And then he sent out a response tweet basically saying "Well, shit, it was 3+ hours of hearing".

Hey, McWad, this morning I spent three hours in a Board meeting of our local community services district, and, remarkably, nobody was playing games on their phone. Because we take our low-level, local, representative positions seriously, you pusillanimous, entitled piece of fuck.

A lot of servers down this morning. Many sites can't be found and some others are putting up truncated pages (no art). Have the Syrians hackers started on us?

UPDATE: Seems resolved so I guess the NSA was just fine tuning some things.

Somewhere on this thread is a link to <em>The Atlantic</em> covering another moment in the day when Weiner put on a terrible Jamaican accent... They said the latest poll had Weiner in 4th place I think with 11%. I think I might start a new party - the The People Are Too Damn High party.

Hey Dick? You have about 14 years on me (my five key is broken), but even I, in my relative salad days of youth, know enough to not watch the video. Why do I need to watch a video when I know how to find pictures of the "Top 10 Sexiest Women of 2013"? Seriously are you so out of touch that you still don't realize that outlandish behavior drives ratings? Ed Sullivan figure that out in Nineteen Sixty Fucking Four. Where have you been? Of course, while the print you is tut tutting about foam fingers, the real you probably has the performance on endless loop on the monitor in front of your toilet, you pervert.

I tend to eschew politicians who find themselves "drunk and coked up" on a dance floor. That's one reason I didn't vote for Bush the Lesser. I wish more folks had understood my point of view.

On behalf of the reggae, dancehall, and rub-a-dub community, I want to apologize to the world for the longstanding Jamaican hostility to LGBTQ individuals.

Capleton reportedly signed the Reggae Compassionate Act, but may have continued to sing questionable songs in concerts.

He performed at a reggae festival I attended last year, and I did not dance during his performance at all. That's just how I roll.
