I don’t know who the fuck stopbadware.org is, but they’ve redirected my Firefox browser twice today and I want it to fucking stop.
First they told me Haaretz was a badware site this morning, now they’re telling me Balloon Juice is. Bull fucking shit. [UPDATE: Stopbadware has BJ under siege, but only if you're on Firefox.]
I’ve gone into the preferences and told Firefox it CANNOT stop me from accessing a site. I’m on a fucking Mac, no harm will come to me because I don’t run Windows. I don’t know what this glitch is, but some anti-malware fucks just fucked with me in a way no virus or malware ever has.
Stopbadware.org can kiss my Mac loving ass. You want to stop malware? Firebomb Microsoft until they agree to stop shipping out buggy operating systems. That will stop malware. Not cheesy authoritarian dogooders with buggy good intentions.

Just subscribed to Matt Taibbi’s True/Slant blog, and if you’re into Goldman Sachs, this is the place to be:
Eliot Spitzer on Goldman Sachs
Draw your own conclusions about the distance between Goldman Sachs and the US government
On the “everyone was doing it” Excuse
NYSE covering for Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs is Reeling Under Public Pressure
The last one is the most current and deals with speculation that Goldman Sachs has been front-running their customers, i.e., executing their own trades before they do customer trades based on their knowledge of their customer trades. In other words they use your money to make money for themselves, sometimes at your expense. Last I recall, there are about three books of the Old Testament devoted to why God hates it when you do this shit.
When money is used to make money, suddenly everything is about money, and only money. How exactly has that improved our lives? And how have we been enriched by the process of creating bigger and bigger sandpiles for some?

James Ridgeway with a timely reminder that Sotomayor is objectively to Souter’s right. Still, that doesn’t excuse the WaPost taking a picture of Sotomayor doubled up in laughter from Al Franken’s Perry Mason questions and then captioning the photo, “Judge Sonia Sotomayor endures a third day of confirmation hearings.”
Up the road a ways from the snark-filled Post, the WSJ gives space to John Yoo to lie some more about his record. ThinkProgress points out that Yoo never mentions that he refused to cooperate with the investigations that are ripping on his dishonest memos. Can we trust corporate-owned media? I don’t think so. Not on the important issues.
Even less so on the really important issues. This is a fairly stunning link, btw. After China shut down Twitter and mobile phone services to silence the “new democratic media,” they then let the establishment Western reporters into Xinjiang.
I think that says a lot. Real reporters should feel shamed.

Hilarious. Because the U.S. disregarded three separate WTO rulings regarding Antigua’s right to host online gambling, Antigua is now selling subscriptions to online music and movie streaming. $10/month for either, $18/month for both.

I’d hate to close out the day’s blogging without mentioning how gratifying/irritating today’s questions to Sotomayor were. The Republican Senators were obsequious, but couldn’t stop trying to stick a shiv between her ribs.
She’ll be with them on important issues, but they can’t let go of the fact that she won’t be with them on their bullshit social issues.
Ricci is bullshit. Opposition to gay marriage is bullshit. Opposition to the public option is bullshit.
Increasingly, all they’ve got is bullshit. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

“I’m the slime oozing…out---- of your___ TeVeeeeeeeeeeeee SET”
“Increasingly, all they’ve got is bullshit. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.”
Really? All of um or just the red stripes?
The cheap seats even spill the beer with thunderous grumbling applause in-between full mooning atop the bleachers as every bag of popcorn and peanuts is in the air and onto the field. The breasts are becoming exposed and the humidity is driving the frivolity of the humility to expose the chase for legitimate.
The rest of the stadium is shocked, shocked I say with all at that ruckus “over there” in the outfield. Our team is at bat “chill the fuck out” they want to say but are unable to get motivated enough to ponder the program as the game unfolds.
The heels are again stomping in-between innings MORE BROKEN BATS, MORE BROKEN BATS and far more pitches that challenge and break the bats that have been used time and again with the blessings of civility to bloody the neighborhood infield.
Field the fucking ball as the head injury potential is only the beginning of reality.
This shit never happens here right? This is major league baseball, a family affair that costs more than a full percentage of the poverty line wage to enjoy in the box seats for a family of four. It might be worth it though?!

“Please go home” AND SO THEY DID…I just have to wonder what happens when the only home left is the real cheap seats that no longer exist and the debate really gets started.
These silly American riots so seemingly focused yet without more than a cell phone or TV camera to make them real…I do wonder what true hunger will taste like? Will it be with enough anger to eat?
YES WE CAN! so we hope…
Do you figure Sotomoyer will be in the majority or minority on the future votes that challenge the generational status of capitol and the minions who enable it? Perhaps there will be no minority. Simply more rhetoric covered in pollen without wings.
Is there real debate? So I will: inside a big fat stogie-ish of a tobacco leaf, on the streets, go roast one this weekend and everyone will know and no one will say a fucking thing!
Ready to let it go to have peace or simply keep pretending there is more than one team and it is only a few drunkards amongst the thousands trying to echo across the static Cheers for a real game? Better yet count me very, very into opiates and in hiding until three seasons into “what do we do now“?
Make the kool aide and then drink it!
The vendors have stopped serving the cheap seats between innings and puzzlement and quandary are about to start as there are three beer trucks are parked just outside the gate. I do wonder what happens when ham radio comes back out of necessity!
Hey just a thought…. I had a good nap today!

Deaky
Is it just me or a your tickling for a riot.
07/16/2009 at 5:33 pm
good & plenty
A riot or several hundred could be a twisted sort of fun I must admit that but…
The riot control is covered and highly over funded laying in wait as unfortunately we are a service based restless and the malted frosty machine is not up to the task of the physics nor the hydraulic potential of true shenanigans and many of the passive empathetic observers only eat green and would be a bit taken aback with the odor and true order of skilled labor. Threatening the sense of sensible or something like that anyway.
Just daydreaming amongst pondering what happens when the debate begins…
I could still be sleeping though.
Beside I am a speculum sort of guy who hangs out with speculum enjoying women the tickling thing does not really do it for us.

One maple leaf for anyone who has this in their cell phone for when the PoLiCe ask “what are you doing here…and your scratch your skull and say… “Well, I am just here!” then hand them your phone.
