This is usually what I think about when Michelle Obama gets up there and talks about childhood obesity. And while her campaign is all about making our children healthy and telling them to eat vegetables and to be active her husband is the head of a government that seems to have no problem continuing subsidizing meat, dairy and corn to the point that the groceries surrounding our kids are 90% filled with stuff that’s bad for them and made in really disgusting ways. Not to mention the negative impact all that has on the livelihood of people all around the world. She’d do more good just telling the country why Monsanto, Tyson, Purdue, etc should go fuck themselves. via Shakesville

“When the “al-Qaida Seven” and their two DoJ colleagues fought to defend alleged terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, they weren’t fighting to protect jihadist murderers. They were defending the U.S. Constitution—the great whomping chunks of the Bill of Rights that Cheney and her friends are so eager to write out of existence. They did it because that’s what lawyers are ethically obligated to do. They did it because—as Spencer Ackerman points out—the Military Commissions Act of 2006 expressly provided that detainees get defense lawyers. And they did it, as Jay Bookman notes, for the same reason John Adams agreed to represent British soldiers charged with killing civilians during the Boston Massacre in 1770. Because long before Liz Cheney was born and long after she’s gone, the Bill of Rights requires serious people to take it seriously.”

-Dahlia Lithwick on Liz Cheney’s McCarthyism 2.0, revealed in this new web ad campaign.

I’m banning myself from posting here until I finish something for ChiPo, which you should totally visit on a daily basis.

Update: No one but Jen knows this but I failed this mission. I had to scrap the entire subject because I was starting to bore myself. Still working on it.

My cat acts bad and know when she acts bad because she runs to hide before I can grab and discipline her. Unfortunately any kind of attention is positive to her so the only thing that you can do is put her on a time out/solitary confinement. Usually it’s my bedroom but I tried the bathroom this weekend and after 10 minutes she had dug out all the tampons from under the sink, unrolled the toilet paper and opened the medicine cabinet and found a bevy of Q-Tips, her favorite toy. She was on her 6th by the time I caught her. She’s lucky she’s so damn cute.
