Ha, ha, I’m the President of the United States, I can’t be arsed to pardon Leonard Peltier, but I sure can crack some jokes about “pardoning” a damn bird. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2013/11/27/obama-thanksgiving-turkey-pardon-service-event/3766919/

Metastatic Militarism.

“‘So the easy way out is to try to yell and pretend like I can do something by violating our [sic] laws,’ he [Barack Obama] continued.” If laws command injustice, then those laws *ought* to be violated. There is no higher law than human rights or common decency. The sight of the most privileged man on the face of the earth lecturing disenfranchised immigrant families about how powerless he is over the actions of agencies that are directly responsible to him, and talking about “easy ways out” while he continues a relentless war on immigrants, with the excuse that he’s Just Following Orders, is appalling. Barack Obama’s record on immigration has been shameful, and his endless political excuse-making for pursuing record levels of deportations, is despicable. #NotOneMore

Venus is the most badass place in the solar system. Everything is like if you took a Slayer song, raised it to the fifteenth power, and then made it physically real. \m/

Government needs to corral and punish homeless people, because otherwise peaceful people would have to be afraid of dangerous, crazed lunatics roaming the streets, threatening their safety and their possessions. Oh, wait. (Incidentally, this is a particularly madly sadistic form of political theater. But it is not different, in any way at all, from what every police department in every city in the United States routinely does to to homeless people’s shelters and possessions, all the time, as a routine matter of policy.)

“We’re looking to hire Greek and Mandarin translators. Get at us if you’ve got a friend you can recommend.” ~ William Gillis. Projected work would be a 12,000 word translation of Kevin Carson’s “Iron Fist Behind the Invisible Hand” or translation of a shorter ~2,000 word work.
