you know that turned out to be a complete hoax, right?

Rick Perry is often the target of political shenanigans. His order to have Gardasil added to the vaccination list stirred up a huge hornets nest of political crap too. I thought that was a good decision. The opportunity to significantly reduce the number of cervical cancer cases? Good! Even Rick Perry dismissed the religious folks saying that this would just lead to girl having more sex. The "left" jumped all over this because of some flimsy ties he had to a pharmaceutical company. It was the stupid anti-vaccine dipshits that started crowing real loud about it too.

I'd rather that a few people listen to Rick Perry, who will admit that he's wrong about something, than that fucking moron Jenny McCarthy who still believes the repeatedly debunked vaccine-autism link and regularly spreads false information. The anti-vaccine twerps are more of a threat to healthcare than Rick Perry is. :/

"In Houston one recent day, a 17-year-old was in court after he and his girlfriend poured milk on each other. “She was mad at me because I broke up with her,” he said."

if you did this on the street, you could be charged with domestic violence and/or assault & battery. The guy is also the one that would likely be arrested in most cases. Be happy it was just a ticket in school.

And really, the middle of your school isn't the place to be involved in a physical altercation.

"“I’m all for consequences, but I think it could have been handled another way,” she said. She had no chance to mention her son’s attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and bipolar disorder, she said."

Oh yes, because that's always an excuse. "Oh, he has ADHD. He's bipolar." Letting that fly = special treatment. Treatment that minority kids and parents will bring up when their kids are the ones in court. Then the cries of racism start...

So everyone gets the same brush.

Low hanging fruit.

I wish they'd take out that Red Light Camera scam company called Redflex and ATS. Do something useful, lulzkids.

So what happens when the high crime areas just happen to be the areas with a higher density of black or hispanic residents? (Sadly, this is the case in many Bay Area cities - the stats reflect this year after year after year)

No. It's San Francisco. A lot of the people would be there for their Facebook photo op/check-in. Just like the anti-war protests that accomplished exactly diddly squat.

It's barely above slacktivism.

I was always amused by the heaps of love /. gave "Sealand." What a joke that was/is.

.. the people they sued (not including Democratic Underground.. I wonder what would have happened if they didn't rile up a bunch of bloggers by suing a liberal blog) have had a LOT of stress and financial hardship.

One of the people Righthaven sued is known to me. He's tapped out savings paying lawyers to defend against Righthaven's utter bullshit.

I hope the people at Righthaven choke on a huge bowl of dicks. Rotten thieving motherfuckers.

And we all know how end users love to click on stuff... this is exactly how the existing Android rootkits have been getting installed.

The RIAA also has other trolls like Dianne Feinstein and her Democrat hollywood friends behind them. :/ That's a big problem.

if you're going to wipe something off the internet, take out something that's just bad for the whole internet as it is: SORBS. Please obliterate them once and for all.

it is.. but it sure helped get a bunch of former RIAA lawyers (five so far) elected to positions in the Obama Administration...

"Charging the car at night when rates are low makes sense"

This is not the case with many many utility companies. The rates are the same regardless of the time of day.

My electric company is charging $0.09/kwh regardless of what time it is. No peak/off peak hours.

not a single fuck about us was given that day. But god forbid you forget "Secretary Appreciation Week" or whatever it is. :/

Back to the basement, cube trolls!

What continues to scare me are the numbers of people that still insist how awesome Google services are. Threads about email? "Just switch everything over to Gmail." Hosting? "Use Google Apps, it's awesome." Photos? "Use Picasa.." Phones? "Oh, get an Android phone. Apple is evil."

Google blew past evil and kept on going. They just did it right under everybody's nose.
