Journal Journal: GOLF CLAP: Gold medal dodge of the day = fustakrakich 8

I take you attempt to shift the discussion from butchering innocent human life in a country where I am a citizen to one with which my country trades is an admission that you know you're RONNGG.
By your logic, the fact that I listened to "Jamaican Jerk Off" the other day while driving, as the iPod went through "J", means I support modern variations on marriage, given that Elton John performed it.
You stay smashing, fustakrakich.

Journal Journal: Aw man 1

Wont say what site or where - but I'm working on migrating something that was hosted in one of our offices to a shared hosting environment.

They had everything you can imagine copied into the site folder so I'm working through and removing stuff I don't need to upload to the new host. I find a directory that has phpmyadmin stuff in it. On a whim I pull up the production site in my browser and head over to that folder - logs me in automatically and I can browse all tables in the db. Just told the new ops director and I think he might pop a few veins.

Journal Journal: Emergency Alerts 2

I am currently using a Moto G as my primary phone for a bit. I brought it with me to Moscow. As soon as I got here I started getting "Emergency Alerts" like crazy. I think I had 40 or so the first afternoon.

So I googled it and found out about a US system for this kind of thing. I also found out how to turn it off. I couldn't find any info. on an equivalent Russian system. Whatever is making it happen, I can't read them. I just see random characters on my phone. Maybe if I used Russian the characters would render properly - dunno.

Anyway it's so odd that I thought I would mention it.

Journal Journal: Scott Walker: "It's About Reform" 18

I, for one, have had enough "borrowing it forward":

"I think what we've shown in Wisconsin is that it's not about austerity--it's about reform,â Walker said. "And what I mean by that is if we just come in our state and cut things across the board that means you cut your priorities as much as you cut things that aren't quite as important. We reined in collective bargaining. We put more power back in the hands of the taxpayer at the state and the local level. I think nationally we need that same sort of reform no matter who is running for president. I'd slash the marginal tax rates for everyone across the board--go to a simpler, more flat tax."

We should hasten to add that, in stark contrast to #OccupyResoluteDesk, Walker actually has a record of, you know, reforming.
"We put more power back in the hands of the taxpayer at the state and the local level," he says. That's kind of like my notion of "redistribute power, not wealth," that the slack-jawed sycophants keep rejecting. You little knuckle-draggers stay lovely, now.

Journal Journal: Good evening, everyone everywhere. 2

This is the Voice of Freedom broadcasting from somewhere in MagyarorszÃg.

I'm exhausted - should have never gotten the CBS NCAA tourney feed working at home. Slept 2 hours this morning. Fly to Moscow Wed a.m. dark and early. Life is hectic and I just keep looking at April 6th and telling myself I just have to make it that far.

I'm being melodramatic but this next couple weeks will be rough. Last week was superb - I'll post a write up later.

Journal Journal: Recalls the jokers around here 6

Mufson and Eilperin, at least, give no reason we should believe a word they say. They rely on their status as staff writers or reporters for the Washington Post and the aptitude with which they can deploy the lingo of journalists fulfilling their traditional function consistent with professional norms.

Read the whole thing for a tale of two sad little hacks at the WaPoo, doing their lame best at attacking the Koch brothers, and their bitch-slapping at the hands of among the better bloggers online today.

Journal Journal: So the employers formed a union? 10

http://yro.slashdot.org/story/14/03/23/1945242/silicon-valley-anti-poaching-cartel-went-beyond-a-few-tech-firms
I've always maintained that private sector unions are a matter of freedom of assembly, and I think a public sector union is tantamount to a mutiny.
The only problem I see here is if the affected employees were somehow unable to form their own company. At the point that the employees are serfs, then there is cause for complaint. Short of that, "consenting adults" and all.

Journal Journal: GOP still not getting it 3

After all, the Republicans are trying to copy an operation that the Democrats have been building, perfecting and training on for 10 years, ever since the party was outflanked by the GOP in the 2004 presidential election. Even if the RNC develops advanced digital tools in time for this year's campaign, the committee has to teach a new crop of volunteers to use them, not to mention convince longtime strategists to embrace them.

Dems lost in '04 due to running the only guy lame enough to make HRC's SecState tenure seem marginally competent.
All of the shiny technology in the world isn't going to put a sheen on Progressive turd policies. If the GOP wants political power, it really needs to be about both articulating AND DELIVERING actual reform.
