Lies

Super /facepalm

I groaned when I saw the headline for this video.  I didn't know how bad it was going to get though.

First off, I don't know if you heard but Michael Jackson died last week. Apparently that is the only important thing going on in the world right now. Forget that the House passed a Cap and Trade bill on Friday because that doesn't really matter.

CNN does some really stupid things with their videos. So, instead of a nice embedded video, you get a link. Oh, and turn off flashblock before following the link as CNNs site doesn't play well with it.

Get ready to feel like breaking stuff:
Freaky clouds show dead singer's face?

It's reports like this that cause people to lose faith in humanity and go on killing sprees

Jesus does not keep appearing in shit. Mr. Jackson won't either. They're fucking clouds. The world isn't going to end tomorrow. Get over it.

Update:

Round 2: Image in a tree Michael Jackson? Jesus?

Oh god it's too painful.  Full disclosure, I didn't watch that one. Using quantum mechanics as a guidline, there's a chance that the video is good. But there's also a chance that my computer falls right through my desk completely unchanged too. More than likely, the video would make me want to kill myself (the title almost does that), and my computer is staying right where it is.

When Civil Servants Attack

 Is an account of internal struggles to draw a line between torture and proper treatment procedures for detainees.  It's a good read - if somewhat of a letdown, we all know how this fight ended - and enlightens us mere mortals outside of the Beltway to executive policy-making trends.

WikiNews Tracks Down Unethical Wikipedia Edits from Congress and House

Some of you may have heard that Wikipedia has been having trouble with Congress and House members or their staff editing articles to either make themselves look better or to make their opponents look worse.  These edits range from political whitewashing to juvenile name-calling. 

 

I just read that WikiNews has done some investigative reporting and tracked down the sources of some of these edits.  So far, they've only identified Congress members, since House computers go through a proxy.  Among the culprits they've identified so far are Joe Biden, Dianne Feinstein, Tom Harkin, Norm Coleman, and Montana's own Conrad Burns.

 

Instead of doing their jobs, these elected officials (or their staff) have been vandalizing a community project.  I can't find the words.
