Glenn Greenwald wonders why it is OK for Sarah Palin to wear a lapel pin of an Israeli flag.

Curious choice of lapel pin by the great Mrs. Palin. An attempt to reach out, I guess. See, she does know about other countries !!!

Also interesting later in the article is the apparent subversion and takeover of the Tea Party by the GOP.

Agreed, the RE agents that specialize in apartment rental are mostly scumbags. I'm not saying they will lie to you, but they often will not tell you anything bad about the place unless you ask. On craigslist look for the owner/no-fee listings and save yourself a month's rent on the bullshit realtor fee.

I don't know if you've rented around here before, but couple other things -

Spend as long in the apartment as you possibly can during visit. This will likely be the only time you get to inspect it, before moving in. I check cabinets for roach traps, look at windows, run the shower etc. If tenant is home, get info from them!

And ask about heat, and exactly what it costs. Avoid oil if you can, because it gets crazy expensive.

I like the bit at the end where all those parked cars start exploding out of nowhere.

matzopacalypto

what the FUCK, man.

matzopacalypto

Yes! I also think this is possible.

Now this also occurred to me the other night when Flocke says that he wants to "go home" -- What if he's being kept there against his will ?

Like there seems to be a history of controlling him -- the circles of ash, the sonic fence. Whereas Jacob can come and go, and even bring people to the Island if he wants.

Thank you for your co-operation. Good night.

Hilarious! I like the flies running a race XD

breathtaking.

Kind of conflicted about this. Even though they're basically being kidnapped out of Haiti, these kids standard of living - even life expectancy - would be vastly improved.

Also, the attitude towards familial attachments is different in other cultures. Like article points out, parents often willingly give up their kids if they think its a good opportunity.

But something about how this group planned to just come in and pick up kids and leave ASAP, without permission or paperwork, is fucked up. Sounds like some of these kids had parents who didn't necessarily consent to this. It leaves the door open to any number of other abuses of "trying to help."

Could be, could be. Piett also hadn't bad-mouthed the Force like that other guy from ANH.

I still feel it violates precedent, if you will. ;)

Watch it again. Piett looks scared, everyone's expecting something to happen -- but Vader just walks away.

But maybe I'm reading too much into it. It would have been a little jokey to have Vader choke another person.

EDIT: Know where we could find a copy of the script online ?

EDIT: OK, found one here:

EXT. SPACE

The Falcon soars into infinity and away from the huge Star Destroyer which seems, by contrast, to stand still.

INT. VADER'S STAR DESTROYER - BRIDGE

Admiral Piett and another captain glance at Vader in terror. Vader turns slowly and walks off the bridge, his hands held behind his back in a contemplative gesture.

4 months. I was suffering from a severe bit of depression.

I feel like Afghan wu shu would be pretty hardcore.

matzopacalypto

Hey I've been there I think! Is that Shubenacadie ?

matzopacalypto

ha -- they're actually pretty close in my mind.

matzopacalypto

that is so cool! thanks --

matzopacalypto

Word. Survivors I've met do not romanticize the horror and desperation they endured. They're relieved their kids and grandkids won't know anything like that.

matzopacalypto

gah! I never sausage a thing --

Good heavens! * teacup shatters *

I like how his buddy can't do it at all :0)

matzopacalypto

I really kind of feel like we're expected to notice it. Like even the other officers in the room seemed surprised.

Watch it again -- this is the only time Vader doesn't kill one of his guys for screwing up.
