The code on dress codes

Some students learn outside college.
Like the group of interns who thought a petition was the way to get their company to alter the dress code.
And instead got fired.
It's good to learn early that the boss is the boss.
Policies are there for a reason, and the reason best be understood before talking about changing them.
Even if they are silly.
At my newspaper job once, the publisher decided we didn't look professional enough out in the public.
So he said all newsroom employees needed to wear a tie at work.
Even those who worked weekend nights in a locked office, where the public couldn't see.
We survived until a change came.
One guy found an ugly 70s tie to keep in his desk when needed.
We dealt with the policy and learned to make it work.

Due process comes due

Legal Insurrection gives a longdue long at Marilyn Mosby's troubles.
Mosby now finds herself on the horns of a dilemma.  One the one hand, the growing cries against these irrational and politically motivated prosecutions would seem to call for the currently scheduled four trials to be abandoned. On the other hand, doing so could worsen Mosby’s position with respect to the civil suits the officers have brought against her.

We've known Hillary Clinton is a liar, and have for years.
Nothing new about that truth.

Not the Brexit they wanted

Iceland 2
England 1
Guess this is why they expanded the Euro field to 24 this year.

Hit the road, Union Jack

Will the EU sing this to Great Britain this week, or give them just a little more time?

Changing voter registration is just so hard

The whines of anti-Brexit people continue as they realize they lost.
And take their anger out on their fellow British citizens.
This guy doesn't like where his parents live - his excuse why he didn't vote Thursday.
It was for psychological reasons, as much as anything else, that I didn’t register to vote in Alresford. Registering to vote here would have felt like actually moving here. I registered in Essex, where I live during the academic year, for the recent local elections, so I just thought I’d retain that registration for the Brexit referendum. I also don’t like filling in forms, which is why I didn’t register to vote by mail or look into how I’d amend my registration.
Look who doesn't like change or following the government rules.
He has more in common with Brexit voters than he thinks.

Today in Euro 2016

Right now, Wales is playing Northern Ireland in the round of 16.
Who will leave?

Facebook quote of the week

Q. What did Britain say to the rest of Europe?
A. "See EU later!"

Brexit knowledge

Ace's overnight thread gives you plenty of British information, like why they still drive on the left side of the road.
Taking the left hand side in traffic is a habit that goes back hundreds of years, possibly as far as the ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Romans, but certainly to an era when people habitually carried swords when traveling. As around 85-90% of humans are right-handed, passing on the right-hand side would leave carriage and cart drivers more open to attack from people coming the other way. Knights with lances, squires with knives, peasants with pitchforks, everyone had to be ready for a dust-up at a moment’s notice, and that meant keeping to the left so you could get a good swing at your assailants. Granted, this did mean they were more vulnerable to be attacked from the pavement, but no system is entirely foolproof.

Brexit in Facebook terms

United Kingdom has changed its status to divorced.
European Union has changed its status to "It's complicated."

Follow the Clinton money

A mailer for Hillary Clinton arrived in the mail today.
She boasts how she didn't go to a big law firm to make big money out of law school, but instead decided to help children.
As Donald Trump reminded us, she made up for lost time in the last few years.
She talks about caring for children. We all know her love is money.

If you don't like me, this is what you get

If you don't like Donald Trump, that's okay.
He let you know what you're getting if Hillary Clinton becomes president.

Fundraising vs. remote control

You hear the wailing about Donald Trump's lackluster fundraising.
How can he compete against Hillary's team and all their TV ads.
I've seen the start of a few Hillary commercials during the evening news.
I never see the end.
I grab the remote and change to another channel.
I may return to that station later.
Hillary and her team may be enriching TV stations, but are they reaching voters?
Or are voters reaching for their remotes as well?

Give baseball some style

Thanks to an April rainout, the Baltimore Orioles had to make a one-day trip to Texas Monday.
The travel from Baltimore must have gotten to announcer Jim Palmer. He began wondering why the umpires doesn't dance like Leslie Nielsen.
Palmer had a bit part in the film, and it obviously had an impact on him.

