NATO’s mandate does not include providing close air support to reverse the military fortunes of rebel forces, although many of the individual fighters make it clear that they regard NATO as the rebel air wing.
My emphasis. And they are mistaken. Quite terribly so.
Looking sartorially splendid in a simple sweater ensemble (oh, how the apple has fallen from the tree! ), Saif Qaddafi has a few words with the Washington Post. It's interesting that the government keeps repeating lines that are so clearly, tacitly untrue, even to casual observers. I wonder if perhaps Libyans are just a terribly trusting people and if someone in authority says something it's just taken as so? Perhaps it's just a cultural thing and that's why the Qaddafi government keeps pushing such nonsense.
Rebel rap.
As the Supreme Court readies it's opinion regarding California's law censoring games, video games will now be graded as to their age appropriateness by computer. Hopefully, the machines aren't prudes:
Offensive language, for instance, is broken down into six subcategories: minor profanities, epithets, scatological vulgarities, racial obscenities, sexual vulgarisms and a final category devoted to one particular three-letter word that refers to both a beast of burden and, colloquially, to a part of human anatomy.
I'd like to suggest to developers that a good way to test out this software would be to create a Bible based game wherein Mary sits on her ass as she comes into Bethlehem.
Anyways, those video game characters go through a lot of discomfort! Think of Mario: He opens bricks by smashing them with his head. That's gotta hurt. They need to handle it somehow.
Today.
Sigh. I missed the Pittsburgh Comicon. Naturally, there were zombies. Hell, what with "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Living Dead", we practically invented them. I was unaware however, of the curious relationship between the living dead and Mr. Rogers.
In other nerd news, the Facebook fracas continues. To make it more interesting, it now involves hallucinogenic mushrooms.
They Might Be Giants might have to update their song. Now it's Istanbul not Constantinople not Istanbul but...something
I thought that this headline might be a typo...Surely, there should be at least a few more zeros after it? But no. These are the people that want to cure our budget woes.
I have no opinion on people carrying guns to church because quite frankly, the odds of me being in a church are extremely small. That said, citing al-Qaeda as a reason to carry guns to rural Virginian churches is...just ridiculous. I'd have significantly more respect for these people if they'd just own up to the fact that they'd feel silly if they carried an actual security blanket.
Anyways, don't they have Chuck Norris to protect them?
