redstocking steals home against yankees
Quoting from Scalia's recent Fuck/Fuck/Shit/Fuck opinion, which is quoting from an FCC ruling ...
The Commission determined, moreover, that the broadcast was “patently offensive” because the F-Word “is one of the most vulgar, graphic and explicit descriptions of sexual activity in the English language,” because “[i]ts use invariably invokes a coarse sexual image,” and because Bono’s use of the wordwas entirely “shocking and gratuitous.”
I, for one, believe the FCC needs to get out more. If they had ever seen and heard Andy Dick describing a rusty trombone, I think they'd worry a lot less about Bono's "fooking brilliant".
talk about buggy... very accommodating sort ultimately, and isnt that whats important in a relationship?
my highschool facebook friend posted this project today, an open source content management thingy. . .
my "your MoMA" jokes:
well, your MoMAs so dumb it thinks Claes Oldenburg is a planter in the sculpture garden.
your MoMA is so dumb when sailing though the gallery it always gives joseph beuys a wide berth.
your MoMA so dumb, it thought Sol Lewitt was a french comedian.

I'm on an email list-serv (remember those?) with a bunch of people. Some folks are casual users, so there's an occasional re-post of something that's already been hashed through. The standard response is this:

Been a while since my last adventure sports post when I was skiing / fixed wing flying in the Alps, but today was so nice I decided to take my bike out for a ride.

The blue-tooth in my cell phone died. The headphone jack died a while ago. So I can't legally use it while driving. I'm a flip phone advocate, which narrows the options. I can't get Blackberry's new flip phone unless I move to Canada. Further, at the house I get only two carriers, so I only get to choose from phones they support. I'm seriously considering one of these.

Louie CK in Baghdad Scroll way down past all the pictures (except the last) to see his description of the comedy routine and aftermath. Awesome.
Long and technical, but I think this gets at the heart of it: AIG: before CDS there was Reinsurance. Shorter version: AIG wasn't mismanaged, and they didn't merely "assume too much risk"; AIG was a criminal enterprise.
I am so mad about all of this. I actually feel more helpless now then in the run up to the Iraq war. At least war is something people can sort of understand. Credit default swaps are not going to be groked by the general public. The Obama administration is obviously in the pocket of the financial sector (could it be otherwise?) And nothing is going to be done about the largest theft in the history of the world. The measly two trillion or so we wasted in Iraq is nothing compared to this.
