Barneys opens a high-end cannabis shop for luxe bongs, vape pens
[Photo: courtesy of Barneys]
By Rina Raphael 2 minute Read
Everyone is getting in on the booming cannabis industry, and this includes retailers you wouldn't automatically associate with weed. On Tuesday, luxury retailer Barneys became the latest player in the competitive landscape with a new shop called, of course, The High End.
The Beverly Hills-based in-house boutique will feature a collection of pricey accessories and CBD-infused wellness products, like a $950 bong and $1,475 weed grinder. The retailer partnered with luxe cannabis brand Beboe, which will provide an assortment of $75 THC vape pens and calming CBD oils.
Rounding out the assortment will be "rare and exclusive items" made exclusively for Barneys, like gold rolling papers from Shine, fancy horn lighters from Lorenzi Milano, leather ashtrays from Giobagnara, storage boxes from Ginger Brown, and custom-made blown glass pipes from Caleb Siemmon. Customers can also purchase jewelry and accessories, including sterling silver pastille dispensers and grinder necklaces.
"Barneys New York has always been at the forefront of shifts in culture and lifestyle, and cannabis is no exception," Daniella Vitale, chief executive officer and president, Barneys New York, said in a press statement. "Many of our customers have made cannabis a part of their lifestyle, and The High End caters to their needs with extraordinary products and service they experience in every facet of Barneys New York."
Opening in March, The High End will be located on the fifth floor of Barneys New York Beverly Hills. As Fast Company reported, many traditional retailers today look to attract consumers with new experiences that capitalize on the $4.2 trillion wellness industry. Barneys joins Sephora and others that now carry soothing cannabis products that appeal to new demographics.
It's an increasingly common retail strategy: Millennials, who put a premium on health and experiences, spend less on clothing and more on products that could potentially affect their overall well-being. Stores therefore target multiple facets of their lives, which now includes feel-good pursuits and products.
"As wellness brands gain market share in the overall market, retailers are both catering to consumer demand and attempting to bring more excitement to their floors to attract new consumers," Larissa Jensen, beauty industry analyst at The NPD Group, previously said in an email.
The High End joins a small but growing circle of upscale cannabis stores, such as MedMen, a chain of design-forward cannabis shops that aims to mainstream marijuana. (It was dubbed "the Starbucks of weed" by Fast Company.)
As more states legalize marijuana, the industry is expected to grow to $50 billion in 2026 from $6 billion last year, according to a recent report from Cowen & Co. That leaves much room for newcomers like Barneys, as well as novel ways to experience the plant: Vox reports that cannabis restaurants, cafes, and consumption lounges are now on the horizon. That might just be phase two for retailers.

