I guess I don’t read enough internet comments.
Is this pretty common? (You can click through to observe these very real comments in the wild)
When President Bush two years ago failed to name members to a federal board to monitor the protection of civil liberties, Democrats and activist groups were duly outraged, seeing it as one more example of his administration’s indifference to the subject.
But more than a year into a new presidency, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board—created by Congress in 2007—remains as much a cipher under Barack Obama as it was under George W. Bush. The White House has yet to nominate a single person to sit on the five-person board. It has no members, no staff and no office.

We should be pretty outraged about this.
![My cat’s name is Tuesday, but she is mostly called Ponyo in the morning when I use sliced ham in breakfast prep, or when making a sandwich for lunch. She seriously goes batshit for ham. Also, while Katie was staying up until 3:00-ish last night writing her paper, she definitely looked up the difference between the Noah Cyrus/Frankie Jonas/Disney/auto-tune version of the Ponyo song and the original Japanese version. Grad students! P.S. Ponyo hits shelves today.
