All right, let’s do this.
This is a live blog of the war between Anonymous and those Anonymous believes have violated the rights of Wikileaks Editor in-Chief Julian Assange.

“The company’s decision to cut off Wikileaks now is the right decision and should set the standard for other companies Wikileaks is using to distribute its illegally seized material…I call on any other company or organization that is hosting Wikileaks to immediately terminate its relationship with them.”

“The company’s decision to cut off Wikileaks now is the right decision and should set the standard for other companies Wikileaks is using to distribute its illegally seized material…I call on any other company or organization that is hosting Wikileaks to immediately terminate its relationship with them.”Luckily for those of us who like government transparency and the reminder that the government doesn’t care about citizens or the UN, you can’t kill anything once it’s on the internet. Right, Tom?
“The house just outside Escondido where massive amounts of explosive materials were found has been declared a public hazard and will be burned down, San Diego County officials told area residents Tuesday night…The house, dubbed the “bomb factory” house by officials, was found to contain amounts of materials of the kind used by terrorist bomb makers worldwide, as well as blasting caps, homemade grenades, and small-arms weapons. Bomb experts last week declared the one-story stucco house on Via Scott to be too dangerous to re-enter. On two occasions, they had entered the cluttered house and gathered evidence. Sheriff Bill Gore said at the meeting that burning the house is the only safe way to rid the neighborhood of the explosive materials.”Momma always said, “Is it so highly explosive that it’s dangerous to be around? KILL IT WITH FIRE.”
I know I’m supposed to present witty anecdotes and railing sarcasm (and I will). But for now I want to take a serious turn.
I (probably like you), used to think when people said “Enjoy today”, they deserved to have a hot latte thrown in their puss. Not today. I just found out one of my (three) older brothers was given one to two months to live (having been fighting cancer for three months, already)…
This is the same brother that once put soap in my mouth – and told me to eat it, because it tasted good (during the time when you shared a bathtub with a sibling – years ago). This is the same older brother that stood up for me when I was being bullied at the bus stop, many many years ago.
This is the same brother that is now father to four young, gifted and beautiful children (12 years old and younger). Frankly, I am shocked at how well he is taking this devastating news. As a staunch Catholic – he has given it up to God – as his will. I am very proud of my older brother, for his stoicism and for the bravery he has and will display.
Yes, enjoy today my friends. We may not have a tomorrow to snark at.
God speed my brother. I love you.
For my first foray into Crasstalk I thought I’d share this wonderfully informative (and damn funny) video demonstrating how to apologize in Japanese. They start off with a subtle bob of the head (best used when you accidentally bump into someone) and then progress into deeper and deeper bows until you’re just short of committing hara-kiri. Enjoy.
