Puli 3.8.3 bark 5, released Aug 2014
Subject description: A high security configurable puplet intended to boot from USB pendrive
Welcome to Puli 3.8.3 bark 5, released Aug 2014
Puli is a member of the Puppy Linux family: a high security, "kiosk" flavor of pemasu's Upup Precise v22.214.171.124, intended to boot from a USB pendrive and run safely even if the boot device is unplugged.
The Puppy Linux Project was established by Barry Kauler in 2003. See legal notice at the bottom of this page.
Special thanks to smokey01, pemasu and OscarTalks.
related to its predecessor released Apr 2014:
Much smaller footprint (in memory and on the USB pendrive)
Smart Install
feature to upgrade or even downgrade Chrome browser (this is
unique in Puli
compared to other Linux, Windows, etc).
New Office packages (Softmaker FreeOffice 690, AbiWord 3.0)
The ftp client is FileZilla
Smart sfs handling (easy referencing, the amount of sfs files is limited only by memory, their media remain unmountable)
Improved file associations
Latest Links2 browser (v2.8, with nice https and multimedia capabilities)
Updated sfs collection, (e.g. AzPainter, FileZilla3.9, TeamViewer9, Java runtime 1.8u5 with clickable jar files, Skype43, IrfanView-capable wine, etc.)
Refactored Skype integration
Minor bugfixes
I. How to install Puli:
1. Create a bootable USB pendrive
a. In any Puppy Linux distro/puplet such as pemasu's Upup Precise 188.8.131.52, run the Setup / BootFlash install Puppy to USB utility and follow the instructions there.
b. When finished, delete all files from the pendrive except ldlinux.sys.
2. Copy Puli to the pendrive.
a. Puli and its updates are available at
in form of compressed files. Download then unpack the Puli_install.tar.gz file to access the Puli_install folder.
b. Open the Puli_install folder and copy its content into the (root of the) USB pendrive.
c. It does worth to download the sfs folder from
into the USB pendrive, too. Puli offers advanced Office options and the newest Java runtime module in those sfs files.
* To have SoftMaker FreeOffice, put a puli-SoftMaker.sfs line in loadsfs file on your USB boot device. You need to register and obtain your personal license at Softmaker Software GmbH as detailed below. See the related legal restrictions at /opt/freeoffice/license.txt.
* Alternatively, you can use LibreOffice (without registration) by putting a puli-LibreOffice.sfs line in loadsfs file.
* You can reference up to five .sfs files simply by listing their exact file name in separate lines of the loadsfs file, or use a
smart reference
as shown below in Section IV. Puli will look up those .sfs files (on the USB boot device) and load them during bootup. Note that the first score will be loaded even if the USB pendrive has multiple files with the same file name.
3. Unmount the pendrive.
You are ready, Puli is installed.
4. Before rebooting
your machine from the pendrive
a. I recommend to read the following sections, too.
b. If you know what to do, you may configure some startup parameters in syslinux.cfg right now.
c. Ensure that the BIOS is configured to boot from pendrive.
5. Give Puli a go!
II. Puli in a nutshell:
1. Boot-up the PC
from the USB pendrive pre-installed with Puli.
a. When asked, log in as root.
b. Type root as password. Later you can change the password and save it for next logins.
2. The QuickSetup dialog pops up.
Here, you may configure the system as you want.
a. Check whether timezone, locale and keyboard, etc., are correct and change them if needed.
b. You may right-click the Volume tray icon, select Full window and check/adjust Capture, Mic boost, etc.
3. The USB pendrive gets unmounted.
Consider pulling it out when the popup message reminds you.
4. It is recommended to set your own session password.
a. Open console
b. Issue the busybox passwd command.
5. Before you finish
, be sure that you left no data on the PC.
6. There are different methods to save your work
on the (replugged) USB pendrive:
a. Clicking the backup icon on the right of the Desktop immediately creates a compressed Puli_backup_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM.tar.gz backup file in the /backup folder of the USB pendrive. Backups include Backup description. Note that the password files and the content of the .sfs files (installed into /initrd/pup_ro2 and /initr/pup_ro4 folders) are excluded. While those .sfs files are the same, you can restore a previous status from a backup if you drag-and-drop its icon onto the Restore icon next to it.
b. You can decide to create backup by selecting Save: backup on the Shutdown dialog.
c. You can preserve the current settings without creating backup file by clicking the Save: patch button on the Shutdown dialog.
* Be wary of
hardware keyloggers
. From the tray, open the virtual keyboard and use it any time to enter passwords or other sensitive text.
* Some features, such as Office programs, evince, etc.,
start in offline mode
for your security.
III. For advanced users:
* The installed
mesa graphics accelerator
version is 9.0.2 for Intel video hardware while 8.0.4 for Nvidia and Radeon devices.
* You may add
boot parameters
, e.g., pkeys=hu plang=hu_HU.UTF-8, to syslinux.cfg on the pendrive (see among the install files).
* The
default timezone
is GMT. However, Puli overwrites it with the content of the single-line timezone file from the (root of the) pendrive. Take a look into the /usr/share/zoneinfo folder for correct timezone strings such as Australia/Perth
* If the USB pendrive contains a /patch and optionally a /profiles/Common folder, then Puli
updates the filesystem with their merged content
during bootup (before X starts).
The last executed script
in the /root/Startup folder is zsupp. It may worth looking into it for the tricks it does. Of course, even zsupp could be updated from /patch before it (zsupp) would run.
By clicking on different Office files
, the appropriate program opens based on MIME type, i.e., abiword gets the .docx files while textmaker handles the .doc; clicking an .xls opens planmaker while .xlsx invokes gnumeric, etc.
* In the Puli package, you can find tricky
user profile examples
realized by different patch structures. They can be selected/activated (copied into /patch folder on the pendrive) by clicking their fantasy-named profile selector icon.
a. This is the default profile, i.e., when there is no /patch folder on the pendrive or it is empty.
b. The network_tray icon becomes red while suspicious connections are active. They are logged in /var/log/suspicious_connections file.
