Just because you can make noise with barbed wire, does that mean you have to? People have nothing better to do? And I have nothing better to do than watch them? lol It's like: instruments aren't good enough, dammit! Give me some barbed wire!!!

"Don't ask, don't tell is pretty much out the door." Right. I believe Obama wants to do it, but I won't believe it until it actually happens -- and then survives the appeals, filibusters, special votes, etc. that the evil people will put into action to try to reinstate it (or replace it with something worse).

That said, Daniel Craig really is adorable.

Here comes The Sulk, here comes The Sulk
and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since he's been here
Here comes The Sulk, here comes The Sulk
and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes The Sulk, here comes The Sulk
and I say it's all right

Sulk, Sulk, Sulk, here he comes...
Sulk, Sulk, Sulk, here he comes...
Sulk, Sulk, Sulk, here he comes...
Sulk, Sulk, Sulk, here he comes...
Sulk, Sulk, Sulk, here he comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes The Sulk, here comes The Sulk,
and I say it's all right
It's all right

Israel to UN Headquarters: "It's coming right for us!"

UN Headquarters: "?!?"

Israel: "Pew pew pew!"

Un Headquarters: "Ouchie."

The story about the condos links to a article you need to pay for...

Sulk, you rule.

Dead skater's baby-thats been all over the BBC news for days now, but they never mentioned a babydaddy. Keeping her body "alive" and birthing the kid for whom to raise, thats what I kept wondering.

If Truman could issue an executive order to end segregation in the military, why can't Obama do the same to end sexual orientation discrimination in the military?

Here's the text of Executive Order 9981:

It is hereby declared to be the policy of the President that there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion or national origin. This policy shall be put into effect as rapidly as possible, having due regard to the time required to effectuate any necessary changes without impairing efficiency or morale.

Why can't Obama just add sexual orientation to it?

@11,

The article linked on Slog mentioned her husband.

I'm not too worried about Apple. All they need is another megalomaniac ready and willing to crack the whip.

Don't worry, Israel still has five days of bombing helpless civilians and UN staffers to go before the adults return to power at the White House.

They already got greenlighted by Comrade Bush and Comrade Cheney.

Hamas should not store weapons and fire weapons at Israel from civilian areas, but they do. They consider it a win-win when their civilians get killed as a result because you lefties jump up and blame Israel. Would you accept living next to a neighbor who's sole mission is to wipe your country off the map? These are the same people who danced in the street when the twin towers came down. They don't have any regard for civilian life. Israel would be happy to accept a peaceful two-state solution. It's hamas who won't agree.
