I'm moving to a theory that carpet bombing with falsehood is all the Progressives have left. A good, but painful data point on the road to recovery.

My employer pretty-well insisted that I get a certification. They went so far as to pay for the training and the first exam attempt.

To that end, I'm working on GCUX through SANS. So far, so good. It's pretty interesting.

From what I'm reading about how to prepare for the exam itself, it would be to my benefit to prepare a thorough index- something in the area of 30-50 pages long. O_O

Does anyone have any experience with that sort of thing? How does one know what should be in the index and what should not?

...the more they stay the same. I think.

A little over a year ago, I wrote about how I stopped playing WoW and took up ST:TOR. Now, I don't even play that.

Things have been a bit hectic at my house- My wife's computer died (constant, unpredictable reboots and a corrupted hard drive), so she's taken to playing WoW on my system. She raids often, now that she's found a guild that does that sort of thing in the morning. My sleeping period has me getting up late morning. By then, I have an errand or two to do before I start getting ready for work. Rinse, repeat.

I need a vacation.

No big deal, though: vets don't vote correctly, so they don't matter.

I've met the lady. She really is all that. Great husband, too.

Standing by for the usual suspects to denounce any attempt at reform in 3. . .oh, you know the drill.

I forgot it was silly season. Mind you, it is the off-year one, the Winter Olympics to Superbowl Tuesday's buffet of awesomeness, so one really cares, including me.

Still, though, props to Brat for achieving trivia question notoriety. It's almost a shame his votes (should he actually make it to Congress) will be in line with his party waaaaaaaaaaay more often than not.

And congrats to the Democrats as well. Always nice when the other team commits an unforced error.

That much-obituaried Tea Party strikes again. Standing by for fustakrakich to scoff at attempts to oust the incumbent deadwood in 3. . .2. . .

Thinking about jumping ship from my cheap but reliable 3GS into the android pool. I'm assuming it's all about the hardware, right? Apart from the Samsung offerings, which everybody raves about (yet I'm not a huge fan of the form factor), has anyone got any recommendations?

How DARE this disgusting thought criminal think he retains freedom of contract, and the capacity to refuse to bake anything for anyone for any reason?
Clearly he is some bigoted Christianist freak who needs to be put down like a rabid dog, in the service of Holy Progress.

Apparently they phoned in the applause for #OccupyResoluteDesk's phoned-in speech. May his successor be less phony.

Barack Obama is a fascist who is authorizing the use of the US Military against US Citizens ON US SOIL.

Link this story with the militarization of Federal Agencies (such as the Post Office, the DHS Hollowpoint ammo buy, and others, and you can see HOW he's doing this.

If you aren't concerned about this... you aren't paying attention. And if you're not paying attention, when the shit hits the fan, you'll deserve what you get.

The drink entails 60 shots of espresso, along with many other flavor shots. Business Insider dubs it the âoeSexagintuple Vanilla Bean Mocha Frappuccino,â totaling $54.75. Of course, for Andrew, the drink was free.
I just can't wait for Single Payer health care, so we can all pay for the chain-reaction meltdown for 'smart' folks that do stuff like this.

PELOSI: Well of course I wanted single-payer, and I wanted a public option.
Problem is, you've cheated the 9th & 10th Amendments (in a century-long tradition of such) to get there.
Down with you, botox-face.
