“The attempt by Republican men to wrestle American women back into chastity belts has not only breathed life into President Obama, it has roused and riled Hillary. And that could turn out to be the most dangerous thing the wildly self-destructive G.O.P. leaders have done.” —

Don’t Tread on Us - NYTimes.com

That’s right GOP, keep demeaning the women and we will release the Clinton!

Fox News offers a suggestion for what to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
Is this a joke? Nope. It’s not!

Fox is pathetic.

What does it mean to be in the 99%, or in the 1%?

What does it mean to be in the 99%, or in the 1%?

Let’s start with household income. The US Census Bureau has an annual breakdown of US household incomes, most recently published for 2010.

Was your household income over 100,000 in 2010? If so, you’re in the top 20 percent of all Americans.
More than 138,000?  You were in the top ten percent.

Had a really good year?
If you made over 180,000 in 2010, you were in the top 5 percent of all Americans.

(Source: (PDF) Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2010, Table A-3.; HTML overview)

Finding that 1% mark is harder. Try this on for size:

According to the IRS, the top 1 percent of tax returns in 2008 started at an AGI of $380,354.  Mind you, that’s a minimum of $380K after all the allowable deductions - we can expect gross income is quite a bit higher.  For comparison, the IRS’s top ten percent starts at an AGI of $113K. (Source: http://www.irs.gov/taxstats/article/0„id=102886,00.html)

Do your own math.  Where do you fall?

Wil Wheaton: Thoughts on Steve Jobs' passing at my blog -

This.

wilwheaton:

I wrote my first story on the Mac 128 I got in 1984, and my second, and my third, and pretty much all of them until I got a color Mac II in 1988. I wrote on that for years, until I got my first Powerbook in the 90s. I used that Powerbook to take my first steps onto the Internet, using a VT100 emulator, a 4800 baud modem, and the mysterious ftp and telnet protocols.

Today, I own and use a Macbook Pro and an iPad. I have so many iPods, most of them just live in a drawer at my desk. My wife has an iPhone and an iPad — the first two devices that made it possible for her to embrace her inner geek and understand the one she married — and both of my kids have Macbooks. Anne has an iMac in her office that she uses every day.

Hearing that Steve Jobs died today hit me in the stomach, even though I’m not an Apple Fanboy, and I love to tease and make fun of Apple Cultists. I use a rooted Android and spend almost as much time in a Linux VM as I do in Mac OS… but the world I live in was shaped by Steve Jobs and the people he inspired. I got to find the person I am because Apple tools made it easy for me to take my ideas and move them from my head onto paper when I was a kid, a teenager, a twentysomething, and today.

I don’t agree with everything Apple does, but I feel like the world lost an important person today, and I feel like I lost a distant relative who I never got to meet, but knew everything about because for one reason or another his influence was everywhere I looked.
