If you’re wondering why I haven’t updated this blog much lately, there are two reasons.

Chertoff: ‘Lieberman Is Dead Right’
Think Progress » Chertoff: ‘Lieberman Is Dead Right’ In Calling For Increased Wiretapping
First off, WTF is ‘dead right?’ This, from the man who referred to European terrorists as ‘clean skinned.’ Can we possibly get a less savvy administrator to head the Homeland Insecurity Complex?
In case you missed it, Joe Lieberman (DL, Sith), has used [...]
Major Website Changes
Readers of Brownian Emotion may not notice any changes immediately, but I’ve decided to split my work-related blogging from my personal and political writings. You could always pick and choose the parts you like, or use the tags to skip all but one topic at a time. But I think many people didn’t bother, and [...]
