How do I know, he asked me if I was investing in gold or selling gold. OMG, this guy, even though he is a landscaper, or some such thing, has three kids, gets his health care from the state because he doesn't make much money, recevies food stamps, and aid to go to school. But he always rants about ObamaCare, socialism, fascism, etc! What? Yes you are thinking the same thing I am. However, Beck is ripping off poor folk, who don't know any better, and I feel bad for them. While at the same time, i wonder if I should fire him for being such a numbnuts.
Oh well, I never fire anyone. So at least he has that.
Gawker dropped a line to neo-Nazi, JT Ready, to find his thoughts about yesteray's Court decision dealing the Arizona's borders, you know, the "Let Me See You Papers Please", legislation. Incredibly, he spells almost everything correcty in his response. That was quite unexpected. If you do find the "one" error, let me know, you just might get a prize!
And in News Oddities today, it's all about a bear in New Hampshire, who not only walked into a kitchen but stole a stuffed bear on his way out. Awesome, so damn awesome.
Glenn Greenwald is taking a break from writing articles about Hating the Presdient with the White Hot Intensity of a Kajillion Suns, probably to write an entire book about his hatred, political tribes, LOTE voters, his love of Ron Paul and Libertarianism, you know what he writes about daily. Every article is virtually the same:
-Corporate control of media
- Government control of media
- Military control of government
- "Empire" vs constitutionality
- Globalism and resource control
- Public themes for Imperialism
- the merging of the two major US political parties
- Elite Consensus vs Public Discourse
Oh I digress.
John Thune can't do math, and screws up his own plan to reduce the deficit.
And a crazy interview with Jeffrey Lord, defending his thesis that Shirley Sherrod, is a lying racist. Shirley Sherrod is going to sue Andrew Breitbart, well good for her.
This has to be David Bowie's proudest moment, pending the manned Mars expedition.

President Obama on Sunday told the graduating class at Morehouse College, the country's pre-eminent historically black college, there is "no time for excuses" for this generation of African-American men and that it was time for their generation to step up professionally and in their personal lives.
[....] The president connected his own path to the White House to the work of King and other African-American leaders of that generation. But Obama also conceded that at times as a young man he wrongly blamed his own failings "as just another example of the world trying to keep a black man down."
"We've got no time for excuses — not because the bitter legacies...
Prompted by Peggy Noonan's claim in The Wall Street Journal that "we are in the midst of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate," Andrew Sullivan steps forward to defend Pres. Obama's honor. "Can she actually believe this?," he asks incredulously.

Congress is ramping up a new round of sanctions against Iran, ignoring the Obama administration's request to let diplomacy run its course.
In back-to-back hearings this week, lawmakers on key House and Senate panels put the State and Treasury departments on notice that their patience is wearing thin after the latest round of talks last month failed to produce a deal. Both chambers have legislative efforts in the works – the House foreign affairs panel will vote next week – but the administration is warning against any moves that could undermine international support for the existing sanctions against Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program [....]

An article that summarizes the recent work of Ya-Ping Zhang, a geneticist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who has led an international network of scientists who have compared pieces of DNA from different canines which is pointing to the theory that dogs domesticated themselves.
But the article's message is not just what it first appears to be. When you get to the concluding paragraphs there are some real though provokers:
[....] SLC6A4 may have played a crucial part in this change, because serotonin influences aggression.
To test these ideas,...
JT Ready "spells almost everything correctly"? Them's fightin' words, tm. Let's see: "citizens' rights, asinine, air-conditioned" for starters. Then there are the random capitalization errors: "Circuit Court of Appeals, narco-terrorists." I used to do this for a living. What's the prize?
And I hate to nag, tm, but you're still not spellchecking your own text. Just sayin'.
