Link of the Day [1.19.09]

Today's Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday and most people are off of work.
The president elect wants you to honor the honorable reverend's memory
by doing some community service. Together the nation can build itself
back into the great nation she was before fucktard president showed up.
So for those off today, go out and do something for the nation.http://www.usaservice.org/content/home/

Quote of the Day [1.18.09]

“I think that a particle must have a separate reality independent of the measurements. That is an electron has spin, location and so forth even when it is not being measured. I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it.”

Albert Einstein

I really need to get rid of some of my manga even the ones that I liked.

Perhaps, I should use the library more?

The problem with trading manga is that you still have manga at the end of the trade. Then you’ll be wishing to trade it some more. Plus, the shipping costs add to an even less investment.

Why don’t I feel the same way with my comic books? Is it because I know no one wants to read them again or is it because they’re not worth it?

Quote of the Day [1.16.09]

“I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Going, but not forgotten

Today’s Paul Krugman op-ed is good:

And to protect and defend the Constitution, a president must do more than obey the Constitution himself; he must hold those who violate the Constitution accountable. So Mr. Obama should reconsider his apparent decision to let the previous administration get away with crime. Consequences aside, that’s not a decision he has the right to make.

If there is one thing wrong with Mr. Obama, it’s that he’s still beholden to the status quo as regards to being the leader of the US. Being PUSA means being in a small, select club. There have been only 45 of them come next Tuesday, so it’s probably best to not mess with what the club deems a good thing. You have to protect your own kind, and all indications seem that Mr. Obama will do just that.

This re-establishes that the PUSA is above the law, and above the Constitution, a fact that the most heinous presidential administration believed. If the president elect does not endorse an inquiry into these past eight years, then he’s embracing the most embarrassing presidential administration’s beliefs and endorsing their criminality.

The PUSA isn’t better than you or me, a regular citizen, when it comes to the laws of the US. We are all equal under the Constitution. By not acknowledging that his predecessor flaunted and broke those laws, Mr. Obama sends the message that the office of the President of the United States is above the law and is king in his own land.

Our founding fathers are rolling their graves right now.

Get your very own cup noodle vending machine! Raise your blood pressure while you’re at it.

According to Danny Choo because I can’t read Japanese, today’s link is a chance to win a personal cup noodle vending machine. No word on if you get any cup noodle to fill it up. I bet they also give you a year’s supply. I wonder how many cup noodle is a year’s supply? The way my blood pressure is, for me, a year’s supply is probably two with all the powdered mix (msg) dumped out.

Boldly going where every man goes in time

http://www.khaaan.com/ That's as classic of an internet meme link that I can post, but sitting
behind IniTech's corporate firewall I'm not sure what you'll be seeing.
This link should've been the link of the day, if I wasn't posting things
in advance, but I was, and now I am writing a post acknowledging the
death of Ricardo Montalban. Rest in peace, Khan Noonien Singh, Kirk
wishes you well."To the last, I will grapple with thee… from Hell's heart, I stab at
thee! For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!"
