F.E.C.A.L. Matter

Another classic acronym with no hint of double-entendre recognition is now a law.

The bill preserves the rights of consumers to use devices like ClearPlay, which employs technology that attempts to make movies "family friendly" by automatically skipping over violence and sexual situations on-screen. Language that could have prevented the use of this technology to skip commercials was taken out.

Oh right, and it also makes file sharing a federal crime. Would somebody please think of the children! Furthermore, this Swank idiot (again with the double-entendres!) has apparently abandoned the notion of an "ownership society" by relying on big government to solve his ilk's feeble-minded shortcomings (yeah that's another one...)

Americans who have an ethical sensibility are anxious about the next generation sliding out of control due to violence, obscenity and lust parlays in lyrics, movies and other so-called entertainment. Therefore, they have appealed to their lawmakers and the executive branch to up the morality milieu. Hopefully, the judicial system will provide its support as well, but one can never tell regarding that branch in particular.

Look asshole, we all have our "ethical sensibilities" but mine just don't happen to match yours.

Separated at birth?

There's crime in the city

Another confounding police report from my 'hood:

P STREET NW, 200 block, 11:30 p.m. March 24. Seven faucets and two stereos were taken from a home entered by forcing a rear door.

Please don't hurt me, just take the faucets and leave!
