Credit where credit is due.
The U.S. Department of Justice is coming down hard on the Baltimore Police Department as it prepares to issue a settlement to a man whose footage they deleted after he recorded them making an arrest.
Yeah. This post is aimed directly at anyone who’s naive enough to agree that “there’s no difference” between Democrats and Republicans the hate filled, 100% owned by the richest 1%, don’t give a fuck about YOU, out to destroy America GOP politicians.

Telling Thomas’ story could take an exceedingly long time. He was there at the beginning of our marriage, in 1996. He was still there when the last child left home to marry. I’ll try to be brief, but no promises.

This IS Obama Government Intrusion!!
FBI: We need wiretap-ready Web sites – now
CNET learns the FBI is quietly pushing its plan to force surveillance backdoors on social networks, VoIP, and Web e-mail providers, and that the bureau is asking Internet companies not to oppose a law making those backdoors mandatory. snip
“We have noticed a massive uptick in the amount of FCC CALEA inquiries and enforcement proceedings within the last year, most of which are intended to address ‘Going Dark’ issues,” says Christopher Canter, lead compliance counsel at the Marashlian and Donahue law firm, which specializes in CALEA. “This generally means that the FCC is laying the groundwork for regulatory action.”
I will NOT stand for it! No vote for Obama.

On Saturday (May 5) at 11:35 p.m. EDT, the moon will officially turn full. And only 25 minutes later the moon will also arrive at perigee, its closest approach to Earth — a distance of 221,802 miles (356,955 kilometers) away.
The effect of this coincidence is a stunning skywatching sight called the “supermoon.”
In fact, this month’s perigee is the closest of any perigee in 2012 (they vary by about 3 percent, because the moon’s orbit is not perfectly circular). The result will be a 16 percent brighter-than-average full moon accompanied by unusually high and low tides this weekend and into the new week.
On another thread, Timbuk offered his ranking of potus’ in his lifetime. So, who else is onboard? Say, the ranking since 1963?
(Or vote for it.)
