I’d like to believe that murdering a room full of kindergarteners a few days before Christmas is a great an evil as human beings are capable of. I want to feel sympathy, and empathy, for the poor children, their parents, their schoolmates, and everyone harmed by the bastard who did this thing. I’m glad he’s dead. I wish his evil could be buried with him — and a stake driven through its heart. But we all know that a greater evil is very much alive — and filled with glee. We all know there’s worse to come. And it’s going…

You, too, can have fun and commit war crimes just like the Big Boys! (H/T JG)
12 CommentsI used to nudge people toward encrypting their emails. “Encrypt everything!” I’d burble. “Even your cookie recipes! It protects privacy and drives ‘them’ crazy!” “Quick! Easy!” I continued to burble as I wrote “The Hardyville Beginner’s Guide to Encrypt**n” lo those many years ago (now obsolete, which is why no link). I eventually quit burbling. It’s not that I quit favoring encryption. I just got tired of hearing, “It’s too haaaaaaaaaaard.” I got tired of, “Well, if you want me to encrypt my emails to you, you’ll have to show me how.” Since I might have been the only person…
19 Comments… where crab is so plentiful people have to give away their surplus. Thank you, furrydoc! I haven’t opened and eaten a whole crab since I was 19. And that was on a beach in San Francisco, where the crab was accompanied by large torn chunks of French bread and I was accompanied by … a tall, dark stranger. Might not have the ambiance this time and my dinner companions will all be short, four-legged and hairy. But this’ll be a delicious adventure.

5 CommentsSpeaking of Amazon (as unfortunately we were earlier today), I owe another round of thanks! For the DVD of one of my old faves, Lagaan, another thank you to the ever-generous Anonymous. And I’ll enjoy stevia-sweetened ketchup for a long time to come thanks to RB. “Mmmmmm!” say the dogs. “Peanut butter-flavored rawhides. Woof-woof, MC!” And JG & Family … that cool collapsible steel cup is going straight into my bug-out bag as soon as it’s finished complementing my Christmas tree. I had to close my Amazon wish list and will never be able to use it again. But you…
3 CommentsYou’ve heard people sneering about PETA protestors attacking society women for wearing fur but refraining from attacking outlaw bikers for wearing leather. Well … what if … (H/T MJR) Apocalyptic dog food for your best friend’s bug-out bag. “The Luxury of Anger” and how gun carriers hold themselves to a higher standard. Well said, Caleb. So where’s Bob Costas and his sanctimonious ranting now? How far off the fiscal cliff will you fall, if it comes to that? Even before the election, fans of cannabis in Washington state were worried about DUI provisions of the law that could get people…
6 CommentsIf you’ve ever sent me anything from Amazon.com, please do me a favor. Right now, while you’re thinking of it, go and delete me from your Amazon address book.* This is important. Amazon just denied me one of the biggest single commissions I would ever have received. Their reason? As boilerplated by someone signing itself David T: I found some of the items, including the [expensive item in question], listed in your account’s Orders Report were flagged by our system as ineligible for Associates advertising fees. Due to the proprietary nature of the way we make these determinations, we can’t…

7 CommentsThe subject of Michael W. Dean (earlier post today) arose because Michael let me know that he and Neema Vedadi pimped our free anti-snitch book, Rats! in their recent Freedom Feens podcast, “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here. This is the pod room. That’s not the only comment Rats! earned in the last week or so. A gentleman (I presume he’s a gentleman) named Butzy, who has some interesting background, wrote (with slight cleanup by me; I don’t think English is Butzy’s native language): Good primer. But most important, as you said but not really, do it by yourself. You…
