I’d use google+ except I don’t want the NSA to know that I thing George Bush is a war criminal cunt whose lungs I’d joyfully rip out with my bare hands if he came to my town again. Except I don’t believe in violence begin directed at the mentally deficient. Usually.

I mean we thought the bit about Missouri being the garden of Eden...

More on the idiocy in American politics.(link) →

Is it a war on the poor or just war by the rich? I need to quote this part. The judge pointed out that people who live more than 100 miles from a courtroom aren’t even allowed to be subpoenaed because it is “unduly burdensome,” but Hughes argued that traveling far distances was a “reality to life of choosing to live in that part of Texas.” And I might point out that the point of...

There is an element of the internet that comes off as “HEY GIVE ME YOUR SIN* AND YOUR PIN. THEN I’LL TELL YOU WHO YOUR TALKING TOO.” All that shouting, a threat instead of an invite. Which might be my nice way of saying I don’t understand it. But then, as they say, it is complicated. I just can’t get over that it is all ones and zero’s just a...

Re: previous two photo posts

Burlington Transit runs into Hamilton and I asked GOOGLE for directions. I tried to take and geolocate a picture of where I was, that is the Hamilton sign. I was on the Bus when I got the route on my phone. The wrong one. Is that Google? Burlington Transit? The HSR?

Yikes, from C.B.C. →

Of course an assault is an assault, there is no need for special names, more specific wording for the same old same old, an assault. For centuries motive was an element of a crime that had to be proven, and not a special reason for enforcing what is already a crime. This kind of accretion only builds jails, hires judges, and frightens children.

Because I could

That is why that happened. I totally messed up and was able to read my own blog and reblog it. So I did. WTF, as the kids say. If you were born in 1954 wouldn’t you be old? Well I was and I’m not, so when I say as the kids say thats irony. When you say it it is, as we say in Ar Can Saw, a Clee shay.

From Jarrett Walker of Human Transit

He says this about Transit, in his Book, which I am putting on my list, “I. “It takes me where I want to go.” 2. “It takes me when I want to go.” 3. “It’s a good use of my time.” 4. “It’s a good use of my money.” 5. “It respects me.” 6. “I can trust it.” 7. “It gives me freedom to change my plans.” These are goals that the HSR should, like all...
