    And at that point, I think Lowry started tanking National Review down a rabbit hole.

    There is a reason I say that...Lowry and crew have established a defense fund for Barrett today, to fight lies and innuendo in the media. OTOH, Lowry is most definitely a Never-Trumper.

    The irony is with no Trump, there is no Barrett...

    Without a GOP president there is no Barrett. It didn’t have to be Trump.

    And you're so full of shit your eyes are brown.

    Bush nor Mittens would have ever nominated Barrett.

    So you think she's going to be a conservative policy activist judge or an originalist?

    If she's an originalist - what's so radically novel about her?

    But you're right , my eyes are brown.

    I think she will be very similar to Scalia. That is anathema to the Dems. So much so, they are actually talking about packing the court.

    Maybe Klaus’s answers weren’t sealed properly and therefore were thrown out.

    Horace is likely busy setting up his transition team.

    You keep hearing that "Google is not your friend," and usually when you hear that, it's referring to privacy issues. But Google isn't any business owner's friend, either.

    Here are two searches I just ran:

    google 2.JPG

    Capture 2.JPG

    What's different about these searches compared to the Google of 5-10 years ago?

    Well, the first one is more graphical, and the second more closely resembles questions you might have about the subject matter you searched for, but look at the answers.

    You don't need to click off the page to get your answers, do you?

    Think about that. And if you think that isn't deliberate you're out of your mind. How companies "win" in Google search rankings today is to publish material that Google can pull from (and take credit for in terms of traffic), to provide answers on their SERP that are so comprehensive that the searcher has no reason to click on the source and visit that company's page. Google actually gives preferential treatment to companies who make this easier for them, and downranks content that you have to click into to find your answers.

    It's not just Google, either. Facebook does the exact same thing with their ads. They'd much prefer you create ads that don't give users a reason to leave the Facebook platform; ads that do this less perform better.

    Remember "don't be evil"? What a fucking joke that turned out to be.

    I'm thinking he will gain more empathy on what it's like to be somebody's wife. Maybe several somebodies.

    Kim Jung Un is about the second or third least likely person in the world to apologize for screwing shit up that I can think of.

    Hm. OK, I'm not going to ask.

    @George-K said in Passing the Bar:

    The only question I have about the story is how "active" her labor really was. Yeah, she had membrane rupture, and contractions. I've seen lots and lots of women in very early labor in exactly the same situation, and the contractions are little more then, "Oh, look! Here's another contraction."

    When things get really active, the contractions are "GODDAMMIT MOTHERFUCKER MAKE IT STOP .... NOWWWWWW!!!"

    So, yeah, in early labor, I can see her taking a test for several hours if her labor wasn't really well-established and active. Once that happens, there's no way. None.

    Agreed. There's labor, and then there's LABORRRRRRRRRRR. She obviously was in the first stage, not the end stage.

    Link won’t let me scroll down. It reloads when I try.

    Anyway my understanding was the GOP tried as they might to get Democrats to object to her religion but none took the bait.

    For what it’s worth the court is actually full of Catholics. There are actually no WASPs on the court.
