Wow, if you were a 12-year-old, in 1997, wanting to punk someone that a government agency had taken control of their World Wide Web Homepage, this is pretty much the graphic you’d make, in MS Paint.
I believe…
Rick Santorum’s wife and kids literally have a picture of their stillborn sister fetus pinned to their sweater-vests. Tea and sweater-vests…seriously why are they stealing all of our things?
Copywrongs…
I wrote about our insane pop-music copyright laws, and the relative interests of Dolly Parton and Whitney Houston here.
On the bright side
Al Sharpton is some sort of genius. Why doesn’t MSNBC give him a 2-hr Bromance show with Pat Buchanan?

OMG, watching Iowa caucus coverage 4 years later is such a terrible democracy hangover. At this point in his term, Mr. Obama, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte had enacted a constitutional coup and crowned himself emperor.

In case you were still harboring sentimental notions about democracy…
OMG, I can’t wait! I can only hope that whoever did this had the presence of mind to put in that legendary scene where Maggie is said to have spanked Christopher Hitchens on the floor of the House of Commons. Le Vice Anglais!

Christopher Hitchens, Vaclav Havel, now Kim Jong-il. Statesmen, madmen, prose stylists all. : (
Conspiracy theory: I am a Kardashian Truther.
Ok, so i’ve just read pretty much everything in the public record and as much as I could get from several Freedom of Information Act requests, and let me just declare, here and now, that it’s my belief that it is the staging of the Kim Kardashian/Kris Humphries wedding that is being staged. Those two obviously had deep, true feelings for each other, suffered a very traumatic breakup/apotheosis of those feelings post-ceremony, and now their respective “people” are tainting the future historiography of this episode with innuendo, false statements, and even false documents to suggest that all of it was just super-clever Baudrillardian, or even McLuhanesque, mass-media performance art. No one, and certainly not Kim or Kris, is that clever, but more importantly, the money—the balance of interests—just doesn’t add up. I have the files to prove it, and will be dropping them off to my Neil Sheehan, once I determine who that is, and the time is right.
American federalism as imagined by euro-federalists (and vice-versa):
“The break up would be a crisis of apocalyptic proportions beyond our financial system. Once the logic of ‘each man for himself’ takes hold, can we really trust everyone to act communitarian and resist the temptation to settle scores in other areas, such as trade? Would you really bet the house on the proposition that if the Euro zone breaks up, the single market, the cornerstone of the European Union, will definitely survive? After all, messy divorces are more frequent than amicable ones. I have heard of a case in California in which a couple spent $100,000 disputing custody of the family cat.”
