Overnight Open Thread (6-25-2013)–Dynamic Equalization EditionSo How Did Snowden Get a Top Secret Clearance? The old fashioned way: Via incompetence, laziness, disorganization, and slipshod work.
It's a wonder there aren't dozens of Edward Snowdens running around. Why Armed Robbery in a CCW State is a Bad Idea Because this happens. A man trying to rob Atlanta customers waiting to buy the latest LeBron James sneakers was killed by a shopper who continued to wait on line after the shooting, according to NBC News. These are not worth your life. And your life certainty ain't worth losing a place in line either.
The Triumph of San Francisco Over the Golden State There was a time when California truly was the Golden State and the residents and mores of San Francisco were viewed as oddball curiosities that were good for entertainment but ultimately harmless. Then the inmates took over the asylum. Back in 1968 - the year in which this season's Mad Men takes place - what you wrote about the Golden State was mostly true. As a born-and-bred native now in his sixties, I can attest that - earthquakes aside - California was the place to live, the dynamic and confident state that you describe. George Orwell: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." The New York Times: Four blockbuster cases before the Supreme Court highlight the tension between formal equality and a more dynamic kind of equality that takes account of historical injustices. And I'm thinking their asses could use a little dynamic equalization. Conservative Political Analysts Wanted Evolving Strategies is looking for a few good political analyst types. Evolving Strategies is a political communications research firm specializing in randomized controlled experiments in the "lab" and in the "field." ES is bringing a scientific revolution to free-market/conservative politics. I may have extrapolated a little bit in the requirements but I'm pretty sure that's what they're thinking. 11 Things You Don't See on Planes Anymore Beds, pianos, pubs, and hawt stewardesses. What kind of decadent society would have these just hanging out in public? How We Knew It Was You: "DNA Fog" Soon crime scenes tag you. Applied DNA Sciences (ADNAS) has developed a new approach to solve crimes using DNA tagging. The difference is that instead of tagging the objects being stolen, they tag the pilferer with DNA. While this has been tried before by applying the DNA to a fleeing criminal with a gun, ADNAS has adopted a more subtle approach. "The designer shoe industry, to some extent, relies on the willful suspension of rational thinking." Reflections on a shoe sale in New York. In one room of the sprawling, glittering, intoxicating Shangri-La of shoes that begins at the top of the escalator on the second floor, were the smaller sizes: Manolo Blahnik pumps made of shiny turquoise patent leather ($322, down from $645); piles of citron and mint Lanvin leather ballerina flats ($247, from $495); and surreal pink pumps covered in blue crystals from Giuseppi Zanotti ($1,097, from $2,195). In another room were similarly decadent displays in larger sizes, beckoning from the racks like abandoned puppies. Teh Tweet!