a. Barks as soon as suspicious connections are detected (only during browsing). Then, to prevent hacker attacks, updates the firewall's blacklist with the suspicious hosts.
b. Puli does not release the suspicious host but occupies its available ports in SYN_SENT or similar mode. For details, see profile-specific scripts such as /usr/local/apps/defaultbrowser and /usr/bin/chromium.
c. If you accidentally get false alarm(s), move those friendly IP addresses from /etc/suspicious_hosts to /etc/friends file (and update your patch structure accordingly).
a. According to the profile name, Puli makes hackers crazy. It disables the network periodically to prevent their session become effective.
b. Consider to download and enable the Disconnect extension in Crazy profile even if you are in Incognito mode.
The default browser
is a properly sandboxed Chrome version 34 with Flash plugin version 14. You can
easily upgrade or even downgrade Chrome
using the unique
Smart Install
feature of Puli:
a. Download a 32-bit Debian (*_i386.deb) package (any stable, beta or dev) from
or from
or based on query
The actual stable version is at
b. After downloaded, simply click on it (or select Smart Install from the right-click menu).
c. If you like the just installed version, then copy the /opt/google/chrome folder to your patch structure on the boot device.
* In all profiles, clicking the
icon invokes the
Links browser
configured for smart media recognition capabilities.
Parental control
: Append IP addresses or even domain names (e.g., 22.214.171.124 and/or somename.com) as separate lines to the /etc/suspicious_hosts file (of course, copy it into your favorite patch structure on the UBS pendrive, together with /etc/friends). Puli interprets them and feeds the blacklist automatically.
* Notice that some common Puppy utilities, e.g., default applications chooser and firewall generator, have been removed
in favor of the patch-based features
* Notice also that the
.DirIcon of the selected profile folder
appears on the Desktop as
backup icon
* If you connected an
MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)-capable device
(e.g. a mobile phone) via USB cable, open a terminal window and issue mtp+. Now, you can access the device thru the /root/MTP folder. If you finished, issue mtp- before disconnecting the USB cable.
IV. For enthusiasts:
You may need to
customize Puli
if you want to run it on the same computer. Puli supports this in many ways as follows. But keep in mind that different computers' settings can be incompatible with each other thus their settings should be stored separately, i.e., in different patch profiles.
* During bootup, the sfs files listed in
file on the USB boot device, either as /patch/loadsfs or /profiles/Common/loadsfs, (don't mix - the former overrides the latter, other locations are ignored) will also be loaded if they exist somewhere on the USB boot device. You can reference there up to five .sfs files - even a truncated but unique basename, e.g., "wine" is enough to locate "wine-puli-1.7.19-i686.sfs".
* If you need to load
more than five .sfs files
, you can use a workaround in Puli. Menu item Setup > Merge SFS files takes (based on their alphabetical order) all *.sfs files found in /root folder, then merges them into /root/puli.sfs. Move it to the pendrive and reference it as a single item in /loadsfs file to auto-load it next time.
* You can
save your session settings
to auto-load them on the same machine next time. The following examples are here only to help understand the basics. However, their result should be similar to what you get by clicking the Save: patch button on the Shutdown dialog.
Example A.
Preserving only the audio configuration:
a. Set up the sounds with the Retrovol tray icon.
b. Open a terminal.
c. Issue alsactl -f /etc/asound.state store
d. Copy the /etc/asound.state file into your machine-specific profile on the pendrive.
e. Puli restores the same settings at every boot time.
Example B.
Preserving only the network configuration:
a. In Puli, Barry's sns is used to establish network connection. It stores your machine-specific preferences in /etc/simple_network_setup/ folder. Here, wpa_supplicant.conf files contain colons ( : ) in their name which cannot be copied to your pendrive if it is FAT-formatted. If so, replace these colons with equals sign ( = )
b. Copy the /etc/simple_network_setup/ folder to the patch structure of the machine-specific profile on the pendrive.
c. Puli restores those filenames when loading the patch files at startup.
Example C.
Preserving configuration items using built-in script:
a. Set up the sounds with the Retrovol tray icon.
b. Check that sns is configured well.
c. If you chose the default Softmaker FreeOffice program, click the write desktop icon to enter the Softmaker FreeOffice licence key. The key is free for registered users. You need to do this only once, at the first usage.
d. In a terminal window, issue permanent
e. The /usr/bin/permanent script asks for a permanent password then saves the sound and network settings into the /patch folder on the pendrive. You can add more lines to save other session files, e.g., bookmarks, browser profile, desktop background or even downloaded files that have been arrived into the /root/spot/Downloads/ folder.
f. Puli reads the saved settings at every boot time from the actual content of /patch folder of the pendrive. It is recommended to store those machine-specific sets in separate profiles then populate the pendrive's /patch folder from the appropriate profile when necessary.
* In contrast to other puppies, you
cannot save your session as puli.2fs
on the USB pendrive or elsewhere. Instead, use the backup desktop icon or the Save: backup option at the Shutdown dialog.
* You may
refresh the puppy_puli_3.8.3.sfs file
with the content of the actual patch structure:
a. Ensure that the pendrive is plugged in (either mounted or unmounted).
b. Open a terminal and issue
c. The temporary files are in the /root/squashfs-root folder. You can manually edit their content there when the script asks for this.
d. Wait until all operations are finished.
* The
script does the same as refresh except that it calls the Remove Builtin Files utility before writing back to the USB pendrive. The temporary files are in the /root/squashfs-root folder. You can manually edit the content there when the script asks for this.
Have fun!

