A Drug Against Wall Street

KMFDM

KMFDM Is A Drug Against Wall Street

It was originally A Drug Against War. It’s some sort of miracle cure-all!

politics

It was playing on a growing racial tension, economic tension, fear of government. I’m not saying Ron believed this stuff. It was good copy. Ron Paul is a shrewd businessman.

An anonymous former employee of Ron Paul’s businesses who says that Paul was directly involved in the newsletters.

It was his newsletter, and it was under his name, so he always got to see the final product. . . . He would proof it.

Renae Hathway, a former secretary in Paul’s company and a supporter of the Texas congressman.

This is, of course, obvious to any reasonable person. But still, it’s nice to have the quote.

[Mr. Gingrich saw ethics charges against others as] a vehicle for destroying the House as an institution and taking over what was left.

Fred Wertheimer, former head of Common Cause

Newt is the single most influential factor in replacing the politics in which you accepted the bona fides of your opponents and disagreed with them civilly with the politics of insisting that your opponents are bad people.

Representative Barney Frank

Government is dysfunctional because the presidency and Congress no longer have the ability to compromise, and I put Newt at the heart of that.

Mickey Edwards, a Republican former congressman from Oklahoma who served in leadership alongside Mr. Gingrich, and who is neutral in the Republican primary.

Kids are the only people that you’re allowed to hit…If you hit a dog, they’ll fucking put you in jail for that shit. You can’t hit a person unless you can PROVE that they were trying to kill you. But a little tiny person with a head this big who trusts you implicitly? Fuck ‘em! *SMACK*

From Season 1 of The West Wing, Sam Seaborn talking about the importance of privacy, and how it’s going to be the “next big issue.” This is from 12 years ago, and I’m always surprised and amazed at how prescient this show was on so many issues.

Yep.

Moe: That’s it, Homer. I’m taking your caricature down from Mount Lushmore, and I’m pulling your favorite song out of the jukebox.

Homer: “It’s Raining Men”?

Moe: Yeah, not no more it ain’t.

We must each begin to test our thresholds for levels of exposure and begin to question the nature of our relationships with these companies. We must ask ourselves, at what point does Google know more about me than I’m comfortable with? And we must think about these questions not only based on companies’ postures today, but on their unpredictable potential use down the road.

I dumped Chrome today and switched to DuckDuckGo as my search engine. I’m going to drop my (shitty, free) Chromebook off of a cliff and I will never buy an Android phone.

These are all things I was planning to do anyway, but they’ve taken on additional urgency. I’m still neck deep in plenty of other Google stuff.
