Politics. Don Granberry on the old Spork Boards was quite fond of talking about them, and here we continue on in that fine tradition.

You can thank your Republican congress for being so obstinate that the President has to use paths he doesn't need to go through Congress to utilize.

I suppose that since Greece gave us Western Civilization, it's only fair that they get to destroy it.

Credit to Matt Taibbi at Rolling Stone for staying on top of this story. He has some nice summaries of what the OWS protestors are actually protesting about and summaries of how the banking crisis came to be.

Good links there Dave...

On a tangent, I'm not normally a big fan of Israel taking unilateral military action and generally being overaggressive and oversensitive foreign policy douchebags (for want of a better expression).

But if ever there was a time for them to do exactly that, it is now...

Time for sanctions, surgical strikes, the works

(Oh, and ain't it ironic Bush invaded the next door neighbour that wasn't developing WMDs of any kind...)

US citizens, if you want to sign a petition against HR 3035 which will allow unsolicited marketing "robo-calls" to cellphones, click the link below. (Did you know that, under this bill, providing your phone number in any context constitutes consent for future marketing calls? Swell!)

I would like to propose an amendment to the US Constitution for the Right to Privacy in which the right to anonymity in all dealings would be afforded us. That's just my unsociable side speaking.

Isaac Asimov, via Daring Fireball:

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge”.

I'm sure all of the tinfoil hat sites which link to this video are going to post retractions when this turns out to be a hoax or a viral marketing campaign for a video game or movie.

Documentary video from the back of a room doesnt usually zoom around randomly. The fMRI scans shown are identical top-to-bottom yet they purport to show two different subjects.

Bogus.
