Maybe Jezza finally did go too far, but the Beeb (and BBC America) will deeply rue this decision financially, and the 'victim' will go down in history being about as popular as this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bartman_incident

Greenwald is right. Had even one of his parents been of Middle Eastern origin, the state organs of security and the corporate media would be shouting "Terrorist!!". But since he's German (read: White), the 'T' word isn't even uttered, just mental illness.

"Thousands, Standing Around" -- Thomas P. M. Barnett

I've always wondered if he meant the obese clone army of Blue Shirts, or Security Checkpoints being a target-rich bottleneck.

"The people who tend not to vote are young, they're lower income, they're skewed more heavily towards immigrant groups and minority groups. There's a reason why some folks try to keep them away from the polls."

This is the one downside to health care advances: the geriatric gentry like DICK Cheney will hang around far too long, doing out-sized damage to every facet of our existence.

They also use this garbage lying theory called Parallel Construction, which if they explained it to time machine transported Founding Fathers, they would fall upon them like a pack of ravening zombies, as they would see this for what it is: Tyranny.

If the GOP again controls both the White House and both houses, the first thing they will do is outright eliminate the Freedom of Information Act or make it so toothless as to be irrelevant. After all, there's an endless, profitable war on, you know.

Homeless limo drivers appear! "Home, Jeeves; and keep it above 90!"

"That's for the hackers to figure out!"

The constant 'Pew-Pew-Pew' sounds would keep me awake at night.

My SO loves watching Shark Tank (which I despise, but try to keep to myself). A telling indicator of how busted the current system is that these millionaires (who apparently just don't *quite* have enough lucre yet) always ask the same question: "Do you have a patent?"

Military Intelligence, Virgin Birth...

Still fascinating that no one can agree on the origin of the once slang 'OK'.

They will have to shut this down HARD, to keep us from manufacturing pharmaceuticals and recreational drugs wihout the permission of IP "owners" or our frankly insane drug law enforcers.

Wow: Big Pharma's *and* Big Moral Cop's worst nightmare. Here's hoping, anyway.

I still am not sure why (where the land isn't good enough or worth trying to improve for farming) solar isn't co-habituating with wind farms just to take advantage of the already built power infrastructure. Maybe not enough capacity when both are at or near optimal generating conditions?
