Arrgh! Why didn't Tom Hanks' new movie get released today? Missed marketing opportunity!
Since I failed in the past year to learn either Somali or Malay, I won't be speaking like a (modern) pirate today.

The appeals court reversed a lower-court judge who said that simply clicking the “Like†button on a Facebook page didn’t amount to “a substantive statement†that warrants constitutional protection.
“Liking a political candidate’s campaign page communicates the user’s approval of the candidate and supports the campaign by associating the user with it,†U.S. Circuit Judge William Traxler wrote. “It is the Internet equivalent of displaying a political sign in one’s front yard, which the Supreme Court has held is substantive speech.â€

Morning
Finally decided to get up and join the world this morning (thank God and the Unions for vacation days).
Lived in the NoVA for probably 20 years in addition to visiting my fam for 20 years before that who have lived here all my life. For all its pain in the ass qualities I still like this place
But I always forget that people do get to see this place beyond the big marble buildings and monuments. Yeah, its a city, even though it doesn't look like NY or LA, its still full of great people just living their lives.
Stereotyping is one of those things that is so easy to recognize in others, and so easy to miss in yourself. It's a shorthand way to dismiss a large group of people based on some shared characteristic by assuming some other shared characteristic.

It's kinda like the assumption that all of NY is the city -- and all of NYC are fancy pants liberal elites or --
WALL STREET.
I'm glad Bobber wrote this today.

That's one of those things I've loved about DC too. There are lots of things I would love to go to NYC and see but I'm rather intimidated by it. DC I just get the nearest metro and travel in. Granted I don't get too far past the Mall ( I love the Smithsonian) but I'm still not scared to come into the city by myself.,

Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday bought themselves more time to try to avert a government shutdown at the end of September, canceling a week-long recess that was due to begin on September 23.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor announced that the break had been scrapped after conservatives in the party rejected his plan to temporarily fund the government in the new fiscal year and stage a vote to defund "Obamacare" health reforms.
Bad news for anybody hoping to avoid another budget crisis: Late Tuesday afternoon, National Review‘s Robert Costa broke the news that House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) will cave to the Republican Party’s right wing and introduce a continuing resolution that strips funding for Obamacare. Senate Democrats will block this, and then … well, nobody knows for sure. If somebody doesn’t figure out something by Sept. 30, the government will shut down.

I never though you were. I was a little surprised when I found out that there are craft beers being canned.

Canning technology is much better than it used to be. Also - since good beer is meant to be poured into a glass, you are not getting that "can smell" in your nose. Cans weigh less and are cheaper to ship, and just as recycle-able as bottles, so they're slightly more "green"

So can the appeal verdict be appealed further up-court?

Not sure.. the decision dismissed all prior verdicts and replaced them with a full acquittal. And it's in the Texas judicial system, not federal. So even if it was appealed to the state supreme court that would go nowhere.
I thought all this shit was a federal case..
