cheese it, the cops!

all the birds in southern york county are living on my porch.

it is frigging insane out here. new freedom reports 17 inches of snow...on top of 27 inches from last friday/saturday.. wind picking up and it keeps snowing harder. baltimore is shut down, and in fact i think it'll be a hon city katrina. only one thing to do. loot. start with a gun shop.

i find the notes on sarah palin's palm charming. but then, i would.

i still hate the who. the songs don't make sense to me; certainly not as rock n roll. it's this crashing and bellowing. does it mean anything? what's good about that noodling synth riff on teenage wasteland? or all the others.

philosophy is concerned with the eternal questions, the questions that for conceptual reasons can't be answered. questions like: did you get my last email?

well two feet or more of snow here in new freedom pa, and coming down hard. dayum.

now this is what i call disturbing. the idea is to "protect privacy": no doubt that's the central mission of the nsa, har har.

Snipers

Spamiola-Reporting from Sana'a

Yesterday all the men in my family went to the hospital to visit our neighbor's son. He is 18, and started his mandatory military service several months ago, which apparently made him qualified to go fight the Huthis. They were sent to Sa'ada city, which the Yemeni government claims has been "cleaned" a long time ago, but these teenage soldiers were open targets for the Huthi snipers. Our neighbor got two shots in him, and barely escaped death. The government has no idea what it's doing; and someone's son has to suffer for it.

this kind of stuff is hilarious and it's going to start making itself apparent everywhere, because when the doubts began to arise, people started actually to check. the science was utter crap until it was ok to call it into question. the smugness of having all the decisive science on your side against your irrational monstrous opponents was bought at a certain...price, namely that the science itself is a bunch of yackety smackety. the certainty is inversely proportional to the critical consciousness, of course, while the moral self-approval isn't proportional to anything, being infinite and all.

thanks, druff!

once this ksm trial fell out in nyc, it flaked out everywhere. i don't think they will ever bring him to a criminal trial. it's way too late. first of all, he was tortured in custody. second, the president has said he is guilty and will be executed. put him on trial and the case might well be thrown out. and when it comes right down to 'we're going to do it right here, in glen rock pa!' everyone's going to go all nimby on you.
