“The American people are owed a full explanation of how [Abdulrahman al-Awlaki] wound up dead. ‘We weren’t trying to kill the 16-year-old American we blew up’ isn’t sufficient explanation.”

- The Atlantic’s Conor Friedersdorf on Eric Holder’s letter to Congress, in which Holder acknowledged that the Obama administrated has killed four US citizens via drone stroke—only one of whom was actually being targeted. source (via shortformblog)

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.

Of course. This is America. We don’t get to have nice things.

Check out the comments. Nearly everyone has criticized The Smoking Gun for digging up dirt on the guy. One person put it best: “Once in awhile, people on the internet make me proud. I’m so thrilled that virtually all of the comments on this post point out that this was totally unnecessary.”

NFL Hot Read: Who's laughing now? Garrett Gilkey

NFL Hot Read: Who's laughing now? Garrett Gilkey :

The NFL draft prospect out of Chadron State spent his childhood in fear of his classmates. Now, he’s ready to deliver an anti-bullying message to kids.

Because it’s a cool story about an athlete overcoming bullying, and it’s a well-written article. Not everything I read over on ESPN is total bullshit. Good on the Cleveland Browns for giving him a shot.

Also, redheads.
