He’s going out on a limb when he says that seven fires within three blocks “suspicious.” Really? I wouldn’t call it “suspicious.” I’d call it arson.

Especially when you’ve had a few drinks. Moron.

Just an FYI: When you’re planning on going on a killing spree, be sure to not chat about it online.

Especially if you’re the Department of Justice, and you don’t properly lock down your PDF. When you post a censored report online, make sure you lock it down properly so guys like this can’t un-censor the report. From the site:

With no notice, the Justice Department recently posted to its Website a long-awaited report. Justice spent $2 million for a study on the racial and gender diversity of its attorney workforce. The report has been complete for almost two years, but the Department stalled its release, despite numerous Freedom of Information Act requests.

The report appeared on one of the FOIA sections of the Department’s Website sometime in October. It’s one of the most heavily-redacted government documents in recent memory. Even Congress’ report on 9/11 had a smaller percentage of its contents blacked out. The Memory Hole has posted a version with no redactions; instead, those sections are highlighted in yellow, so you can easily zoom in on the parts originally deemed too embarrassing for us to see.

Here’s an article summarizing the contents of the report.

…when they’re reporting that the Internet is littered with abondoned sites. <sarcasm>Wow, that’s brilliant, thanks for letting me know </sarcasm>. Link via the bastard.

And now there’s a study that tell us. Granted, it’s hard to get motivated to outside around here because it’s been so frickin’ cold (I think the high on Halloween was 23 degrees or so), so you’ll (unfortunately) see my daughter in front of the TV more than I’d care to admit.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend by the name of Common Sense, a virtuous one, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were lost long ago in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such value lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, and that life isn’t always fair. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not kids, are in charge). His health began to rapidly deteriorate when well intentions brought us overbearing regulations: Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate, teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student. This only worsened Common Sense’s condition. He declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Finally, Common sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses, criminals received better treatment than their victims, and the Pledge of Allegence came under attack for using the words “under God”. Common Sense finally gave up the ghost after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, and after spilling a bit in her lap, and was awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by two stepbrothers; My Rights and Ima Whiner. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still know him pass this on. If not, you give him a second death!

They hurt going down, and probably coming back out.

But in case you needed a study to tell you this, here you go.

While this is obvious to some, it’s not so obvious to others.
