Rumor goes in, bounces around a bit, eventually reaches a state of excitation and polarization sufficient to break through the normally impenetrable barrier that separates blogs from the mainstream media. And the result is a searing stream of FALSE that burns everything it touches.

It’s like a LASER, but with nonsense as input and paid hacks as the oscillator. I shall call it the RASH : Rumor Amplification by Stimulation of Hacks.

Pump the propaganda! Pump it!

As usual.
Good time for the A/C to die!

Such problems. There are people out there who don't even have internet access so they could get a blog on which to complain about such things!

This game is really really great. Not only is it a fun side-scrolling puzzle game, it's the best looking game I've ever seen, and it's all rendered in dark grays. The view zooms in and out depending on where you are, and the world goes out of focus on the edges of the screen, which, along with the blurred background (and foreground) creates a nice feeling of walking through a 3D world. Plus, it's done in all dark grays, with a constant subtle flicker and grain that gives it the appearance of old B&W film.

The solutions to most of the puzzles are hard enough to be challenging, and many of them are hilarious - in a grim and absurd way - but a few were really subtle, and I had to peek at a walkthrough a couple of times. Still, it's not as difficult as the very similar 2D side-scrolling puzzler, Braid, which was kind of over-the-top hard, at times. This was just right.

It's quick, too. I got through it in a few afternoons.

The NYT moans bout Obama's failure to be FDR:

In similar circumstances, Franklin D. Roosevelt offered Americans a promise to use the power of his office to make their lives better and to keep trying until he got it right. Beginning in his first inaugural address, and in the fireside chats that followed, he explained how the crash had happened, and he minced no words about those who had caused it. He promised to do something no president had done before: to use the resources of the United States to put Americans directly to work, building the infrastructure we still rely on today. He swore to keep the people who had caused the crisis out of the halls of power, and he made good on that promise. In a 1936 speech at Madison Square Garden, he thundered, “Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me — and I welcome their hatred.”

In similar circumstances?

When FDR gave that first inaugural speech, he'd been elected by 42 of the 48 states, his party outnumbered the GOP by almost 200 in the House, and by over 20 in the Senate.

These are not similar circumstances.

Those were the shoes — that was the historic role — that Americans elected Barack Obama to fill.

Actually, no, you don't know what I voted for.

Facebook Scrabble just told me that "WUXIS" is not a word. I had to ask.
