– Yes, bikes can be bad drivers too.

– Looking forward to specially colored bus lanes.

– This is kind of old, but (a) thank goodness Musab Mohammad Masmari plead guilty, even if it wasn’t to a hate crime and (b) the history of the attacks on Neighbours was interesting and scary.

– The story is a welcome corrective to the bromide that “government should be run like a business”–as though business is some unassailable fortress of morality.

– What I love most about this story is the assumption that aliens would want to be baptized Catholic. I mean maybe, but it seems like they’ve got their own thing going on. Did they come to Earth just to get baptized? Do they not have their own belief systems?

– Get better soon, Kathleen Hanna

    As far as the Pope and aliens goes, I’m beginning to think that our major religions arose due to our early ancestors’ contacts with extraterrestrials. It’s all a result of people trying to make sense out of something they can’t understand. A massive joke has been played on us all, and we can’t get over it.

    Glenn Greenwald has a new book out. He’s on fire!

    See the Democracy Now! website for two great interviews.

    Revelations include intercepting network gear, implanting bugs on them, re-sealing and sending them on to the surveillance target..

    But the best is yet to come in the July time-frame: a revealing of nsa surveillance targets INSIDE the U.S. people that asshole emperor Keith Alexander call “radicalizers”..

    How much you want to bet folks who attend NetRoots Nation are “targets” but tea-bagger are strangely absent?

    Reading through the press on Greenwald’s book tour I found something very funny..

    Back in the day it was pretty strange to find our trolls crying over a deceased beltway journalist:

    Little Ricky Dumbass:

    Russert was far and away the best interviewer and didn’t pussyfoot around. He’d slam both Dems and Republicans if they wavered from a position. Olbermann and Matthews should learn a thing or two about the objective journalism that Russert practiced, but that would require putting down their DNC pom poms.

    The public lost a true stalwart in journalism yesterday.

    The Pooper:

    One thing that made Tim Russert a good egg was that he was a real guy – no blow dryers need apply.

    And he seemed to get along well with people on all sides of the spectrum because he never curried favor or coddled.

    It’s genuinely sad when a quality guy passes well before his time. He was five-months and one-day younger than me, and I’m sure my cardiologist will make note of that when next I see him for a Pro-Time.

    Puddymoron:

    And another thing lefties. Tim Russert had enormous credibility. If you remember (well it’s been over 24 hours) when Tim declared Barack Obama the Democratic nominee during MSNBC’s coverage of the North Carolina and Indiana primaries last month, his words carried much extra weight because the he was generally considered the top broadcast journalist in Washington. Not Wolfie, not Bob Sleeper, and certainly not George Step.

    It’s a sad day he died bacause all we have now are left leaning Moonbat!s left on the libtard MSM.

    Interesting – you ‘d think these always wrong wing tools were crying at the passing of Limbaugh!

    HOWEVER! What did Glenn Greenwald just say about our trolls dearly departed Tim Russert:

    Why Tim Russert was so overrated:

    You know, like everyone was petrified of him. When he died, Lewis Lapham described him as the overaccommodating head waiter at some really swanky restaurant who’s just really good at ass-kissing every rich person who comes into the door. And that was Tim Russert—which is why they all loved Tim Russert, right? Because the benefit of Tim Russert was that not only did he let them control the message, but he cast the appearance that they were subjected to really rigorous questioning. So it was the extra bonus of propagandizing while convincing the public that they weren’t being propagandized. And so I think all those TV hosts do that, and I think that most major newspapers are incredibly deferential to high-level government officials, and especially to military and intelligence officials.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Well said Glenn!

    I haven’t been here for awhile. Life sometimes gets in the way. Are there any Republicans to bash here anymore?

    Hey, they went from ‘we are center and only significance of the Mother-Fuckin’ universe’ to ‘if Aliens are out there they can be Catholics’ in a millenia or so. That’s a sub four mile in religious progression.

    It appeared that by the beginning of summer, the VIA Rail train from Montreal to Halifax, the Ocean, would be making it’s last run. CN Rail was going to abandon a key stretch of track that the Ocean was it’s only train, passenger or freight. Well, it appears that Ottawa is coming to the rescue, at the 11th hour. Wonder if the Tories saw votes disappearing was one reason.

    Looks like Swiss Voters are going to reject the minimum wage proposal. This would have set a national minimum wage at 22 Francs an hour, roughly $25 an hour US. The Fighter jet purchase referendum, once a shoo in for the opponents of the plan to purchase SAAB Grippen’ s, is now too close to predict.

    @12 They left out the part where he believes that only his religious beliefs can justify breaking laws. All others should be thrown in jail for being heretics.

    Solar Panels tough enough to drive on.

    If they lived up to the hype, I’d love to see them on every flat surface we have covered up with concrete and asphalt. Roads, driveways, parking lots, sidewalks, bike lanes, etc. We can use the profits from the electricity to pay for collectivizing Comcast.

    Religious Belief Justifies Breaking any Laws. Republican Congressman.

    We know where this is coming from. They love the constituion, but only when it doesn’t go against them. So make religion your excuse to keep the Gays away.

    I guess murder is ok if religion justifies it. “Stand your Bible”

    @15 – There is hope that some people want to make a better difference in life, then you have the teabaggers and Rethuglicans.

    Check out PBS Frontline’s new documentary on the surveillance state..

    No trolls, Obama doesn’t look good in this.. No one who enables these types of privacy abuses that are so beyond the pale should come out as some kind of hero.

Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
