James Madison, War of 1812, while the Brits were sacking D.C.
The great internet is fucked up.
I guess my main complaint is you tube. Google is larding it up with thirty second ads and header and footer ads. I don’t know how to control it.
So, the future of the internet isn’t freedom, it’s ads.

A funny time on the USTAFISH.
There were dozens of fire extinguishers on the boat. The basic parts are the canister, handle, pull pin, and tamper seal.
Someone started to break the tamper seals and the local naval reactors reps started to find this as a recurring deficiency.
Our solution: Inspect more frequently. Every two or three hours.
Looking back it was kind of funny.
This works real good to repel bible thumpers, mormons, and Jehovah witnesses who stop by.
What did JC say on the mountain-top to SATAN, who had promised him the entire world if he would bow down and follow him?
Jesus said: ”Get thee hence, Satan!”
I understand it is like throwing garlic inside a vampire’s mouth.

We got a new dog from the pound.
We got her from a city pound near Raccoon City. I got some time off from my wholly-owned subsidiary, UMBRELLA Corp, to go with my wife BECKY. The dog is a dream and is very obedient. She walks with me and since she is three years old she is housebroken. A new wonder-dog.
All hail the new dog: MEGAN.
TED the wonder dog is dead.
He had congestive heart failure and simply couldn’t get enough air to his blood and blood to his body. He had a real bad day on Tuesday- I had to carry him everywhere.
He died in his sleep this morning.
Nothing has changed.
“Decency, security, and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means-to declare that the government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal-would bring terrible retribution. Against that pernicious doctrine this court should resolutely set its face.”
Mr. Justice BRANDEIS (dissenting) OLMSTEAD v US 1928