At first light in Ploce the sound of a horn announced the arrival of a cargo ship. Everyone was summoned to the port to begin a very long day, loading the ship and ensuring everything was battened down ready for it to continue on its journey.
Ploce - Sept. 3 was the scheduled day for the German cargo ship to arrive to take vehicles and empty containers back to Germany as part of the ongoing logistical flow of supplies to and from the operational theatre. In a previous meeting of French, Italian and German chiefs, the responsibilities and orders had been finalised, so that on the day everyone knew exactly what needed to be done and in what order it needed to happen. On the day most people wore overalls. The colour of the hard hats denoted the chiefs and workers from the observers, so that the commands were taken from the right person. The day would have to run like clockwork in order to load the 30 containers, 30 vehicles and 19 trailers within the allotted time. A final meeting briefed all the chiefs on the order of the loading and the safety procedures for the day.
The vehicles had been brought from Rajlovac over the previous weeks and stored ready to load; the containers had been put in a storage area ready to bring forward to the dockside when needed. Before any loading could start the ship had to be prepared. The deck plates of the upper and middle decks had to be lifted individually by crane. Each piece weighing 25 tonnes was carefully lifted and stacked so that the lower deck could be filled first. This was the responsibility of the ship's own crew who knew exactly where each piece should go. Everyone else stood clear.
Maj. Jorg Botta from the German contingent briefed his team, and the transit platoon ensured each vehicle was logged and checked before loading. As soon as the stern door was open and the ramp laid to the dockside, the German disinfectant team built a platform of mats soaked in strong disinfectant. A team of soldiers wearing protective clothing and respirators were armed with spray guns ready to douse all the vehicle wheels before they entered the cargo holding area. Once they were set up, the ambulances, trucks, trailers, and minibuses were driven over the mats, sprayed, and carefully guided inside the ship. They were slowly driven down an internal ramp into the lower deck of the ship; space was tight with only a few centimetres between vehicles so careful precise driving was essential. Meanwhile, more vehicles were brought alongside the ship to be loaded mid ship by crane. Careful positioning of the vehicles in their correct order was necessary to ensure a smooth lift into the ship.
The French team from the BATALAT (Bataillon de l'aviation légère de l'armée de terre, Army Aviation Battalion) formed the port task platoon, and were co-ordinating the multi-national operation. It was their responsibility to guide the vehicles onboard and place in position to fill the space to maximum capacity. They then lashed each vehicle down to prevent any damage to the cargo. The soldiers clambered over and under vehicles to reach all of them taking with them the chains they required. Once secure, the metal middle deck pieces were then replaced by crane and it was on to the next phase.
The French chief working alongside the Germans ensured that each vehicle to be lifted onboard was strapped securely. As the crane took the weight, the load was guided by soldiers with ropes until it cleared the side of the ship. It was then up to the crane operator to place the vehicles safely inside. Everyone stood clear as one after another the trucks and trailers disappeared into the hull of the ship.
The Italians from the Reparto Logistico Contingenza (RELOCO), the logistic branch of the Italian contingent concentrated on the containers. Under the supervision of Capt. Luisi, the men would need all their concentration and driving skills for an efficient operation. He spoke of the operation, "This is new for us, it is the first time we have seen this kind of ship. The process is slower due to the design of the ship so we have to work longer hours in order for the ship to be loaded on time." Their responsibility was to load the containers in the storage area onto the toploaders trucks, and deliver them to the dockside. Although the trucks are capable of loading the containers from the ground independently, this time they used a container- lifting vehicle to ensure speedy flow of the containers to the docks. The drivers went to and from one area to the next to keep the supply of containers needed at the dockside. At all times, radio contact was maintained between the different teams. There the forklift trucks placed them on the ground in just the right place for the crane. As nightfall beckoned, the trucks continued, determined to finish before the day was out. Eventually the final container was loaded; the whole cargo checked by the Supercargo (cargo supervisor) and the final all clear given for the storage and safety. The whole team had worked hard to maximum efficiency, which meant a lesser bill for the German ship, which was charged for by the hour for use of the docks. The ship sailed away into the night, heading for Crete, its last port of call before returning to Germany. The soldiers packed up and returned for a special Italian late night supper of pasta and a barbecue, tired but pleased with a very long day's work.


Holi is one of largest and probably the most exhilarating festivals in India. Though a Hindu religious festival, Holi is played by almost all communities and it is the festival of colors. It is to celebrate the arrival of spring and also for the good harvest. People throw colored powder and water at each other, the entire country gets immersed in colors of joy.
How can an Indian festival go by without mentioning food. So, that here's how I came up with the idea to host an event for food for Holi. The event theme was to prepare a dish inspired by the Holi festival and to portray the different colors in the plate.

So after months of nothing, I finally come back to with website and I see 84 spam comments… I really should get some sort of spam filter, but I guess since nobody ever really comments much anyways (0 in total, I believe) I'll just go ahead and delete all of the comments.
Hard drives are a fragile device indeed; dropping them causes them to break, shaking them causes them to break, magnets can cause them to break and time can cause them to break. It's interesting how these devices that we rely so heavily on with our data are actually constantly failing at random intervals.
So why do hard drives break, anyway?
The Windows Task Manager has been an integral part of the operating system for over a decade and the interface has remained pretty much the same throughout. New features that have arrived from Vista have improved upon the functionality of the program, but the fundamental purpose for the task manager is, and always has been, to let the user manipulate and control the vast number of tasks running on their PC.
In this article, I'm going to (attempt to) show you how to use HTML – A language used to create websites and display web pages.
Yesterday, something interesting happened… I started trying to get the word out that I owned a website, so I got a few friends to look at it. It just so happens that one of them noticed something: The comment box says that you are allowed to use certain HTML tags. THe problem is, not everyone knows how to use them. So it hit me, I should write a tutorial on using HTML.
The Internet is a complex place, and if you haven't already, you should go read part 1 of Explaining the Internet.
This article will cover the real in-depth details regarding the Internet.

