Lately I’ve been hearing some gubmint hate against Google and Apple for giving their phones reasonably reliable self-destruct options and miscellaneous encryption.

Hate to break it to y’all, but the high-grade encryption genie is out of the bottle.  Some of the options are even free.

Google and Apple are merely offering accessibility of some modest degree of security such that if you happen to have your phone stolen your entire financial and/or personal life isn’t ruined.

I’m not exactly Mr. Privacy here, but the cost benefit analysis of forcing companies to give law enforcement back-doors is pretty poor.  Truly dangerous criminals will easily circumvent any back-door policy with readily available software.

I’ve been saying for a while that the Dems want a little over a $trillion budget deficit while the GOP wants a little less.

I wuz wrong.

The debt of the U.S. government has increased by $2.678 trillion in the 2.5 years since House Speaker John Boehner (R.-Ohio) completed his first deal to put legislation increasing the debt limit through a Republican-controlled House of Representatives.

Sorry for any confusion.

I’ve said that Obama was a lying sack of shit for saying that there wasn’t a smidgeon of corruption at the IRS.

I wuz wrong.

…83% were right-leaning. And of the groups the IRS selected for audit, 100% were right-leaning. (Italics in original V)

That’s not a smidgeon, that’s a shitload.

Sorry for any confusion.

I thought the military were a bunch of fucking assholes for sending an officer to jail for the killing of a murderous jihadi in Iraq during a war.

I wuz wrong.

Army 1LT Michael Behenna has won parole. Apparently he was notified that his clemency request was denied but the parole request was granted.

They’re fucking assholes for not pardoning him but slightly less assholish for at least letting him out of Leavenworth.

The other day I was looking for something else and saw a link to Commentary Mag, I wasn’t sure if Commentary was trustworthy or not so I clicked around and saw this article about the Presbyterian Church declaring war on Judaism so I figured they were sensationalists making crap up and didn’t use the link.

I wuz wrong.

Moreover, IPMN’s book argues, the American Jewish community actively stifles dissent against the Zionist narrative, taking advantage of the “ignorance and passivity of many liberal American Jews.”

IPMN is the Israel Palestine Mission Network.

Sorry for any confusion in not trusting them the other day.

I’ve been saying for a while that the truck bomb war in Lebanon would be heating up.

I wuz wrong.

The general strategy of the regime and its allies will likely take the form of fierce aerial bombardment followed by a ground campaign….

They’ve going the conventional warfare route.

Sorry for any confusion.

I didn’t think Hassan Nasrallah could make me laugh in any way except watching him get blown up.

I wuz wrong.

That’s fucking hilarious.  The # is a nice touch.

I wish my PShop-fu was a tenth as good as Aliceh or Slublog, that’s crying out for so much.

I’ve been hoping that SMOD was going to KILL US ALL!!

I wuz wrong.

The magnetic field is weakening and…

Experts believe we’re currently overdue a flip, but they’re unsure when this could occur.

If a switch happens, we would be exposed to solar winds capable of punching holes into the ozone layer.

The impact could be devastating for mankind…

The magnetic field flipping is going to KILL US ALL!!!!!

On the plus side, we’ll be able to say there are polar bears at the South Pole and penguins at the North Pole.

As an aside, it’s a good thing we’re all civilized and scientific and shit or else there would be a proliferation of doomsday cults as in centuries past.

I once made fun of someone for saying they could use a flowerpot in a robbery.

I wuz wrong.

Guy with flower pot on head robs gas station with chainsaw

You have to respect crazy that strong.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!!!!!

I thought Olympic skiing was kind of boring this year.

I wuz wrong.

Via who else? The Jawas.

I think there might be a hidden subtext here as well.

 

H/T the place where I get my little cigars. Makes me wonder if he sells them there Columbian cigars as well as the Dominican ones.

Bout damned time
