White House Caves on Defense Bill Veto Threat →
wilwheaton:
The President will not veto the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) over provisions codifying the use of indefinite military detention on American soil.
The NDAA is profoundly unconstitutional, and destroys the fundamental principle of Due Process that was part of the founding of this country.
I expect this kind of tyranny from Republicans, and we saw a whole lot of it from...
Following Bachmanngate, Late Night‘s Questlove Now... →
“So. It would appear that Questlove, the drummer and front-man for Late Night house band The Roots, is having his freedom to choose the show’s songs seriously curbed as a consequence of choosing to introduce recent guest Michele Bachmann with Fishbone’s “Lyin’ Ass Bitch.” He’ll now have to have songs ok’d by no less than three higher-ups at NBC.”

Buying a house: epilogue (?)
- Pulling up Linoleum is the worst thing. THE. WORST. THING.
-Until you realize the house you just bought has a significant roach problem.
-Painting a wall is the best instant gratification you can get outside of a video game.
-I used to day dream about going over to an gamestop to shop around as if money were no object. Now I day dream about Home Depot. Also sleep.

Crashingly Beautiful: The Snowman →
crashinglybeautiful:
One must have a mind of winter To regard the frost and the boughs Of the pine-trees crusted with snow; And have been cold a long time To behold the junipers shagged with ice, The spruces rough in the distant glitter Of the January sun; and not to think Of any misery in the sound of the…

I ALMOST MADE IT
Almost got through 2011 without a sarcoidosis, um, “event”. SO SO SO CLOSE. Now for a fun round of x-rays and some steroid therapy, just in time to get me moody and depressed for the holidays.

Wonkette and Washingtonsblog.com reported that the Mayor of Oakland acknowledged that the Department of Homeland Security had participated in an 18-city mayor conference call advising mayors on “how to suppress” Occupy protests.
To Europeans, the enormity of this breach may not be obvious at first. Our system of government prohibits the creation of a...

When Did the GOP Lose Touch With Reality? →
America desperately needs a responsible and compassionate alternative to the Obama administration’s path of bigger government at higher cost. And yet: This past summer, the GOP nearly forced America to the verge of default just to score a point in a budget debate. In the throes of the worst economic crisis since the Depression, Republican politicians demand massive budget cuts and shrug off the...
