OK, here's what I think has happened to the Links: A Senate panel on Thursday approved a measure defining "journalist", and H&R bloggers didn't make the cut.
1. Snark Plissken 13 years ago
  
  Nick did, because he's such a cosmotarian. Unfortunately, he's too high and might to post MLs. That and he's got a terrible hangover from last night's cocktail party.
  1. Rich 13 years ago
    
    Hey, maybe he's making a reason.tv edition of MLs!
    1. Snark Plissken 13 years ago
      
      Which he will post at 1 AM.

We should all send in absentee ballots for thie guy. So what if we don't live there? This is America!
1. Rich 13 years ago
  
  Right on! We *deserve* a vote!
2. gaijin 13 years ago
  
  yeah, but that suit. We don;t need to see the mayor's junk. see: Anthony Weiner

And his campaign ad is...unusual.

But are his methods ... unsound?

  Frankly, sir, I don't see any method.

If the next libertarian presidential candidate makes campaign commercials that are even slightly less embarrassing than that, we should all be grateful.

  That's not news. We have know about the escaped monkeys for a long time here. Now did you hear Voyager left the solar system? Completely new story. Never been done before.

Ok guys, I'm stopping in as I prepare for my wedding. I think this is how I want to be remembered if the new opinions my wife gives me are too different for me to be my old self.

  I blame racism, except for John. She's too skinny for him. But I do like his taste. I'd vote for him.

Heartbroken widow being forced to demolish treehouse built by her Vietnam vet husband ten years ago
Husband built play house for grandchildren before his death
Family told 20ft structure violates 17 building codes

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new.....rmits.html

Mrs Erickson claimed that when she asked how she could fix the violations listed, a city spokesman told her: 'How do we give you a permit for a tree house? We don't have codes to permit a tree house.'

That which is not permitted is forbidden.
1. Brett L 13 years ago
  
  No codes for a treehouse? Then what is it in violation of?
  1. Andrew S. 13 years ago
    
    Article F, Section Y, Subsection T, Clause W of the code.

It will be nice to know that Zack Snyder is giving Ben Affleck a chance to succeed as Batman.

Instead, he will be older, grizzled, and burnt out. At an investor meeting on Thursday, Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara described Affleck's Batman as "tired and weary and seasoned and been doing it for a while," reports Variety.

Tor appeals principally to botnets, commonly used by spammers; those who peddle or seek pornography; and those who use a marketplace that has been called "Amazon.com for illegal drugs."

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

  This is a bad thing?
  1. Rich 13 years ago
    
    Well, let me try a different teaser: 60 percent of the budget of the Tor Project comes from the federal government, including a whopping 40 percent from the Department of Defense.

For the first time in several years, we're all getting to see what kind of quarterback Tom Brady is when he's not surrounded by the best group of offensive talent in the league. It sure makes a big difference, doesn't it?

The Patriots are just lucky they were playing the horrendous Jets. Any kind of halfway decent team and they would have lost.
1. Andrew S. 13 years ago
  
  Halfway decent teams and they'd be 0-2.
  
  The Patriots' window is about to slam shut. The only reason it hasn't shut already is the rest of the AFC East is terrible.
