House Republicans push to rename Dulles airport after Trump
  • They kind of already do, what with the most terrifying major airport being named after John Wayne, and the other shitty DC airport (you're better off flying into BWI and taking MARC down) being named after Reagan

  • What is your favorite alcoholic cocktail?
  • I'm partial to the New Orleans cocktails. If I'm making a Sazerac, I like this variation.

    On the whole, though, my favorite has to be the Vieux Carré

    • 3/4 oz rye
    • 3/4 oz cognac
    • 3/4 oz sweet vermouth
    • 1/3 oz Bénédictine D.O.M
    • 2 dashes Peychaud's bitters
    • 1 dash Angostura bitters
    • Optional absinthe rinse (I usually keep some absinthe in an atomizer because I refuse to throw out perfectly good absinthe)

    Serve in a rocks glass with a lemon twist

    At the same time, though, my love for bitter sometimes draws me to a Bonsoni:

    • 2 oz Carpano Antica vermouth
    • 1/2 oz Fernet Branca
  • After 2-year-old girl shoots self, man becomes first person charged under Michigan's gun storage law
  • Don't forget the racism. The NRA's perfectly fine with throwing away gun rights if it means making sure only white people are armed. For example, even as Harlon Carter was ramping up his crusade to turn the NRA from a sportsman's organization into the gun lobby, the NRA still supported the Mulford Act, because at least that was taking guns away from those damn ni- I mean, "violent extremists". They were dead silent when a legal, responsible gun owner like Philando Castile was killed. They never said anything when the textbook definition of a "good guy with a gun", Emantic Bradford, was killed. And we all know damn well why.

    The Harlon Carter school of gun rights comes with a major caveat present in many strains of conservatism: no restrictions as long as you're part of the right group.

    I will say this though, the issue is still pretty complicated, because basically both sides have some history of racism (gun control first started as ways to assuage fears of black uprisings, plus the aforementioned Mulford Act), but then, what part of American society isn't in some way permeated by our racist history?

  • What's the longest line you've ever waited in?
  • I once waited 3.5 hours for free pancakes at IHOP. I had a shit week and just wanted some free pancakes, but they accidentally crossed my name out before even seating me, so I saw multiple groups arrive after, eat, and leave before my dumbass thought "maybe I should say something."

    Also, my phone was dead for the last 2 hours of that.

    NBC News projects that more voters chose not to pick a candidate at all than back Haley. Trump was not on the ballot, since he's participating in Thursday's caucus instead.

    www.thebaltimorebanner.com Hampden’s Common Ground closes suddenly after 25 years

    News of the closure stunned the clusters of customers who stopped by for their morning caffeine and favorite baked goods.

    An interesting passage that may explain why it closed all of a sudden:

    > Hours later, Koski and a group of former Common Ground employees said in a statement they were given less than 12 hours notice about the closure, and blasted Krupp, who “was not transparent with his staff.”

    > They added that they had spent the previous few months forming a workers’ union, and, according to the statement, they are exploring “the possibility of forming a worker-owned cooperative to save our jobs and Common Ground.”

    theathletic.com Rob Manfred talks A's potential move to Vegas

    Rob Manfred answered questions about the A's potentially relocating to Las Vegas after this week's owners meetings.

    Hoo boy, fuck this guy. Some highlights:

    >What was your impression of [the reverse boycot]?

    >Manfred: It was great. It’s great to see what is, this year, almost an average Major League Baseball crowd in the facility for one night. That’s a great thing.

    Also:

    >What kind of sense have you gotten from the owners in your kind of informal conversations this week about how they feel about a potential move? It’s not really sneaking up on anyone.

    >Manfred: It has always been baseball’s policy and preference to stay put. I think that always colors any conversation about relocation. Having said that, I think the owners as a whole understand that there has been a multi-year, pushing-a-decade effort where for the vast majority of the time, the sole focus was Oakland. Look, believe me, and I hear from ‘em, I feel sorry for the fans in Oakland. I do not like this outcome, I understand why they feel the way they do. I think that the real question is, what is it that Oakland was prepared to do? There is no Oakland offer, OK? They never got to a point where they had a plan to build a stadium at any site. And it’s not just John Fisher. You don’t build a stadium based on the club activity alone. The community has to provide support and you know, at some point, you come to the realization, it’s just not going to happen.
