There’s really nothing more to say.
Whatever your parents’ skin tone or racial history, this in no way relates to your own. (This is a tired 1950s prejudice sometimes called “science.”) It’s no secret that I, too, am trans-black — as is a friend of mine, social media activist Godfrey Elfwick. Transracialism is a more common condition than you think.
Of course, the British have a long history of transracial. Think ‘Grey Owl’.
Wins Liberal nomination.
In an NDP riding, no less. Ya, that’ll work.
Or maybe they don’t remember the G20.
The Register reports on the ‘new’ marching orders from the WH to gov’t IT.
In response to this week’s data breach at the US Office of Personnel Management, the White House has ordered federal agencies to immediately deploy state-of-the-art anti-hacker defenses – things like installing security patches, and not giving everyone the admin password.
I shake my head.
Can anyone in IT tell me why 1,2 and 4 are not standard operating procedure?
I’ll give them a break on 3, because 2 factor id is a tough nut. User + machine, user + user, user + IP, user + BYOD, etc can be difficult to integrate into a system.
I have some sympathy, though. You know how this happens? Every title needs a local wireless printer, cause, status. Then the users complain cause they can’t send email from their iPhone. And, “why can’t I use my Samsung tablet instead of that dirty old desktop?” “What do you mean the systems are going down for a restart? We can’t do that!” And pretty soon IT is just saying, “Screw it, I’m not going to bother fighting with senior management over what they see as nothing.” And you have a zillion holes in your perimeter.
How’s your networks perimeter? Have you chosen convenience over security?
No. Just like every other prediction the enviro-whacko’s have made.
Then-GMA co-anchor Chris Cuomo appeared frightened by this future world. He wondered, “I think we’re familiar with some of these issues, but, boy, 2015? That’s seven years from now. Could it really be that bad?”
But, then, what do you expect when you ask a bunch of partisans for their best disaster-porn wet dreams.

While I feel for their losses. I really don’t like the blaming going on here.
Let’s see, dry spring, fire bans all over the place. Big well known, out of control fire around the lake. Yep, lets go to the cabin for the weekend!
Our hostess isn’t as fond of smoked poultry as I am. So naturally, with her being absent for a while, I figured I’d treat myself.
The following is my smoked turkey procedure.
tldr;
Yum.
The rest is below the fold.
Mtl. Alouettes clarify the Michael Sam situation and why he left training camp.
I’m sure.
Europe coughed up every other time. Greece has had no incentive laid on them to cut up the credit card.
Via Drudge, we learn that Hulk Hogan is going for the suplex on Gawker.
That’s just the latest in their ongoing ordeals. First GamerGate’s letter campaign cost them ‘seven figures’ which is nothing to sneer at. But they’re also being sued by their slaves err, unpaid interns.
It’s tough out there for for-profit liberal shills.
President of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, outed as white.
However, investigators later noticed important marks missing from the package.
It was delivered to a post office box. But it did not have a date stamp or barcode according to an on-going police report by SPD.
Postal officials told SPD officers that a letter or package would never be put in a mail box purposefully without those things even if it was hand delivered to the post office. Postal workers said it is possible that the letter could have gotten stuck to another letter and thus missed the scanner and postal marking. But they said the chances of this happening were extremely low.
Someone stole Tariq Aziz’s body from Baghdad’s international airport.
OPM crack in context.
At least this time, one of the R’s is running on the right thing.

Say what you want about his chances, but aside from the hair-net issue, the man is a force to be reckoned with. I don’t know a thing about Quebec’s internal politics, but I’m guessing a new applicant for the provinces seats will not be welcome news to the NDP or the Liberals.
“If you want to discuss this and believe a certain way, go to the media or talk to people. Don’t splash these (images) around,” Miller said. “It’s disgusting.”
He questioned the effectiveness of the campaign due to its graphic nature and its attempt to align the images with Trudeau, whose party supports a woman’s right to have an abortion.
“I’d like them to come to my house, hand me this and then talk. I’d like to reply to what they think they are doing,” Miller said.
“I know abortions happen. I’m not all for abortions but it’s the woman’s choice as far as I’m concerned. To attach this to a political agenda bothers me a lot.”
Part II except this one you’re actually paying for.
The Star found Solomon has been brokering the sale of paintings and masks owned by a flamboyant Toronto-area art collector to rich and famous buyers. Solomon, in at least one case, took commissions in excess of $300,000 for several pieces of art and did not disclose to the buyer that he was being paid fees for introducing buyer and seller.
The CBC took Solomon off the air Monday pending an investigation. The move came after the Star presented the results of its probe of Solomon to the CBC.
I say we do to the CBC what the NDP is advocating we do to the Senate, abolish it.
Update:
Official from cbc : I regret to inform you that CBC News has ended its relationship with Evan Solomon host of Power and Politics. #cdnpoli

The NY Times has outdone themselves in the last few days.
First there was ticket-gate where in order to peg Marco Rubio as a derelict driver, 17 citations! (if you add his wife’s to his four)
Now the NY Times has a whole new line of attack.
The paper of record, indeed.
