Best Man Sets Groom's Hair On Fire
>> ^raverman:
What a hair raising experience...
YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!
Hair razing indeed!
Then again, without hair, it's one less thing to groom for the wedding.
I hope he fires the best man, and hairs someone else for the job.
Obama On WikiLeaks Source Bradley Manning:"He Broke The Law"
>> ^blankfist:
I was specifically speaking about the Espionage Act. And according to the wiki page, even the Supreme Court ruled it wasn't a violation of one's right to free speech, which is hard for me to reconcile in a supposed free society. Either you have free speech or you don't. The first amendment of the US Constitution says, "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech"
What part about "Congress shall make no law" does Congress not understand? On its face, the Espionage Act should be unconstitutional.
Setting aside for a moment what the constitution says about the powers of the Supreme Court, does this ruling of the Supreme Court of Blankfist mean that any soldier has the right to march over to the enemy camp, and tell them the location and battle plan of the US Armed Forces, and be immune from prosecution?
How about fraud? Does this absolute ruling of yours mean that any attempt to control lying is also a violation of the 1st amendment?

Good on activists for pushing on Obama about this. Bad on them for making it about the moral value of what Manning did, and not about Manning's right to a trial.
It's about both. He should have a right to a trial, but beyond that this is a major encroachment on his first amendment right. Just read my comment above this one.
At best Manning should be sued for breach of contract with the U.S. Government, right? Treason is such an archaic thing that the Kings used to do; must we continue the barbarous behavior of monarchs? No one was killed or put into harm's way over these leaks. And all of the information leaked, we should have a right to because we all pay for it. And isn't government supposed to be transparent? Why such secrecy except to cover up the bad things they do?
What I meant was that people ambushing Obama about Manning should be hammering him about Manning's right to trial, about which there cannot and should not be any debate, especially from Obama.
In the larger sense, yes I think Manning did a service to his country, and I'm hoping that out of the associated fracas we see some movement to reform the rules around secrecy and National Security.
I don't have much hope of seeing that with politics being what they are these days, but it'd at least plant a seed in people's minds so that if/when sanity returns, people can rally around an effort to pare back secrecy laws.

Mitchell and Webb - Best Man Cuts Through The Shit
>> ^ForgedReality:
Clearly, honestly is NOT the always the best policy. They've been telling that lie for centuries. The fact that that in itself is a lie should tell you something.
The next time I hear someone utter that phrase, I'm going to go off on a tirade like this to prove a point. Then we'll see which one of us is more honest, shan't we?
Indeed. When a 6 year old girl asks, "Do you like my drawing for a whale?", well honesty is the best policy, so I should obviously reply, "No, I do not like it. It looks nothing like a whale. It looks like a big scribbly blue scrotum with a tumor."

Good stuff. The part about the "most beautiful woman in the world" sounded really familiar though. Marc Maron has me paranoid about joke stealing.
welcome to my world! You know how annoying it is when you notice stolen jokes and either you can't remember the origin or if you can, nobody gives a shit? I've heard that "look like a lesbian" bit on separate occasions as well.
I do goddamn believe this is what you're talking about: http://videosift.com/video/Mitchell-and-Webb-Best-Man-Cuts-Through-

Well done. You're turning into a real chichholumbo.
The Problem is that Communism Lost (Blog Entry by dag)
There's a difference between Captialism and free markets and Libertarianism. Capitalism is an economic philosophy of working from capital (savings). Free market is mutually beneficial agreements between two parties without coercion. And Libertarianism (or rather Liberalism) is a social philosophy of individual freedom. I don't want us to blur the lines of distinction.
Capitalism can be scary, but it's the best system we have. There are no foolproof economic systems, and the second one comes out I would happily shake the shackles of Capitalism from my ankles. But there are none. Capitalism is the best man has created.

G20 is Bad Medicine For Big Wounds
The entire world needs to have their economic systems reshaped and restructured. He asks who should rule the global economy, and he makes a fantastic point. Currently, Obama is the best man for that job, I believe, but we should subject it to the global democratic process. I could see us voting with a world ballot containing a two-nation system with Obama and maybe Gordon Brown.
The best "Best Man" speech ever?
