on Fox News and White House Staffers, Too.

I think I'd care more if I had any respect for the press left.

fletc3her commented on Microsoft Resets Xbox to One.

There didn't seem to be anything to get excited about in the announcements about XBox or PlayStation. They are faster of course and have some components that were add-ons in this generation built-in.

However, I do think consoles will continue to prove popular among a lot of gamers and families. They are still considerably cheaper than a PC rig which can play comparable games.

fletc3her commented on All You Motherfuckers Complaining That aPodments Are Too Small at 200 Square Feet.

I see apodments as the normalization of the cooperative housing environments that many college students and recent graduates find themselves in. Rather than having an ever rotating group living on a single lease each tenant gets their own lease for their private space and the public space is explicitly shared.

Houses and apartments are being lived in like this now. Making the living arrangement explicit should help bring accountability to the building rather than decrease it.

fletc3her commented on What You're Not Wearing: The Eagle Edition!.

When do people go to the Eagle? Last time I went in there, there were less than a dozen people spread throughout the place despite it being an advertised event with a cover (or maybe because it was an advertised event with a cover?). I'm sort of cover shy with the place at this point.

fletc3her commented on Obama Administration Described a Reporter Just Doing His Job as Probable "Aider, Abettor, and/or Co-Conspirator" in a Crime.

I actually wanted them to go after reporters for aiding and abetting the Bush administration officials who burned Valerie Plame, but I guess that would have been beyond the pale as well.

fletc3her commented on No Wonder So Many Drivers Resent Seeing Their Tax Dollars Spent to Subsidize Transit.

I think drivers should be first in line to support transit subsidies since it helps shift cars off the road. There is no need for you personally to ever ride transit in order to benefit from its construction.
