Are they getting paid off, or something? I don't see the appeal.
Actually, maybe handing it over the the EU wouldn't be such a bad idea now: http://gigaom.com/2014....reforms

Speak loudly, and don't carry any sticks because that would be mean.

Plant.
During a ceremony in the East Room, a little girl told first lady Michelle Obama: "My dad's been out of a job for three years and I wanted to give you his résumé."

I bet it was totally unprompted and spontaneous.

"Sanctions not doing shit," say economists.

Obama's response: More sanctions. No word on when he'll break out the nerf cruise missiles.

US can issue search warrants that are exercised in other countries.
Wtf?
[New York-based U.S. Magistrate Judge James] Francis said the likes of Microsoft, Google, and other online service providers should hand over such data because, if U.S. law agencies were to coordinate efforts with foreign governments to secure such information, the "burden on the [U.S.] government would be substantial" and U.S. law enforcement efforts would be "seriously impeded".

Obama reduces energy <s>costs</s> sources.
To comply with the regulations, electric utilities are expected to have to install costly pollution-control equipment on existing coal plants – or just shut them down.

Looks like the feds are taking the same strategy on coal power plants that the Texas gov't takes on abortion services.

Good thing we control China's pollution output, too, otherwise that would be all for nothing. It would be a gigantic waste of money and resources to reduce American coal usage if it turned out China was just going to take up the slack.

I honestly think Dems are more delusional than Repubs.

At this point, even the Repubs could admit W sucked. B Rock has been exceptionally worse, yet his approval is higher?
