Great video out of Russia on the St. Petersburg travesty. I wouldn't have felt so strongly about this before reading about the full effects of "don't say gay" type of BS in this amazing Rolling Stone article.

Story is back in the news, semi-good news at that: Constitutional showdown voided: Feds decrypt laptop without defendant’s help

Heard it was a heart attack, which wasn't considered so unusual because he had a history of heart problems. No love for Breitbart, but why couldn't it be Rush? Or the brothers Koch?

Just saw this, had to save it to post in this thread...

This is great, good job Onion! Heartbroken Santorum Condemns Gay Marriage For Two-Timing Jerks Like Nick Wiseman An emotional Rick Santorum stepped up his anti-gay rhetoric this week, saying jerks like Philadelphia's Nicholas Wiseman should not be allowed to marry a man they barely know when there's someone out there who truly cares for them.

I agree with him a 100% but can't think of anybody less relevant to say it! There's a petition going around, hopefully it gets more and more signatures. MPAA's trying to justify their BS and pretend that R doesn't exclude vast numbers of kids from seeing it... Tens of Thousands Sign Petition Urging MPAA to Overturn 'Bully's' R Rating

Maybe a crapload of something is how he *broke* the arm?

I use a laptop, in bed mostly. Yes it's very portable, can use it anywhere, but it stays plugged in next to my bed most of the time. Watching torrents and derping around online, mostly, though sometimes I play games. It's pretty new and fast, but I've thought about building another desktop with the latest stuff a couple of times, mostly to play games. Likely would sit idle the vast majority of the time.

Which is why I think this is a hilarious idea!

You basically have to tell them what ballot to give you, including a non-partisian choice (just the non-partisan candidates such as judges, etc), it doesn't change your voter registration. Another interesting point of party affiliation is all those registered with the White Supremacist-leaning American INDEPENDENT Party when what they meant to choose was Decline To State.

Even St. Petersburg is piling on with the Anti Gay BS! Despite international outcry from quarters ranging from Amnesty International to British author Stephen Fry, a controversial anti-gay bill was passed during a third and final reading at St. Petersburg's Legislative Assembly on Wednesday.

I like Ellen too, especially now, and have good feelings towards JCP now. It's just these seemed so mundane. "...has it always been this way..." Feh!

Ah, this says that on the presidential level it's still business as usual. Decline to states can probably vote either ballot but those of us affiliated are stuck with our party. But statewide is entirely different... http://cavotes.org/vote/primary But I was given the impression it was now an open primary from an apparently mistaken national news story, so this will probably come up a couple more times!

Here's the info on the change and the effect it has had so far locally. Still looking for more on how it effects the presidential primary process.

I think it *just* did. Think one of the props did it or something... looking.

Looks like something may just surpass the massive action sequences of the last Transformers. The set photos of Cumberbatch (Sherlock) and Quinto on the set of Star Trek 2 have also gotten me excited, but that's a way off...

Video interview with the marine posted... http://www.towleroad.com/2012/02/robertsmorgan.html

I don't think anybody is saying he didn't have the right to refuse communion. Again, A, it should've been done ahead of time and B, everything else he did was 'look at me take a stand' theater which had no place in a fucking funeral.

Ha! Nope... It stinks!

Maybe I'll watch a clip on here *if* he dances shirtless!

Odd little story. But well done.

Yep, and they'll start saying even more despicable things *and* have a larger audience for it. So anything to lengthen their primaries is welcome! California's open primary will be interesting, as long as there's still a pretend race by then. Still, hard to imagine many Californians going out of their way to touch Sanatorum...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adzywe9xeIU Kinda wish I'd gone to the nominated short film marathon I'd heard about last week or so...

I think that it should've been made clear to the woman beforehand that she'd be denied communion, it's a holy sacrament and all that, so she shouldn't have gone up for it. But every other reported action of this priest is awful. And arbitrary. For an organization with such a long *and recent* history of bad acts, the way the Catholics keep inserting themselves into this kind of stuff seems especially abominable.

I'm a fan, but realize he's very one note. He probably plays charming better than any other actor on the planet. But when it comes to angry, tortured, whatever, not at all. So I'd expect to like him a lot more in The Descendents than in Ides of March. But I haven't yet seen either, just going off his past work (though it was a bit of a challenge to remember Syriana even existed...).