Thanks for re-uploading
Took me some time to get it running.
Had to change BIOS, pendrive from automatic mode to HDD
Then forgot to set password.
Had to copy from a known /etc/shadow to enable access.
German langpack installed

@L18L: Wow! You discovered a funny set of defense built in Puli...
1. Let me start with "passwd". As written in the intro (Help) text, Puli overwrites the default "root" password with a looong secret one at the earliest possible time. You remain logged in as root, but Puli recommended to set your own session password by issuing the
busybox passwd
2. I admit, not only is the password overwritten by Puli immediately but the "passwd" command, too
Well, this is a simple trick that prevents a friend (or a remote hacker) to change your password while you are working.
There are other common utilities such as ptrace and prctl, which are favorite "tools" of hackers who try to get remote control over your system. Puli knows that only malicious attackers try to act this way, so pops up the same alert message as for passwd. Remind that neither ptrace nor prctl are implemented in the original Precise 22.214.171.124 thus nothing has been lost.
Let me attach an example of setting a default password different from "root" and forcing Puli to replace it with the same one. If you copy /etc from the extracted attachment into the /patch folder of your pendrive, your default password will be
at boot time and will remain
for the current and future sessions.
P.s:. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an die deutsche Übersetzung!
However... I would appreciate if my Puli logo could appear also in the German version... see as /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/puli96.png
Run it! Love it! Trust it!

