Wow. It feels like years since I’ve written one of these, between vacations and sick days and whateverthehellelse…anyway….
1) The Bush appointee who headed the IRS investigation of Teabagger groups will testify before Congress today. This ought to be interesting. After all, it was a Republican Congress who set up the 501(c)(4) group and who made very ambiguous guidelines as to what constitutes compliance with said section. A Bush appointee, a Republican, investigating all political groups on a shoestring budget targets groups with “Tea Party” or “Patriot” in their name….because maybe he has firm insider evidence they’re cheating? Just a thought.
2) Facebook started publicly trading one year ago. It opened at $32 a share, and spiked up to near $42. At the time, I called it worth no more than $20 a share. If you had listened to my advice and bought when it hit twenty, you’d hit “Like” on your return. I see it topping out short term at around $30 so there’s still time to get a quick hit if you can. But long term? It’s a $25 share, at best.
3) Salt of the worth?
4) “Libertarian” Conor Freidersdorf argues for religion when it comes to extreme porn. I cannot fap to that.
5) Speaking of civil liberties, here’s an interesting conundrum: you’re a photographer who lives across the street from a luxury high-rise building. You can see into some rooms clearly, as people leave their curtains open. You take photos and exhibit them. Right to privacy v. free speech. Discuss.
6) My favorite name in all of sports is dead. Apparent suicide.
7) Some things cannot be unseen.
8) Attention, Teabaggers: You are terrorist sympathisers. This is not hyperbole!
9) I’ve got an idea: Why not let Turkey take the lead in overthrowing Assad?
10) Those Benghazi emails? Support the administration claims. End of story.
