Father Michael Pfleger, a (white, this matters later) pastor at Barack Obama’s church, made the following remarks in a recent sermon in reference to Hillary Clinton’s crying episode(s).

I really don’t believe it was a put-on. I always thought she felt ‘This is mine. I’m Bill’s wife. I’m white. And this is mine. I just got to get up and step into the plate.’ And then out of nowhere came, ‘Hey, I’m Barack Obama.’ And she said, ‘Oh damn, where did you come from? I’m white. I’m entitled. There’s a black man stealing my show.

Why bother to inject race into this at all? I don’t think she cares that she is white, except that that appeals to white voters, presumably. This is a revised version of Pfleger’s statement, which is probably right on the money:

I really don’t believe it was a put-on. I always thought she felt ‘This is mine. I’m Bill’s wife. And this is mine. I just got to get up and step into the plate.’ And then out of nowhere came, ‘Hey, I’m Barack Obama.’ And she said, ‘Oh damn, where did you come from? I’m entitled. There’s another guy stealing my show.

Same meaning, except maybe a little less salt-in-wound-ish considering the audience is sitting in a black church. White people have this thing where we think that if we talk in reverse racism, it somehow makes it OK and proves we are not racists.

But here’s the cold hard truth: the best way to prove you are not concerned with race is to not be concerned with it. Making sermons bashing a particular race, even if it is your own, makes you fucking retarded.

A flaw has existed in the OpenSSL’s key making process for two years. This is pretty dammed frightening. I remember when I installed the patch for this a few days back; I saw the description and thought, “Hmm, that’s a weird thing to push out as an update. I wonder what the problem was.”

The problem was that the set of “random” keys that OpenSSL generated (before the patch) is constrained to the point that the number of unique keys can easily be automatically generated and brute-forced to break the encryption. This is not unlike locking your front door with the key, but not completely pulling it shut. It appears shut, but all someone has to do is target you, and go push open your door. Fuck.

In Hungary. By a Hungarian. I’m a Hungarian. That could have been me!

Watch as Ballmer gets it. Notice the “duck and hide” behind the podium move. Classic.

The best part, though, is the obvious level of despise for Steve Ballmer exhibited by everyone else. First, they clap. Then, after the guy is allowed to casually finish his egging, the people sitting in his row simply stand up to excuse him, as if it were a movie theater and he was getting up to use the restroom. Finally, some guy with a “mad” look on his face escorts him out. For “escorts” read “walks out with him without touching him.”

Magyars!
