Train carrying Boeing fuselages derailed in Montana

Six photos at krem.com



Nineteen cars westbound derailed near Superior Montana. Ended up in Clark Fork River. Nobody was hurt. Story posted yesterday, tracks expected to be reopened almost immediately, today, in fact.

That's a shame, at least they can recycle the aluminum.

That's almost as amazing as the http://missoulian.com/news/state-and-regional/giant-toilet-paper-rolls-remain-in-lochsa-after-truck-accident/article_73d5bc5e-b284-11e0-b309-001cc4c002e0.html

yeah, I know, why haven't you figured out how to just type a link, huh, Synova?

Did the train hit a ferry full of passenger cars and sink it during the crash? You know, for a transportation full house?

Off topic, but you've got to read this NYT editorial to believe it.

The problem with the IRS isn't that it conducted a vendetta against Obama's political opponents.

No.

The problem is that the IRS needs more money!

deborah said...

I hate it when that happens.

Synova, make a note of this. After a while you will have it memorized:



Insert the link of the article in between the apostrophes and the words you want to show as the link, like toilet paper accident in between the the touching arrows.

Beached fuselages.

deborah said...

Hmmm it would not print:



Okay, so type this out without any space between the apostrophes or between the arrows pointing at each other.

Then insert the link of the article between the apostrophes and the words you want to show as the link, like toilet paper accident in between the the touching arrows.

KCFleming said...

Now that's how you rape the environment.

deborah said...

Wow, it still would not print. Type this with no spaces except between a and href.

< a href = ' ' > < / a >

Thin insert the link of the article in between the apostrophes and the words you want to show as the link, like toilet paper accident in between the the touching arrows.

deborah said...

lol Pogo, that's awful.

Synova once you learn to do html links, then you can do stuff like bold face and italics using the same logic. It's really just the < snark on >
< /snark off > logic that you sometimes see.

Very creative comment, TT.

Very creative comment, TT.

I was going to say that... but I had to hold back on account my position as chief execute of this here blog ;)

I can't show favoritism.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

This html basic tells you all you need to start Synova.

Jolly good viddy, Lem!

Chip Ahoy said...

Ha ha ha. They're talking about my hotdogs in French.

My lowly hotdogs. My cop out hotdogs. I ate four of them *hangs head in shame* *pops head back up* and that suites me for a whole year.

But they're so nice. Want to know what they're saying about me? Okay, goes like this:

Look at this site, it's in English but with pictures we understand the technique!

Wow, strawberry shortcake is what I wanted. I look forward to eating a good hotdog.

This is sensible this way. Personally, I do not eat a lot of hotdogs. But how these hot dogs taste!

Super give us news of your hotdog!

Absolutely, I'll come here to show you in two weeks.

Thanks for these two sites. It is very interesting.

bienvenus, les mecs au Canada, you're welcome, Dudes. I was thinking they taste a bit of sodium nitrate, but you're still very welcome.

Coincidently it was a 'hot and steamy buns' post, exactly a year ago tomorrow, that crashed to earth making possible the propagation of the species.

deborah said...

Lem, brilliant.

Chip, I took a quarter of French in the Eighties, got a B, thank you very much. My teacher, a young woman, had the sweetest accent. I fear that even if I were to master the language I'd never have an appropriate accent.

Historians will differ. I trace the difficulties back to this post, nearly two weeks earlier.

The Dude said...

How about a warning, CL. NSFW or something.

I must disagree with my esteemed colleague, chick.

I believe the gauntlet was thrown on July 1 with the Hippo Pool post. I saw it as a veiled insult to her conservative commenters.

Then see on July 7 this:

"Remember that video the other day about the hippo enclosure, the one where each fresh pool immediately became the hippo toilet?"

Baby fuselages, emerging from the river... Look at em go!

Leland said...

I think the issue began with the State of Texas abortion debate with Wendy Davis. It lead to the Hippo post, and then it became open sniping until she realized her arguments were weak resulting in the best argument left, "STFU".

deborah said...

Leland, now you are going to make me search. I think it was the Obama speech never aired where he said whites were taking advantage, etc., and Althouse said conservatives came across as 'ugly.'

The next post, IIRC, was about the Taliban that shot the young Afgnani(?) girl on the school bus who was making a stand for liberty. IMO Althouse was surreptitiously equating conservatives with the Taliban.

*searching*

MamaM said...

Regardless of which post it was, the event was coming to a head and the Blog Train derailed. Like Blue Fuselages, the Sploodge Stooges of Althouse were released from their bed of comfort to enter the river of life elsewhere.

Root of ejaculate:
Latin eiaculatus, past participle of eiaculari "to throw out, shoot out," from ex- "out" + iaculari "to throw, hurl, cast, dart," from iaculum "javelin, dart," from iacere "to throw". Only other surviving sense is "exclaim suddenly"

Leland said...

Deborah, I wouldn't put that much into it. I don't think she's worth it. I thought maybe time would pass, but her comment about a month ago, when liberal media was purposely misreporting the John Doe cases, that she didn't dare say anything for fear of being consider one of them. Them being conservatives. In her mind, being honest means being part of a political group for which she prefers not to belong.

Leland, I'm 1 for 3:

I was correct about the the speech post following the Obama speech post (scroll to bottom of Taliban post and hit 'newer post.') I thought it was last year, but it was 2012. Finally, I'm wrong in thinking she giving a message...I must have been in a really negative mood after the speech thread, etc.

But here's the money quote from her in the speech thread:

"Conservatives need to learn how to talk to moderates and liberals, and they especially need to learn how to not feel repulsive and toxic to us.

I'm trying to help conservatives with their communications problems, and the pushback I received confirmed my opinion that they have a problem."

(I don't read her much and missed the John Doe thing...)

MamaM said...

Why bringing her over here in quote?

The train wreck happened, 19 cars derailed and the fuselages in transit rolled down the hill and into the drink.

One year later the new blog started as an emergency response is going strong.

Congratulations, Lem!

Leland said...

Deborah,

My mistake about the John Doe issue. I thought it was about it, but in terms of media misreporting, the timing and activity were pretty much the same. It was about George Will, here's the link to Instapundit.

I think she confuses toxic for cooties or something.

deborah said...

Thanks, Leland.

MamaM said...

...basically like Evil Amish, then.

That was a succinct summation.

With shunning bringing to mind the first post and photo of Lem's Learning Levity, published one year ago today, when one door closed and another opened; with Lem coming in 2nd to say "I never said I knew what I was doing" followed by a year of figuring it out how to do it and keep the door open.

Congratulations, Lem. And thanks for a #1 effort. The fruit is enjoyed.
