The Disney Concert Hall actually had to be "brushed". It was originally too shiny, and focused the sunlight in places. They had to give it a brushed finish after the fact to avoid this.
It amazes me that so many allegedly "educated" people have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a gigantic ball of rock happens to orbit our planet, showing itself in neat, four-week cycles -- with the same side facing us all the time -- is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, God-fearing Americans (as if any further evidence was needed! Daddy's Roommate? God Almighty!)
Documentaries such as Enemy of the State have accurately portrayed the elaborate, byzantine network of surveillance satellites that the liberals have sent into space to spy on law-abiding Americans. Equipped with technology developed by Handgun Control, Inc., these satellites have the ability to detect firearms from hundreds of kilometers up. That's right, neighbors.. the next time you're out in the backyard exercising your Second Amendment rights, the liberals will see it! These satellites are sensitive enough to tell the difference between a Colt.45 and a.38 Special! And when they detect you with a firearm, their computers cross-reference the address to figure out your name, and then an enormous database housed at Berkeley is updated with information about you.
Of course, this all works fine during the day, but what about at night? Even the liberals can't control the rotation of the Earth to prevent nightfall from setting in (only Joshua was able to ask for that particular favor!) That's where the "moon" comes in. Powered by nuclear reactors, the "moon" is nothing more than an enormous balloon, emitting trillions of candlepower of gun-revealing light. Piloted by key members of the liberal community, the "moon" is strategically moved across the country, pointing out those who dare to make use of their God-given rights at night!
Yes, I know this probably sounds paranoid and preposterous, but consider this. Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950. That is when it was initially launched. When President Josef Kennedy, at the State of the Union address, proclaimed "We choose to go to the moon", he may as well have said "We choose to go to the weather balloon." The subsequent faking of a "moon" landing on national TV was the first step in a long history of the erosion of our constitutional rights by leftists in this country. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down.
In other news, Jack Thompson's body was found in Florida. Apparently his head had exploded. A copy of the Journal of Youth and Adolescence was found on his desk.
As much as I would like to obtain your business, your request that I perform an act that is illegal under the CFAA forces me to decline your potential offer of a loan, and go to your competitor.
It has nothing to do with " if she really thinks anyone in the government gives a damn about her site and the emails between her and her collaborators".
In my opinion, PJ is dealing with what is, to her, a huge betrayal.
She has always said to have faith in the justice system, that it will all work out in the end. Now she finds out that it's all a huge sham. It's almost as if a devout $INSERT_RELIGIOUS_TYPE_HERE found proof that there is no $DIETY.
To continue mixing metaphors, the rug has been pulled out from her worldview.
This is a major shock to her, and while you may view her response as an overreaction, it's eminently reasonable in other senses.
Another reason. PJ has ALWAYS run GL in the most ethical manner of any site I've seen. She believes she can no longer communicate via email in a manner that protects her and her sources privacy. The ethical thing to do is shut it down, so she did.
I'd mod you up if I had mod point. Of all the US-based MSM, IMHO, the CSM tends to be the most neutral, and have the most unslanted analysis. Even most of their editorial content is secular.

OK, how about the fact that Yahoo! puts ads on the pages for AT&T email (which I *DO* pay for)?
Am I entitled to complain now?

Except for the Tenth Amendment, which explicitly prohibits Congress from enacting laws that are not constitutionally within its purview .

No this is why you don't listen to Hollywood actors when it comes to vaccination.
"Actor" (actress).... rather a stretch when it comes to describing Ms. McCarthy, isn't it?
That's the exact thought I had while reading GP.
The MoFos represented Novell vs. SCOX.
I believe they were on the Oracle team in Oracle v. Google, but my memory may be off there.
Yeah, I think GP was conflating DOS and BASIC.
No, he actually bought it... at bargain basement prices because he didn't tell Tim Paterson that he had IBM as a customer.
Dear Credit Company,
As much as I would like to obtain your business, your request that I perform an act that is illegal under the CFAA forces me to decline your potential offer of a loan, and go to your competitor.
Thank you,

In other words, Cardinal Richilieu was correct:
give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I would find something in them to have him hanged.

You will be missed, PJ.
The Russkies just would have used "Wisk" against the "Ring around the planet".

Dear President Obama,
If you don't know of any abuse of these programs, may we suggest you ask the DEA?
