Retcons

I've decided to go back through all of my posts and add labels; I'm also going to update/correct certain things that I got wrong or were simply stupid things to say.

I'll update this post later with all of the major corrections when I'm done. I'll also create a page to help keep track of these corrections.

I'm also working on finding a better background; I like the coffee beans (obviously) but I think it makes it too difficult to read some of the text.

The Foot. It is in my mouth.

A while back I freaked out because of a person using the phrase, "A funny thing happened on the way to the 2008 elections." On tonight's Rachel Maddow she had a large graphic up on the screen that read, "A funny thing happened on the way to the quorum."

So... since I don't think Maddow was intending anything subversive by the use of that phrase I'm left with the conclusion that I was overreacting about instance that I linked to. Anyone have any thoughts?

Hypocrisy

Rereading some of my posts I stumbled on something that I want to amend. In the post 'WikiLeaks' I wrote:

Even if they take out Julian Assange with a bullet or drone strike or that bullshit rape allegation I want to make sure that as many people as possible can access this information.

Emphasis added after-the-fact to the part I feel guilty about. It was completely hypocritical of me to simply dismiss those charges. I think that Michael Moore explained a much more sensible stance to take when he defended his decision to post Julian Assange's bail on the Rachel Maddow Show. Basically; while Assange deserves a chance to defend himself those charges still have to be taken very seriously.
