Sir Vic commented on The Stuck Bus.

@3 & @4 That's a great way to hurt yourself and the person in the chair. It's also potentially humiliating to the person in the chair, which is the whole point of the lift in the first place. I've been in Charles' spot many times, and surveyed the options for brute strength assistance. It's a bad option, only to be used in an emergency (fire). The physics just aren't good for lifting a power chair and person down the bus stairwell.

Sir Vic commented on Supreme Court Says DNA Testing of Arrestees Is "Reasonable".

For most Presidents, SCOTUS appointments are their most lasting legacy. Sadly, Dubya's lasting legacies are broken treaties and a decade of war.

Sir Vic commented on The Morning News: Protests in Turkey Rage On, Bradley Manning's Trial Starts Today, and Lots of People Were Shot in NYC This Weekend.

@2 So the HPV vaccine is a good idea because the world should be safe to eat pussy? I thought women's health was reason enough, but that seals the deal!

Sir Vic commented on Rand Paul Tries to Woo Silicon Valley.

There is a split in the GOP happening, where the bigot & religious factions brought in by Nixon & Reagan are tagged as the reason why they are losing elections instead of winning them. Those two factions will coalesce around the Tea Party, leaving the pro-biz libertarian crowd to rediscover the Republican party. That latter group is where Rand Paul is better positioned.

Sir Vic commented on Sen. Mike Carrell, RIP.

The saddest part of this story is that Sen. Carrell's friends & family were actively raising money for his medical treatment. Somehow, a retired teacher and sitting state senator does not have medical coverage for life threatening illnesses.

Sir Vic commented on Eric Holder Continues to Do Wrong Things.

So Holder is going to have a meeting with a group of people whose jobs revolve around printing leaked information, and ask them not to leak the very information he gives them?

He's even more stupid than I gave him credit for. At this point, we have to assume that the Senate GOP has threatened to block any new AG appointment Obama might make. The only reason for Holder to still have the job is that no one else is allowed to do it.

Sir Vic commented on So Long, Crazy Eyes: Michele Bachmann Announces She's Not Going to Run for Congress Next Year.

@24 Only as a matter of seniority. Also, Gohmert's stupidity has more to do with bigotry than just total cluelessness and vanity.

Sir Vic commented on So Long, Crazy Eyes: Michele Bachmann Announces She's Not Going to Run for Congress Next Year.

@13 Her "law degree" is in tax law from Trailer Park Jesus U. She might have the necessary paperwork skills to fool someone in the IRS. That's not a sign of intellect.

@5 Dumbest is now the exclusive domain of Maxine Waters, who really works at it. Vilest has been Peter King for some time now.

Sir Vic commented on Yet Another Example of Oppressive Government Regulations Destroying Free Enterprise.

How long before we find out that the corporation that owns most of those TGIFriday's has connections to organized crime? This looks like classic mobster operating procedure.

Sir Vic commented on The Only Thing More Tragic than a Bridge Collapse Would Be a 10 Cent a Gallon Increase in the Gas Tax.

@12 Not to mention that expanding the CRC just increases the systemic tax dodging in the Vancouver-Portland area. (Live in Vancouver, pay no income tax; shop in Portland, pay no sales tax) Spending tax dollars to make it easier for thousands to avoid paying taxes doesn't make a lot of sense.
