Dear Gramma,
Thank you for the two queen-sized fitted sheets and diet Mountain Dew.

Yaweh Might Be A Bit Manic Depressive
Manic depression is touching my soul
I know what I want
but I just don't know
how to, go about gettin' it
Feeling sweet feeling,
drops from my fingers, fingers
Manic depression is catchin' my soul
Woman so weary,
the sweet cause in vain
You make love, you break love
It's all the same
When it's, when it's over, mama
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess
Well, I think I'll go turn myself off,
And go on down
All the way down
Really ain't no use in me hanging around
in your kinda scene
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess

Atheists and Teabaggers join against a common enemy: The Methodist Church
Judson Phillips, Tea Party Nation Founder, wants to do away with the Methodist Church.
If he plays his cards right, he can probably get Richard Dawkins to rally his troops and they can attack on two fronts.
To quote someone, somewhere doing something: Kill them all. Let God sort them out.

The Politics of "Win Some, Lose Some" DADT traded for Billionaire Tax Breaks
Is is me, or does this seem like one of those schlocky Hollywood movies with super famous stars in it? The Fockkers franchise perhaps... Where you are saying to yourself, "How the fockk did Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro end up in this steaming pile?"
And then you think, "Ah, they must need the money for a special indy film that wouldn't get made otherwise."
Look inside the beltway this week and gaze upon a hauntingly familiar scene. A stunningly stupid piece of economic legislation sails past the critics with a few token protestations and a worthy little bill that had almost no chance of getting passed somehow finds it's day in the sun.
DADT was a backward, unworkable patch for an untenable social injustice that deserved to be squelched. And maybe I want too much. But did we have to trade off all hope for an economic recovery, so even more young people can die in yet another unjust war?
Any economist who doesn't have his head shoved up his ass will tell you: tax breaks for the wealthy put a drag on the economy. Because Paris Hilton can only buy so many cars, even if they are very expensive, planet-killing, dick extensions. Believe it or not, giving her even more money isn't going to spur a spending spree on her part.
On the other hand, giving a bigger tax break to a bunch of middle class families while asking Oui, oui, Paris to pay more in taxes, would generate a lot more traction in the economy.
Although it from the way they are failing to push with their legs, they might be spending some bucks on physical therapy.
So, this didn't even end up being a Lady or the Tiger choice.
Tax Breaks for Billionaires: Pork and Plutocracy kill the economy.
DADT Repeal: Kills even more of our young.
It's much more along the lines of Blue Pill keeps you in a non-life illusion, Red Pill wakens you to a shitty, difficult reality.
Obama, et. al., making the best use of American's chronic Attention Deficit Disorder, and persistent inability to connect the dots, scored big. With the passage of this pair of bills, Obama got some Blue Dog, some monied "base" and some accolades from the independent voter. And he mollified a portion of his impatient progressive detractors along the way.
Best of all, if the Tax Bill helps the economy, he gets cred. If the Tax Bill kills the economy, as is very likely to happen, then the folks who pushed hardest for it will get the blame: the Republicans.
Now that, is how Hollywood and Politics are done.

Dieties in the News
The Lord Jesus Christ was hit by car in Northampton MA.
Christ was in a marked crosswalk at the time of the accident, Capt. Scott Savino told the paper.
Police say 20-year-old Brittany Cantarella was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
It is reported that the young lady jumped out of the car yelling "Oh Christ!"

Day 3 of Historic Prison Strike in Georgia-Blacked out By Media
On Thursday morning, December 9, 2010, thousands of Georgia prisoners refused to work, stopped all other activities and locked down in their cells in a peaceful protest for their human rights. The December 9 Strike became the biggest prisoner protest in the history of the United States.
They set forth the following demands:
- · A LIVING WAGE FOR WORK
- · EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
- · DECENT HEALTH CARE
- · AN END TO CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENTS
- · DECENT LIVING CONDITIONS
- · NUTRITIONAL MEALS
- · VOCATIONAL AND SELF-IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
- · ACCESS TO FAMILIES
- · JUST PAROLE DECISIONS
Two comments:
1) Not surprising. Don't want to give anyone the idea that prisoners are regular human beings.
2) To the Prisoners: Can you get those conditions met for all the proles on the outside too? We seem to be needing some of the same things.

Giant Stealth Planet May Explain Rain of Comets from Solar System's Edge

Giant Stealth Planet May Explain Rain of Comets from Solar System's Edge
Our sun may have a companion that disturbs comets from the edge of the solar system — a giant planet with up to four times the mass of Jupiter, researchers suggest.
A NASA space telescope launched last year may soon detect such a stealth companion to our sun, if it actually exists, in the distant icy realm of the comet-birthing Oort cloud, which surrounds our solar system with billions of icy objects.
So all those woo-woo people talking about hidden planets on the other side of the sun and Planet X and pole flips weren't completely bat shit insane...
Go figure.

