Does this Mean More Warrantless Wiretapping

Apparently the Obamessiah is comparing the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico to the terrorist attack on 9/11:

“In the same way that our view of our vulnerabilities and our foreign policy was shaped profoundly by 9/11, I think this disaster is going to shape how we think about the environment and energy for many years to come,” he said in the Politico interview.

Does this mean the oil leak is going to be used an excuse to expand government power over the ~~surfs~~ citizenry? What am I saying, of course it is. I’m waiting for the next OIL LEAK Act (no idea what they’ll make that acronym mean but if they can come up with an acronym for PATRIOT they can do anything) which will expand government powers allowing even more warrantless wiretapping, harassment at airports, and detaining of citizens suspected of colluding with oil companies.

Civil Disobedience

Is awesome! Somebody in Tennessee received a $90.00 speeding ticket and was none too happy about it. Being a savvy Internet type he also saw that the issuing police department’s domain name was about to expire so he purchased it and put up his own website detesting the victim-less crimes of traffic violations.

Good on you sir.

A hat tip goes to Uncle this post.

It’s Funny Because It’s True

From Bruce Schneier’s encounter with the TSA:

TSA Officer: Don’t worry. No one will notice. This isn’t the sort of job that rewards competence, you know.

That pretty much sums it up.

Deranged Gunman at a Range

Oh my God! A deranged gunman opens fire at a firing range:

A man described by eyewitnesses as “unsettled” and “disturbed” walked into the local Guns Galore Shooting Range early Tuesday morning, paid for a half hour’s worth of time, and then calmly opened fire on dozens of unsuspecting targets.

That’s some scary shit!

In Relation to the Gulf Oil Spill

I laughed very hard:

SYSS Mouse: I wonder if BP has a WMD at their disposal.

DarkKnightRadick: They do, it’s called an uncontained oil leak.

Al Gore Making Up More Bullshit

Must like global warming Al Gore has been unable to provide actual proof of the existence of Man Bear Pig. According to Dvorak Uncensored is appears that Al Gore made Man Bear Pig prop and tossed it into a Canadian lake for somebody to fall upon.

Now watch as Al Gore claims Man Bear Pig was a mutation caused by global warming thus completing the bullshit cycle.

Your Daily Dose of Irony

It appears IBM slipped up a little bit:

Delegates to AusCERT, Australia’s premier information security event held this week on the Gold Coast, have taken home a little of the stuff they spent the week agonising over – a virus.

In an email this afternoon, IBM advised visitors to its AusCERT booth that its complimentary USB key was infected with a virus. An IBM spokesman and conference organisers confirmed the email was genuine.

There has to be an award for distributing a virus at a security conference.

Oh No the Loophole Loophole

Rob Allen once again shows his ability to deliver the snark:

Unless you live near him in which case, he’s probably able to use the Gun Show Loophole Loophole that allows him to bypass the Gun Show completely and dispose of his personal property as he sees fit, something that we should not allow mere citizens the right to do!

Seymour Cray is that You

Uncle has a post that implies the father of super-computing, Seymour Cray, may not actually be dead but alive and well in Austin, TX:

The City of Austin Tuesday released photos of the web of tunnels a man dug underneath his East Austin home.

Under the yellow home are three stories of tunnels. For at least two years, neighbors suspected owner Jose Del Rio was up to something strange, but had no idea just how busy he’d been.

For those of you who don’t catch the reference Seymour Cray was known for this tunnel digging:

As Rollwagen tells it, Seymour Cray, the company’s elusive founder, has been dividing his time between building the next generation of supercomputers and digging an underground tunnel that starts below his Chippewa Falls house and heads toward the nearby woods. “He’s been working at it for some time now,” says Rollwagen, who reports that the tunnel is 8 ft. high, 4 ft. wide and lined with 4-by-4 cedar boards. When a tree fell through the top of the tunnel several years ago, Cray used the opening to install a periscope-equipped lookout.

Of course he wasn’t building a bunker or any such nonsense. In fact he was much more sane:

“I work for three hours, and then I get stumped, and I’m not making progress. So I quit, and I go and work in the tunnel. It takes me an hour or so to dig four inches and put in the 4-by-4s. Now, as you can see, I’m up in the Wisconsin woods, and there are elves in the woods. So when they see me leave, they come into my office and solve all the problems I’m having. Then I go back up and work some more.”

Yeah we computer people are always a little quirky.

That’s Sexist, Racist, Homophobic, and Bigoted

Wow one article nailed all four of those. Yes apparently Iron Man 2 was sexits, racist, homophobic, and bigoted all in one movie (how do they get all of that done in such a short time span). Larry Correia, author of Monster Hunters International, took the accuser to task.

Seriously it’s hilarious (Mr. Correia’s commentary not the original writer of the dribble).

Also if you go to a super hero movie realize two things: it’s going to be over the top unbelievable and shit will blow up. It’s entertainment, try to enjoy yourself instead of be angry.
