I don’t know if this affects anyone we might know, but even if not, it’s shameful. When sweeping health care cuts take effect Sunday, the parts of Illinois that stand to be hardest hit are the places where folks already are struggling to get by.City neighborhoods like Austin and Englewood, Humboldt Park and Pilsen. Inner-ring suburbs like Cicero. Rust-belt cities like Rockford. Whole swaths of rural Illinois. They’re areas where people make less, jobs are scarce and more rely on the government for help.Medicaid cutbacks mean hundreds of thousands will see health care benefits greatly curtailed, tens of thousands will…

Link: Fortune: ATF Never Purposefully Let Guns Walk During Fast And Furious | TPMMuckraker Of course not Because that would be ridiculous, but easily used against them because the simple lie is more believable than the complex truth. Reality is often messy. There is no narrative structure. One day ahead of a House vote to find Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, a six month investigation by Fortune magazine found that Arizona-based agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives never purposefully allowed guns to “walk†during Operation Fast and Furious.

I spend a lot of time listening to radio via WinAmp over headphones while goofing around on my computer at home. I happened to tune in to WBEZ and caught the last few minutes of an interview between CBC Q’s Jian Ghomeshi and somebody that sounded a lot like a very peevish David Sedaris. However, the conversation was all about the lack of manners shown by Americans in everyday life, and the voice and accent didn’t quite have the languid edginess of Sedaris’. How surprising to find that it was actually Fran Lebowitz speaking. She approves of cigarette smoking, but…

The technical installation has finally concluded, and I now have data and phone in my office (but nothing to connect with, that’s later). The guys who delivered and assembled my desk got here at a little before 10am and they went a little over their time estimate as to how long it would take to assemble desk and chair, but they were done by a little after noon. After the desk guys left, Riley did a tour of inspection. He’ll be quite baffled by the pet gate that I’ll put at the top of the stairway, but at least I’ll…

So far my install date is not changed, had to put off a dental appointment because it conflicted. Have the new computer base, not sure about other hardware.
