BTW- we have had more fireflies this year than any year I can remember since I was a kid running around catching them in mason jars. I have no idea why, but I think it was the very wet spring and early summer.
Talk amongst yourself.
*** Update ***
BTW- the point of invoking Greenwald and Snowden in the previous post, other than the fact that they are inextricably connected to the story, is that the focus bizarrely has been on them rather than the revelations and confirmations that have been revealed. I don’t give a fuck if Bradley Manning listened to Lady Gaga and I don’t give a fuck about all the character assassination of two guys who you may or may not like. What matters is what they have released, what matters is if they have broken the law. What doesn’t matter is how this impacts Obama or whether or not Glenn Greenwald is the biggest dickhead on the planet.
I feel like I am dealing with insane people. Half the people on my twitter feed have completely lost their shit.

It just rains and rains here, I haven’t seen as many fireflies by me. When my son was young and learned about their luminosity chemicals, he caught some and smeared them on himself so he would glow in the dark. It worked and he was really happy, running about outside. Then he came in and found bug guts and legs all over his face, oh noes!
My other firefly story is that one year we were doing a bunch of fireworks, the ones that spin and fizz on the ground. The fireflies at the treeline all started flashing extra. A lot extra.

I think I”ve said this before, but Pacific Rim has 3 things going for it 1) Guillermo Del Toro director 2) Hellboy producers and some actors (Ron Perlman is in it) 3) IDRIS “mutha-futha” ELBA.
I don’t think the movie will be some “blockbuster” film, but at the very least, you can count on Del Toro for some good effect, filmaking and visuals, from Pan’s Labyrinth to Blade II to the Hellboy films, Del Torro does good “story” along with visuals like no other director seems to now-a-days (other than maybe Peter Jackson, but I consider him different than Del Toro, for some reason). Besides, who among us ever figured Hellboy for a “blockbuster”?

This reminds me of the types of regulatory changes that were supposed to come about through Sarbanes-Oxley. Some got implemented, but others were just delayed until it became kind of a joke to read about how “next year companies will have to comply.”

Good point. The whole ad-hominem thing is, well, a logical fallacy. Doesn’t matter.
Snowden definitely blew the whistle on a big story, and Greenwald reported it, so one would hope those would both be protected speech.
Did they break the law? Well, if what they were revealing is classified, then it’s obvious they did, but…. whistleblowers do that.
Manning and Assange, however, don’t seem to have actually exposed any wrongdoing. So I’m not sure where their actions stand.

(Yes, RRI suxx, but the chain is dog-friendly, and we were doing the late-night dog-potty.) I have a horrible suspicion that we’re ruining firefly habitat — along with that of frogs & other ‘vernal’ critters — first by blacktopping everything we can flatten, and then by declaring war on “standing water” so as to keep the mosquitos at bay.

Maybe the NSA has thousands of people locked up on false pretense, I’d probably believe if shown the evidence, but such things clearly haven’t even been close to revealed.
As to running to the PRC and Russia with NSA information about cyber warfare. Yeah, no, fuck you dude. Cyberwarfare is happening and the Chinese suck. I don’t want China to have a leg up on anything. If that makes me a lick spittle, good German, oh well. Don’t care.

On a particularly Southwestern note, this year we’ve seen a lot fewer centipedes in the house than usual. Typically we’ll see one a week that we have to catch and chuck outside; we assume the cats catch and consume a few we don’t see. They can be big suckers, as long as 6 inches, red and brown. Only a handful of times in our 10 years in New Mexico have we discovered one someplace really yucky, like crawling across the bed. At night. Usually we’ll find them, say, crawling up the wall or in the bathtub. This year, they’ve been scarce, though. This former Jersey boy isn’t complaining.

Let’s see, Snowden reveals PRISM, which is apparently what the NSA uses when it has a lawful warrant, Snowden’s claims to the contrary. Is the warrant a rubber stamp? Yes. Is it 24/7 “direct access?” No, more like exactly the opposite thing. Then he goes on about claiming to have access to POTUS’s email and all kinds of other things that also turn out to be as phony as a three dollar bill. Then he flies off to that bastion of freedom China where he starts publicly announcing that he’ll be selling off secrets, trading ’em for a pet phoenix or something.
So basically he’s a bug fuck crazy opportunistic liar who at least got people talking about something they should have already known about if they’d been paying attention. So yes, it’s great now people are newly aware that their communication is being intercepted by shady actors and generally untrustworthy people … like Edward Snowden.