Open to persuasion

Scott Adams tries his hand again at using persuasive techniques to change the minds of people who dislike Donald Trump.
Including those who dislike his talk about banning Muslims.
For context, point out that Islam is unique among religions in that it includes an order from God that Muslims should overthrow any government that is not compatible with Islam. Moderate Muslims around the world ignore that part of the religion, but refugees are coming from places where it is considered mandatory.

Hello, I must be going

Five days until the Brexit vote.
Will it be great or terrible for Great Britain?
In a column mentioning all the woes that come from a vote to leave, there's one with major reasons why leaving is a good idea.
For Europe, Britain’s departure would be like a first brick pulled from a flimsy wall. The union is already fragile. Its mismanagement of the eurozone debt crisis after the 2008 crash was followed by its mismanagement of the refugee crisis. No wonder a recent Pew Research Center poll showed plummeting approval ratings for the union in key European countries.
Reason to stay?
Hitler might rise again in Europe.
We'll see in a few days.

Saturday song

Breaking up to an upbeat song is definitely hard to do.

Facebook quote of the week

Dreamt of black cloud tornados. The entire dream I was looking for cover. Thankfully I found that long tube slide that dropped me in a parking garage.

Gun control squirrel

Democrats and the media have been chasing squirrels all week - gun control and gay rights are the lessons they want to push after the Orlando terror attack.

The killer was a registered Democrat. The source of his hatred was not the Christian Coalition but radical Islamism. He stated this motivation clearly during the shooting and for months prior. He reportedly also considered attacking that notorious gay hangout Disney World.When you're chasing the wrong squirrels, you're making the next attack easier to pull off.

Focus on radical islam, not those squirrels.

Stopping potential radical Islamic terrorists

Did Democrats pump up the volume on gun control once President Obama had to utter the phrase "radical Islam" on Tuesday?
If your gun control is focused on stopping potential radical Islamic terrorists from getting guns, more power to you.
If your gun control is against the gun, the machinery, ask yourself "Why?"
Some guns can protect against radical Islamic terrorists.
People don't want to die at the hands of radical Islamic terrorists.
Especially if they know how to protect themselves.

NRA - a well-regulated militia

Friends of gun control try to make "well-regulated militia" from the second amendment into only a state function.
Why can't the NRA be considered an independent "well-regulated militia."
Doesn't the state need all the help it can get?
They join together across state lines for the nation's welfare, but most gatherings are local.
They emphasize gun safety and NRA rules.
They aren't the people doing the shooting and killing at these recent attacks.
They want to protect themselves and their families.
The job of a well-regulated militia.

Prepare for more bad things

PJ Media's Jack Dunphy warns of future terrorists attacks - and how police will learn from Orlando.
Like the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School, the Orlando shooting will be studied by law enforcement officers in a search for a more effective response. Recall that prior to Columbine, police tactics to address an “active shooter” had not been widely considered.  Officers responding to the school followed the standard protocol for barricaded suspects, which was to contain them and await the arrival of a SWAT team. Today, active-shooter protocols dictate that responding officers form teams of four or five and make entry as soon as possible, bypassing downed victims if necessary to seek out and neutralize the threat.

Coming attractions

Dustbury found someone who found Dory.
Hope the movie doesn't end like that.

Three hours

Would guns in the hands of patrons made a difference in Orlando?
Democrats say no.
It was dark and confusing.
People might get caught in the crossfire.
But it was three hours between the start of the siege and it's end.
How many people shot at 2 a.m. could have been saved if they got attention quicker?
Would fewer shots have been fired by the bad guy if a good guy with a gun was there?
It's like the parenting commercials.
You don't need to be a perfect shot.
You just need to be there.

Do you trust Trump?

Donald Trump sent out a tweet this morning, about meeting with the NRA about the no-fly and watch lists.
Did he say they should reverse their position?
No.
He said he'd talk.
He spoke the magic words that liberals think will solve the problem.
Which it won't.
But he's open to the differing viewpoints - unlike President Obama.
Neither Obama nor Clinton could meet with the NRA on this issue.
If you don't trust Trump, it's a bad sign.
If you trust Trump, he's building his negotiating stance.

