Assholes: Sotomayor’s GOP questioners.
Asshole: Jeff Sessions, still.
Assholes? GE claims to go green by releasing a suite of devices to monitor energy usage. As I see this, it means, I buy more crap using more energy to see how much energy I’m using. There’s real equipment that really reduces sage, but I don’t this crap as being that. It is a typical corporatist “solution”: solution in name only in order to be a profits generator and do absolutely no more good than that. Me, I’d slap solar panels or a wind turbine on my roof before I’d buy crap like this and know I’m reducing non-renewable usage significantly.
Assholes: The growing police state that is the U.K. (bet they wish they had a constitution and bill of rights now, maybe) and the lazy dopes citizens who allow it.
Assholes: Two more vile rightists identified here.
Asshole: Amazon; sells book, steals it back when publisher whines.
Asshole: The RIAA. Old news, latest is here.
Economic policy; the super-short version. Just read it.
The N.Y.P.D. updates to typewriters.
One of the first truths I learned (as opposed to the overwhelming majority of truths I’ve yet to learn or internalize) was that many academic superstars were not-terribly bright grinds. And now it looks like a number of them are just autistic (which isn’t to say they shouldn’t be loved or that they’re worthless). Flash: Academic stars without social skills won’t do the world as much good as dopes with skills. The best it can get you is the mixed blessing of Windows.
Soon-to-be ex-Gov. Sarah Palin, did you cause this?
Prof. Krugman is wrong about this because the Big Media has not yet gotten the message.
Recipe of the day: Put your day-long parked vehicle to good use, take advantage of it to save energy and come out from the office to a yummy fresh treat.
