[Ah yes, the filibuster debates are again in season.  Republicans are being admonished by the eternally innocent progressives about messing with the filibuster, as if that were a tradition brought down on the tablets and one that has remained unblemished since then.  It would be utterly       unconsciounable to bring up the recent history of who exercised the 'nuclear option' and under what conditions they pulled the trigger.  In the meanwhile, we are on our way home and thank RR readers for keeping the sandboxes exercised and the comment candles burning.  gjr]

    re: BarryP @ 7:45
    I believe that Google saw similar results. From a quick read, it seems like the only upshot is that natural languages aren’t very compact (no doubt they are filled with error correction notions) and aren’t precise. Eventually, the inter-computer speaking would be indistinguishable from random data.
    What’ll be interesting is when the passed concepts are truly alien. Dunno how you detect that being alien and all.

    “What a dismal failure our two party system is”
    A serious point. The Trump administration has turned out to be the first successful third party since 1860. That’s the actual problem here. The two dominant parties want no part of an interloper. He’ll survive if he manages to build a philosophy and stand-alone organization.
    If you want to carry water for the status quo, so be it. The fact that the status quo includes the overthrowers of the Iranian state in order to install the Shah is an amusing thing, but I always figured Green Libertarians were a CIA front organization.

    Trump continues to slide – He’s still El Presidente, Paul.
    Word is… – from whom, Paul?

    “Having a blast – so Paul, you enjoy watching the poor and minorities suffer? ”
    I very much doubt that that’s the case. Most likely the Green Libertarians build an internal hierarchy of who to give succor to, and poor,minority US citizens aren’t in the highest tier. Once the other groups get their fill, citizenship, or membership in the military, only then the traditionally downtrodden can have a piece of cake.

    Pure awesomeness is jon Dozer has now grown rather sweet on Scenes. He’s playing the field. I have been jolted by a lot worse than “them”. Wonder if he ever got the lampshade off Aunt Sybil’s head yet? I am sure he will be coming around after a Mommie passes out and he can sneak….er…..quietly stumble and crawl by Mommie’s bed and hop on her computer and a few long pulls On the jug. Then he will let loose and have them fingers dance like Fred Austier. Opps. More like a one legged gal in a can-can dance down at the local saloon. The anticipation is killing me.
    Now, wear did we leave off? Oh yeah. I was reenacting Grass Valley’s favorite son, Ambassador Steven’s final moments of life on the backside of Mr. Dozer spread across Chris’s gravesite after he called Benghazi “administrative error.” Boy he sure was relieved that My Gal came out of that hearing unscathed. I just felt the need to drive it home.

    Not for long fishy! Perhaps if you righties didn’t rely on fake news (breitbart, daily caller, NY Post, etc) as your sources of information you might just realize that you are backing a mentally incompetent sociopath that is taking the country down the drain and possibly the planet with him. Of course, you would have to admit to yourself that your judgement was wrong. Based on your blogging I would say that is something you aren’t willing to do. So lying about everything is just fine, as long as it is your guy who does the lies. Just what was “O” lying about all the time Walt? I don’t recall the constant everyday lies from “O” like Trump. Please give me some documented examples or I am just going to think you are just making it up, you know fake news. Besides, Trumps is the liar in chief currently in the WhiteHouse, not Obama. So the “Obama did it too” argument is just a bullcrap excuse that holds no water.
