Hurray AIDS
cyn1cal: Obama is lifting a travel ban so our country can become flooded with HIV/AIDS-infected foreigners. I already hate illegal immigrants. Now it’s going to be illegal immigrants with AIDS. At least the problem takes care of itself after a while. I don’t think HIV infected illegal immigrants were waiting for the travel ban to be lifted before illegally immigrating.  It’s a...

Obama Lifts HIV Travel, Immigration Ban | News |... →
tlbb: adayinboston: “If we want to be the global leader in HIV, we need to act like it.” -B.Obama I don’t get that quote.  I don’t want the USA to be a global leader in HIV.  I do want the USA to be a global leader in (combating the spread of/reducing the damage of/erasing the stigma of) HIV.  I think that’s what he meant.  I wonder what Glenn Beck thinks he meant?

Taxpayers paid $24k per 'clunker' →
muppetpants: A total of 690,000 new vehicles were sold under the Cash for Clunkers program last summer, but only 125,000 of those were vehicles that would not have been sold anyway, according to an analysis released Wednesday by the automotive Web site Edmunds.com. […] That means the government ended up spending about $24,000 each for those 125,000 additional vehicle sales. Wakka wakka! ...

Everyone Has a Pet Project
jeffmiller: robot-heart-politics: “(HR 3501 IH) The Happy Act, which stands for Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Years, is a bill that would allow pet owners to deduct up to $3,500 off their yearly taxes for qualified pet care expenses. And in today’s crappy economy, who couldn’t use an extra $3,500 in their pocket? Although the best part of all is that this will actually save pet’s...

If the United States is to remain in Afghanistan, Hoh said, he would advise a reduction in combat forces. He also would suggest providing more support for Pakistan, better U.S. communication and propaganda skills to match those of al-Qaeda, and more pressure on Afghan President Hamid Karzai to clean up government corruption — all options being discussed in White House deliberations. ...

The primary reason our womenfolk are at war with the looming spectre of the nanny state is because you can’t buy Jimmy Choos in a socialist paradise. The only sensible footwear you’ll find in a right-wing woman’s closet are the Nike cross-trainers that go with her gym membership. Everything else has a three-inch heel. Minimum. Left-wing drabs recycle. Right-wing women shop...

“More difficult questions arise when U.S. intelligence services seek to strike...”
– Rethinking the Drone Wars (via azspot) I disagree with this.  Clinton foreign policy consisted of air strikes and only air strikes in Africa and Afghanistan.  none of which were particularly successful.

Let me be precise here: Fox News peddles a fair amount of hateful crap. Some of it borders on sedition. Much of it is flat out untrue. But I don’t understand why the White House would give such poisonous helium balloons as Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity the opportunity for still greater spasms of self-inflation by declaring war on Fox. If the problem is that stories bloated far beyond their...

There are many advantages to such an approach, but it seems to me that strong, unswimmable, ocean currents are the only natural defense against zombies.
