Naked, unrepentant blog-comment Godwin violation.

(I don't care what you say, I'd feed it and give in a pillow to sleep on.)


One thing I really miss about the ol' CompuServe account was that the jump suits were really convenient when you were in the mood for sexual encounter. Worked great. Unless she was menstruating, because then you couldn't let her anywhere near your pristine bachelor pad.

Personally, I think Montmartre's a shithole. Still.

Cuteness alert!!

o.O

"Cuteness alert!!"

I think the word is "awwwverdose." I'll have to show that one to my daughter!

Oh, by the way: The Redskins couldn't stop a team of Japanese dwarf flying squirrels!

Yeah, well the Patriots sucked wind this weekend too. What a freakin' disappointment.

I thought these were sneeches?

Nope, those are golden snitches.

Try this on: A union is saying right to work is slavery. But they aren't getting that forcing employees to join the union to work is taking away civil liberties too.

Regarding the last line, let me be the one to just go ahead and say that Edward Snowden is a hero. M'kay? Let's just get that out there.

If America had a few more gifted young men like that who were willing to risk everything (including a freaksex girlfriend) to take on the government when it worked against the interests of her its people, this nation would be paradise.

So many people are so eager to say he's not a hero... And when they say that, I feel like they're showing their hearts to be a dusky and unused furnaces, with nothing in there but cold, filthy coals.

This guy came to a pinnacle of secret power in United States; he could have spied on any or all of us in ways we never dreamt of in our worst nightmares, and built God-knows what kind of empire for himself. Instead, he did what he needed to do to let us know that this resource, paid for with our own money and fully out of sight, was being used against us.

What could be more heroic? Who's a greater hero of the last fifty years?

Cammy.

I love that woman.

Couldn't go gay even if you wanted to.

Another study shows two-parent families better for children (especially boys):

http://www.city-journal.org/2013/23_4_boy-trouble.html

"Instead, the rational sex, the proto-homo economicus, is shrugging off school and resigning itself to a life of shelf stocking. Why would that be?"

"This spring, another MIT economist, David Autor, and coauthor Melanie Wasserman, proposed an answer. The reason for boys’ dismal school performance, they argued, was the growing number of fatherless homes. Boys and young men weren’t behaving rationally, the theory suggested, because their family background left them without the necessary attitudes and skills to adapt to changing social and economic conditions. The paper generated a brief buzz but then vanished."

Hey Amy!

Check it out!

STUDIES! About family! Because we wouldn't know whether a loving mother and a loving father were what's best unless there was a "study," right?

From Coney's link:

“All other family structures appear detrimental to boys [my italics].”

His/her italics, not mine, but you see what they're getting at.

Þ Reddit: Two shoes, a tree.

Like, scientists in Japan are suggesting the universe could totally be a hologram.

I have no idea what they mean, but it sounds like something sophomore physics majors talk about in the dorm, sometime after being enlightened by a really righteous spliff...

On Friday, the George Soros funded group, Media Matters for America, declared victory over Fox News saying it had neutralized the cable news channel.

On Monday, Variety reported that in 2013 Fox News remained the most watched cable news channel in the country, "drawing more viewers than the combined averages of CNN, MSNBC and HLN."

In other news, the Obamacare Web site is a rousing success, Ambassador Scott Stevens' death was ruled a suicide, and Obama is more popular than ever with younger voters.

Why are you beating on your old straw man?

IIRC, Amy has never said that having a Mom and Dad was NOT superior to anything else - she said that having two gay parents was better than single parenthood.

Which is right.

Is that what she's saying? That's interesting.

It's not interesting, it's just evasive. All these other configurations might, in some daydreamy universe of frostless calculation and bloodless human attachments, vaguely describe the relative 7th- and 13th-best arrangements for kids. If you guys wanna quibble over things like that —whether Superman could defeat Might Mouse, as the movie once described it— then, y'know, go ahead knock yerselves out. But it would be mundane.

I'm concerned with what's best for kids.

(Also, I'm not sure that's how she feels about it. Also, I don't see why you'd be so certain it's right.)

I'm concerned with what's best for kids.

Bullshit. Your only concern is with being right, or more accurately being SEEN as being right

Big Time Slap in the Face for the NSA and the FISA Court, from the D.C. Circuit. The judge here did not mince words. Will be interesting to see this in front of the Supremes two years from now.

You mean after Obama packs SCOTUS?

Yes but it doesn't fucking matter as they lie and delay the shit like the EPA regs.

Until we get the Liberty Amendments incorporated our federal government to stop using the Constitutions as toilet paper it isn't going to get better.

We are so fucked.

"(Also, I'm not sure that's how she feels about it...)"

Yet you comment anyway, taking a position you have thus made up, yourself.

Well, the first step is admitting you have a problem... you just expressed it.

All the artwork in your house consists of mirrors.

> Yet you comment anyway

Why not? You affirmed a position as being some one else's, but it seemed worth deflating nonetheless.

> taking a position you have thus made up,
> yourself.

Whence "thus"?

And where do you want my positions to come from?

> you just expressed it.

Expressed what?

> All the artwork in your house consists
> of mirrors.

Naw, mostly prints. Steichen, things like that. Industry stuff. Some Bouguereau in the baths.

We are so fucked.

Yup. See debt clock, Obamacare clusterfuck and baby boomers not being replaced.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Obama's meeting with tech executives about NSA spying was used as PR pitch for Obamacare Web site - execs not pleased.

For a guy who was once at the forefront of an amazingly in-touch presidential campaign, this guy really is politically tone deaf.

Thats because he no longer has to shill to keep his job. If presidents didnt have a term limit he'd still be projecting his polished image. But at this point he has nothing to lose by showing his true colors so why wouldnt he?
