Wednesday Miscellany!

• Diane Feinstein, ever the advocate for shredding the Constitution to suit her precious morals, is offended, so offended that the American intelligence apparatus would dare spy on Congress. (Spying on other Americans is apparently fine.)


• The NSA is planning on distributing malware to millions of computers — including one near you? — with almost no human oversight.


• Speaking of which, Bruce Schneier just finished posting the last of the known NSA exploits in his "NSA Exploit of the Day" series. Read the whole thing here!


• My favorite new word: зомбоящик, English transliteration Zomboyaschik, or Zombie Box. As in, television set. Think of Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, RT — and apparently Lenta.ru in the near future (Google translation, original in Russian).


• Wherein Kacy Faulconer is informed that she does not in fact know that her children will have chaste courtships. Kids are unpredictable, and tend to do things like develop free will, think for themselves, and create plans of their own.


• The Canadian Women's Hockey Team goalie just signed a contract with a minor league professional team. A "men's" professional team. Let's see how she does.

Do as I say, not as I do

Lady Di-Fi is being a typical person of priviledge. No one whines more when their rights have been trampled regardless of how often they watched (and probably abetted) it happening to others.

Doesn't the NSA now present a clear and present danger to the US? I think Obama needs to be sending them some drone strikes. Of course I'm sure this is going to fuel more anger from the business class so perhaps we'll actually get some traction against those bloody snooping wankers in the NSA. (Yup, talking about you guys again; hope your wife catches that stash of stolen webcam porn and digital recordings of sex talk between deployed veterans and their spouses!)

Either that or Robobox given how so many of the blondes on Fox look like advanced animatronic constructs. You know Newzbots.

Anyone who thinks their kids will live a chaste lifestyle probably has used draconian measures to make them terrified of sex. =[
