Thought on OBL

So, Osama bin Laden is apparently dead now, and I've been trying to think of something interesting or insightful to say about it.

But after thinking about it for a day, I realize there really isn't anything to say. Osama bin Laden is dead, and nothing has changed. Such is where Our Betters have left us after ten years of war and destruction and oppression and injustice. Everyone might have been celebrating last night, but when they woke up this morning, the world was essentially the same as it had been the morning before. OBL is just another body towering over the totalitarian abyss we find ourselves trapped in today, and one more body doesn't matter.

also: I won't believe he's dead until I see the long-form death certificate.

also: Osama bin Laden's death is al we qaeda hoped for.

Governor Mark Whitford

I can't explain why I like this.

You suck, corn growers

Corn Subsidies** in the United States totaled $73.8 billion from 1995-2009. In 2009, the top 10 percent of recipients were paid 61 percent of all USDA subsidies.

That whole website is depressing.

Robert Byrd could play the fiddle

The world would be better if more politicians spent their time as mediocre bluegrass musicians as opposed to narcissistic sociopaths.

I possess a sort of sociopathic narcissism that makes me think that I should be in charge of everyone

"My soul is terrifying"

tip over and capsize

Surely this is a prank for April 1.



No, apparently not.

Copyright

Everything you need to know:

Copyright, like most rules governing intellectual property in this country, is way too complicated.

Asset forfeiture

So, you can lose your property without ever being charged for a crime:

Over the past three decades, it has become routine in the United States for state, local, and federal governments to seize the property of people who were never even charged with, much less convicted of, a crime. Nearly every year, according to Justice Department statistics, the federal government sets new records for asset forfeiture. And under many state laws, the situation is even worse: State officials can seize property without a warrant and need only show “probable cause” that the booty was connected to a drug crime in order to keep it, as opposed to the criminal standard of proof “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Instead of being innocent until proven guilty, owners of seized property all too often have a heavier burden of proof than the government officials who stole their stuff.

As with the case a year ago involving the girl strip-searched for ibuprofen, that there's even a controversy about this indicates that America's experiment with self-government has finally failed.

"Go run for mayor somewhere else"

I wish somebody in Congress had done that during Obama's healthcare speech. That would have been awesome.

Mayor Konop handled that about as well as possible, I think.
