Veteran's Day and freakish 11-11-11 numerology open thread

111111 A fully expressed anti-binary, mapped onto time. Just typing it gave me chills. Or maybe it didn’t. The point being, you don’t know, do you? –the significance, I mean? — and you may not be in a position to know what you know you don’t know. Is all I’m saying. Man. It’s days like this I wish Robert Anton Wilson weren’t dead. **** update: Or is he?

There's something happening here…

I’m heading downtown to BlogCon11 this afternoon — in time, it seems, for a protest to erupt. The Occupy Denver kiddies got wind of the conference and naturally have to protest it. Because, you know — well, because, uh, KOCH BROTHERS RACISM HATE HATE HATE! Plus, you want to stop anti-Semitism, which is like, a violation of free speech and assembly for Nazis and anti-Zionist intifada champions! Or some such.

A thoughtful take on the Penn State story from a Penn State alum

Something to remember as we climb over each other in our zeal to express our moral outrage. Squid: As a PSU alum, one thing I’d ask is that people give us a few days to process all this. Every big college has a thorough indoctrination program; it’s how they keep the alumni dollars flowing back to Alma Mater year after year. Penn State is worse than most, I’d reckon, and

Pipeline denied

Obama and his State Department need to look more closely at the route, they say. So they’re going to have to delay any decision until after the 2012 elections: The State Department announced on Thursday that it will explore a new route for the TransCanada Keystone XL pipeline, pushing a final decision on the controversial project past the 2012 election. President Obama was under intense political pressure from environmentalists as

"Kagan to Tribe on Day Obamacare Passed: ‘I Hear They Have the Votes, Larry!! Simply Amazing.’"

Yes, but GINNY THOMAS! Plus, look: bunnies!

"The Missing Reform: Regulatory Tax Credits"

Good, good stuff. If you have time to read the .pdf, I recommend it. If not, here’s the executive summary. (h/t Jon G, via Twitter)

"Democrats want war savings to fund new stimulus package"

Remember: it was the fringe extremist TEA Party non-compromisers who tried to stop this, while the “sane” establishment types who hope to pick our candidate for the GOP nomination worked overtime to whip up the votes needed to forge a glorious compromise with the Democrats — one that, in addition to giving Obama the debt increase spending he wanted — is now hoping to provide him with even more “revenue”

"Anarchist Video Reveals Dark Side of #Occupy Movement"

Well, I might have gone with “reiterates” rather than “reveals,” but then, I’m notoriously prescient. The New Left once ate the mainstream Democrat party because they hated bourgeois liberalism and needed a base of operations for progressivism with a mainstream pedigree. Could the next evolution see the party move so far left that it actually circles around to extreme right? If Michael Moore suddenly explodes, I’m going to start getting

"Solyndra Emails Claim Biden Team 'About Had an Orgasm' About Energy Loans to Firm"

FOXNews: A series of emails provided to the House Energy and Commerce Committee from individuals tied to Solyndra offer striking characterizations about running strategy with the White House to secure assistance for the now-bankrupt solar energy firm. Emails among George Kaiser, head of the George Kaiser Family Foundation; Ken Levit, the executive director of the Foundation; and Steve Mitchell, who manages Argonaut Private Equity and was a member of Solyndra’s

THE MACHINES WILL BE OUR SALVATION

Or maybe, the software might prove helpful. Either way. What you choose depends on how much you have invested in Romney or Perry, frankly. And I’m all about giving you choices.
