Why do you think the UN is in New York? Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.

"The IFJ has taken no position on the justification for the release..." Until they do, they're being hypocritical. "how a mood of intolerance and persecution that is dangerous not just for the two men but for all journalists engaged in investigating public affairs." Yes, you have to be...

Other than appropriately irreverent and inappropriately silly, no, you really don't. :D What prompted my silly reply, tho, was the way Moot uses his credit card for fuel. He pays it off every month, never pays interest, and always gets a bunch of cash back to use for gift cards. That would be...

Wait a minute! There are people at the UN spying on each other? I'm outraged. Shocked, even. <snort>

Wow, that "article" is passing off an awfully lot of assumption and unsubstantiated rumor as fact, and then reaching conclusions based on those fabricated facts. And the parts that aren't fabricated are mostly overblown hyperbole. For example, "With each tranche of documents published online...

No guilt by comparison, per se. More of guilt by parallel. It was an illustration of the delusional reality that some people see when the real reality is often just the opposite. Assange is starting to come off sounding a little like Bagdad Bob, like when Bob went on and on about how there were...

Wikileaks nor Assange are US citizens, so the constitutional protections don't really apply to them. And neither have anything to do with net neutrality.

Someone else's.

I was going to say "when I get a chance," but that seemed a little boring, so I went the other way. It's kind of like... Have a mediocre day! :)

Yeah, a journalist wouldn't threaten to release the "really damaging and embarrassing stuff" unless you leave him alone. He's a hacker with an ego, that's all he is. The whole point of whistelblowing is to get the information out there in order to stop the lies and corruption. But he's not doing...

This what I've got Dirt Devil Power Reach Can be used as is, or the head can be detached for getting into tight areas, or the hose can be detached from that and a crevice tool can be used for even tighter areas.

Not only that, but when you have to drive 8 hours to get somewhere to do something, every stinkin' mile of those 8 hours takes forever. But as we all know, when the thing you're doing is driving, it's no big deal. For example, my niece lives 180 miles away in Elizabethtown. To go visit her is...

No, if I were to start over again I wouldn't start out in a Sprinter. Think of the cargo van, like the Ford, as a "trial and error" vehicle. You live in there for a while and you'll be able to figure out what you want and don't want. Some of that is by being at the truck stops and seeing how...

I think it's a combination of leveling the playing field, and the fact that the people making these decision are people who work an 8 hour day, think 40 hours in a week is a lot of time to put in, and think an 8 hour drive is exhausting.

First and foremost, whether you're an expediter or an RVer, the heat strip on a rooftop air conditioner will not, not, not keep you warm. It'll take the chill out of a brisk 50 degree morning in the campground, but that's about it. The heat strip of a rooftop air conditioner has shattered the...

Here's an excellent level-headed and candid analysis of the impact of these leaks (BBC News - Analysis: Impact of Wikileaks' US cable publications). It handles both sides properly, I think. For example, a couple of snippets that illustrate both the problems with these kinds of leaks, and of the...

"Cut us down and the stronger we become" - Bagdad Bob

"retardo-spheres." I nearly lost it on that one. LOL By the by, for those who want to keep up with the Assange Shennigans du jour, what with Wikileaks' Internet address changing on a seemingly hourly basis now here's a nifty list of mirror sites.

Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! :D

Two things strike me immediately about this. One, it's a sad state of affairs when France takes our side in anything. Two, I can't believe Assange is all pіssed off because he can't have a US-based hosting site. You don't go to someone's house, take a big dump in their living room, and then...
