News: Geeks to FINALLY testify on SOPA/PIPA implications

There are days when I just want to throw my hands up, give up on all my dreams and careers....and run for Congress. I swear to be a one-term Senator. Be a rules stickler and call out any Senator to provide sources and evidence for any claim clearly put to them by someone else. Oh...and overturn (or at least sponsor the bill to overturn) all of the technology-related catastrophes (read: acts of Congress) in the last, say, 10 years.

Techno-phobes in Congress. The whole lot of them. Why are the 'expert' witnesses to testify before Congress on technology related issues always executives of organizations which have nothing to do or entirely avoid technology advances? Seriously?

2USCCA: Rejecting police applicants for high IQ OK

...W...T...F??? Systematically getting average people to be authorities. Actively refusing people who are intelligent from serving as a public authority.

News: Bachmann ends presidential 'campaign'

Hurray she can't be President. Damn, she be running (and somehow keeping) her spot in Congress.

News: First FDA-approved is just caffiene and aspirin

Same thing as drinking one cup of coffee and taking two aspirin. Seriously. I can see why it was approved by the FDA. Dissolves in water like an Alka-Seltzer. So that's different.

Maybe it's good for the crowd, like me, who doesn't like coffee? I just trade the coffee for Mountain Dew, though...so I'm not sure this is better...

News: Polish art students hangs own art in museum

Awesome. The museum reacted appropriately. They kept the art, hung it in the cafe and is now auctioning it off. Brilliant.
