1 Conservatives need to be Honey Badgers.

2 The names and Social Security numbers of more than 309,000 students and staff from the University of Maryland, dating back to 1998, were stolen in a "sophisticated" security attack that penetrated recently bolstered defenses, the schoolÂ’s president announced late Wednesday.

President Wallace Loh apologized for what was one of the largest single data breaches suffered by a university in the last decade.

The university said it began investigating with law enforcement and private cybersecurity experts within 24 hours of learning of the breach of a specific database. The database contained the name, date of birth, Social Security and university identification number for every person issued university identification for its College Park and Shady Grove campuses since 1998. The university said no other information was compromised.

"With the assistance of experts, we are handling this matter with an abundance of caution and diligence," Loh said in a statement. "Computer forensic investigators are examining the breached files and logs to determine how our sophisticated, multi-layered security defenses were bypassed."

13 I read another story about a badger vs. lion encounter (by the way, YouTube has a lot of videos of this; apparently honey badgers like fighting lions). The lion retreated when the honey badger ripped his testicles off.

15 I'm thinking that one badger didn't live too much longer afterwards, after getting chomped on. I admire their tenacity and fearlessness, but they take it too far. Getting mauled by lions might be a sign to get the fuck out of there, not to just keep hanging around.

Posted by: BlueStateRebel at February 20, 2014 06:45 AM (7ObY1)

The wee MacGrubers love the NatGeoWild channel. One night, they showed a honey badger messing with a cobra. Badgers will eat, or try to eat, everything. This badger decided to eat a cobra. The badger killed the cobra but got bit and basically went into a severe state of shock, got up, then ate the snake.

Honey badgers are basically indestructible.

Not necessarily. It's entirely possible that the honey badgers themselves wanted to eat the lions. Honey badgers will eat anything. Honey badgers don't give a shit.

So I'd call this a tie, trending towards win for the honey badger.

61 Now we get the examples of "damage control" by making it look really bad so anything less is a victory ...

For all their internal divisions and long-term worries as a party, political scientists and historical trends give Republicans a clear advantage in the upcoming 2014 congressional elections.

Forget Obamacare, forget the government shutdown and forget the skirmish over the minimum wage. While these issues are atop the political conversation, mid-term elections are better understood by fundamentals like the economy and presidential popularity, voter turnout tendencies and the specific dynamics at play in the House and Senate.

In short, the deck is stacked against Democrats on Nov. 4, barring a drastic shift in the political landscape between now and then.

1. The Six-Year Curse For Presidents
2. Democratic Voters Don't Turn Out In Mid-Terms
3. Republicans Have A Mathematical Advantage In The Senate
4. The House Map Is Skewed Toward The GOP

85 White House health care adviser Phil Schiliro maintains that Obamacare canÂ’t be bad for jobs because some jobs have been created since it passed.

Â“You canÂ’t say the Affordable Care Act has killed job growth,Â” Schiliro told an audience at a Kaiser Family Foundation presentation Wednesday. Â“In the 46 months since it passed, over 8 million jobs have been createdÂ… No one would say the Affordable Care Act created those jobs, but you canÂ’t say the ACA has killed job growth.Â”

He's castigated today, when he hasn't been forgotten, as a racist and misogynist -- in other words, a realist -- so he'd fit right in here. If you like reading about Africa as is really was in the mid- to late '50s and early '60s, try his Uhuru and Something of Value.

One night, they showed a honey badger messing with a cobra. Badgers will eat, or try to eat, everything. This badger decided to eat a cobra. The badger killed the cobra but got bit and basically went into a severe state of shock, got up, then ate the snake.

Honey badgers are basically indestructible.

I saw that....and it was a puff adder, an even faster, and deadlier snake. It's bite knocked the honey badger on it's ass for nearly two hours. Then it woke up, finished eating the snake, and went about it's business.

Mom was a fine woman but without Dad around tended to get a little nutty.

In 1991 she got the idea in her head that she "wanted to sell out & move," and part of that was leaving all the contents of the house there. Including furniture Dad had custom-made for her and worth a fortune itself.

Well, she got the money she thought she wanted- and a few months later a neighbor down the street- not even on the ocean- got twice as much money.

I just finished reading two books by David Welky, the first was "Everything was Better in America: Print Culture in the Great Depression" and the last one was "The Moguls and the Directors: Hollywood and the Coming of World War II".

The first book examined how the press worked to convince the people that by holding on to conservative middle-class values would get them through hard times. It was interesting to see how the main stream media created a message that their target audience wanted to hear.

The second book was how the film industry, politicians and private interest, colluded on how to present Nazism, the overseas confilcts, FDR's policy to rearm the US, etc to the public.

Take-a-ways for me are that the more things change the more they stay the same and that the cake is a lie.
