After World War Two, Spandau prison was used to house convicted war criminals. Once the convictions begin in the United States for the crimes of treason, misprision of treason, and fraud, the United States will need to empty a prison to make room for its new class of inmates.
I propose renaming said prison — The Fletcher Memorial Home (or some rendition thereof) in homage to Roger Waters’ father. The new prison should be heavily populated with live webcams with no place for privacy. NO PLACE. Every aspect of their lives should be available via the internet and should include social media. Such an endeavor would be the first true reality show. We could even do collective voting for what their meals and daily routines should be.
Too young to remember Spandau? Didn’t hear about it in your history classes? Too lazy to read history books from a variety of sources and perspectives?
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), today announced it is issuing an emergency order to ban all Samsung Galaxy Note7 smartphone devices from air transportation in the United States. Individuals who own or possess a Samsung Galaxy Note7 device may not transport the device on their person, in carry-on baggage, or in checked baggage on flights to, from, or within the United States. This prohibition includes all Samsung Galaxy Note7 devices. The phones also cannot be shipped as air cargo. The ban will be effective on Saturday, October 15, 2016, at noon ET . . . .
What air travelers should know
If passengers attempt to travel by air with their Samsung Galaxy Note7 devices, they will be denied boarding.
Passengers who attempt to evade the ban by packing their phone in checked luggage are increasing the risk of a catastrophic incident. Anyone violating the ban may be subject to criminal prosecution in addition to fines.
Passengers currently traveling with Samsung Galaxy Note7 phones should contact Samsung or their wireless carrier immediately to obtain information about how to return their phones and arrange for a refund or a replacement phone. Samsung has provided guidance for customers about refund and replacement options, as well as how to contact wireless carriers, at http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/ [external link]. Samsung is also answering customers’ questions at 1-844-365-6197.
If an airline representative observes that a passenger is in possession of a Samsung Note7 device prior to boarding an aircraft, the air carrier must deny boarding to the passenger unless and until the passenger divests themselves and their carry-on and checked baggage of the Samsung Galaxy Note7 device. Passengers absolutely should not pack the phones in their checked luggage.
If a flight crew member identifies that a passenger is in possession of a Samsung Galaxy Note7 device while the aircraft is in flight, the crew member must instruct the passenger to power off the device, not use or charge the device while aboard the aircraft, protect the device from accidental activation, including disabling any features that may turn on the device, such as alarm clocks, and keep the device on their person and not in the overhead compartment, seat back pocket, nor in any carry-on baggage, for the duration of the flight.
‘My marriage ended because John McCain didn’t want to be 40, he wanted to be 25. You know that happens…it just does.’
Some of McCain’s acquaintances are less forgiving, however. They portray the politician as a self-centered womanizer who effectively abandoned his crippled wife to ‘play the field’. They accuse him of finally settling on Cindy, a former rodeo beauty queen, for financial reasons.
And he’s still a drunk who conspires with other drunks.
These took me all of five minutes to locate. The more time you dwell, the more hypocrisy you will find.

“The only way that Clinton can win is by convincing half of the country that we’re actually in the middle of a Nazi uprising. Now how dangerous is that? I mean think about it. How dangerous is it to convince — and actually effectively convince — half of the country that they’re right in the middle of a Nazi revolution? Like that’s the movie playing in half of the country’s head right now . . . in their movie [in their heads], they are actually actors in a play — or in a movie, let’s call it — in which they’re in the middle of an actual revolution by Nazis.”
