Evening Open Thread/Headlines Thread

I thought gloating like a lunatic monster was uncouth until I read this.

Left-wing Rolling Stone reporter Matt Taibbi: You shouldn't hold it against Glenn Greenwald that he's a biased advocate with agenda, because all journalists are biased advocates with agendas. Some are just honest about it.

For once I agree with Matt Taibbi.

I couldn't draw you a picture of how stupid this is if I had a thousand crayons and a team of artists, 500 retards strong. Sir.

Stuxnet leak investigation turns to man who oversaw the program under Bush and then Obama, our former vice chair of the Joint Chiefs, General Cartwright.

Demented fantasist randomly chooses man on FaceBook to accuse of rape; ruins man's life, obviously.

In an act of inexplicable viciousness, 31-year-old fantasist Linsey Attridge chanced upon a photograph of Philip and his then 14-year-old brother James and used it to back up a story she’d concocted. She’d done it, apparently, in order to win some sympathy with her boyfriend, when she feared his affections were waning.

Let me note something obvious: When the loudest bloc of society has declared that it is a near-crime to suggest a woman may be lying about a rape charge, a rape charge is naturally the most attractive safe-harbor for an enterprising liar. It's almost bulletproof.

And here's some perspective for you. ("Too bloody much," David St. Hubbins just emailed me.)
