Generous, for now.

Security is more important than your personal privacy or perverse incentives concerns citizen.

I ran in to Glen Beck at the dry cleaners yesterday. He was picking up his sheep's clothing. True story.

Well, The New York Times theorizes that it's Bank of America. That's where I'd start.

Hey, we're not fat. It's glandular.

High-frequency trading supports a very important function of providing liquidity that allows the free flowing of, um, high-frequency trading and uh, high-risk prop-desk front running, and hmmm, other important and productive economic activities that benefit everyone and not just the rich elite. Seriously, stop asking questions about it.

No, it's not like that at all. It's not a money grab, it's just that the story is so epic that they couldn't figure out how to put it all into just one part. Oh wait, never mind. That was Starcraft 2.

Most bills spawn from the greasy keyboard of a lobbyist. So the question is, which one? My guess: the one hired by the company that sells the "switch".

Someone please write the following on a piece of paper, attach said paper to a brick, and then hurl that brick through Joe's living room window:

When most citizens see that the people being killed really are people too with the same hopes, dreams, and ambitions as them with all the same things to lose, they don't see it as war anymore, they see it as murder.

Yeah, now instead of being a glorified RSS feed for reddit, they're an actual RSS feed for reddit. Great change!
