Arlen Specter to switch parties →
purns: IT IS SO ON, USA. Technically, Specter is switching back, having originally run as a Democrat a million years ago and switching to the Republican ticket when it was politcally expedient. It’s nice for the party to have a filibuster-proof majority (in theory), but Arlen Specter has always been loyal to Arlen Specter alone. I hope he loses the Pennsylvania primary in 2010 to a real...

johnrobertwilson: katespencer: “People who regularly eat burned or charred meat, like that cooked on a grill, have a 60 percent higher risk of pancreatic cancer, US researchers reported yesterday.” This kind of shit makes me nuts. My mom wasn’t standing out at the grill every day scarfing up crispy burgers and dogs, and she still got pancreatic cancer. These studies are helpful to no one....

maniacalrage: I’m far more likely to get 15 one-star reviews when something goes wrong than I am to get 15 five-star reviews when everything goes right. Perhaps it’s just frustration speaking here, but when Apple ties my hands behind my back and lets users punch me publicly in the face without allowing me to at least respond back, it’s hard to get excited about building an app. I had a sort-of...

bridgecomedy: adambozarth: Cash 4 Skulls written by Brett White. We had to move a lot of comic books and comic book paraphenelia to make this. Brett White is hilarious. I had nothing to do with the video, but I’m determined to make it a real thing. http://cash4skulls.com is online.

Sometimes I do things the dumb way
nicolemarietherese: johnrobertwilson: Yesterday I had 1645 unread messages in my google inbox.  (edit). I’m having a panic attack reading this post from JR. I’m not the most organized person in the world, but labeling and sorting my emails is one of the small-life-pleasures that I fantasize about during the day. When I know I’ve left some project unfinished, I carry a quiet guilt around...

Matthew 5:43-48 (seems appropriate today)
You have heard that it was said, “You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the...

You click a link and download the complete returns as PDF files. I’m fascinated by the White House blog, because it’s more like what you would expect from a blog, and not what you would expect from The White House.