"Researchers told 82 male subjects they were studying multitasking. The subjects were asked to sort through stacks of pictures while simultaneously following an actor reading a script. When the actor screwed up a line, the subjects inflicted varying degrees of punishment on the actor, in the form of loud noises. The highest-volume sounds were believed by the subjects to be painful to the actors. The study found that the subjects were less likely to choose to inflict pain if they were looking at a photo of cooked meat when the mistake was made."

My commentary: Supporting good ideas and seeing them through are often two different things.)
AnonOps History
Our Message, Intentions, and Potential Targets
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
- Abraham Lincoln
He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither.
– Benjamin Franklin
Hello World. We are Anonymous.
What you do or do not know about us is irrelevant. We have decided to write to you, the media and all citizens of the free world to inform you of our message, our intentions, potential targets and our ongoing peaceful campaign for freedom.
True, This! — Beneath the rule of men entirely great, The pen is mightier than the sword.The message is simple: Freedom of Speech.
Behold The arch-enchanters wand! — itself a nothing! — But taking sorcery from the master-hand To paralyse the Cæsars, and to strike The loud earth breathless! —
Take away the sword — States can be saved without it!
- The CardinalRichelieu; Or the Conspiracy by: Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Anonymous is peacefully campaigning for Freedom of Speech everywhere in all forms. Freedom of Speech for: The Internet, for journalism and journalists and for citizens of the world at large. Regardless of what you think or have to say; Anonymous is campaigning for you.
The recent news of our campaigns has been, at best, misinformed. Anonymous is not always the same group of people. In much the same way that the Constitution of the United States is said to be a living document, because it can be edited, amended; changed at the will of the people to suit the peoples' needs; Anonymous is a living idea.
Anonymous is an idea that can be edited, updated, remanded, changed on a whim. We are living consciousness. We are not a terrorist organization as governments, demagogues and the media would have you believe. At this time Anonymous is a consciousness focused on campaigning peacefully for Freedom of Speech. We ask the world to support us, not for our sake, but for your own.
When governments control freedom they control you. The Internet is the last bastion of freedom in this evolving technical world. The Internet is capable of connecting us all. When we are connected we are strong. When we are strong we have power. When we have power we are able to do the impossible. This is why governments, like China and the US are moving on Wikileaks. This is what they fear. They fear our power when we unite. Do not forget this.
...Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.Anonymous' intentions are very clear. We are not vigilantes, regardless of the sentiment of quoting Boondock Saints, we are people on a campaign for freedom.
- Monsignor, Boondock Saints
Anonymous' intentions are to change the current way the governments of the world and the people view true Freedom of Speech and The Internet. Anonymous is willing, ready, and able to campaign for the freedom for all. We are campaigning right now as you read the news, watch the television, fight with your significant other, love your children, hate your neighbor, criticize the man or woman next to you. We are campaigning.
The goal is simple: Win the right to keep the Internet free of any control from any entity, corporation, or government. We will do this until our, proverbial, dying breath. We do this not only for our selves, but for the world and its people at large.
Truth is treason in the empire of lies. - Ron Paul
Pay attention citizens, governments, and the world. Anonymous' peaceful campaign will focus on any organization, corporation, government, or entity until the Internet is truly free.
Anonymous is doing what many successful campaigns have done in the past; a sit-in. It may be hard to comprehend, but a digital sit-in is our most effective method to show that all of us deserve Freedom of Speech and a free Internet. Our methods may appear, on the outside, to be cruel to those the entities that we are campaigning against. But remember, by supporting censorship they are denying everyone a basic human right.
Any person, corporation, government, or miscellaneous entity that stops supporting censorship and starts promoting Freedom of Speech and a free Internet will become our allies. Anonymous, at this time, wants to persuade our counterparts rather than hurt them.
We are campaigning for freedom for everyone, even the opposing side. Do not fear us. Anonymous' campaign does not intend to harm the individual citizen, any organizations, any websites, or government, that supports true freedom of speech.
Anonymous' past is not our present. We are here for all of you; to campaign for all of you. Where others have made this promise and failed; we make this promise and aim to keep it for everyone.
Anything attributed, credited, or tagged to Anonymous is not always what we do. We are not always the same consciousness on a yearly, monthly, or even hourly basis. Do not believe everything you hear or read on the news. Anonymous is often credited with actions that are not campaigned for by Anonymous. The true core of Anonymous is here to help the free world for now. Anonymous wishes to represent the truth and ask that you as a citizen, media organization, or government do the same.

Now, what have you learned from this?
A: If you are cold, hold a cell phone up to the most chilly parts. You might cook, but it's better than frostbite.
B: Children have softer brains. But I think most of us already had that figured out from using the ice cream scoop to get them out of there.
C: Rats know how to use cell phones.
