Out with "tapped", in with "Terrorist Fist Bumped"
Barack just terrorist fist bumped Samantha Power as Senior Director of Multi-lateral Affairs at the National Security Council. I disagree with her position on intervention and American exceptionalism.  She typifies a neoliberalism that foists vociferous condemnations on what “they” do to us and ignores for all intents and purposes what we do to “them”.  Nevertheless, I...

The 60 Minutes segment on the West Bank wasn’t perfect, but kudos to Bob Simon and his crew for a job awfully well done.  Next step is to convince our own government to end its support for settlement construction.  (Yes, the new administration’s position on this more or less approximates the last one’s, thus far.) Does anyone want to lay odds?

(Email from Mom) Yeah! I finally got it worked out...confirmed with a receipt for Friday 4/3/09. We have 20 seats at this time...Orchestra P101-114 & Q101 -106. Tickets will be at the box office in my name. We'll arrange a meet time. Almost everyone has confirmed the change in date with me.I can do an add on...I just have to call it in and send additional $$$, which is not a problem at all. So let me know asap if you were not in the original order and would like to be...we want to get the best available. The group ticket price is $77 each...which is the price of center mezzanine individual tickets...so a pretty good deal. http: //hairbroadway.com/

I’m impressed/mystified/saddened by, in awe/terrified of, and more than a little obsessed with Chris Langan right now.  Thank you, Mal Gladwell.  I made Stretch sit through all three parts of Errol Morris’s FIRST PERSON on him the other night (it’s on youtube if you search for Chris, and it’s awesome). Above is Episode One of CT: Cognitive-Theoretic, my xtranormal homage...
