Why the fuck are we in Iraq again?

Losing net neutrality is like “being robbed in your sleep” because–unlike say the GWOT, which everybody knows about, whatever their opinion on its merits–at the moment the full range of advantages of net neutrality belong to relatively few, including members of the progressive blogosphere. Unlike most people we know what stands to be lost. And that therefore means, for the moment anyway, this is our issue. In a better world the blogosphere supercedes the lazy and corruptly Romanov MSM. But we’re not there yet. And if we lose net neutrality it’s something we’re not likely to see. That genuinely terrifies me. The culture war is fought on many fronts.

A. All you have to do is look at a picture of Karl Rove, and you’ve got your answer, Dahling!

Today’s my birthday! Happy to have it! 66
I’m thanking God I wasn’t born on the 6th.

Someone told me that they saw me at the YK at Las Vegas, had pic to prove it. (It was Jane, not me!) How’s that for sharing!

Well, Christy, I see where goatboy is continuing his whirlwind tour of europe, and speaking in Budapest, has invited the people of Iraq, to be inspired by the Hungarian up-rising some 50 years ago, against the Russians.

Hey, it probably resonates…

Foreign country occupies your country; totally fucks things up; kills an ASS of your people…

I’ll bet the insurgents will be passing out video burns of the clip.
