In a rare bit of good news, Jeff Huber says it’s bullshit that Obama has decided to send more troops to Afghanistan.

Glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com’s owner gave Beck the URL after winning the court case, but the content’s all still at 1990truth.org

Oddly, rickperryrapedandmurderedamanin2004.com is still available (I would have expected Kay Bailey Hutchinson’s ratfuckers to have bought this one up and redirected it to The New Yorker by now)

Steve King apparently never tires of being Steve fucking King, lying douchebag

If this is the suck up coverage of Sarah Palin’s book tour . . . .

Meanwhile, I just installed the Mac OS 10.6.2 upgrade this morning and am very glad I did.

The mini is running much better now.

Now, if only Firefox would put out another upgrade to deal with the growing incomplete page loads issue.

I love both The Raw Story and the Electronic Freedom Foundation, which is why it’s so annoying that both went after Obama’s DOJ for a decision made by a Mukasey-appointed U.S. Attorney.

Privacy watchdog Electronic Frontier Foundation has released an extensive report on a “bogus” attempt by a US attorney in Indiana to get Indymedia.us, an independent left-leaning news site, to hand over all the data it had about all the users who visited the site on a particular day.

Neither TRS or EFF identifies which Indiana U.S. Attorney was responsible, but after a little digging I learned that it was Bush holdover Timothy M. Morrison.

Bush USAs refused to resign when Obama became President in record numbers, but I have yet to see a mainstream news article about it, or any numbers on what percentage of USAs are Bush bitter enders like Mary Beth “Tommy Chong’s Bongs” Buchanan, the hack’s hack who terrorizes Pittsburgh with her fundamentalist Dixie GOPulism.

More irritating, even Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey picked up on the Bush angle immediately. He noted that this DOJ action was initiated by Morrison before Holder was confirmed, and also notes that it’s not to the Right’s advantage for Morrison style rules to be used to let the DOJ regulate news aggregation sites.

But mostly I want to see an article explaining exactly who is running the DOJ’s “field offices,” and why any Bush appointees are still in place.

Sadly, none of them were armed or intent on violence.

This is the fourth day of the 46th week of 2009, and today is the centennial of Robert Ryan’s birth. Not the worst birthday coincidence imaginable for Veterans Day.
