H. Clinton’s “surprise hatchet job”

No surprise that “We came, we saw, he died” Clinton would be a sleazy politician, like the rest of them.  Please.  Ask her about her contributions to the massacres in Libya and Syria today.

The former secretary of state’s own staff worked to kill the project

Clinton’s press secretary Nick Merrill “interrogated” [director Charles Ferguson] about the plans for the project and repeated questions about his approach. Merrill also informed the filmmaker that Clinton wouldn’t be available to be interviewed for the project.

Clinton’s longtime aide Phillipe Reines also took part in the plot to kill the movie.

This Is The End (2013)

Stupidity on Steroids

If you can handle a couple hundred dick jokes, half as many jizz jokes, quite a few male on male sex jokes and the Apocalypse, then you’re ready.

This is crude and crazy, but funny as hell.  It’s stuffed with dark humor and self-parody.  Actors, as the pinnacle of our society, are torn down and exposed for the egomaniacal, selfish brats they are.  No one is going to mistake This is the End for a nuanced art film.  But if you’re feeling shitty, and you want to laugh at a bunch of clowns…

How the NSA builds social graphs of Americans with phone, email, and location records

“Since November 2010, the NSA has been conducting “large-scale graph analysis on very large sets of communications metadata without having to check foreignness,” documents provided by Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor, reveal.”

Sorry, Wyoming: “Supervolcano”

Mt St. Helens

“This is the end, beautiful friend.”

-Jim Morrison

 

Daily Mail UK is warning of volcanic activity at the world’s largest “supervolcano” at Yellowstone caldera.   Having not erupted in 600,000 years, Vulcan is pissed.

The super-volcano beneath Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming has been rising at a record rate since 2004

“Spewing lava far into the sky, a cloud of plant-killing ash would fan out and dump a layer 10ft deep up to 1,000 miles away.

Two-thirds of the U.S. could become uninhabitable as toxic air sweeps through it, grounding thousands of flights and forcing millions to leave their homes.”

As they say… fuck that shit.

It’s worse still, as the floor of the volcano has been rising 3 inches per year, as pressure shoots upward from Hades and the lava core beneath.

I repeat: fuck that shit.  I won’t be sightseeing in Wyoming any time soon.

There is an upside.  The global warming thing would be mitigated for a couple of years.  Yay.
