Disgraced pol Weiner eyes mayor or public advocate run.

Really.

One might, if so inclined, go here to "Write Weiner" ( Yes, really: "Write Weiner". He has no clue: why not "Contact Anthony"? because life is, apparently, one dick joke after another) and offer him an opinion.

Not even for dog catcher.

Strauss-Kahn. Again.

By nothere on Fri, 05/04/2012 - 10:51am |

In other news, reports that another hotel burned down around Strauss-Kahn were met with surprise from Kahn, who alleges he had no idea those were flames consuming his bedroom: "Ze hotel burned down? Mon Dieu! I had no idea the smoke was from fire! This is terreeble! Was anyone hurt?"

Prosecutors, investigators, and other authorities during a press conference in front the latest pile of smoldering rubble at which Strauss-Kahn stayed defended their inability: "We do not have a "smoking gun" linking Kahn to this latest conflagration."

The last word on Limbaugh

By nothere on Mon, 03/05/2012 - 9:02pm |

His latest, about a double standard, is revelatory.

Limbaugh, having never before encountered a standard, is seeing double after self-propelling headlong into his first ever.

Limbaugh, Clear Channel, Bain & Romney, and finally...the Clear Channel decency initiative

"Clear Channel's Premiere Radio Networks Inc. hosts Limbaugh's program, one of the country's most popular talk radio shows. "

CIQ, FOSS, Speech

Over here KGB999 talks about the CIQ issue. I just noticed that the day after his post that the Software Freedom Law Center submitted comments "...to the U.S. Copyright Office proposing an exemption from the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's anti-circumvention provisions."

It looks like some agency hit a water supply SCADA. A SCADA, sort of like the ones on planes.

In this water supply issue, a pump was damaged by turning it on and off an excessive number of times.

A troubled mind

By nothere on Tue, 11/08/2011 - 8:40pm |

As most of you know, Cain has mentioned "...a troubled woman...".

And, as most of you know, women who are almost raped in a parking lot find that experience to be troubling.

I wonder how long it will take before this turns into some sort of seriously unworthy blaxploitation. Seriously: I can almost hear Trouble Man as it is.

The soundtrack to this Caindawg production is gonna suck, though.

Just saying.
