It's been, like, two and a half years. And you haven't taken Pudge's guns away.

It's not like he doesn't deserve it, and he's pretty much expecting you to do it anyway. And I'm pretty sure Pudge's guns have more useful things they could be doing. They could be given to our military to help defend our nation against terrorists. Or, even better, you could give them to poor people, to defend themselves when they're trying to vote.

As it is, I'm pretty sure the big fat paranoid idiot solely uses them as something for his fingers to stroke when he's downloading porn over the Internet. And that's not just creepy, it's also dangerous.

Thanks,

If you didn't understand my last JE, then this probably will help: http://squiggleslash.blogspot.com/2011/10/proud-to-be-american.html

...I have an overwhelming urge to call all my now former compatriots and tell them not to forget how we bailed them out in double-you double-you two.

I enjoyed writing this one:

I posted a long-ass comment about why the Fed uses "Core Inflation" rather than "Headline Inflation" in my live journal, before coming here and finding stuff that's even worse.

So, a comment, based upon reading a subthread by one of my "friends", and also comments that get posted to the same blogs I was complaining about in the above article:

You can't get out of a depression by having "deflation": you see, that's what a depression pretty much is.

T-Mobile was the last honest (well, insofar as a cellular operator can be honest) carrier. They even hosted forums on rooting your Android phones (and wished Cyanogen happy birthday on Twitter) for fuck's sake.

The bastards aren't even content to take over and slowly do their evil thing: AT&T hates T-Mobile customers so much they're even going to turn off 3G and "4G" (HSPA+) for TMo customers within a year of taking the reins.

If the merger goes ahead, I'm not really sure who to go with. Probably whoever's cheapest. Virgin Mobile maybe, or MetroPCS. The latter even has an LTE network. I'd make a comment about hoping the Obama admin quashes the merger on competition grounds, but I'm sore after working on the new house, and I'm not sure my sides can take it.

Has anyone actually got a reliable source regarding the Japanese reactors? Because, quite honestly, I'm even having difficulty getting stuff I see as reliable from the Bad Astronomer. When nobody seems to know if it's worse than Chernobyl, or safer than Three Mile Island (?), and the conflicting news changes by the hour. Hell, even the Japanese and US governments seem to disagree.

Short, hard, version: suck on it labor, you had it coming.

United we fall

One of his first executive orders or something, didn't he say something like "The United States does not torture"?

Response to the claim "Elections have consequences" after the Repugs took over the House: No, they don't.

BTW, I don't think even Jack Bauer would think they're taking the right approach with Manning. For all of his faults, TV's personification of Dick Cheney's conscience generally only tortured people when he needed information quickly to prevent an imminent loss of lives. Torturing anyone for allegedly embarrassing the government by leaking low level "secrets"? Actually part of me thinks there's even a chance Bauer would help Manning out.

On a separate note, I see it's even more difficult to find a "Post journal entry" button. Right now I have to type "slashdot.org/journal.pl" in the URL bar. How long before they remove journal.pl from Slashcode?
