The Exercise of Vital Powers

I love the bio lines in the WSJ

Holy Shit. Who’da thunk it? The Federal Government starts passing out two trillion dollars and all of a sudden everyone is screaming for more and more.

Stupid Fucking Politicians. I spit on them.

Scoll down to “Other Links” on the left side bar and tell me whats missing.

Protect Our Information Networks

As president, Barack Obama will lead an effort, working with private industry, the research community and our citizens, to build a trustworthy and accountable cyber infrastructure that is resilient, protects America’s competitive advantage, and advances our national and homeland security.

Strengthen Federal Leadership on Cyber Security: Barack Obama will declare the cyber infrastructure a strategic asset and will establish the position of national cyber advisor who will report directly to the president and will be responsible for coordinating federal agency efforts and development of national cyber policy.

Initiate a Safe Computing R&D Effort and Harden our Nation’s Cyber Infrastructure: Barack Obama will support an initiative to develop next-generation secure computers and networking for national security applications. He will work with industry and academia to develop and deploy a new generation of secure hardware and software for our nation’s critical cyber infrastructure.

Protect the IT Infrastructure That Keeps America’s Economy Safe: The public and private infrastructure that keeps America running is increasingly brought online to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Barack Obama will work with the private sector to establish tough new standards for cyber security and physical resilience for critical infrastructure.

Because government management and oversight is what made the Internet what it is today.

Amusing

Obama campaign workers angry over unpaid wages

Stocks fall 500 points on postelection nerves.

Mainly because my desire for revenge against social conservatives is strong:

According to his own Web site, Obama supports the federal Freedom of Choice Act [FOCA], which would eliminate all state and federal regulation of abortion (such as informed consent and parental notification in the case of minors seeking an abortion); these regulations have demonstrably reduced the absolute number of abortions in the jurisdictions in which they are in effect. FOCA would also eliminate, by federal statute, state laws providing “conscience clause” protection for pro-life doctors who decline to provide abortions. Obama (along with the Democratic Party platform) supports federal funding for abortion, opposes the Hyde amendment (which restricts the use of taxpayer monies for abortion) and has pledged to repeal the “Mexico City policy” (initiated by Ronald Reagan and reinstated by George W. Bush, which bans federal foreign-aid funding for organizations that perform and promote abortion as a means of family planning).

Republicans Ponder Path to Renewal After Party Suffers a Harsh Setback:

The Republican Party begins debating its future Thursday in Virginia, where a group of leading conservatives will meet to discuss how to rebuild their movement. Party governors continue the conversation at a meeting next week in Miami.

The best step these folks could play would be sticking a loaded gun in their mouths and pulling the trigger.

“The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.” — Emperor Marcus Aurelius (121-180)

Alas, according to Jane’s law, that is not to be:
“The devotees of the party in power are smug and arrogant. The devotees of the party out of power are insane.”