The acronym ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It refers to a mode of screening investments that considers environment, social and corporate governance disciplines as criteria, seeking to achieve both competitive financial return and positive social impact.
ESG is part of the socially responsible investing (SRI) spectrum, and it is the most common portfolio screening that Family Wealth Advisors conducts.
Although most ESG screening is done by wealth managers themselves, Thomson Reuters provides structured and standardized ESG research in easy-to-navigate databases so that companies know where they stand and investors can feel secure that they are supporting companies with good practices. The Thomson Reuters database, for example, contains more than 6,000 global companies and over 400 metrics, according to its website. The Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) is also standard in the industry as third-party recognition of a company's ESG performance, a Deloitte report on ESG notes.
ESG can be incorporated in many ways and can complement traditional quantitative techniques focused on analyzing financial risk. In fact, conducting a positive and negative screening of a portfolio, based on ESG factors, is typically the first step in the "purpose investing" process.
Conducting a negative screening of a portfolio involves identifying certain categories of investments that may be in conflict with the client's values. Once this screening is done, clients may be surprised to learn that they hold controversial types of investments in their portfolios.
This type of screening may be used to exclude companies that have poor ESG records. For example, a car manufacturer could be removed from major ESG indexes if found to have cheated on emissions tests or committed other violations.
Conducting a positive screening of a portfolio involves requiring all holdings to meet certain requirements – for instance, actively seeking companies with strong ESG policies and procedures.
What are the potential benefits of ESG?
ESG directly impacts companies' financial performance through risk to direct operations, supply chain, and products, and indirectly impacts it through "stakeholder actions along the entire value chain," the Deloitte report on ESG found. Thus, for investors, knowing a company's ESG record is part and parcel of confidently investing in companies that are strong and sustainable.
Investing in companies with a positive ESG reputation could be particularly important during times of economic uncertainty or social unrest, due to a potential shielding effect that Deloitte calls an "ESG halo." For example, companies with strong ESG records were shielded from a decline in stock prices resulting from the 1999 World Trade Organization protests in Seattle, the Deloitte report explains.
Plus, just as with SRI overall, there is the benefit to investors that they are investing in companies that are governed well, with an eye for the environmental and social issues that they hold dear.

Q: Contains and append to the column cell if df.ColumnA.str.contains("ABC") , to append apple to ColumnA.

eg: ColumnA -> "ABC Company" , after running the code ColumnA -> "ABC Company apple"
May I know what is the fastest way to achieve this, if i dont wanna use for loop.

A: You can use np.where:
df['ColumnA'] = np.where(df.ColumnA.str.contains("ABC"),\
                df.ColumnA + 'myvalue', df.ColumnA)

A: Use DataFrame.loc what is same fast like np.where because processing only matched rows:
df.loc[df.ColumnA.str.contains("ABC"), 'ColumnA'] += ' apple'

Performance: For 400k rows, 50% matched
df = pd.DataFrame({'ColumnA':['ABC Company','ABC','temp', 'DDD']* 100000})
print (df)

In [82]: %timeit df['ColumnA'] = np.where(df.ColumnA.str.contains("ABC"), df.ColumnA + 'myvalue', df.ColumnA)
329 ms ± 10.9 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

In [83]: %timeit df.loc[df.ColumnA.str.contains("ABC"), 'ColumnA'] += ' apple'
323 ms ± 6.35 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

If there is less matched values, here 25% then loc is faster:
df = pd.DataFrame({'ColumnA':['ABC Company','ee','temp', 'DDD']* 100000})
#print (df)

In [89]: %timeit df['ColumnA'] = np.where(df.ColumnA.str.contains("ABC"), df.ColumnA + 'myvalue', df.ColumnA)
306 ms ± 5.37 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

In [90]: %timeit df.loc[df.ColumnA.str.contains("ABC"), 'ColumnA'] += ' apple'
269 ms ± 4.4 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

Q: Render water-paint in iOS I have been working with OpenGL in iOS, and setting the colors with glColor4f(r,g,b,a) and then drawing my own color on a white UIImageView. I basically have a brush, which is then moved around my user's touch, and then it paints the color onto the canvas. But this color needs to be water paint (like smudged color)
Does anyone understand/knows how to get a water color like this app does, and how the background UIImageView has a texture on it?
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hello-watercolor/id539414526?mt=8
or checkout water paint in this. http://www.fiftythree.com/paper
I created a bounty on this as I am really having a hard time to grasp how to derive such smooth flowing colors out of the normal colors. Even if you guys point me in the right direction, or to some sample code on how I can get the effect of water-paint, it would be really helpful ^_^
And as a bonus, it would be also be helpful if you can point out to me how to get canvas on which it is painted on looks realistic, and blended with the paint? Does Blending/GLSL have to do with any of this?
Is there any sample project on this?