Yes, that is better than just
set your own session password by issuing the busybox passwd command

There is no German "version".
It is just the langpack_de-20130806 loaded, nothing else.
The translated help page shows puppy logo like the original English help page.
So I think it is up to you to owerwrite puppy logo with (link to ?) Puli logo.
At all,
Since you know my password now try to hack me

Let me propose to use the below script as an example for how to save some local settings on the pendrive:
bootdev=`cat /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE |grep PUPSFS |cut -f1 -d "," |cut -f2 -d "'"`
#asks for password then updates it together with sound settings in /patch/etc folder of the USB boot device
yaf-splash -bg yellow -close box -icon /usr/local/lib/pixmaps/puli48.png -text "To make your sound and password settings be permanent, please ensure that your USB boot device is plugged in."
/usr/bin/urxvt -e busybox passwd
mkdir -p /mnt/$bootdev
mount /dev/$bootdev /mnt/$bootdev
sleep 1
alsactl -f /etc/asound.state store
mkdir -p /mnt/$bootdev/patch
mkdir -p /mnt/$bootdev/patch/etc
mkdir -p /mnt/$bootdev/patch/etc/patch
cp -f /etc/passw* /mnt/$bootdev/patch/etc
cp -f /etc/shado* /mnt/$bootdev/patch/etc
cp -f /etc/shado* /mnt/$bootdev/patch/etc/patch
cp -f /etc/passw* /mnt/$bootdev/patch/etc/patch
cp -f /etc/asound.state /mnt/$bootdev/patch/etc
cp -f /etc/passw* /etc/patch
cp -f /etc/shado* /etc/patch
# Here you can add more lines to save other session files,
# e.g., bookmarks, browser profile, desktop background
# or even downloaded files that arrived into /root/spot/Downloads.
# But keep in mind that some settings, e.g., /etc/asound.state are machine-specific
# thus it is better to store them in machine-specific profiles of Puli.
sleep 1
umount /dev/$bootdev
yaf-splash -bg yellow -close box -icon /usr/local/lib/pixmaps/puli48.png -timeout 120 -text "Permanent password created, sound settings saved. Now you may unplug the USB pendrive. Don't forget to update your profile(s) on the pendrive with the new settings."
The next Puli version will include a desktop icon for a script (or feature) like this.
In Puli, I do not offer automatic or manual saving to pupsave.2fs in favor of the planned "carve in stone" feature.

Thanks for the interesting version of Puppy, it works well in my Asus laptop.
In the current version of Puli the Chromium browser default language seems to be Hungarian and this brings Hungarian words e.g. to the menu of www.google.fi page. I can get it work normally if I remove the Hungarian from the Chromium language selection. Obviously this change will not be saved, when I restart Puli the Hungarian language is still there. This applies just Cromium browser, the language and keyboard selections of Puli itself are OK.

Thank you for your interest in Puli.
I assume you use it as recommended, i.e., boot from USB pendrive with pfix=ram and your actual profile is in the /patch folder of your pendrive.
I propose to do the following:
1. Change the browser settings as you need
2. Close the browser
3. Issue the below command from a terminal window (replace '$bootdev' with the mount point of your device, e.g., 'sdb1')
cp -f --parents /root/spot/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences /mnt/$bootdev/patch
From now the browser starts with your preferences.
You can insert this and/or similar commands such as
cp -f --parents /root/spot/.config/chromium/Default/Bookmarks /mnt/$bootdev/patch
into the script in my above post.

Post subject: Restore script
The simple script below can be used for restoring backups. Copy it into the root of the USB pendrive where the backups are saved. To restore a previous status, simply drag a backup file and drop it on the Restore icon.
if [ -z "$1" ]
yaf-splash -bg yellow -close box -icon /usr/share/pixmaps/puli.png -timeout 5 -text "To restore, drag a backup file and drop it on the Restore icon."
bootdev=`cat /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE |grep PUPSFS |cut -f1 -d "," |cut -f2 -d "'"` 2>/dev/null
killall -9 abiword 2>/dev/null
killall -9 gnumeric 2>/dev/null
killall -9 chrome 2>/dev/null
killall -9 chromium 2>/dev/null
killall -9 yaf-splash 2>/dev/null
killall -9 xchat 2>/dev/null
killall -9 evince1 2>/dev/null
killall -9 skype 2>/dev/null
killall -9 gtkdialog3 2>/dev/null
killall -9 nome-mplayer 2>/dev/null
killall -9 mplayer 2>/dev/null
sleep 1
#rm -R root/spot/.config/google-chrome/*
#cp -R /initrd/pup_ro2/root/spot/.config/google-chrome/* /root/spot/.config/google-chrome/
sleep 1
rm -f /tmp/tmp1 2>/dev/null
mkdir /tmp/tmp1
tar -zxvf $1 -C /tmp/tmp1
sleep 1
cp -rf /tmp/tmp1/* /
yaf-splash -bg green -close box -icon /usr/share/pixmaps/puli.png -timeout 5 -text "$1 restored, now X restarts..."
rm -f /tmp/tmp1
restartwm jwm
I am actually working on the New Years Eve version of Puli. Among the bunch of new features, you will find a more comfortable Backup and its Restore counterpart. In addition, as a surprise, I will introduce the "crazy" profile.
Fasten seat belts...

