Today's
comic
by Ruben Bolling is
Rick Perry, Texas' Lonely Ranger
:
Douglas C. Engelbart, the inventor of the computer mouse, has passed away. Here's a
great obit
by John Markoff. One thing that struck me was the how Engelbart's innovation was made possible not just by his brilliance and ambition, but also by a private and public sector that supported and fostered technological progress. There's a lesson in there for absolutists on the right who don't understand how things work.
Twitter has
enabled
auto-translation for Tweets from high-profile Egyptians.
What
could possibly go wrong?
The Egyptian military
is arresting
members of deposed President Mohamed Morsi's administration and party. President Obama
released a statement
saying the U.S. is "deeply concerned" about the military's ouster. President Obama called for new elections rather than returning Morsi to power.
Aides to Virginia GOP gubernatorial nominee Ken Cuccinelli
are defending
his sale of stock in a company linked to the investigation into Governor Bob McDonnell by saying that they intentionally did not tell him about the investigation. Therefore, they say, his decision to sell the stock at a profit couldn't have been insider trading, even though he was personal friends with the head of the company and had stayed at his friend's vacation home.
Missouri is having trouble getting enough of the drug it uses to kill inmates on death row, so it's now considering the most obvious (or not) solution:
the gas chamber
.
John McCain is
spending Independence Day
with Lindsey Graham. The only surprising thing about that is that Kelly Ayotte doesn't appear to be with them.
Democratic congressman John Yarmouth of Kentucky
says
Mitch McConnell's
bizarre
new
videos
attacking Alison Lundergan Grimes show that McConnell is "scared to death" of losing. Hard to argue with that.
Finally, whatever you're doing today, have a terrific Independence Day!
