hard drives and CDs filled with photographs
It sucks that I’m feeling even a shred of hope that we’ll ever be told what’s in those hard drives and photos.
It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it.
(Also sucks how often I find myself referencing that Carlin quote.)
I feel deep deep sympathy for whatever flunky is assigned to review those pics. PTSD in the making.
Carlin may not have been perfect - but he was damn good.
Don’t know why they didn’t just do a wet insert and take him to a black site straight away instead of this drawn out farce that has publicly implicated three other governments.
And let’s not forget that the women never got justice because that was NEVER an intention of the US government.
Reminds me of Northern Ireland.
“The operator of a North Carolina credit repair business has been sentenced to more than eight years in prison for creating fake police reports to clean up his clients’ bad credit and enlisting his family to help run a $3.4 million credit card fraud scheme at Lowe’s LOW, 0.22%.”
“Michael Griffin, 53, involved seven relatives in the credit card scam, including his wife, daughter, two brothers and three sisters, one of whom was an online pastor. The scheme involved the creation of “synthetic identities” that relied on the stolen Social Security numbers of children, prosecutors said.”
Chris “Sky” Saccoccia is a spoiled attention seeker grifter who needs to find out.
Build-a-Bear Workshop, taking their freedums?
/s, I think.
I’ve been happy that there’s no equivalent of the Federalist Society in Canada to screw up the legal branch of government. Even when Stephen Harper was appointing Supreme Court justices, he couldn’t load it the way Trump did, because there’s no farm system to recruit and indoctrinate young lawyers, fast track them into the judiciary, monitor their political correctness, and position them for the top jobs.
I guess the Koch Bro and Friends were unhappy about that.
Meet the Runnymede Society: a libertarian group, funded by the Koch Atlas Network, rapidly establishing chapters at law schools across Canada.
Here’s a great critique of their attempt to set up a rigged debate of the boogeyman of Critical Race Theory:
“ But to see price hikes of as much as 675% being imposed in real time, automatically, by a hospital’s computer system still takes your breath away.
I got to view this for myself after a former operating-room nurse at Scripps Memorial Hospital in Encinitas shared with me screenshots of the facility’s electronic health record system.
The nurse asked that I not use her name because she’s now working at a different Southern California medical facility and worries that her job could be endangered.
Her screenshots, taken earlier this year, speak for themselves.
What they show are price hikes ranging from 575% to 675% being automatically generated by the hospital’s software.
The eye-popping increases are so routine, apparently, the software even displays the formula it uses to convert reasonable medical costs to billed amounts that are much, much higher.
For example, one screenshot is for sutures — that is, medical thread, a.k.a. stitches. Scripps’ system put the basic “cost per unit” at $19.30.
But the system said the “computed charge per unit” was $149.58. This is how much the patient and his or her insurer would be billed.
The system helpfully included a formula for reaching this amount: “$149.58 = $19.30 + ($19.30 x 675%).”
Another problem that would be solved by M4A. What procedure was done? Ok, here’s your code, and it’s all anyone is going to pay.
“But private enterprise is more efficient [at generating profits by extracting your money]!”
Not the biggest asshole at Faux News. So perhaps not a huge surprise that he’s leaving.
I’m really just surprised it took him so long… I guess breaking his contract carried penalties?
Is this a trade? Chris Wallace for Chris Cuomo?
And an asshole to be named later…
Not exactly a man of integrity.
(I still hope that Kentucky gets disaster aid, because it’s the right thing to do for any place hit by a tragedy like that.)
