The Justice Department Spied on Fox News and White House Staffers, Too.
@6 - thanks for that link. I was wondering what information I was missing in all these "scandals." So far, there's really not much there.
If we're looking for head-slapping stupidity, I say we wait for the next round of congressional public mock-indignation they put on for their constituents. I'm sure the architects of the laws that made spying on U.S. citizens perfectly legal will be plenty outraged the government spies on US citizens.

Puggle: Love It or Shove It.
Kinda with @1. Specific breeds certainly have their place, but when it comes to a simple companion animal— you can start making fancy dogs when we're all out of regular dogs with nowhere to live.

No Wonder So Many Drivers Resent Seeing Their Tax Dollars Spent to Subsidize Transit.
@17 - But how do you define the "whole cost of the trip?" Upcoming maintenance on a section of Interstate 5 through downtown Seattle is budgeted at $150M, only a fraction of a percent of which is being paid for by the gas tax. Should drivers be asked to cover the rest out of pocket, or should we chalk it up to—like transit funding—the price we all pay to keep our area functional?

The Sunday Morning News.
Wasn't the best track I've heard by here, but those Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo? references were right-on in that Janelle Monae vid.
