Yes.
I’m wondering if there is such a thing as a future. It all seems to be a endless loop of the past reappearing in different clothes over and over again. If we could only defeat (fill in blank). You know all the problems are due to these (fill in blank). If we don’t (fill in blank) we will (fill in blank).

Today was a shitty day in Islamic History:
1876 - Abdul Hamid II (pictured) became Sultan of the Ottoman Empire when his brother Murad V was deposed.
Abdul Hamid II perverted the at that time new Constitution of the Ottoman Empire, which would have created a state similar to the UK or other western powers, and instead became the 1st Modern Dictatorship.
This is the man who killed the Ottoman Empire.

There’s a Hop On Hop Off bus that covers all the different areas of Boston so you get not just transportation but a tour at the same time. The MIT Museum is fantastic. Harvard has a couple of museums, too. Walking around Cambridge is a blast. The USS Constitution is fun as is the land/water tour. We did that and saw a monster freighter that was carrying something like 14,000 cars. I have never seen anything as big as that before. Faneuil Hall is cool just for the concept of the history. It’s mostly shopping now but, seriously…just think about what happened there. Salem has an awesome tour, too, with an area maintained from the witch trial days. (Skip Plymouth Rock…it’s literally a 4’ rock with a fence around it.) There’s a great walking tour around Boston itself.
Use Yelp or Urban Spoon for food suggestions. Legal Seafood is everywhere but, while good, it’s not the best and doesn’t give you a real local feel.

re: #127 WhatEVs
There’s a Hop On Hop Off bus that covers all the different areas of Boston so you get not just transportation but a tour at the same time. The MIT Museum is fantastic. Harvard has a couple of museums, too. Walking around Cambridge is a blast. The USS Constitution is fun as is the land/water tour. We did that and saw a monster freighter that was carrying something like 14,000 cars. I have never seen anything as big as that before. Faneuil Hall is cool just for the concept of the history. It’s mostly shopping now but, seriously…just think about what happened there. Salem has an awesome tour, too, with an area maintained from the witch trial days. (Skip Plymouth Rock…it’s literally a 4’ rock with a fence around it.) There’s a great walking tour around Boston itself.
Use Yelp or Urban Spoon for food suggestions. Legal Seafood is everywhere but, while good, it’s not the best and doesn’t give you a real local feel.
Good suggestions. I’d add the JFK Museum at UMass Boston as well.

The New England Aquarium was good. Also walked through Quincy Market. Pubs all over the place, but one restaurant that had really good seared scallops was a place called “Grotto”. Other than that all I got to see in the city itself was walking about.
If you’re thinking of touristing further afield in the general area Cape Ann is sort of neat. Visited a museum in Gloucester and also did some walking around there as well. Lots of little parks and reserves if you want to hike and also sea birds up on Plum Island.

Of course there is always the north end if you are looking for great italian food, I like Strega but it is hard to go wrong up there, a bad italian restaurant wouldn’t survive long amongst all the competition.

The Derp is strong in this one…. (From FreeRepugnant). BLUF: Since National Parks isn’t an enumerated power in the Constitution, they are illegal and the states can simply reject and nullify them.
Re-posting here…
Alaska can stop Obama is his tracks. Although Obama’s action would appear to be giving back the original state-centered name instead of the national “McKinley” name, this is really a series of unconstitutional federal acts.
First of all, “national parks” are an unconstitutional federal land-grab from the states, regardless of how benign or benevolent such act may seem at the time. The only valid federal ownership of state land is described in Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 of the U.S. Constitution which says:
“[Congress shall have Power…] to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;—”
National parks were not purchased upon consent by state legislatures for the use of “Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings”, so national parks are unconstitutional federal acts. The states can make state parks according to the consent of the people and legislature of that state.
Secondly, because national parks constitute unconstitutional federal commandeering of state land, the state may reject and nullify such an act. Unconstitutional federal acts are by definition acts of tyranny - it’s just that some acts of federal tyranny begin with a happy face. Sates have the right and the duty to stand against such acts.
Here, Alaska can stop Obama in his tracks. First, Alaska can declare, on sound constitutional principle, that Denali was not purchased upon consent by the Alaskan state legislature for the use of “Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings” and can therefore, take back this land. If Alaska actually paid money to the feds for this land originally (I doubt it) then Alaska can pay back the equivalent or reasonable amount now. Most likely, the feds didn’t pay for Denali in which case Alaska can simply assume control of the land upon notification to the feds (NOT permission from the feds).
Laying that groundwork would make the next step of throwing Obama’s act of renaming Mt. McKinley back in his face an easy one. Most likely Alaska would simply make this a state park. Either way, it is ALASKA, NOT Obama, who can name the mountain whatever it wants.

