Consumer Electronics
Spending some time in tech support hell, it occurs to me that the one set of consumer electronics devices that seem to mostly work and last longer than a couple of years are TVs, even the newfangled ones. Am I wrong?
GetOffMyLawnism
I know I frequently return to this subject, but I really don't get it. I don't have kids. I'd think I should be the kind of person the hates The Kids Today. People generally have kids. And most of them seem to hate The Kids Today. Like really hate them. We go through this in every generation, but it's usually just a trendy "slackers" kind of thing which fades after a couple of months. I see so much hate directed at 20somethings. The 20somethings I'm exposed to (not a representative sample, of course) are about 50X smarter than anyone I ever knew at that age (including the man in the mirror). I don't get it.
Both Sides
It'll be interesting to see if the Republican demand that Obama not be allowed to appoint anyone to the Supreme Court because he only has >11 months left of the second term he was elected to will just be treated as the new normal.
The "media" might be liberal in some ways (though even in those ways not nearly as much as their reputation), but ever since I've been paying attention, when the Republicans kick the soccer ball, they chase it.

Both Sides
The press corps that spent 25 years or so blaming all of the ills of Washington, the fact that it all got so mean and tipnronnie didn't go for drinks anymore, on the "Borking" of Bork (who was quite the lunatic), will treat as perfectly normal the claim that a president with almost 11 months left in his term has no right to nominate anyone to the Supreme Court.
The title of this post is wrong, for reasons I leave as an exercise to the readers.

Still Sitting
Bertha's still taking a nap.
On Monday, Gov. Inslee will discuss Bertha's safety, a recent sinkhole, and other issues. But for the time being, the governor is holding firm that Bertha isn't going anywhere.
"I don't think it's good management to allow a tunneling project to go under the fragile viaduct without assuring the safety of its condition," Inslee said. "I don't think that's bad management. I think that's darn good management that we are pursuing on a most difficult problem — where the contractor has not performed."