A: If you are still struggling with the basics of getting realistic looking water colors working, you may want to experiment/prototype in photoshop first.
http://www.zoepiel.com/tutorials/watercolor/ shows some very effective tricks for creating watercolor images with simple tools.
The most interesting one is to multiply a group of watercolor layers with a greyscale watercolor paper image. The texture of the paper makes some parts remain white, and other parts saturate with color, just like real watercolor.
Each layer remains 'wet' in the sense that the colors within it blend, but the layers are 'dry' with respect to each other.
She also explains some of her brush and blur settings and shows what they do.
Once you can produce the desired effect in photoshop, you'll have clear specifications of what you want to do and you'll be quite a bit closer to programming it out.

A: Looking at the examples you posted, it looks like they are using a simple Gaussian Blur with a radius of double your brush size. This may be an incomplete solution, but it's at least the first level.

A Referee at a College Football Game was Shot in the Head By a Cannon [VIDEO]
There are tons of college football traditions to celebrate a team scoring a touchdown. While some blare horns or chant, there are a select group of teams that choose to celebrate by firing off cannons. But one touchdown celebration left a referee at a football game in the hospital.
[Scroll Down For Video]
A referee was shot in the head by a cannon in the endzone after a touchdown at Maine Maritime Academy's homecoming football game Saturday against Massachusetts Maritime Academy.
According to the Hancock County Sheriff's Office, it's tradition that a cannon be shot off after the Maine academy scores a touchdown. Typically, schools have employees handling theses types of celebrations in an effort to keep everyone safe.
Apparently, nobody at the academy got this memo because it was actually an alumnus that fired off the shot. Don't worry, the referee didn't get decapitated, but that was only because there was not an actual cannonball, thankfully.
The alumnus loaded the cannon with black powder and that wadded substance is what struck the referee in the head. The incident was captured by someone recording the touchdown. If you look toward the right side of the endzone, a referee, who was not named, is seen walking into frame.
An explosion is seen to the right of him, leaving the man dropping to the ground immediately and grabbing the side of his head. As he rolled in agonizing pain, several people came rushing to his side to offer assistance.
The referee was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Deadspin reported.
In a statement the following day, the school announced that the cannon, which was owned and operated by the alumnus, "was fired from outside the fence behind the end zone. One of the game officials was proceeding along the end line when the cannon was fired and was struck by packing material from the cannon. The Academy's president has directed that these devices will no longer be permitted on campus for future events."
The Bangor Daily News reported an investigation has begun into the matter, and the district attorney will decide whether to pursue criminal charges or not.

…et puer parvulus minabit eos.
(If you have any issues with the Latin above, take it up with Google Translate.)
At the risk of losing my street cred, I have to admit being edified and inspired by an event at the Statehouse today.
The occasion: The Senate Government Operations Committee taking up a bill to establish Stella Quarta Decima Fulgeat as an alternate motto for the state of Vermont.
This proposal has famously been the target of unedifying and uninspiring commentary, mistakenly conflating Latin with Latino, criticizing it as a waste of time, and wrongly complaining that the new motto would supplant "Freedom and Unity."
Angela Kubicke and the motto bill's sponsor Sen. Joe Benning, with the broad shoulders and flowing mane of Seven Days' Paul "Party in the Back" Heintz in the middle.
The hearing was attended by roughly five dozen middle- and high-school students of Latin, along with teachers, parents, and three Classicists from the University of Vermont. The hearing's central figure was 15-year-old Angela Kubicke, who had the original idea for the Latin motto and, with her teacher and others, came up with the exact wording. The first three words, translated as "The Fourteenth Star," appeared on the first coin minted in the 1780s by the then-independent Vermont. "Fulgeat," the verb, completes the sentence "May the fourteenth star shine brightly." Kubicke and her teacher, Ray Starling, gave a thorough account of the historical rationale for their proposal.
One of the other witnesses almost stole the show. If you were casting the part of a tenured professor of classical languages, you might just see Robert Rodgers as a gift of the gods. Slightly tousled gray hair, well-trimmed gray beard, glasses, precise in speech to the point of pedantry, his testimony was perched delicately on the border between entertaining and aggravating. As committee chair Jeanette White admitted afterward, "I forgot that professors are used to talking in 45-minute increments." Professor Rodgers went nowhere near that long, but with the chair's forbearance he blithely ignored the two-minute time limit per speaker. It was a rare opportunity for a Classicist to speak to a lay audience on a subject dear to his heart, and he was (in his own reserved way) happy as a pig in slop.
Still, he was an effective if nerdy (and wordy) witness, praising "Fulgeat" as "a felicitous choice for a verb," parsing its contextual meanings and citing its use by the Roman poet Virgil.
Three students from Lamoille Union High School also spoke to the committee, defending Latin as a foundation of modern science, architecture, music, and Western languages. At the end, committee member Chris Bray commended Kubicke and her fellow speakers for the "depth of thought" behind the motto.
And then came the vote: FIve in favor, zero opposed. The bill goes on to the full Senate on Friday.
For the many who complained about the bill being a "waste of time," you should have been there. Everyone — Senators, professors, teachers, and students — were fully engaged in the process and the issue. It took less than an hour all told, and it was a great learning experience for all. I've got nothing cynical to say about it in the least.

