Evening…
My father is going off the deep end. I don’t know, he has become obsessed with the end of the world, the CDC’s stash of plastic coffins and Agenda 21. So tonight’s links will be a quick dose of reality…meaning, shit we should be concerned with.
Privacy…The Volokh Conspiracy » District Court Grants Motion to Suppress After Government Uses “The Shadow” to Locate Laptop Using Unsecured Wireless Network (Fourth Amendment? Drawing the line or crossing it?)
Austerity…What Austerity Brings (It sure doesn’t bring about anything good.)
Indefinite detention, and “unlawful pretrial punishment”…The Prosecution’s Argument for Why It Didn’t ‘Unlawfully Punish’ Bradley Manning (And why is it that FDL’s coverage of the Manning trial uses images from Beavis and Butthead?)
Minorities…Black, Hispanic Teens Most Disconnected, New Report Says (Nothing new here, carry on…)
Boehners…Obama Rejects Boehner Fiscal Cliff Plan (Boehner = The tangerine ass clown.)
Boneheads…Rush Limbaugh: Planned Parenthood “Is All About The Elimination Of Black Families” (My girlfriend who lives among the corn was going on about this a couple weeks ago.)
Protection of our precious bodily fluids…Tracy Bloom: GOP’s Doomsday Fiscal Cliff Plan, Cory Booker’s Food Stamp Challenge, and More (Okay, that last one is an attempt to joke about Dr. Strangelove…we certainly don’t want a mineshaft gap!)
This is an open thread…

Y’all have a great night. I’ve got one sick kid, one deranged dad…and a pile of laundry to deal with tonight…ciao!
take care!! My dad rants a lot when he watches Fox too much. Know what you mean.
The whole time he has been going on and on about this stuff, your daddy has been in the back of my mind…lol.
Hope your kid gets better quickly and everything else too.
I know that I’ve mentioned over and over how much I enjoy the AJC cartoonist Mike Luckovich, well this one is fabulous:
12/4 Luckovich cartoon: Santa pause | Mike Luckovich
Brilliant!
That’s one great cartoon 🙂
Guess who got out of jail?
George Zimmerman posts $1 million bail.
Guess those damn autographs did amount to something. I have to say that is a WTF news story…you know the defense released more photos today too. Ugh…
Here is side by side photos taken same night – one in police car at site and the other at police station. Actually almost looks like two different .

JJ – love the Mike Luckovich comic. Hope your dad calms down.
Something’s weird about those photos. Ugh indeed; why did I look at them? Now I need something to clear my visual memory ….
Dick Armey quits the Dick Army. Errr… Tea Party …
