I guess my father died oppressed…

…since he passed away in 1987 and lived his entire life denied, at least according to a French court a basic human right:

The Constitutional Council declared access to the internet to be a basic human right, directly opposing the key points of Mr Sarkozy’s law, passed in April, which created the first internet police agency in the democratic world.

Who knew all these years generations of humans were denied a right so basic?

Lets take this to it’s logical end. If the internet is a basic right then of course electricity and plastic and all the components necessary for them must be a basic right too.

This means we (or perhaps the French) must immediately go into the amazon and Africa and build as many power plants as possible to provide people with this basic right. And of course since all this stuff requires plastic we will need more oil by which plastic is created.

You know it seems to me silly season never really ends.

This is going to sound a bit crass but lady if you and the commenters here can’t get it though your collective heads that killing a bear that breaks into your house is a good thing then you deserve to be lunch.

It’s the quote about people so reasonable that the refuse to take their own side of an argument taken to an absurd extreme. Via Glenn.

This is it:

A total of 43 children were directly and indirectly shocked by electric stun guns during simultaneous ”Take Your Sons and Daughters to Work Day” events gone wrong at three state prisons, according to new information provided Friday by the Florida Department of Corrections.

Also, a group of kids was exposed to tear gas during a demonstration at another lockup.

No word yet on how the “show your daughter the front lines” event in Afghanistan worked out.

when his first 4 posts of the day contain at least one of his taglines. All we are missing is an “indeed”.
