Anyone would be right to call him out on it. The only reason he's doing so now though, is to distance the Clinton name from Obama so that Hillary won't have to justify Obamacare when she runs. Campaign season's starting early this time. One day this week MSNBC had an hour long special on how we were "ready for Hillary."

She'll have a much harder time distancing herself from Benghazi. That, and her "I dodged sniper bullets in Bosnia" BS, should be enough to shitcan her presidential hopes.

None of them, as after several movies into each franchise, they become a parody of their original selves.

The best horror villain is the ones you never see: A toss-up between the mutating factor in Carpenter's The Thing or the undead-creating "virus" in Romero's "Dead" movies.

Gang up on me some more... accuse me of being an NSA defender... problem is:

A.) I'm not defending the NSA. I've been very vocal in the past about being against their spying, and hypocrisy of certain politicians who defend this bullshit (like that two-faced f*** Obama).

B.) The gov't can't commit treason against itself. If you want to blame anyone, it's the complacent morons who continually vote in those who allow the NSA to watch you 24/7.

(...and let's not kid ourselves here... I don't give a shit if they have the manpower to spy on everyone, they have the capability, and that can't be allowed in a free society)

That said... what Snowden did was treason. A whistleblower tells superiors about wrong-doing... he doesn't air it to the f***ing world. Not only that, he doesn't blackmail an entire government to keep his freedom, like Snowden did with the NOC lists on the laptops he smuggled.

He doesn't deserve a medal. He deserves a bullet to the head. It's a f***ing shame so many stupid people refuse to accept that.

Rewarding treason... f***ing disgraceful.

It's a country of the people, for the people. Was the government not committing treason by spying illegally on it's citizens? The government betrayed it's citizens, that's treason in my books.

Snowden gave the information to the f***ing world, crippled our efforts at counterterrorism by exposing our methods to the people we were f***ing USING them on, and instigated a diplomatic clusterf*** with our allies. How, exactly, is THAT not "treason?"

@OrkHammer007: Walmart could have just enforced the $50 limit that was mentioned in the story. Even if the limit was only good for that particular transaction and didn't block them for the whole day it could have at least slowed them down. Besides, the EBT cards were only malfunctioning for ten hours, the generator went out at 11 AM and by 9 PM the limits were back on. You can't tell me they would have starved to death in that short amount of time.

They could have enforced the $50 limit, but I have a feeling that people responsible for programming that feature skimped on it, expecting the government to keep its shit together and not glitch the account limits out. Physically enforcing that limit (having several managers at the front to visit each register where an EBT payee was and explain that they would only be able to use that card for up to $50) would have been difficult at best... at worst, it could very well have sparked a riot.

I wouldn't say they'd starve. However, Saturday is a relatively busy shopping day for a reason: for many people, it's the only day they have to actually shop for food. If that type person is there to buy their week's worth of groceries, and gets turned away at the door because the store isn't taking their card, it could cause significant hardship... enough to make them turn to another store to do business, and take several of their friends with them. Better to take the short-term financial hit (if there is one) over allowing EBT purchases than the potential long-term hit from unsatisfied/angry customers.

So was Wal-Mart supposed to punish those who were actually honest by denying their cards as well?

They (Wal-Mart, not the thieves) did the right thing by allowing purchases to continue. Let the government sort it... you know, I almost made it through that sentence with a straight face.

Also... is there an investigation into that "glitch?" Seems mighty suspicious that the software just "accidentally" glitched out and pulled the limits.

Damnit... I forgot Creature From the Black Lagoon. Even I get spooked by the Creature... there's something about the black and white that gives the Creature's eyes a very "dead" look. Every time it swam into the picture, I'd get chills.

Oh... and the original The Fly, too.

No love for Night of the Living Dead, The Thing (original black and white), Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, The Mummy or Metropolis? For shame.

If you want a really bad, so-bad-it's-good film, try Plan 9 From Outer Space.

If you don't mind color, I'll recommend The Blob (original version).

When was the last time you heard of a riot like this at a college? This is newsworthy, thanks.

It happens more often then you'd think. Sometimes, you just get the right combination of alcohol and stupid, and BOOM! Instant riot.

Thanks to a similar riot like the TC's, my university has spring break early, to clear Albany of stupid people.
