This story was on the front page of our local small town paper today.  I was a projectionist at this little theater when I was in college.  I thought I would share it because it seems to contain all the little golden lessons about the nature of man and government on a small and personal scale.  We get all fired up about the Big Dog gubment in Washington, but the dynamics are the same right at home.  The petty absurdities are incredible.  This is what happens when it's admitted into the common conciousness that there is such a thing as "public property", a type of property that cannot exist without being forcibly taken and maintained through rights violations, is "owned" by everyone, yet by no one, controlled by a few, and results in a pronouced lack of accountab

More ways terrorists are getting stuff past the TSA.

Alright, it's 1 in the morning, so Imma finish up Wheels off Liberty and go to sleep. 'night all.

Now she's whining on Twitter about the way she's been treated. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. An international scandal is a good way to bring attention to yourself.

You know, my last job was relatively easy. And, since I was good at it, I didn't have to leave my desk too much. When I found myself with nothing to do at work, I'd stream South Park on my PC and do homework. But, apparently, the police in Oxfordshire, England have nothing better to do than threaten children with the anti-terror squad and others for using their freedom to assemble and speech.

I heard Gard once say that the definition of what a terrorist is always seems to be changing. When a 12 year old child, who quite literally did nothing wrong, is cause for the anti-terror squad, yea, the definition of terrorist has definately changed.

I might not of necessarily agreed with the student protests there have been but I will always defend somebody’s right to protest & it seemed to me that with the student protests there were agent provocateurs who stirred up things up into a frenzy, which of course gave the police every excuse. Not sure though that the police had every excuse to drag a disabled man from his wheelchair, I mean what threat to public order is a man in a wheelchair protesting?

I thought I’d share the political perspectives I’ve received from coming out of closet about being a transsexual.

You’d think that both liberals & libertarians would be understanding if not supportive as both support individual liberty, however that’s not exactly case as I’ve found out.

Lefties seem to think that I should get government permission before I did anything, which kind of stinks because it means they don’t seem to think I own my own body, but I kind of expected that to be the case. Most lefties I know do support diversity etc, but they do get hung up on concern on what individuals do with their own body.

It's worth pointing out that there is tons out there that is unconstitutional, but I'm very glad someone woke up on this one.

Something like 20 other states are also suing the Obama Administration, so let's hope this is a first of 20. :)

For those who don't know, the Metrodome roof collapsed under the weight of 17 inches of snow this morning. There were cameras going inside when it happened. Whoa.

BTW, Spooner, this is an example of why I can go without snow. lol

"Mark Madoff, along with his brother Andrew, was never criminally charged, said he never knew of their father's crimes, was not facing imminent arrest and hadn't spoken to investigators in over a year. The brothers were, however, still under investigation and named in multiple lawsuits accusing them of negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and profiting from the scheme to the tune of millions.

Not the former Monty Python member but the pastor who threatened to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of 9/11

Kind of self defeating if you ask me

I’m wondering if I’m just a miserable fucker or are there other individuals who aren’t getting any joy from Xmas?

I have to tell this story which happened last week.

I was due to attend a meeting with a government minister last Friday but last Friday there was heavy snow across Britain particularly in Surrey where I live.

Now this particular government minister also happens to be a member of parliament for the neighbouring constituency to where I live & where this meeting was due to be held. This guy didn’t have far to travel but cancelled a couple of hours before because he claimed he was snowed in.

Now my friend Shovel lives north of London near to St Albans & coming down here is always at least an hour & a half trek when it ain’t snowing. Whilst Chris Grayling MP claimed he couldn’t get out of his driveway, my friend Shovel managed to get here from St Albans.

I was going to do a podcast with Gard about a doctor I knew who helped hundreds if not thousands of people but due to the professional eny who worked in the NHS he was conspired against.

the following article touches upon the case & its a shame Gard & I haven't managed to pod about this case.

The following is discussion about the post titled:
Is Wikileaks Going Too Far Publishing These?
Feel free to add your own comments!

In response to the actions of certain sites agaisnt Wikileaks, a group calling itself Operaton Payback has started attacking these websites. Those hit so far include Mastercard, Paypal and the Swedish prosecution authorty.

Here are some stories.

I don't know why he was staying in the UK. They have an extradition treaty with us so the only worse place he could have been was here in the US! The chances this has anything to do with "sexual assault" are slim. .

On the other hand, being extradited to Switzerland puts him in, I believe, a neutral country that does not have an extradition treaty with the US. So maybe it's ultimately in his best interest?

Hello fellow conspirators. This is mothyspace speaking.

Just wanted to touch on the issue of wikileaks. I know Gard has already covered this, the story itself is still developing, as of this writing he has been arrested. Before he was arrested he wrote an article for the Australian as attached below.

Julian Assange's Australian article #wikileaks - http://bit.ly/fuVNN9

I think every conspirator should read this!

It obviously expands upon his views.

What is amusing though is the fact that the media have implied that Assange is anti-war, when in his article he asserts that he is not anti-war.

Apparently he has some pretty heavy stuff he hasn't dropped yet. He sayshe'll drop some "insurance files" if the world doesn't stop trying to pull his site down.

Gard,

Just kidding.  Am I supposed to get a confirmation email or something?
