Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

An interesting collage of teabaggers' protest signs from this weekend.

Most of them are rehashing the old canards (birthers, racists, gun rights, etc.), but I'm puzzled over the idea of Obama's "national security force." Does anyone know what this is supposed to be?

His own private army, like the SS or something. Because that's what he's up to with some volunteer service organization thing he's pushing.

Good lord, that's Emmett's idea of heaven.

Though I have moved him towards the joy of Salty Snacks and treats.

Yesterday at the movies (HP:HBP in IMAX) at the Metreon we went to the odd little farmer's market they've installed on the ground floor where they've got all this space available due to failed shops. But they have some super delicious little food stands and now we're both hooked on the empanada shop. We're worried it's going go away. They have a dessert empanada too with bananas and dulce de leche.

Man, reading about the 9-12 stuff is saddening. So much anger about health care reform without anything about specific policy that is making people mad. I can think of a couple of upsetting parts, but the outrage seems to just be over doing anything. Something has to be done and there seems to be no serious policy debate at all, just anger.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Obama's "National Security Force" is a Glenn Beck rumor. A Bogeyman to scare the Right.

The National Security Force came from a campaign speech in which he had the lines.

"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

There is no policy about it, just that line and it was probably a flub.

Wow, I just got the nicest email from a coworker. I wish I could just forward it along with my resume when I'm applying for jobs....

I always save those, Jesse. They're good for two things: a pick me up when things are going badly, and for reference when filling out those stupid evaluation forms every damned year.
