  •     OK, so there’s this wingnut Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Football) who’s angry that the military reimburses officers for travel expenses when they need to go out-of-state for an abortion. Until that rule’s changed, Tuberville has vowed to block all military promotions (who knew Senators had that power?) and now the Army, Navy and Marine Corps have no Senate-approved commanders in place.

        Other than how it screws over low-ranking officers, I really give no shits at all about Tuberville’s blockade. It makes him look like an idiot, and he is an idiot, and I’m pretty sure the Army, Navy and Marine Corps can do all their armying, navying, and marine corpsing without Senate-approved leadership.

        But man, I got a laugh out of that “aiding and abetting the Communists” crack.







  • I’m genetically allergic to ads, and have five adblockers running, but you got me curious so I went to the posted story on a different browser, without the blockers, and

    MY EYES, MY EYES!!!

    There’s an oversided banner ad, a floating and moving video, soon a popup ad that blocks the whole page, and more animated ads in the sidebar as you scroll down.

    Sigh. I don’t object to ads that sit there waiting to be read, but I can’t stand the ads that block what you’re there to see, ads that follow your mouse, ads that wave and shout and jump around for attention, and my favorite at many TV news sites, the last ad that pops up when you scroll your mouse toward closing the tab.

    I don’t even believe in hell, but if it exists it’s jammed full of people who worked in advertising. :)
