Taibbi's Take on UC Davis

The whole post is worth reading, but Matt is as succinct and as eloquent as ever:

These people are weak and pathetic, and they’re getting weaker. And boy, are they showing it. Way to gear up with combat helmets and the submachine guns, fellas, to take on a bunch of co-eds sitting Indian-style on a campus quad. Maybe after work you can go break up a game of duck-duck-goose at the local Chuck E Cheese. I’d bring the APC for that one.

I should know better by now, but it still surprises me that those who decried this during Bush/Cheney have been all too quiet about the continuation - even expansion - of these policies under Obama. A sign of the times. Politics(winning) at all costs. My guy can do no wrong, the other side's is evil incarnate.

Breakthrough Beer Technology!

No, it (probably) won't change the world, but what an awesome/crazy idea that's become reality: pouring draught beer from the bottom up!

Words of Wisdom from AZ Sheriff

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik:
"The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on this country is getting to be outrageous. The vitriolic rhetoric that we hear day in and day out from people in the radio business and some people in the TV business ... This has not become the nice United States that most of us grew up in. It's not unusual for all public officials to get threats constantly, myself included. That's the sad thing about what's going on in America: Pretty soon we're not going to be able to find reasonable decent people willing to subject themselves to serve in public office.''
