Republican, Democrat, right, left, conservative, liberal... all the same. And you aren't part of the team. Twelve triple three: Secret history of Reagan's exec order that spawned mass surveillance - Boing Boing: "Ronald Reagan issued Executive Order 12333 in 1981, reversing the Carter and Ford reforms of government surveillance (sparked by the Church Commission, convened in the wake of Nixon's wiretapping scandal); GWB expanded it twice more, once during each term. This order is the legal cover and excuse deployed internally by spy agencies when they break the law and violate the Constitution. In Ars Technica, Cyrus Farivar tracks down many internal memors, and statements from a wide variety of ex-spies, including the famous NSA whistleblowers Bill Binney and Thomas Drake, to paint a vivid picture of how 12333 is the all-purpose excuse for any kind of funny business."
Kabuki theater. Same, same. Identical nonsense. Guess Which Party Says Rand Paul 'Blames America' (Seriously, Guess) - Hit & Run : Reason.com: "Pop quiz: Which political party's press secretary put out a press release today that criticizes Sen. Rand Paul because he "blames America...on foreign soil" and subscribes to a radical isolationist policy that would "make American less safe and secure"?
...And the answer is...the Democrats. The above statement comes from DNC National Press Secretary Michael Czin. You would be forgiven for thinking otherwise; this is the exact criticism that Republicans have hurled at both Democrats and members of the Paul family for years. But with Rand Paul as the likely Republican presidential contender and interventionist Hillary Clinton as his likely opponent, the absurdities of party politics demand a switching of the unhinged attacks."

"...people of modest means, continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you… They don’t care about you, at all, at all, AT ALL. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Thats what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick thats being jammed up their assholes everyday, because the owners of this country know the truth. It's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it."
Former LAPD Deputy Chief Explains the Militarization of American Policing - Hit & Run : Reason.com: "LAPD Deputy Chief Stephen Downing (Ret.) writes: It is sad that it took a police killing and the excessive deployment of a military presence by local law enforcement in Ferguson, Missouri to focus national attention upon a problem that has been metastasizing within American law enforcement since the early 1970s. The militarization of local law enforcement was seeded by the Nixon administration's declaration of the war on drugs in the early 1970s, and took root in the 1980s as result of President Reagan's escalation that poured millions into the drug war, shifting the focus of local law enforcement away from violent and property crimes to mostly small-time drug offenders."

Grooting. 'Grooting' has entered the lexicon | Robot 6 @ Comic Book ResourcesRobot 6 @ Comic Book Resources: "The 40-second scene from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy depicting a Baby Groot dancing to Jackson 5′s “I Want You Back” is so adorable that it’s taken root in our hearts, leading to countless works of fan art, and the creation of little potted replicas, both official and … not. But it also has introduced the world to a new word: grooting. What’s grooting, you ask? Mutant 101 defines it as (ahem) a verb meaning, “to move tree-rhythmically to the Jackson 5,” as in “his arms grooted like branches in the wind”; or to “move in a quick and lively way.” Yes, tree-rhythmically. Urban Dictionary offers up “The act of spreading ones legs and bending the knees while slowly waving the arms to resemble baby Groot.”
