Going Out Of Their Way To Hurt Our Military

Specifically, by changing the existing plans so that military members will not be paid in the event of a gov't shut down.


Yeah, they really love the troops, right?

Oh, by the way, the GOP is trying to put through a special bill to make SURE that the military is paid, since they will be forced to work no matter what-- guess who's blocking it?

 Three guesses, and the first two don't count.

Why I Love Blogs

If you have been following along with things here in California, you may know we have our own little Climategate brewing in the Golden State.

Yesterday, we directed your attention to Leslie's post on Dr. James Enstrom of UCLA who is fighting to get his job back after he blew the whistle on what he believed was a fraudulent CARB (California Air Resources Board) study that has been used as justication for jobs-killing CARB regulations and which was authored by a CARB board member with diploma mill doctoral credentials.

1) This story is almost assuredly not being covered by the national media.  (I can't say for sure, since we don't have cable and I haven't had cable in at least six years. Thus far, no loss.)
2) This much information would take about half an hour to convey in TV media, it would be mangled and they'd put in a bunch of false information.
3) There's more.

To go off his point lower down: the above isn't a story, but conservatives saying 'this is BS' is a story.

I HATE April 1st.

You can't tell anyone something important, if you live with someone with a "sense of humor" you end up cleaning up a ton of messes, if you have "just joking" friends or people who claim they are you end up with property damage that can get really expensive.

A big excuse to be a nasty, lying piece of coprolite with some sort of social approval.

There are a few funny jokes, but too many can't get the difference between "funny joke" and "being an ass."
If I have an urge to shove hay down your throat when I find out the truth, you're being a jackass. (Or a jenny ass. Heaven forbid I leave out women, since they tend towards the vicious on the rare times they do get into it.)

If you feel like accusing me of not having a sense of humor, save your time-- I've been accused of that before, and I don't care. If not finding death, dismemberment, destruction, disgusting actions, painful lies, stupidity, causing people to do themselves harm and ruining the one frakking indulgence I am allowed to have while pregnant "funny" means that I have no sense of humor, fine-- keep your ridiculous definition.
 I'll stick with wordplay, allusion and teasing.

Oh, and the next person to "jokingly" fake hitting me with a car is going to need new headlights.
