  1. How a Man Caught UPS Tampering With His Package [Ups]<\/a> – Lovely.<\/li>\n
  2. His Christian Views Didn\u2019t Work Against Him<\/a> – “When you\u2019re in a super-majority like Gleason is and you\u2019re still whining about discrimination, you\u2019re just a crybaby. He wasn\u2019t the right person for the job and his reaction to not making the cut is just further evidence that there were more qualified people than him in the running.”<\/li>\n
  3. Invincible Ignorance – NYTimes.com<\/a> – “Because it’s always the government’s fault.”<\/li>\n
  4. Dishes Still Dirty?

Well, I don’t know as I believe that.” Yes, deary, go ahead and disbelieve whatever gets in the way of your spotless dishes, because, after all, we know that Liberal Environmental Scientists are not only out to destroy Christmas, but your Christmas Dinner.<\/li>\n
  5. The inhumane conditions of Bradley Manning’s detention – WikiLeaks – Salon.com<\/a> – “If you became aware of secret information revealing serious wrongdoing, deceit and\/or criminality on the part of the U.S. Government, would you — knowing that you could and likely would be imprisoned under these kinds of repressive, torturous conditions for months on end without so much as a trial: just locked away by yourself 23 hours a day without recourse — be willing to expose it? That’s the climate of fear and intimidation which these inhumane detention conditions are intended to create.”<\/li>\n
  6. Breaking News on EFF Victory: Appeals Court Holds that Email Privacy Protected by Fourth Amendment<\/a> – Very cool.<\/li>\n
  7. \u201cNo Negros Allowed\u201d Sign Posted On Wisconsin Gentlemen\u2019s Club<\/a> – Asshat.<\/li>\n
  8. Incoming Tea Party Congressman Says Media Disseminating WikiLeaks Info Should Be Censored<\/a> – Perhaps we could call up China and get some pointers on how to do it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
