Apparently, we just haven’t had enough spanking over the past decade or so.

New headline:

SOURCES: FITZGERALD DECIDES TO SEEK INDICTMENTS… DEVELOPING…

We’ll all find out soon. And Raw Story will have egg on its face if its sources aren’t good.
UPDATE: The Washington Note has the latest indictment rumors: one to five are being issued; a press conference is being scheduled for Thursday.
UPDATE: Political Wire:

Meanwhile, a former high level Bush administration official told Political Wire that “people are turning on each other” at the White House. Lawrence Wilkerson is likely just the first to come out publicly against the administration.

Hmmm, juicy.

That’s the explanation The Daily Show’s Ed Helms offered for why TV news people stand out in the middle of a hurricane during their coverage. At any rate, this Al Roker episode illustrates how stupid the whole thing has become.
Perhaps it’s just me, but I don’t need a person standing out in the open to tell it’s windy and rainy. Simple video footage showing something flapping in the wind will suffice. Apparently if one of the cool kids does it, they all have to do it.

I tune into Neil Boortz for a few minutes this morning, and listen to him talk about looting. Boortz says he hears rumors of something going on in Florida. These rumors, by Boortz’s own admission, haven’t been confirmed by any news media reports, but they “make sense.” So like any responsible person would, he passes along the story that people have traveled to Naples, Florida, specifically so they can loot after the hurricane.
Quite a problem, or at least quite a rumor of a problem. The solution? Boortz advocates that anytime a region is declared a disaster area, the laws should be loosened allowing people to use deadly force not only when their life is in danger, but also when they feel property is threatened. Trespassing, on its face, is enough to trigger a reasonable suspicion of threat to property. So if you see a trespasser, you can shoot him or her, no questions asked.
Not only that, but Boortz wished aloud that sometime during this hurricane, he would hear of a looter being killed.
So now property is worth more than human life. It’s so refreshing to hear talk radio promoting moral values, isn’t it?

Over the weekend I upgraded to Miovable Type 3.2.
Although my eyes start to glaze over when I see terms like MySQL and php, the worst part of it was actually the simple act of transferring the files to the server where the website is located.
Note to self: figure out how to transfer more than one folder at a time using the file transfer program. Yeah, that didn’t take very long–only an hour or two. What a pain. Hopefully everything works.