Ethics, shmethics
Riddle me this, Batman: How is a political blogpost like a roadkill skunk?
The apparent answer: At first their stench makes them unfit for polite company, but after three weeks or so the smell goes away.
See, way; back on January 19, I wrote a piece about a bill before the legislature to establish a Latin motto for Vermont. Over time, the story went viral; it appeared on the Huffington Post, the Daily Kos, Reddit, Fark, and Gawker. It was shared on Facebook more than 10,000 times, and I literally got over 100,000 pageviews out of it.
But nobody else in Vermont media picked up on the story.
That is, until now. The Associated Press' Dave Gram wrote a piece about it. The Burlington Free Press posted it on their paywalled website; here's a link to the story on a non-paywalled site.
Nice of Dave to finally notice the story. Don't know why it took three weeks.
Not so nice: he didn't credit the Vermont Political Observer as the original source. Maybe the story's blogorrific stench has dissipated, but the smell still permeates the dread name "theVPO."
Gawker, that irresponsible gossipmonger, credited me; the local media, I guess, chooses not to.
Now I realize that (a) this is a trivial story, a sidebar to our coverage of politics and policy, and (b) nobody outside of the room I'm sitting in cares whether I get fair credit. But I do. And the giving and receiving of credit is always a lively topic whenever journalists gather; my salaried colleagues are quick to complain when they are slighted by another media outlet.
So here's my complaint. For the vast majority of you who don't care, my apologies and I promise something more relevant next time. Just needed to get that off my chest.

More on the motto: true to Vermont's heritage
(Note: See also this follow-up post on the motto's approval by a Senate committee.)
Of all the stuff I've written about Vermont politics and policy on this blog and earlier on Green Mountain Daily, the single-most-read piece I've ever posted was last week's post about the proposed addition of a Latin state motto. So I thought I'd add some historical information for those still skeptical about the idea.
For those just joining us, Sen. Joe Benning has sponsored a bill designating a new Latin motto — not to displace "Freedom and Unity," but to exist side-by-side. He did so at the behest of Angela Kubicke, a ninth-grade student at The Riverside School in Lyndonville*, who is apparently way smarter than I was in the ninth grade. Or certainly more dedicated and focused.
*Correction: Kubicke was an eighth-grader at Riverside when she first approached Sen. Benning; she is now a first-year student at St. Johnsbury Academy, and is also a member of the Latin Club at the Lyndon Institute. Credit where credit's due.
The motto, Stella Quarta Decima Fulgeat, is translated as "May the Fourteenth Star Shine Bright." It's a nod to Vermont's status as the 14th state to join the Union — hence, the 14th star on the flag. My original post had to do with ignorant Facebook commenters who confused Latin with Latin America — basically telling Joe and Angela to take their motto and go back to Mexico.
There were also plenty of comments accusing the Senator of wasting time on such nonsense — when, in fact, bills like this take up very little of anyone's time. In the opening weeks of the session, most of the work takes place in committees; and while other committees are debating taxes, budget, education, environment, etc., one single committee will spend probably a few minutes on this issue. The entire Senate does not grind to a halt over stuff like this.
There was also a third class of ignorant comments, saying we should stick with our heritage and not drag in some newfangled foreign motto.
But in fact, Stella Quarta Decima Fulgeat is a direct tribute to Vermont's early status as an independent republic. During that time, it was pretty clear that Vermont would eventually join the United States, and the monicker "14th Star" was commonly used. In 1786, the government authorized the minting of Vermont coins; the phrase Stella Quarta Decima was included on the "tails" side of Vermont's first coin.
So the motto is not new at all; it's a reflection of Vermont's early history. As is the use of Latin.
The next step in the odyssey of Stella Quarta Decima Fulgeat will take place at 2 pm on Wednesday, February 11, when Angela Kubicke will testify before the Senate Government Operations Committee. "I suspect she will make a very good impression," said Sen. Benning in a comment to my previous posting. "I am also willing to lay odds that the tripartisan membership of that committee will vote unanimously in support of the bill, if for no other reason than to demonstrate that legislators still care about the Classics and Vermont's heritage."
What started out as a small civics lesson for a single student may well become a big lesson in history — and open-mindedness — for all of us.

