Washington commuters struggling with their own ‘red line hell’

http://twitter.com/#!/ndowd/status/376090199367122944

With all of the talk lately about who drew that red line in the sand in Syria, we know who’s responsible for drawing the red line through Washington, D.C. That would be the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, and its red line today is causing its own set headaches in the nation’s capital.

But Metro guaranteed there would be no service disruptions! Photos and tweets of the D.C. gridlock suggest otherwise.

Solid policy advice for everyone in Washington: stay away from red lines.

Was he wearing leggings? Ashley Judd seems confused about which United ‘scandal’ to rage about

Umm Ashley, this leggings thing is like two or three weeks old? We get it, this argument is in your wheelhouse but yeah, maybe read something other than Mother Jones?

Psh, leggings outrage is SO March, 2017.

Dear @United,When I fly DE/USA, I'll wear leggings, or shorts above knees like the dad who was NOT told to change. https://t.co/6yYPdGVwN4

Yeah, maybe she missed it but the bigger issue with United Airlines is a man being dragged and beaten when he wouldn’t give up his seat. But leggings and sexism or something, right?

@AshleyJudd @united @nytimes Stay on topic, Judd. The girls were in clear violation of company policy. But keep beating this dead horse.

Paramedics (not paralegals!) from the Roanoke, Va. fire department treated 21 people at President Obama’s speech today and took one to the hospital. The fire marshal blamed the heat, but Twitter knows better.

BuzzFeed copywriter Josh Fjelstad to GOProud: ‘SUCK MY D*CK’

http://twitter.com/#!/ChrisRBarron/status/292291612766269443

BuzzFeed senior copywriter Josh Fjelstad went silent on Twitter today after deleting the super classy evidence of his oh-so-enlightened tolerance directed at gay conservative group GOProud.

“WOW GOPROUD FINALLY CAME OUT IN SUPPORT OF GAY MARRIAGE. SO PROGRESSIVE. SO PROUD OF YOU. SUCK MY DICK,” he tweeted, along with a link to a BuzzFeed post about GOProud’s adoption of a pro-gay marriage resolution. The resolution supports the right of each state to define marriage and calls for decisions to be made via referenda or legislation rather than judicial activism.

@jtlol @joshfjelstad @buzzfeed grabbed a screen shot, the tweet isn’t gone everywhere twitter.com/ChrisRBarron/s…

— Chris Barron (@ChrisRBarron) January 18, 2013

The tweet was also archived by the automated Twitter aggregation service Topsy.

Great argument, Josh! Changing hearts and minds, one “suck my d*ck” at a time.

@adamsbaldwin indeed, the tolerant left tolerates everything and everyone except those that disagree @gaypatriot

— Chris Barron (@ChrisRBarron) January 18, 2013

He followed up with another since-deleted tweet: “It appears my last tweet’s point was somehow unclear: I’m saying that it’s offensive how long it took GOProud to support GAY marriage.”

* * *

As for Chris Barron, he’ll pass:

@maryclimer @joshfjelstad @jimmylasalvia he was too busy asking us to suck his dick… which i will pass on…

— Chris Barron (@ChrisRBarron) January 18, 2013

If a senior copywriter at FOX News had told a pro-gay group to “suck his dick” the left would demand he was fired twitter.com/joshfjelstad/s…

— Chris Barron (@ChrisRBarron) January 18, 2013

And a good question from GayPatriot:

Did @joshfjelstad want @barackobama to suck his dick last year after he “evolved”?@buzzfeed @maryclimer @chrisrbarron

— GayPatriot (@GayPatriot) January 18, 2013

* * *

GOProud’s Executive Director Jimmy LaSalvia told Ali Akbar, “It is not an appropriate tweet from someone who is a senior copy writer at BuzzFeed. I was under the impression that BuzzFeed was a news outlet.”

Let’s admit it… BuzzFeed is just a liberal bloggggg. They’ve been avoiding the Talking Points Memo label, but it’s coming.

— Ali A. Akbar (@ali) January 18, 2013

So true:

BuzzFeed breathlessly covers Ole Miss ‘riot’ over Obama win; Students, local media debunk

BuzzFeed called out on false ‘Ryan walks out on interview’ headline, Obama campaign spins

BuzzFeed ‘reporter’: Romney helping a dying boy sure is icky and morbid; The decent set him straight

Lapdog at BuzzFeed ‘reports’: ‘Romney just passed a confederate flag’; Ace of Spades pounds

BuzzFeed highlights attacks on Sandra Fluke with tweet targeting … Dana Loesch

BuzzFeed lets bias show again; ‘Stop running ads linking us to death of woman, you installer of death panelers’

BuzzFeed: Conservative media totally stoking ‘race war’; ‘Just bloggers’ mock, debunk

Buzzfeed reporter omits important chunk of Rupert Murdoch tweet; Update: Reporter failed to tell full story about himself

Buzzfeed uses liberals’ tweets to portray conservatives as stupid

Gratefulness In Childhood

This Dog Was Tied Up In The Woods, But There Was Something Even More Heartbreaking

Many hunters in Greece consider their hunting dogs to be more like tools of their trade and not living, breathing creatures.

Unfortunately, this often results in their abuse and neglect. One night, animal rescuer Valia Orfanidou received a call about an abandoned dog in the mountains. She drove through the dark forest to find him, and made a sad discovery when she finally did. Tied to a tree and left to starve was a nine-year-old hunting dog with a minor limp.

Orfanidou freed the abandoned animal and guided him back to her car, hoping to give him a second chance at life.

She transported the dog, who she later named Tool, to a local shelter.

The next morning, Tool was confused and lethargic. He wandered the shelter like a ghost and avoided contact with staff and other animals.

She Took A Piece Of Fabric And Made It Into A Pillow Cover Without Sewing

Oftentimes, redecorating comes at a ridiculous cost. Wallpaper, paint, new furniture…the list goes on. But when it comes to giving a couch a whole new look, you can stop at just one item: fabric you probably already have lying around.

Without even sewing or cutting her swatch of cloth, this woman gives a throw pillow a makeover in just two minutes!

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6hdcFrfa_g?autoplay=0]

I can’t believe how easy that was! If you have a plain-looking couch, you can do so much to spice it up with fun fabrics like this one. What a fast, adorable way to makeover a piece of furniture you use every day.

These 27 Animals Know Exactly What Makes Them Beautiful. And They Flaunt It.

If the animal kingdom had its own version of Facebook, these adorable animals would never have to worry about un-tagging any unflattering photos. The natural beauties were clearly born to be in front of a camera! Somehow, they’re naturally photogenic (and way more than I’ll ever be).

I hope your confidence isn’t easily shaken…
