Some UK politician couldn't never imagine that a tweet in which he accidentally wrote only his name, could get a life on its own. Now, it's Ed Balls day and the twittersphere is celebrating by tweeting and retweeting, again and again "Ed Balls."
Remembers a little that Dexter's Laboratory episode "The Big Cheese", huh? Omelette du fromage, indeed.
Research projects that have nothing to do with defense ($6 billion); Education in the United States ($15.2 billion); Energy research ($700 million); Grocery stores in the United States ($9 billion); Overhead, support, and supply services ($37 billion).
What are some of the worst offenses? Try these on for size:
$100,000 for a “strategy planning workshop on the 100 Year Starship project last year,” which “included an interesting discussion involving the Klingons, a fictional alien species who were villains and then later allies of humanity in the Star Trek series. The session entitled ‘Did Jesus die for Klingons too?’ featured philosophy professor Christian Weidemann of German’s Ruhr-University Bochum”; An analysis of Twitter users’ slang; Development of a phone app to tell you when you’re short on caffeine; Pentagon research on democracy … among fish; Development of beef jerky roll-ups ($1.5 million); Study of why men with guns look more masculine; $40,000 for a contest in locating ten red balloons.
The sequester may be over the top. But clearly somebody needs to take a scalpel to Defense Department spending.
A civilization is in trouble when it focus on superflous things and not the indispensable ones. It's so funny I can't even laugh.
I don't know which one is worse: Dr. sipmac's devotion of Rupert Murdoch, a.k.a. the "genocidal tyrant" big shot of the News Corporation or Mr. Murdoch devotion of Dr. sipmac's methods. Anyway, here we are: after his truly annus horribilis, Mr. Murdoch seems to be mellowing a lot (Some people say that the secret conspiracy between the Labour Party and The Guardian finally brought him down to his knees). See for yourself:
That alone made Dr. sipmac experience a severe nervous breakdown, since he was already showing his strange change of heart with the endorsement of the anthropogenic climate change theory, another anathema for most of the members of the sipmac team. Murdoch even won new admirers here when he decided to confront Scientology.
Well, it seems the honeymoon is over in sipmacrants! is over. But for centrists like me, it is truly gratifying to discover that Rupert is seeing finally the light.
This is it. Sandra Fluke apparently was shattered with Rush Limbaugh's inappropiate remarks, but it's completely ok if Sarah Palin, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter get the same treatment. Now Ann Romney gets the most vile attacks in Twitter. Her crime: being a wealthy stay-at-home mom. Is this the new tone? Where's the outrage of the MSM?
This *proven* selective outrage of the MSM is despicable.
