Run for the roses?
Hamlet Enters Syria
To arm or not to arm? That was the question vexing our Hamlet of the Potomac as he grappled with the Syria problem. Fortunately, he had a lot of angst and recognized it as a troublesome, nuanced problem, so libs who would otherwise be appalled by this decision to arm the rebels can be reassured ...
He will always be Lindsey "You jackass" Graham.

Do you want the best and brightest or just someone who graduated from college?
Steve Jobs, anyone?

the problem with Snowden is he seems to have been raised without any real allegiance to this country
The footprints left by Obama suggest he believes the world would be better off without American pre-eminence . . . and he desires to leave the world a better place.
The Greeks Probably Have A Word For It
What is the word for Chinese Trojan horse? The NSA is saying that leaker Edward Snowden couldn't have gotten the information he obviously got. So one wonders whether he is a front man for some other group. And he gave his big interviews in Hong Kong, leaving us to revive our theory that Chinese ...
Last book, second half, from the "I open at the close" with Harry's dead friends, and also with Dumbledore at King's Cross station.
The book and the film follow each other closely.
Great lessons in applied ethics.
Better books to read in school than some of the claptrap offered in curricula.
Zimmerman Trial - Start Making Stuff Up
The Zimmerman trial is underway with jury selection, so it is time for the mainstream media to start making thiungs up. Our fave du jour comes from the New Yorker, where Jelani Cobb links the Martin shooting with the larger liberal ongoing nightmare: It’s possible—no, reasonable—to look at Marti...
Boatbuilder, another alternative for Harry Potter is to get the audio CDs. They are wonderful. Read by Jim Dale, they are wonderful. The end of the Deathly Hallows is riveting.
That Held Up Well
I finally got around to looking at a New Republic story I had clicked on late last week: Why Tech Companies Are Better Than Phone Companies at Protecting Your Privacy Verizon handed over data to the NSA. Why don't Google or Facebook? Ooops. Now I am left wondering whether the page that sent me...
Somehow I don't think registering objections with our NY senators Schumer and Gillibrand is worth my time and effort.
A Scandal A Day Keeps Immigration OK
The nearly-panicked Mickey Kaus worries that all these distractions are letting the absurd immigration bill creep forward on little cat feet.
Hunger Games book one was worth reading if only to represent Capitol City, President Snow, and the sycophants of our current political climate.
Books two and three were weak and could have been compressed into an epilog.

rse, another reason to use the middle initial is to set your self apart from the crowd of people who go by re.
Of course, it saddles you with having to decide what to use in the future.
Personally, I like what was done in A Thousand Clowns where Murray's nephew could choose his own name, changing it whenever he wanted by taking out a new library card.

My sister once said, "Imagine realizing that you grew up to become one of those people your mother told you to stay away from when you were young."
Imagine your country grew up to become one of those governments your Founders told you to stay away from when you were young.
Sunday Morning
Let's go with an NSA-monitored, IRS approved open thread.
"undermining"
Oooh! That's the name to push. Not "datamining."
Undermining is using datamining for nefarious political purposes.
Make a list: IRS, EPA, Petraeus, Chicago divorces.
It's not the exception; it's the rule!
Losing Their Religion

"sealed box"
What on-programmers have to realize is that storing data organizes data.
Putting data into the "sealed box" interprets the data into useful associations.

Chris Muir's www.Daybydaycartoon.com today deliciously references the Hunger Games books and movie.
Chris is having his annual campaign to which I have contributed.

rse: They are not an expert on education. They are experts in using education to get to an altered future and convincing good people who believe in freedom and liberty to go along with practices that are actually designed to shut it down.
Govt at every level in the 21st is a shakedown racket.
Deserves repeating.

I just finished listening to futurist Marina Gorbis being interviewed and saying we have been building this platform of tools now for 40 years. Now it is time for the tools to begin changing us.
A futurist: Someone so fixated on predictions that yesterday and today are ignored.

Happy Birthday to Jaxon, TK-ette, and Ig's beautiful one!
Absolutely! And to Wolverine, too.
They and their elders make the sun shine at JOM no matter who tries to rain on the parade.
Blood Pressure Panic
The Sunday Times is going to give me a stroke. First, the Dead Tree edition has a great headline on the Heat-Pacers game after the Pacers forced a Game Seven - "Pacers Taking Everyone's Talent To South Beach" - but I deplore the breakdown of coaching concentration in Indiana (subsequently6 edite...
Suppose one tweeted "Holder says Posts trashing Muslims may violate civil rights - Ah HAHAHAAHAHAHA!"
One could be trashing the former, the latter, or both.

When ostensibly intelligent people won't differentiate between peaceful adherents and the violent, it is time for them to be laughed into oblivion.
James Comey To The FBI
The NY Times tells us that James B. Comey, a "former Bush official", will be nominated to lead the FBI: By choosing Mr. Comey, a Republican, Mr. Obama made a strong statement about bipartisanship at a time when he faces renewed criticism from Republicans in Congress and has had difficulty winnin...
Porch, what would one be prosecuted for if one used a page of the Bible to ignite a page of the Koran?

Gus, anyone who quotes Howard Zinn isn't a student of history and anyone who didn't figure Zinn was a fraud isn't a journalist.

Weighing in, the nice thing about the birther tug-of-war is that neither side knows how many angels are dancing on the head of this particular pin.
The only thing I hope is that, after certain presidents are put out to pasture, after the evidence finally falls, if their is malfeasance, Congress will pass a tax on the future government provided income and support of any president found guilty of a felony.
In fact, we could pass that now.

Leaks Investigations, LOL
The NY Times provides context for Obama by reviewing the recent history of leak investigations. Without, of course, any mention of the Plame debacle, since that was a sincere effort to invent a scandal and bring down the Administration, with reporters jailed as collateral damage. Further comedy ...
The office remains vacant until the next election.
Saaaay! With the Lt. Gov gone and the governor appointed to serve The One, perhaps there is hope for the Commonwealth.

CCal, congratulations for not posting on FB that you were delighted to find an app that allowed you to avoid anyone within Kevin Bacon distance of your almost DIL.

The China Syndrome
China may finally be tugging on North Korea's leash: China Bluntly Tells North Korea to Enter Nuclear Talks By JANE PERLEZ BEIJING — The Chinese leader, Xi Jinping, bluntly told a North Korean envoy on Friday that his country should return to diplomatic talks intended to rid it of its nuclear w...