Don't let a crook off the hook

Diamond and Silk get the crowd fired up before the latest Trump rally.

Words bring focus

Donald Trump got his birthday present - President Obama finally said "radical Islam."
And what difference does it make?
Focus.
If an Islamic man kills and you talk gun control instead, you're fighting an extra battle.
Instead of working together to fight the problem that's there, the battle about why the attack happened becomes the focus.
And it's more likely another attack will happen.

Well Dunn

Singer Ronnie Dunn wasn't impressed by President Obama's Sunday insights into the Orlando shooting.

On to Omaha

Virginia may not have advanced to defend its College World Series title.
But I have a new team to root for - Coastal Carolina.
Been a fan for 30 years - since it was the closest college to my newspaper job in Georgetown.
Let's go, Chants.

If by we you mean yourself and Hillary

John Podhoretz pans the afternoon statement by President Obama.
Here again, and horribly, we have an unmistakable indication that Obama finds it astonishingly easy to divorce himself from a reality he doesn’t like — the reality of the Islamist terror war against the United States and how it is moving to our shores in the form of lone-wolf attacks.
He called it “terror,” which it is. But using the word “terror” without a limiting and defining adjective is like a doctor calling a disease “cancer” without making note of the affected area of the body — because if he doesn’t know where the cancer is and what form it takes, he cannot attack it effectively and seek to extirpate it.

Wait

There's so many more twists and turns to the Orlando shooting investigation.
The first 12 hours bring talk about gun control.
Time tells why that's not the answer.
And more things will be learned as more time passes.

I'm loving this

Two robbers in France picked the wrong McDonalds to rob - the one where French Special Forces were eating.
Edwige Roux-Morizot, the local prosecutor, said: “During the hold-up, the gendarmes didn’t do anything. It was out of the question to use their weapons, as this would have created difficulties and could have placed many people’s lives in danger.”
The highly trained and battle-hardened officers were able to pounce on the first of the two robbers when he tripped on his way of the outlet without firing a shot.
However, they were forced to shoot the other in the abdomen when he pointed a gun at them as he sought to make his getaway with the cash, ignoring their orders to drop his weapon.

From the pointy-haired writer

Salon's swing and a miss piece - Scott Adams doesn't call it a hit piece - examines the Dilbert creator's posts on the Trump run.
Sunday's endorsement of Hillary by Adams draws the most ire.
Obviously, this is not a Clinton endorsement. The purpose of this is to try to convince people that Clinton is some kind of dangerous fascist demagogue who will send her brownshirts into the street to force people into compliance with violence. This opinion, of course, has nothing to do with the real life Clinton and everything to do with Adams’s fantasy version of her.

Remember "She's wise er?"

The battle between Donald Trump and the judge in the Trump University case reminds me of a classic photoshop a friend created for the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.
Trump's experience with lawsuits ought to give him good insight when a judge might not be impartial.

Mike's dirty truth

Guess Mike Rowe learned some of this stuff at Towson State.
He's passionate about not letting being passion determine your employment life.
It’s both healthy and smart to have pursuits you enjoy, but it’s a rarity those passions prove profitable. Rowe’s advice is probably not what every aspiring graduate wants to hear, but sometimes what we want and what we need are two different things entirely.

A little help for my friend

At Sunday's Orioles game, the team will be helping the Gorman family raise awareness of Multiple System Atrophy.
The man at the center of the issue helped me greatly as a new college graduate in 1984.
At a church meeting, Jim Gorman said he had a brother at a South Carolina newspaper.
I was looking for that first job out of college.
Six weeks later, I was in South Carolina, starting my sports journalism career.
Jim helped me, and hopefully many will be helping Jim Sunday.

The new jobs report came out today - fewer jobs added than expected and more people out of the workforce.
Jobs increased by only 38,000, about 120,000 below expectations. In addition, the number of jobs created in April and March was also revised downwards by 59,000. As Gordon notes, this means that over the last three months, job creation has averaged about 116,000 jobs per month; a notable slowdown from the 12-month average of 219,000 jobs.