GILBERT, AZ (KPHO/KTVK) -
Several parents are demanding answers from Congressman Matt Salmon, saying they cannot believe what the lawmaker said to young school children during a visit to a Gilbert school.…
That fear, according to Campbell, was spawned by something Salmon said during a presentation he made Thursday about how bills become laws. The audience? Second- and third-graders at San Tan Charter School.
Campbell said the lesson took a dark turn when it came time to talk about vetoes.
“The congressman chose to give an example of the current situation in Iran, and made some inappropriate comments about ‘Do you know what a nuclear weapon is? Do you know that there are schools that train children your age to be suicide bombers?’” Campbell said.
Dude, what the fuck?

It’s actually being done by the Secretary of the Interior. Who was granted powers to act if the Committee on Geographical Names was slow in acting on a request. Alaska has been requesting a name change by the committee since 1975 - but have no acted since they have a protocol to not make a change while there is active legislation concerning the place in question.

The Derp is strong in this one…. (From FreeRepugnant). BLUF: Since National Parks isn’t an enumerated power in the Constitution, they are illegal and the states can simply reject and nullify them.
It’s the Bundy Ranch bullshit all over again. The Western States were admitted to the Union under strict agreements to cede varying amounts of undeveloped land to the Federal Government. The territorial legislatures made these deals in order to gain admittance to the Union, so no purchase from an existing state was necessary.

OT, but this virtually guarantees a new thread in the next ten minutes. I’m at Disney World, and I just realized that they have grills for the guests to use. It was so awesome, partly because I don’t get to grill up north (cause I’m in a condo and they have rules), and the other neat thing is that minutes after I started grilling, all kinds of people came out to find out what was cooking. (The big house is downwind!) I swear a half dozen people got in their cars and headed for the supermarket. I think these grills are going to get a workout the next couple days. Sure enough, as I type, somebody’s lighting up.

I’ve loved liver sausage since a small child, a delicious treat on fresh baked white loaf toasted with butter and lettuce. Later, I meet my future best friend in high school and we go over to his house to hang out. He’s off doing something or other and I raid his fridge which had a nice log of liver sausage so I made a sandwich. He comes back, finds me eating it and immediately starts gagging and running for the toilet. He had only ever seen his dogs eat it as a means to feed them their medicine. I was laughing my ass off mocking him, “mmm this sandwich is so good, etc.”. His folks continued stocking it so I ate it for the next 8 years or so.

European Homemade Sausage Shop
40 years ago Frank Jakubczak created an old world European experience in a building built in 1905 with old world charm of its own. Updates have certainly been made over the years; however, you can still find the original hanging racks and walk-in cooler. And the wonderful aroma…the unmistakable aroma of hickory fills the air as you walk into Frank’s shop.
The Shop has been managed by Frank and his family for the last 40 years and follows The Old World Way which includes preparing dry cured meats and creating the finest sausages with solid hand trimmed portions of pork, expensive spices and real hickory smoke.

Probably after they made it they polled everybody who didn’t vomit it immediately to ask what was the closest thing it tasted like. The overwhelming choice: “Not sure. Probably chicken”
The National Park Unit is Denali National Park. Not Mt. McKinley National Park. They’ve been trying to rename it Denali for decades. Efforts to rename go back almost to the moment when it was changed to McKinley.
Apparently the only ones who really want to see this remain McKinley are some Ohio politicians, and a bunch of Twitterati who are pushing a vast right wing outrageous outrage 11TY! over this.
You know what - you can still call it Mt McKinley.
The same way that everyone in NYC still calls the 59th Street Bridge the Queensboro Bridge, and not the Ed Koch bridge. Or that Brooklyn Battery Tunnel is the Hugh Carey Tunnel or the Joe DiMaggio Highway and not the West Side Highway. Or the Triboro Bridge is the RFK Bridge.

It’s the Bundy Ranch bullshit all over again. The Western States were admitted to the Union under strict agreements to cede varying amounts of undeveloped land to the Federal Government.

Yep, as I assumed, it’s in Alaska’s State Constitution. Article 8, Section 6:
§ 6. State Public Domain
Lands and interests therein, including submerged and tidal lands, possessed or acquired by the State, and not used or intended exclusively for governmental purposes, constitute the state public domain. The legislature shall provide for the selection of lands granted to the State by the United States, and for the administration of the state public domain.
Basically the Alaska State government only owns those lands granted to it by the federal government. Just like Nevada and the other western States it didn’t come into the Union in full control of all the property within its borders, this is why a map of federally owned land looks like this:

How to Name a Mountain After Ronald Reagan
MOLLY BALL FEB 8, 2013If this activist gets his way, there will be a Mount Reagan in Nevada, possibly as soon as next year. But it hasn’t been easy.
The initiative is part of the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project, a push to memorialize the former president as widely as possible that’s backed by anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist, who is an old friend of Muth’s. The sometimes-controversial effort has gotten more than 3,000 landmarks named for the Gipper, including highways, buildings, and schools — but never a mountain. While 12 other presidents have U.S. mountains named for them, and FDR has a peak in Canada, getting approval for Mount Reagan has proved unexpectedly difficult.
