Heard on NPR
I’d find the story, but who knows how long my internet connection will work. The FCC denied the acquisition of T-Mobile by ATT. Whoo hoo! However, they said that ATT likely wouldn’t stop trying. Fuckers.

Fuck Yeah Drug Policy: …what’s the real difference... →
…what’s the real difference between legal drugs and illegal drugs? Some people think that only illegal drugs are habit-forming. Yet legal drugs can be just as addictive as illegal drugs. Just ask anyone who has tried to quit smoking, go off caffeine, or kick to Oxycontin habit.
So is there…

Strange Dreams
OK, so last night I had this very strange (but immensely wonderful) dream. In my dream, I was involved in a very intimate relationship with Keith Olbermann!
Have I been watching him too long? I do think he’s extraordinarily sexy - his intelligence, his humor, etc. Good grief.

At a recent book signing at Joint Base Lewis McChord, Rumsfeld was holding a “book...

Machiavellian Two-Headed Monster
This is so reprehensible there are no words I can think of to adequately condemn its dark-heartedness and soulessness.
I first heard of it on KO’s show the other night and more details are now coming out. It involves a scheme that Rick Perry and former Senator Phil Gramm (both of Texas) cooked up to make money off the deaths of retired Texas teachers. Gramm was working for USB, a huge Swiss...

Here's why I'm really worried about NYC
They fucking freaked out over the “tornado” they had last year where very few people were in danger for a only a few minutes. Lets not mention that their infrastructure is so old and delicate and that they only have a few bridges and tunnels to escape if things go sour. What happens when millions of people lose access to fresh water (who aren’t prepared/used to it)?
