John Sexton unconvinced by Vox’s ‘vague wishy-washy’ piece on Attkisson

http://twitter.com/#!/cdrusnret/status/528287473496252416

Were investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson’s work and home computers hacked? We’ll know a lot more when Attkisson releases her book “Stonewalled” next week and sits for TV interviews. The Washington Post did publish a summary of the book last Monday, and it seems that it is from this summary that Vox has come to the conclusion that “there’s not much reason to trust her conclusion that she was hacked.”

“…it seems more likely that she suffered from garden variety technical glitches that had nothing to do with government surveillance,” writes Vox’s Timothy B. Lee. “And strangely, the security expert Attkisson says confirmed her allegations has refused to talk to the Washington Post about it, citing a confidentiality agreement. This doesn’t inspire confidence.”

Breitbart’s John Sexton has read Vox’s argument, and he’s not convinced in the slightest.

Now that isn’t hard to believe.

Your Heart Will Break When You See What Years Of Neglect Did To This Bird

When we think about mental illness, we don’t often consider the fact that thousands of animals are forced to deal with anxiety and depression every single day. These creatures experience emotions just as deeply and intensely as we do, so it only makes sense that they’d develop psychological issues after enduring years of abuse and neglect.

One such animal is a sweet little cockatoo that now goes by the name of Javi. Her previous owners called her Hobby, and they treated her as such. This bird was seen as little more than a plaything for most of her life, which actually caused her to develop anxiety issues.

This is probably what you think of when a cockatoo is mentioned…

But these beauties, along with other birds, often resort to a practice called “over-preening” when they feel chronically anxious.

Now going by Javi, the beautiful bird came to the sanctuary as Hobby. Born in 1996, the feathered friend was most likely treated like her namesake, which in turn caused her a great deal of stress.

Because of her constant anxiety, she over-preened to a drastic level…

But thanks to Tallgrass Parrot Sanctuary, Javi is finally enjoying her brand-new life!

Facebook / Tallgrass Parrot Sanctuary, Inc.

According to one adorable Facebook post, “She’s doing awesome! She’s a rockstar.” She’s since cut back on over-preening, but as far as feather regrowth, only time will tell. Even if her feathers don’t grow back, she will still be able to lead a healthy, happy life with the right care. In the meantime, she’ll be busy taking nice baths and snacking on some of her new favorite foods!

Watch Javi show off her dance moves in the video below:

We have decided to change Hobby's name to Javi, (pronounced "Ha vee") since no living being should be someone's hobby. She is becoming more confident and loves to explore as long as I'm close by.If anyone would like to donate for Javi's care as well as the others here in our care you can do so at our website www.tallgrassparrot.org

It’s pretty obvious that this cockatoo is in great hands, and that she’s finally getting the love and attention she deserves.

As Twitchy reported earlier, fake accounts for Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have been popping up on Twitter today.

CNN is reporting that the @J_tsar Twitter account belongs to Tsarnaev. One of Tsarnaev’s high school classmates told BuzzFeed that it is the suspect’s Twitter account.

He calls himself “Jahar” and his Twitter bio is just “Salam aleikum.”

He also appears to be a 9/11 truther.

Another tweet about Sept. 11:

“September 10th baby, you know what tomorrow is. Party at my house!” #thingsyoudontyellwhenenteringaroom

— Jahar (@J_tsar) March 14, 2013

Sickening.

Does suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev appear in these images tweeted from the account?

Update:

Via BroBible, the person in the photo that accompanies this tweet appears to be wearing Cambridge shorts.

http://twitter.com/#!/J_tsar/status/234718782738821121

In another tweet, he mentions Cambridge.

Cambridge got some real, genuinely good people but at the same time this city can be fake as fuck just like any other town #upholdthereal
