Smoothie Blogging
I’m going to juice an orange and a bunch of carrots and blend it with bananas, frozen strawberries and pomegranate kefir.
I anticipate this will be amazing.
ETA: I WAS CORRECT.

But in recent weeks, the Obama administration and its allies have thrown smart sanctions overboard, slapping Iran with broad restrictions on oil exports and banking that they hope will damage the economy so badly that they force the leadership to change course.

I’m sure this will work great.

Buffy Comics
I really shouldn’t have opened this can of worms. I’m now downloading Angel: After the Fall which continues the events of Angel season 5.
Homework? St….. studies? I don’t know those words.
Buffy Season 8 is really good. I just finished issue 15. FRAY turns up in the next issue so I’m switching gears and reading that miniseries next.

Danny Doesn’t Understand Capitalism
The RBS CEO makes 1.2 million pounds a year.
Will he really work less competently if he doesn’t make an extra million pounds? If he does can’t the board fire him?
And seriously, who is he blowing on that board to get a fucking million pound bonus when 82% of the company he runs is owned by the government.
How about he gets 18% of a million pounds… which is still more than most people earn in a year… let alone get as a fucking bonus.
ADDING: And why would there be chaos if the government disbanded the RBS board… Would the other banks be like “OH SHIT LET’S STEAL ALL THE MONEY?” Would the employees riot and tear gas depositors?
I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW GIVING AWAY 1 MILLION POUNDS TO A SINGLE PERSON IS A WORTHWHILE MANAGEMENT DECISION AND WHY THESE FUCKS CAN’T BE FIRED.

Mr Hester was appointed as the Royal Bank of Scotland’s chief executive at the end of 2008 to replace Sir Fred Goodwin, after the bank had to be bailed out by the government, which owns 82% of the bank.
[…]
But news of the bonus - to be paid in share options currently worth £963,000, deferred for three years - has annoyed people across the political spectrum.
[…]
“If we didn’t like that, of course the only option would be to get rid of the board. If you do that, imagine what would happen in the banking sector and imagine what would happen to RBS. You would have chaos.“Remember RBS’s balance sheet is as large, if not slightly larger, than the GDP of the UK. What would that do to ordinary people?”

GOSH. What would a million pounds do for ordinary people?

UPDATE: AND PITCHFORK FEAR WINS THE DAY.
Stephen Hester, head of the Royal Bank of Scotland, gave way to heavy political pressure last night to forego his £963,000 bonus.

But the price was, the price for fighting back was this perception of being evil, bad people of being that negative element. We became the fearful other. Instead of being the welcomed other, now we were the fearful other.

First and foremost, this rule includes a new equal access provision that prohibits owners and operators of HUD-funded housing, or housing whose financing we insure, from inquiring about an applicant’s sexual orientation or gender identity or denying housing on that basis. If you are denying HUD housing to people on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity — actual or perceived — you’re discriminating, you’re breaking the law — and you will be held accountable. That’s what equal access means, and that’s what this rule is going to do.

A clinical measurement used to predict pelvic size is the diagonal conjugate. The diagonal conjuagate is the distance from the lower margin of the symphysis pubis to the sacral promontory. The examiner measures this diameter by placing two fingers in the vagina and touching the sacral promontory.

It’s twice as amazing because…
Racial-based hate crimes still make up like 49% of all hate crimes, period. That basically means that there is NOTHING as dangerous in this world as being non-white. Anti-black hate crimes make up nearly 3/4s of all racial hate crimes.
There’s just nothing in this world as dangerous as being black. Nothing at all.
And that’s got studies behind it.
