That's helpful advice!

Dead Legend

blood clots are serious shit

Fyndir

I was in white stockings all day Monday (and a good chunk of Tuesday) to prevent them.

Well, at least, that's what the nurse SAID they were for, I still suspect she just thought I'd look pretty in them.

I read an article the other day about a dude who had been unemployed for a long time, spending a lot of hours on his computer and such, and he was walking to a job interview when he threw a blood clot and died

Dead Legend

my dad got one after being in vegas and playing poker for hours on end, nearly killed him

Man I jumped to the end of the last thread hoping to see someone get banned

In other news: HERE COMES A NEW (old) CHALLENGER!

"Joe the Plumber" is plunging into politics because he thinks it's about time America had a few mechanics, bricklayers and, yes, plumbers in Congress.

...

"Being a politician is as good as being a weatherman," Wurzelbacher said at a Tea Party rally last year in Nevada. "You don't have to be right, you don't have to do your job well, but you'll still have a job."

He said on Tuesday that he decided to enter politics as a Republican because he figured he'd have no chance to win as an independent.

"Is it the lesser of two evils?" he said. "I don't know."

Doobh

Oh, good. Thought Tube pulled the rug out from under us, though not a whole lot was actually being accomplished from the conversation.

FirmSkater

Joe The Plumber announced he was running for Congress at the other location of the restaurant I work for (there are only two locations)! I used to work there, too, but moved to the better one when it opened.

One of the managers from there came by tonight to get a hotdog bun for him to sign.

Everything about this is wrong

so that's why he was a contractor

also, he appears to know nothing about weather or weathermen

Joe "Look, I just want a job. Can you help me out?" Wurzelbacher for congress!

Welp, Occupy Oakland got busted up early this morning. They tried protesting outside of the main library this afternoon and now it's turned into a standoff with police at the original location.

FirmSkater

He's running against Marcy Kaptur

If Joe the Plumber wins Marcy Kaptur's seat I will be pretty furious.

Grey Ghost

His name isn't even Joe!

MetroidZoid

How many congressman have won their seats based on a campaign of "I only have to do this job so-so ..."

M.D.

Could someone explain the tea party thing about them telling folks not to hire anyone?

Fugitive

An everyman Washington outsider, that's what we need!

It's. So. Simple!

thedude_frombaywatch

Oakland was crazy just a couple hours ago. People there got tear gassed. Only because they started shooting paintballs at police trying to break up the crowds

godmode

Well...shooting anything at the police is generally a bad idea...

TheLawinator

Don't shoot or launch things at the police. Don't do that.

stimtokolos

Yeahhh, I'm sure they might think that through next time. Maybe.

L|ama

lets say im slightly sceptical of that, and even then don't really see how shooting a mostly peaceful crowd with rubber bullets is either going to help the situation or be an appropriate response

this vids cool: http://www.ktvu.com/video/29587714/index.html

esp the very end, cop throwing a flashbang into a crowd of people that went back to help someone on the ground

Enc

Orlando police stole the occupy groups stuff in plain sight.
Screaming "robble robble robble" as they floundered away.

L|ama

and OPD are claiming those are M80s thrown by the crowd. Huh. I mean I would expect flashbangs to be flashier and bangier, but that's hard to tell from camera footage and it really looks a lot like it comes from the cops. There's also this for their claims of not using rubber bullets:

but technically it's some other sort of round (but functionally the same) and well it's a pic on twitter of a guy's hands, not exactly airtight evidence

If I was still living in California I would've been hit by that shit. A friend of mine mentioned on FB that he was going to the thing in Oakland.

This morning's news is telling the right message, I think. Police brutality is the word of the day.

If I didn't have a job in finance and wasn't trying to build a family, you can bet I'd be on the front lines. But I do, and I am, so I can't. But I will comment the fuck out of this thing.
