Trending Topics

Can someone please explain to me why in the hell Twitter Trending Topics are dominated by tanfolk?

WTF happened to the digital divide?

Pushy Broad

This is awesome. Just what I like to see.

Sotomayor peppered the lawyers with questions in a pair of cases, joining with Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg during the oral arguments. Together, they left the other justices sitting in silence for much of the time.

In the first hour alone, Sotomayor asked 36 questions, and Scalia followed with 30. Ginsburg is particularly interested in legal procedures, and she and Sotomayor dominated the questioning for much of the second hour.

otherwise, what? You might think she just doesn’t care. Or her mind is already made up and she doesn’t need to be bothered engaging with the actual case. Like, oh, I dunno this guy?

Justice Clarence Thomas has not asked a question for more than three years.

Heckuva job Clarence.

What a load..

Some muppethugger who I will be paying back later planted this earbug and I am having trouble getting rid of it. Share the pain, I always say!

AssemblyDork Sold Down River by Another Republican?

AAHHHHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This would be so fitting. Talking Points Memo is speculating that reprehensible lobbyist-screwing recently-former Orange County Assemblyman Mike Duvall was setup by the dude who was listening to his nasty talk.

The OCR notes that in KCAL’s report, Miller’s face is obscured “to protect our sources.” In fact, it says, some people think Miller may have engineered the whole incident: “Many in the Capitol speculate that Miller reached over and turned on Duvall’s microphone while they were chatting.”

And here’s something else that we noticed in reviewing a different version of the video on the OCR’s site. (The video has always been available online through the public access network that broadcasts the hearings — but it’s clear that no one would have noticed the comments, which are barely audible, without being alerted to their existence): Just as Duvall is talking about his first mistress — who’s been identified in press accounts as lobbyist Heidi DeJong Barsuglia — Miller asks: “Is there someone else?” That prompts Duvall to launch into a description of his second mistress, “Shar” or “Sher.” It’s a strange place in the conversation for Miller to ask that question.

Probably Miller was just sick of the inane and just plain pathetic bragging of Duvall and wanted to get his ass out of the Assembly.

Even the rightwing is asking. Glenn Beck will you answer?

That’s right. It is not just crazed flatulant loonies anymore. Even the right-wing is addressing the stories that are out there. It is being said that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990.

When will he answer? Why is Glenn Beck not on the Sunday talk show circuit providing the full, official police report?

What is Glenn Beck hiding?

What do you think about these rumours?

Americans yearn for aristocracy

From Anonymoustache, this article.

They should convene a panel for the next Meet the Press with Jenna Bush Hager, Luke Russert, Liz Cheney, Megan McCain and Jonah Goldberg, and they should have Chris Wallace moderate it. They can all bash affirmative action and talk about how vitally important it is that the U.S. remain a Great Meritocracy because it’s really unfair for anything other than merit to determine position and employment.

snip…..

all of the above-listed people are examples of America’s Great Meritocracy, having achieved what they have solely on the basis of their talent, skill and hard work… By contrast, Sonia Sotomayor — who grew up in a Puerto Rican family in Bronx housing projects; whose father had a third-grade education, did not speak English and died when she was 9; whose mother worked as a telephone operator and a nurse; and who then became valedictorian of her high school, summa cum laude at Princeton, a graduate of Yale Law School, and ultimately a Supreme Court Justice — is someone who had a whole litany of unfair advantages handed to her and is the poster child for un-American, merit-less advancement.

I just want to make sure that’s clear.

Oh, like crystal, dude, like crystal.

Turn this motherfucker up!

The Turbo is Back!!!!!!!

The best saddle ever made for cyclists was removed from the market years ago. This was a tragic day. Well, it appears the Selle Italia Turbo has been returned to market. Thank the Gods of cycling!

No, the Boomer generation is not merely a marketing construct

A brief note of correction on a recent comment on my old post on Boomers which makes a curious assertion:

If you look at the actual vital statistics numbers, the boomer gen isn’t really any bigger than Gen X, and neither is the “millenial” generation. They fudged the birth years when they were playing games with marketing. There was a boom in 1946, compared to the years *before* that. After that point They were all 3-4 million per year. There were as many people born in my birth year, 1971, as there were born in 1946, for example.

Hmm, let’s look at the data shall we?
