So… whenever I hear anything about State Department Spokesweasel Marie Harf, am I the only one who starts thinking about a whiny Thundercats sidekick?

Also, Holding a Box of Donuts Hostage
In Springfield, MA, a man stole a police cruiser and drove around the city while taunting police over the radio.
Sort of a vehicular version of Putin’s foreign policy.

Every time I hear "extremist Christians", I think "Amish." And then I laugh at liberal stupidity.

When you think about a real "carrot top," his hair should have been green. Pretty much the only flaw though.

So Glad She’s In Charge
The latest round of Michelle-approved school lunch photos hitting the internet features moldy meat, cheese, and bread.
Very healthy. Lose weight AND make your own penicillin.
Obama Warned Us – Covered
Joshua got covered so that he could stay healthy — without worrying about expensive premiums.
“Or the IRS ‘not covered’ fine that would’ve doubled his tax bill”.
Straight Line of the Day: To Make It Easier to Negotiate With Iran, President Obama…
Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
To make it easier to negotiate with Iran, President Obama…
Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 2.0 IWB Holster
So Alien Gear asked if I would like to try one of their holsters, and I said, “Yes. Yes please I would.” I’ve actually been meaning to try out an IWB holster for my 1911, so I got Alien Gear’s Cloak Tuck 2.0 IWB holster.
With my size, I might be pushing it trying to conceal a full-size 1911 (but I like it so much!), but I really liked the holster. It’s hard plastic that protects the gun, but it’s a nice soft material on the part that goes up against the body. And clips worked great at keeping the holster in place. It really was surprisingly comfortable. And I could kinda pull it off with an untucked shirt or jacket.
So cool holster and I recommend it. You can see here what guns it’s available for.
Random Thoughts: Tolerance, Obama’s Love, and Passwords
Remember how Obama made a big deal of not wearing a flag pin in the 2008 primary and then started wearing it in the general? Good times.
Learned a new thing about The Princess Bride in first minute of listening to Audible version of As You Wish: How to pronounce “Elwes.”
I wasn’t even close all these years, I assumed it was one syllable.
So Neil Patrick Harris is getting hate for the single funny joke he had at the Oscars? Poor guy.
We’re going to run out of ways to not offend people. As a white, heterosexual, cisgender male, I’m committing a hate crime just by existing.
When the progressive direction is toward being humorless, puritanical scolds, maybe “progressive” isn’t the best term.
Can we all at least agree there are things President Obama hates more than America?
We can’t even imagine the things our children will one day be offended by.
That’s a good question. Anyone have a particular actor in mind for Rico when reading Superego?
It’s weird how raccoons evolved masks to hide their identities from predators.
I reprogrammed the replicator to respond to “Earl Grey tea hot” with “Shut up, baldy!” Everyone had a good laugh. A few were court-martialed.
The country should love President Obama whether he loves us back or not.
Apparently some people still haven’t heard I have a science fiction novel out. I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned it.
Got 1 negative review of my novel so far; it’s on Audible. Pretty sure that guy’s a freak, though. Everyone loves me.
If you’d like to say good things about Superego, make sure to put that on internet like Amazon. If you want to say bad things, hide in shame.
New Q for Republicans: If there was button to get unlimited organic kale at cost of destroying America, do you think Obama would press it?
“Obama is busy eating a waffle. A train is headed for U.S. Button to divert train next to Obama. Would Obama pause eating to push button?”
So is there one actual example of a woman getting paid less for same work as a man, or is this all theoretical?
The USPS site has the most convoluted password requirements I’ve ever seen. I’m trying to order stamps, not launch nuclear missiles.
RE USPS password: To require a special character but have a very limited list of allowable special characters seems to add insecurity.
They only allow 13 special characters, and you know at least one of them is in the password. Head start right there.
Funny. Any time I see Alec Baldwin I now think of his portrayal in The Big Bang and like him better.
Blinking Torture in Morse Code
A new survey shows that 64% of investigative reporters say that the Obama administration has spied on their phone calls, emails, and online searches.
The other 36% made a shushing gesture and pointed to the light fixture.
