Timrrr commented on How to Make SLU an Affordable Neighborhood.

Right off the bat you're wrong, Nick:

It's never going to an affordable neighborhood if the only "local grocery store" is Whole Foods! (aka Whole Paycheck)

Timrrr commented on Rand Paul Thinks He'll Be Able to Destroy Gay Marriage In a "Couple of Decades".

Will Christian voters ever manage to realize they're being played by jokers like this?

Well, by definition a Christian is someone who's already gettin' played by some joker wearing vestments or a cassock, so...

...no. No, they never will.

Timrrr commented on Slog Bible Study: Job 9:23.

Well... sure it sounds bad outta context, but once you look at the surrounding verses,

20 - Even if I were innocent,
God would prove me wrong.
21 - I am not guilty,
but I no longer care
what happens to me.
22 - What difference does it make?
God destroys the innocent
along with the guilty.
23 - When a good person dies
a sudden death,
God sits back and laughs.
24 - And who else but God
blindfolds the judges,
then lets the wicked
take over the earth?

See? That's so much better!

And whatever you do DON'T transfer them to digital format!

As tapes they're pretty safe, but as soon as they're in an easily copied & uploaded digital form you might as well just post 'em on the web and email the link to you grandma. They will get out there.

Timrrr commented on A New Ad from Sam Bellomio!.

I find his anti-sitting campaign morally offensive.

When will the gentle Sitters of America finally get a voice at the table?!? They pay taxes too! Who will speak for them?!?

Not Sam Bellomio, that's for sure!

Timrrr commented on The Doctor Who Business Is Male-Dominated.

Well... the reboot was produced by a gay man, so what else would you expect?

Timrrr commented on They Didn't Want to Call the Cops.

This situation finds an analogy in ODs.

Junkies didn't want to call 911 when their friends overdosed for fear of being busted on drug charges themselves. People died as a result. We found the solution there by making explicit (and recently encoding into our law) the fact that those calling in an OD case will not run the risk of arrest. Period.

The obvious solution here is for Chief Diaz, the Mayor and/or the City Council to make it abundantly clear --publicly-- that they will not evict the campers simply for reporting serious crimes that have taken place within a homeless encampment.

In fact, Ben, I'd say a follow-up call to Diaz & McGinn asking for them to make that public assurance --on the record with you-- should be your obvious next "cub-reporter-makes-good" move at this point!
