I also think Trumbo was screwed.  I hate to go on about FR but freaking seriously.  It was an interesting franchise movie.   It was a 2 hour car chase with great makeup.  There was so many better movies this year.

 Al Gore, a guest on the Bill Maher show last night, applauded the move as part of Obama's legacy in tackling climate change, especially the burning of coal for electricity.

New rules could freeze construction of new coal plants, shutter existing plants, limit US investment in foreign plants, and keep coal in the ground.

 Coal, except for Mitch McConnell (R.KY), is known as a dirty and dangerous source of energy; it adsorbs every thing (on an illustrative micro level, charcoal has been used in poisoning cases for years, since it adsorbs toxins on it surface. coal picks up almost everything).  When burning coal, what goes up in the air is bad (heat trapped gases) and what remains behind is bad--a sludge of heavy metals, such as arsenic,  stored in land fills and contaminated pools.

As of this posting, USMC and Navy personnel, as well as Air /Sea Rescue elements of the Honolulu Fire Dept and Police Dept., have been searching the waters off the north shore, but to no avail. The 12 missing personnel were all stationed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii - Kaneohe Bay, on the windward side of Oahu.

Per a few witnesses to last night's accident, they reported first hearing a loud explosion and then seeing a very large fireball in the sky off of Haleiwa, with debris raining into the ocean. Thus far, a single unmanned life raft that's believed to be from one of the two helicopters has been found, after it washed up on shore this morning.

Unfortunately, given the thundering 45-foot swells pounding Oahu's north shore today, it appears unlikely that anyone could have survived the crash and the terribly rough seas.

This is the third major accident in the last five years involving Marine Corps aircraft operating in Hawaiian skies.  Last May, two Marines were killed and another 20 injured when their MV-22 Osprey aircraft crashed during a training exercise at Bellows Field in Waimanalo on Oahu. And in March 2011, one Marine was killed and another three injured when their CH-53 helicopter - similar to the two aircraft involved in last night's collision -- crashed into Kaneohe Bay while attempting to return to MCBH in a driving rainstorm.

I wonder if the fed installed listening devices.

I will say this, you have got to be bored out your mind if you have a box of sex toys sitting around, or worse, went out and purchased them just to be an ahole and ship them across the country.

Also think the assumption that an entity like Wall Street is top to bottom 100 percent pure evil, while its not a moderate position per se, I would not also classify it as very progressive because, in my opinion, investment (when done correctly) can have profoundly progressive results even sometimes more so that filtering the money through a beuracracy.  Indeed private enterprise may, no not just may, it is VERY LIKELY, private enterprise funded though Wall Street will be the agency that cures cancer.

The left needs to let this go and focus on Cruz's real problem, his policies.  I get the feeling people are just pushing this because he is an ahole and not cause they care about the actual definition of 'naturalized'.

"Midway through Michael Bay's 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, interrupting its bizarre mix of war pornography and dour isolationist posturing, there's a shoehorned moment of mawkishness. Jack (John Krasinski) is one of the ex-armed forces contractors taking a babysitting job as security to CIA specialists halfway around the world. He's Skyping with his wife and daughters, and if that doesn't telegraph what motivates him to stay alive, he learns he's going to be a father again. This most human moment in the 144-minute film raises the stakes, and does double duty as product placement, set as it is at a McDonald's drive-thru, Happy Meals references flavouring the wholesome family sentiment. 13 Hours is as American as microwaved apple pie.

"Detailing the 2012 attack on a US diplomatic (and, later, espionage) compound in Benghazi, Libya, in all its thudding, bloody brutality, 13 Hours is an extraordinary artifact, a film that makes you long for the subtlety of something like Black Hawk Down. It stars a half dozen interchangeable bearded, buff men with names like Boon, Tig, Rone, Bub and Oz. One looks a bit more like Metallica's James Hetfield than the others and another is black, but the rest are a clone army. They are guns for hire for a secret CIA base run by pansy twerps from Harvard and Yale who barely know how to wipe their own asses without checking a rulebook. The nasally egghead chief (David Costabile) explains to newcomer Jack that flexing too much muscle where the natives can see isn't a good idea. But just outside the window, one of the boys is yawping and dragging enormous blocks of concrete around in his short shorts like this is some kind of Steve Reeves picture. Behind him, a bleating pen of sheep, defenceless to slaughter."

So, if you cheered on Sylvester Stallone as he blew away the Commies in "Rambo: First Blood Part II," you'll probably love Michael Bay's "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi."

Spencer Zwick, the national finance chairman for Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign, said power brokers and financiers are now trying to cozy up to Trump in various ways, such as reaching out through mutual friends in New York's business community.

"A lot of donors are trying to figure their way into Trump's orbit. There is a growing feeling among many that he may be the guy, so people are certainly seeing if they can find a home over there," he said.

In another sign of acceptance of the front-runner, Brett O'Donnell, a longtime debate coach for GOP presidential candidates, said Trump's performance skills have improved notably and have enhanced his reputation among the political class.

It's a two-person race," Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler said. "There is no one in the moderate lane who seems to be emerging. The party doesn't seem to want to elect a moderate. Our argument is, there is only one conservative who has a path."

Some outside strategists are less bullish on Cruz, however. Eric Fehrnstrom, a former Romney adviser, said Trump remains in "total command of the field."

I said a while back if it came down to Trump/Cruz, which I thought it would, my money is on Trump.

Rich Lowery- fear and loathing is becoming resignation and rationalization.
