Barney is horrified (or wants you to be) that that the GOP thinks that Obama’s Inauguration was as bad as 9-11.

Well he’s wrong.

Obama has done FAR more damage to the US than Islamic terrorists did on 9/11.

There’s a video but I couldn’t understand a word Barney was saying. Does he actually speak English?

Leaving aside the question of whether “tolerance” is a good thing, when you attempt to organize opinion against someone you disagree with you forfeit the right to call yourself tolerant.

You don’t get to have it both ways.

Srsly. They did.

President Barack Obama’s decision to make public comments Friday that further stoked an already brewing controversy over the construction of a mosque near ground zero was “purely” his own, an administration official said Saturday.

IRC says it best:

LabRat: How do you get your own fucking staff, whose entire reason for existence is to kiss your ass and smooth your path, to toss you under the bus?

Breda: you’re an incompetent asshole, that’s how

Seems the Craigslist Killer killed himself in jail.

I don’t get why he was suicidal. He was just going on trial for murder in Boston.

It’s not like he was arrested for something REALLY serious like a 30rd mag.

Obama goes for a Clinton, “I feel your pain” moment and fails:

President Obama says he can relate to the plight of Americans striving in the struggling economy to pay bills while saving for their kids’ education.

He says he and first lady Michelle Obama took a hit like everybody else when the economy nearly collapsed, telling ABC that a college fund for daughters Malia and Sasha has gone “up and down” with the stock market.

Obama says the first couple is “not that far removed from what most Americans are going through.” He tells the network “it was just a few years ago that we had high credit card balances, we had two kids, thinking about college. We had our own retirement accounts, wondering if we were going to be able to get enough assets in there.”

He can’t even fake it well.

The idea of MSM journalists calling for bloggers to be held accountable is laughable.

I could also say something about rocks and glass houses or pots and kettles.

Oops, I misread that. Congress ranks last in confidence: 11%

Well, Duh!

Gallup’s 2010 Confidence in Institutions poll finds Congress ranking dead last out of the 16 institutions rated this year. Eleven percent of Americans say they have “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in Congress, down from 17% in 2009 and a percentage point lower than the previous low for Congress, recorded in 2008.

I’d be hard pressed to come up with a worse example. It would be bad enough if they were just inept and useless, like the Post Office, but they’re actively engaged in destroying the United States.

On second thought, I’m surprised it’s as high as 11. (insert goes to 11 joke here)

I found this wonderful drawing on Digg, a vision of 1950 seen from 1925.

It’s an architect’s Utopian vision of the city of tomorrow. And it’s a good example of why centralized planning will always fail.

Hayek called it the knowledge problem.

The architect has designed a wonderfully integrated structure that combines all the disparate functions of the time into one building. Traffic is segregated on multiple street levels and massive buildings contain apartments, offices and shopping. It’s a hive, and like all hives doesn’t allow for change. This one man has decided how everyone will live travel and work without even bothering to ask the people for their opinion.

Compare this city of the future with the reality of 1950.

Not even close.

Mine is dead. And I’m traveling today.

Today is gonna suck.

Something made me start thinking about security cameras.

Putting the word “security” in front of camera tries to make it something it’s not.

Cameras don’t secure anything. Point a camera at your open door and see if it can stop someone from entering. Locks are security devices. Cameras are not.
