Every episode of Game of Thrones that doesn’t involve Joffrey dying is a bit of a disappointment.

Literally the worst character in the world.

britticisms:

NOTED: In a report on a series of “flash mobs” downtown yesterday night, a police officer said, “Chicago is closed. Time to go home.” There are two kinds of flash mobs; the Chicago kind are never pleasant. Summer arrives and so too does the “terror.” Chicago and State becomes not just a train…

One example of how the city of Chicago ignores problems to save face for tourism.

A pair of green-tinted spectacles is on display in the Monticello Visitors Center. These are believed to have belonged to Thomas Jefferson, although we do not know precisely what he used them for. According to Silvio Bedini, tinted glasses first appeared around 1810. They were not typically used as sunglasses as we might think of them, but “to improve the vision out of doors.”

why is he not depicted wearing these in every portrait

Somebody with art skills please rectify this horrible oversight.

I was so not as drunk as my hangover is trying to tell me I was.

Completely unjustified.

I feel ripped off.

“That the Obama administration is now repeatedly declaring that the ‘war on terror’ will last at least another decade (or two) is vastly more significant than all three of this week’s big media controversies (Benghazi, IRS, and AP/DOJ) combined. The military historian Andrew Bacevich has spent years warning that US policy planners have adopted an explicit doctrine of ‘endless war’. Obama officials, despite repeatedly boasting that they have delivered permanently crippling blows to al-Qaida, are now, as clearly as the English language permits, openly declaring this to be so. It is hard to resist the conclusion that this war has no purpose other than its own eternal perpetuation. This war is not a means to any end but rather is the end in itself. Not only is it the end itself, but it is also its own fuel: it is precisely this endless war - justified in the name of stopping the threat of terrorism - that is the single greatest cause of that threat.”

PREACH. Ignorance can only get you so far in life, and for America, it’s brought us our biggest, never-ending, hate-filled problem.
