President Obama Welcomes the Cyber State →
Today US President Obama announced plans for a “cyberspace strategy” that includes everything from possible offensive cyberwar strategies to education. It also contains a little-discussed “identity management” plan that makes me wonder if Facebook profiles are about to become the new Social Security cards.
The phrase “identity management” sounds kind of...
Supreme Disappointments: Conservatives and... →
In truth, rights are not social gifts but political principles based on facts of reality. These facts don’t bend to the so-called will of society. That’s why the most fundamental question a Supreme Court justice must answer is what in fact do the individual’s rights to life, liberty, property, and happiness include? Only then can he determine if a certain law or government action is securing or...

L'esprit de l'escalier →
L’esprit de l’escalier or esprit d’escalier (stairway wit) is the sense of thinking of a clever comeback in an encounter when it is too late. The phrase can be used to describe a riposte to an insult, or any witty, clever remark that comes to mind too late to be useful—when one is on the “staircase” leaving the scene of the encounter. The phenomenon is usually accompanied by a feeling of...
It's called instant messaging.

Whenever a ghost in a movie tries to grab an object, their hand always waves right through it. They walk through furniture, they walk through doors, and they even walk through people. But why don’t they ever fall through the floor? You’d think that movie ghosts would have to hang out in the basement.
Better question (okay worse): If the door of the house was made out of the same...

“We realise that people think the sound of Germans laughing is unusual, but we’re sure the caller meant well,” said one officer.

Today, my mom informed me that she wouldn’t be joining the rest of the girls in the limo ride to the church for my wedding ceremony because she wants to have her car with her. Why? Because she is planning to leave my wedding reception half way through to go home and take her dog out to pee. FML
