The Only Oscars Show You Need To Watch 0
Who needs to suffer through three plus hours of watching Hollywood masturbate to its own empty-as-a-back-lot-storefront reflection when Jackie can sum up the whole shebang in three minutes?

Yet another is polite to himself.
More guns does indeed mean more politeness.
The Secesh 0
Still fighting–and lying–after all these years.
Moved below the fold because it autoplays on some systems.
Autoplaying is rude.

The Fifth Freedom: The Freedom To Hate 0
Via Delaware Liberal, which adds commentary you should read.
Also, Josh Marshall has a wonderful post which deserves a read.
Fun with Computers 0
Three computers in one: A VNC connection to Debian Sid running the Fluxbox window manager on a P4 Dell tower overlaying a Virtual Machine of OpenSuse running LXDE on a Mageia 4 computer running E17.
This is the first time I set up a VNC all by my lonesome. Once I found the right helpful website and punched the correct hole in the server firewall, it was much easier than I had expected.

New Toy 0
I just got the email that my new laptop is ready to be shipped. Extra bonus fact: Microsoft has never been near it. It’s Linux out of the box.
I’m retiring the oldest machine (it’s starting to lag under the demands I place on it, particularly photo editing, as it only has a gig of RAM), putting Mageia on it, and giving it to Second Son, who is currently computerless except for his phone.
Who would have envisioned 20 years ago that a house would have more than one computer? And today I have two on this desk. (KVM switches are your friend.)
Haves and Have-Nots 0
Persons who have health insurance don’t want you to have health insurance.
Afterthought:
Dissing the poors. It’s a Republican thing.
