— Ace Unimpressed, is the basic tone of the piece.
I like this guy's writing. It's snarky but like ALL CAPS N EXCLAMATION POINTS DO-YOU-GET-IT?!! type snarky. I suppose "puckish" is a better word.
When the president arrived, 40 minutes later—stepping out of his SUV, smiling, with a little wave—the nerves subsided. The cafe is split into two long halves, and he first turned to visit its opposite half, smiling, shaking hands, shaking more hands.And then—for the first time in nearly an hour—I could work. I found that I was so accustomed to his voice, how he holds his body, his aura, that ignoring him in person is as easy as ignoring a TV. Easier, in fact. He stops being the president and starts being That Guy Who You See In Tweets, That Guy Who Gives Speeches, That Guy.
That Guy shook exactly half the hands on the other side of the restaurant. He came back to our side. He addressed the five people sitting adjacent to me—who were, indeed, apparently there to talk to him.
That Guy said he would save our whole side of the restaurant for after the meal. But then, next to me, on my other side, he spotted a baby.
He apologized to the group. He could not resist, he said, a baby.
Oh, and let me post this so I can finally close the tab. I'm pretty sure this was in the sidebar and the Morning News Dump or the ONT if not all three. Still, it bears even more mention:
Philadelphia police search for 'Swiss Cheese Pervert' who offers women money to watch him touch himself with cheese...
A number of women have reported being approached by the “white, heavy set male” who is known as the “Swiss-Cheese Pervert” in the Mayfair area of Philadelphia, US.
Every man's fantasy, you know.
Is this related? Must be, right? Everything's connected, my television told me. It also told me to kill a whore.
Thanks to @katmckinley and @doreenhdixon. I think. I don't completely remember where I saw these things.
Oh, and via @rdbrewer4, Jimmy Fallon and Chris Christie's hero Bruce Springsteen goof on Christie over Bridgegate.

they came up with the Video Myth in Benghazi
Is this in a new report? If so, was this during or after the attack? I mean, were they even dead yet or just slightly warm, nearing room temp while all of this important squirrel story session was taking place?
I really hate these people.

and after that meeting they started peddling the video myth<<<
Didn't Panetta specifically testify before Congress that he met with Obama once, for some pre-scheduled meeting, as Benghazi was happening, so it became part of the discussion, then he never heard from SCOAMF again that night?
If Herridge is correct, and they have proof, Panetta's head (at the very least because of direct testimony) should be put on a pike (metaphorically).

Good! Catch that perv.
Reminding ourselves of course that if the perp had not been white, he would therefore have been described only as a "heavy set male".
And after eventual predictable outbursts of identity politics indignation via the fat lobby -- pardon me, the "Plus-Sized-American Community" -- you can further expect that the police will stop describing suspects as "heavy set", if those suspects happen to be.
It's where 21st century policing is going. Equal opportunity suspects.

Oh frabjous joy. Northern Virginia has become LA. Jim Moran's 2012 primary challenger ( I think he got 25 votes) has announced for the open seat. From his press release:
“As a straight white married father, it may come as a surprise that I am considered a diversity candidate. ..I’m a Fighter Pilot and a Feminist …a Naval Academy and West Point graduate who knows what it is like to be bullied. I have roomed with at least two gay midshipmen and I will be the loudest voice in the land for equal rights for all minorities to include our transgender brothers and sisters ..
I’m a Harvard Business School Graduate who thinks that greed is not good … the least we can do is pass the Dream Act. The best we can do is put policies in place that will enable us to “tear down that wall”. An expensive and oftentimes ineffective barrier between two countries at peace with each other has costs that can’t be quantified in dollars and cents alone…..
I have flown over the world’s most hostile terrain with some of our country’s deadliest weapons, and I am convinced I was safer there than I would be on the ground of too many of our gun-laden streets of America. Clearly, we are not “well-regulated” enough.
….Too many in Congress embrace, and fund, an atmosphere of never-ending national security crisis. We spend about 150 times more on Defense, Homeland Security, and the “black budget” than we do on research to cure cancer. Yet we are thousands of times more likely to die of cancer than to terrorists. I call for a new kind of space race – to cure cancer and other diseases."
Arggh. I hope Mary Catherine Hamm or Jim Geraghty runs. They won't win but what fun it would be.

There is nothing wrong with your computer thread. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity.

Helps to flip once after 9-10 min or so when you check to make sure they're not burning.
Also lower temp for longer keep the spatter to a minimum.

"Mr. Weinstein thinks guns are necessary for self-defense, but only in other countries, during genocides and if the weapon is not personally owned.
Mr. Stern pointed out the inconsistencies in Mr. Weinstein’s earlier comments about a project about Jews defending themselves during the Holocaust. The producer replied that the justification for using a gun is “when you’re marching a half of a million people into Auschwitz.”
Mr. Weinstein does not seem to know that the Nazis were able to confiscate the guns that the Jewish people owned based on GermanyÂ’s government registry."
Harvey Weinstein's IMDB page indicates that he's produced, and I assume made money, on a number of movies featuring firearms.

MOAR AMNESTY!!!
Excerpt from Letter from AT&T CEO*
"Immigration Reform: AmericaÂ’s unique competitive advantage has always been its ability to attract the best talent. Congress should fix the broken immigration system to create a larger pool of visas for higher-skilled workers, enact a new visa system for lower-skilled workers, offer a path forward for undocumented workers already living in the United States, and allocate greater resources to strengthen enforcement and secure our borders. Done right, reform can increase our economic growth rate, reduce our deficit, and contribute significantly to AmericaÂ’s future."
