Sure Happy It’s Thursday, Gerbil Nation!
After three days of listening to student presentations all day, my brain is about to leak out of my ears or run screaming down the hall.
Heh. Yeah, for an administration headed by the smartest man ever to hold the office and a Constitutional Professor to boot, they seem to have a remarkably skewed view of America.
Our first good fire of the season has started. About 2.5 miles west of us with winds from the west at about 8mph. Smoked out here and getting some ash dropping. No air assets as of yet-ground crews working the perimeter.
The National Security Agency and the FBI are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies, extracting audio and video chats, photographs, e-mails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track one target or trace a whole network of associates, according to a top-secret document obtained by The Washington Post.
The program, code-named PRISM, has not been made public until now. It may be the first of its kind. The NSA prides itself on stealing secrets and breaking codes, and it is accustomed to corporate partnerships that help it divert data traffic or sidestep barriers. But there has never been a Google or Facebook before, and it is unlikely that there are richer troves of valuable intelligence than the ones in Silicon Valley.
Equally unusual is the way the NSA extracts what it wants, according to the document: “Collection directly from the servers of these U.S. Service Providers: Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, Apple.”
Sure Happy It’s Thursday, Gerbil Nation!

G’day, Wheelizens!
Hiya, Paddy!
Aieeeeeeeeeee!!11!”
As I ought to have expected, the AoSHQ Morons had much mirth at Bashir’s expense yesterday.
And I’m enjoying watching officials of teh N-word squirming on Capitol Hill this morning. Commissioners, meet Saul Alinsky… 😉
Verizon? Never heard of it.
FTFY, Sven.

But then again, Bush did it too.
At first I thought this was a story about Michelle Obama making some extra cash, but then realized my error:

Ew! There are just too many words in that post that should never be put together!
Probably a worser job than Cat Anal Expresser or Scum Sucker.
Well, we’ve already got scum suckers in the White House…
Need moar cat anal expressers. (That’s probably a job title at teh IRS.)
From Mayors that Know Better and are Against Guns and Teabaggers:
Call Governor Sandoval’s office today at 1 (888) 966-9224 and, when prompted, PRESS 1 to support background checks for all gun sales in Nevada.
Of course after you complete the call, press 2.
I love the LOLturtle
Hi all!
*poof*
GOOD AFTERNOON/EVENING EVERYONE.
Greetings from cool & cloudy Bountiful.
I sure do hope y’all are having a great day, ’cause you just know I am.
Happy Birthday to momma Atrick who would have been 100 today. She celebrated her 31st birthday with the news of the landings in France.
And in remembrance of my favorite uncle, Uncle Bill. He participated in D-day. The prototypical GI.
Sadly, my neighbor and friend Fran passed away yesterday morning. She was surrounded by her immediate family. I really miss her already.
I’m sorry for your loss, Jerrie.
Have you decided which muntin thickness you want in your new sliders, or do you need to live with the “mixed bag” for a while longer?
Sorry to hear that, Jerry; our condolences.
Thoughts and prayers, Jerry.
Our first good fire of the season has started. About 2.5 miles west of us with winds from the west at about 8mph. Smoked out here and getting some ash dropping. No air assets as of yet-ground crews working the perimeter.
Looks like they got a handle on it-burned about 40 acres, no structures, but man, a lot of smoke and ash coming down on us.
I blame the sequester.
Glad it didn’t get any closer.
Seconded.
SHOCKER: U.S. mining data from 9 leading Internet firms; companies deny knowledge!!1!!
Ruh roh.
“PRISM? Never heard of it. BTW, has anyone seen Michelle? My genitals are a little dirty.” Barack Obama.
Euuuuuuuuuw!
