Just signed an online petition at the White House website asking for the President to veto that law that would allow the government to kidnap its citizens. Feel free to add a signature if you like. Closes tomorrow.

Ha! You're all going on the list.

I TURNED YOU ALL INTO ROBOTS ONCE, AND I'M SORRY BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL, AND IT'S THE PD I ONCE KNEW, BUT WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S REALLY THERE UNDER YOUR AVATARS...

So, short of war, what could the Navy do

"to counter malevolent actions"

?

So uh.. I'm late to the party and just turned everyone into a robot.

Boy I wish I hadn't done that.

In case you missed it, here's how to deal with it:

I'd like to think God let Havel and Hitchens pick the third.

Dear Mr. Cain.


Why the FUCK do people like Ron Paul? Is he really that good of a gerrymanderer? Or is that much of American stupid?

Something I find disturbing are the men and women who are angry and resentful at others because they can't attract a mate who is of significantly higher, for lack of a better term, attractiveness level than themselves. Not merely physical; also consider an out-of-shape 40-year-old retail employee bitching because she can't find a rich guy to take care of her, or the high-school dropout who doesn't understand why she can't seem to end up with anyone with a higher education.

The (not-so-odd) thing is that the anger and resentment themselves are such unattractive traits that at some point, they become a major deciding factor in their level of social desirability. I once worked with a guy who had the most wretched sadsack demeanor and was constantly complaining that women wouldn't give him the time of day; he was repulsive in part because of the bitterness that rolled off him in waves. He was only 26. Men and women avoided him, because he was fucking awful to be around, and it didn't have anything to do with his perfectly acceptable physical appearance. When you meet someone who is already angry at you because you won't sleep with them, or because you're part of a category of people who won't sleep with them, you know pretty instinctively that they have no interest in getting to know who you are, so why bother? Avoid.

I've got a friend who gets himself in similar situations. It's not that he's offensive, it's that he can become cripplingly indecisive and withdrawn around people he's not comfortable with, which costs him potential relationships, which only feeds his insecurities and indecision.
It's some sort of ridiculous positive feedback loop.

CAKE LIES AT BOTH ENDS OF THE BELL CURVE, PIE IS ONLY IN THE MIDDLE. THAT IS ALL. 

I can't help but feel like this alpha/beta crap is just missing the point or buying into some sort of preconceived notions of how you're supposed to be, I just seem to put it into words...

It's weird, I feel like I've barely worked this week but I just took pictures of 29 bracelet beads and I still have 14 focals, 4 sets, 20 pairs of earrings, and 72 glass headpins to photograph, plus I just pulled 12 more focals out of my kiln for capping and coring.

How did I do this? 

It's kinda like Fight Club, but instead of your alternate personality going and starting underground anarchist pugilists associations, she decided you actually could use a little extra cash.

Hilariously, Demand Progress is painting it as massive victory for the people.

I really don't see where Demand Progress is referring to the twitter crap.
They're probably referring to this.

You're not going to be wearing the opponent's colors: just because you aren't on their side doesn't mean you aren't playing their game.
You don't have to pick a team, is what you realize. It's your moment to forget the uniform and streak across the field, if you want.
It's the position you stand where when the fat man starts to lean, you don't have the one pushing back, you can just let the fucker fall.
It's a way of getting out of the foot traffic and cutting across to get where you're going, untying yourself from the line that you would have to tow along behind you, the one eventually gets tangled up, trips you up and drags you down away from where you're trying to go.
Fuckit. Forsake flags and parties. They all have their own baggage, and none of them mean you.

YOU DICK!