No good deed goes unpunished
(Note: those visiting this page for the first time may also want to read two follow-up posts: one exploring the historical roots of the proposed motto, and one about a state Senate committee's consideration of the motto.)
You try to do something nice…
Last spring, Senate Minority Leader Joe Benning got a letter from an eighth-grader at The Riverside School in Lyndonville. She was studying Latin, and wanted Senator Joe to introduce a bill to give Vermont a Latin motto. We've got "Freedom and Unity," but no Latin.
As the idea developed, those involved came up with a motto: Stella quarta decima fulgeat. The translation: "May the Fourteenth Star Shine Bright," is a nod to Vermont's status as the fourteenth state to join the union. Nice. Poetic in both languages. Benning brought the student to Montpelier and introduced her to the Government Operations Committee, which would consider her proposal.
*Also possible endorsement deal with the new 14th Star Brewery in St. Albans?
It was too late in last year's session to launch the idea, but Benning introduced it this month. Senate Bill 2 would not affect "Freedom and Unity" at all; it would simply establish the Latin motto as a separate thing.
A nice harmless moment, no? A reward for a hardworking, creative student, yes?
Funny thing. Last week, WCAX did a story about Benning's bill. And the reaction, as Benning told me in an email?
I anticipated suffering the backroom internal joking from my colleagues in the legislature. What I did not anticipate was the vitriolic verbal assault from those who don't know the difference between the Classics and illegal immigrants from South America.
Sen. Joe Benning, perhaps on his way back to Mexico. (Photo from his Facebook page.)
That's right, the WCAX Facebook page was inundated with angry posts from ignorant Vermonters spewing their hatred in barely readable fractured English. (Spelling and punctuation as-is) Warning: Teh stoopid, it burns!
Dorothy Lynn Lepisto: "I thought Vermont was American not Latin? Does any Latin places have American mottos?"
Norman Flanders: "What next Arab motto??"
Kevin P. Hahn: "How about 'go back south of the boarder'"
Richard Mason: "We are AMERICANS, not latins, why not come up with a Vermont motto that is actually from us"
Judy Lamoureux: "Throw him out of the country tell him to take obama with him!"
Phil Salzano: "My question is, are we Latin, or are we Vermonters? Alright then, English it is….."
Lori Olds: "I thought this was USA why are they trying to make Americans aliens"
Chris Ferro: "That's a BIG NO, if you live in the United State YOU need to learn ENGLISH!!"
Julie Kellner: "No, you a USA citizen!.. Learn & understand the language!!!."
Kurtis Jones: "No cause vt ain't no Latino area. Leave the motto alone"
Zeb Swierczynski: "ABSOLUTLY NOT!!!! sick and tired of that crap, they have their own countries"
Ken Curtis: "Just when I felt our represenatives could not possibly get any dumber , they come up with this…get real… this is the USA, not some Moslim or Mexican country…stop given in to these people…PRESS 1 for English and forget the rest… worry about the problems you were elected to do"
Ronald Prouty Jr. "No way this is America not Mexico or Latin America. And they nee to learn our language, just like if we go there they want us to speak theirs"
Kristen Wright: "thats un called for this is the usa"
Kelley Dawley: "How do you say idiotic senator in spanish? I'd settle for deport illegals in spanish as a back up motto"
Heather Chase: "Seriously?? Last time I checked..real vermonters were speakin ENGLISH.. NOT LATIN..good god…"
I could go on, but that's more than enough.
And really, it's only the tip of the iceberg. For every commenter who didn't know the difference between Mexico and Rome, there were ten who were apoplectic over the notion that Our Representatives Are Wasting Their Time (as if this bill will take more than a few minutes anywhere), and that Joe Benning is a moron who should be voted out of office and/or evicted from Vermont.
The good Senator is reacting to this with admirable equanimity:
I figure this is a good opportunity for my now ninth grader to learn how to respond to such attacks with fortitude and grace. I hope to be meeting with her and her parents this weekend to continue the educational experience.
Good on ya, Senator. Illegitimi non carborundum.
