<blockquote><p>President Obama&#8217;s approval rating of the American public has fallen to an all-time low, according to a new Gallup survey of White House residents and employees.</p>
<p>Fewer than one in 10 Americans earned the president&#8217;s favor, according to the president. That is down sharply from six in 10—the percentage of Americans Obama approved of shortly after his election in November 2008, and the lowest level yet for his administration.</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re not doing a very good job, frankly,&#8221; said the president. &#8220;Most of them, I mean. Some are. But not many.&#8221;<br />
Obama&#8217;s job approval for how Americans are performing has fallen in every category, from the economy to health care and the environment.</p></blockquote>
<p>And for some reason, I fully believe this President does sit in judgement of the people he&#8217;s supposed to serve.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Until recently I imagine that most of the country, much like myself, knew little or nothing about Humberto Leal Garcia, the illegal immigrant* who became a vicious rapist and murderer back in 1994.  At any given moment there are probably thousands of animals locked up in our nation&#8217;s penitentiaries for crimes similar to Humberto&#8217;s, and once in awhile the justice system provides the ultimate penalty for such actions: death.</p>
<p>But then President Obama had to ask the Supreme Court to step in.  And now I know all about the crime that Humberto committed on the sixteen year old idiot who should have been at home sneaking phone calls to boys instead of drinking and doing drugs with people who saw her as nothing more than a piece of meat.  I know that this animal deserved to die, and citizen of the United States of America or not, represented by the country of his birth (Mexico) or not, represented by the crack legal team of Robert Shapiro and Jose Baez or not, this confessed murderer, sodomizer and rapist deserved his punishment.</p>
<p>So despite the plethora of weird shit coming out of Texas lately, the Lone Star does continue to shine and on occasion <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/07/07/white-house-seeks-delay-mexican-mans-execution-as-supreme-court-mulls-case/" target="_blank">lights the way for the rest of us</a>**.</p>
<p>If you missed the story,<a href="http://courtlistener.com/pdf/2005/10/19/Leal_v._Dretke.pdf" target="_blank"> the gory details are here</a>.</p>
<p>We can all sleep better knowing <a href="http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/10pdf/11-5001.pdf" target="_blank">the Supreme Court still has a sane majority</a>.</p>
<p>Thank you, Texas.</p>
<p>* It should be noted that this particular illegal immigrant was brought into this country at the age of two.  I don&#8217;t fault him for his status as an illegal, but I do fault Mexico for pretending they actually care about this nothing who has contributed nothing to their country.</p>
<p>** Have to give the pig credit for trying&#8230; shouting &#8220;vive mejico&#8221; on his way to his eternal slumber was a &#8220;made for TV&#8221; act.  I wonder how much the producers told him they&#8217;d give his family if he would do that for them?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some time ago, I read an article about the Office of Naval Research collaborating on an online game to help develop strategies to use against the pirates currently operating off Somalia, etc.  &#8220;Cool,&#8221; I thought, and added my email address to the page to be notified when the game was ready for users.  Then I forgot all about it.</p>
<p>Lately, I&#8217;ve been getting spammed from a mailing list that I did not recognize, and as is the norm for poorly operated and maintained mailing lists, further spammed by morons hitting &#8220;reply to all&#8221; and requesting to &#8220;unsubscribe.&#8221;  To add insult to mental injury, the spam from the list contained NO information regarding the game, other than to say, &#8220;Here&#8217;s a mailing list for suckers who provided us their email address but haven&#8217;t been selected to actually play the game.&#8221;  Kind of a sick joke, but my dark side gets it.</p>
<p>None of the emails I&#8217;ve received contained instructions to unsubscribe.   I assume that &#8220;feature&#8221; uses a specialized address to handle such functions; I recall one list I used years ago that appended -unsubscribe to the actual address.  I guess it is my civic duty to crack this nut and&#8230; spam the list with the information.  Heh.</p>
<p>A hundred or so ignorant &#8220;reply to all&#8221; messages later (thanks google, for merging them into blocks (&#8216;threads&#8217;) instead of feeding them all to me in-duh-vidually!) and I decided to track down the original site in order to manage my subscriptions to this mailing list.  No such luck.  The system doesn&#8217;t recognize my email address as registered.  So obviously it cannot be sending me email.  But it is.  Or am I imagining it all?</p>
<p>*sigh*</p>
<p>Recently, the DoD acknowledged that cyber attacks are acts of war.</p>
<p>The DoN can&#8217;t properly manage a mailing list.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re doomed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I assume we can&#8217;t release the pictures because the photos of Osama bin Laden&#8217;s corpse being stuffed with raw bacon and fed to wild dogs might be insulting.  The line of sailors pissing over the rail while they dragged the remains a bit to turn them into shark chum on the props might be insulting to some terrorist asshole.  The visage of the pack of sharks tearing the rendered corpse to shreds and dragging it off into the deep is a sight that would undoubtedly cause sleepless nights to any children not already exposed to prime time television.  Oh, and it might upset the sensitivities of some jihadi shithead or another.</p>
<p>But hey, at least we know he&#8217;s dead.  Right?</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>P.S.  Thank you, George W. Bush; Thank you, United States Navy Seals; Thank you, Central Intelligence Agency; And thank you, to the thousands of unmentioned, unsung government employees and contractors who worked the last ten years to bring this mass murderer to justice.</p>
