On Fish

Was watching Fox Business today (I was changing channels and got distracted) and happened upon a fisherman complaining about the fact that if he didn't catch every fish they would get old and die.

How fucking arrogant are we that we think that it is in some way a waste if we do not capture every single fish in the sea.

What, me cranky?

On the facebook IPO

I have limited sympathy for folks that are whining because they didn't make a huge profit in the first few days of trading.

What is the matter with Kansas

Brownback Signs Anti-Sharia Law In Kansas | TPM Livewire: 

"Republican Kansas Governor Sam Brownback signed a bill aimed at keeping state courts and agencies from using Islamic or other non-U.S. laws when making decisions, his office said on Friday, drawing criticism from a national Muslim group.

The law has been dubbed the “sharia bill” because critics say it targets the Islamic legal code. Sharia, or Islamic law, covers all aspects of Muslim life, including religious obligations and financial dealings. Opponents of state bans say they could nullify wills or legal contracts between Muslims."