It is funny how ALDF, an organization that has been heavily involved with PETA in pursuing litigation against animal agriculture, would oppose this educational event. I guess the lesson to be learned is if you give an animal activist group a booth, they think they can run the fair.
In Kansas, things have been similar to California. Last year, PETA was allowed onto the fairgrounds in Kansas, even though restrictions were placed on the group for showing images of animals being slaughtered and were held up after a lawsuit.
The same problems with farrowing crates happened at K-State's College of Veterinary Medicine Kansas State Fair Birthing Center in 2008. The decision was made to not show sows giving birth because of the outcry from animal rights activists. Now, five years later the Birthing Center is bringing back the popular display to educate Kansans.
Erika BechtelHere I am at 8 years old with my 4-H bucket calf, Whitey. I was one of those Kansas kids who benefited from seeing the birth of baby piglets at this exhibit. Even being the son of a veterinarian and raised in agriculture, it was my first experience seeing piglets farrowed. I'm happy it is back and I know it will be just as educational today as it was when I was a youngster.
Growing up in a beef-centric state like Kansas, most of my interactions with other livestock species happened at fairs. I saw dairy cows being milked at the parlor of the State Fair. I was able to help my friends bathe their hogs and sheep at the wash rack of the Greenwood County Fair. More than anything, I was able to share with my "town" friends what it means to care for livestock.
ALDF and PETA want to continue to change the rules of the fair, when the primary purpose of the fair is to showcase agriculture and educate fair visitors. Hopefully, animal rights activists will keep fairs fair, but I doubt it.

text: Riding The Tiger "I discovered that being a President is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or be swallowed." Harry S. Truman Posted November 30, 2012 By Kenneth Lowande 1841: The Irony Inaugural Lithograph of William Henry Harrison. PD. Each week leading up to President Obama's second inauguration, which will take place on January 21, 2013, RTT is featuring an inaugural address by a president from the Miller Center's archives. The Inaugural Address of William "Old Tippecanoe" Harrison is possibly the most popular and least examined speech of its kind. The story of the address is one of the best (and most morbid) jokes in presidential history: an elderly president, in an attempt to display his youthful stamina, gives an inaugural speech nearly twice as long as any other, catches pneumonia during the address and subsequently dies. Setting aside the fact that it was probably not much of a side-splitter at the time, this post is my attempt to unearth some of the lost substance of Harrison's speech. The most obvious attribute of Harrison's Inaugural is its length. The speech is well over 8,000 words – double that of any other. Harrison's predecessor, Martin Van Buren, gave a speech of 3,800 words. Andrew Jackson, in his second inaugural address, managed only 1,100 words. Contemporary presidents typically give speeches in the 2,000-3,000-word range. Lincoln's Second Inaugural, arguably the most examined in history, was only 700 words. So, what message did Old Tippecanoe need 8,000 words to convey? Harrison took the opportunity to lay out a framework for a more limited presidency – one that scaled back the "monarchical" tendencies of Jacksonian Democracy.

Appearances in Aang's life
The unnamed fire Avatar first appeared to Aang in a spiritual vision directed by Avatar Roku, in which he was lavabending the magma from several volcanoes while in the Avatar State.[1] The young airbender saw him again briefly in a similar vision during the battle at Wulong Forest, this time among a great number of Avatars all standing in a line, upon regaining his ability to enter the Avatar State.[2]
Appearances in Korra's life
This Avatar was present, along with all the other Avatars, when Aang passed on the knowledge of energybending to Korra and restored her bending, representing the newly established connection she had made with her spiritual self.[3]
After Unalaq had merged with Vaatu and proceeded to attack Raava, the fire Avatar was present in the Avatar lineup that Korra envisioned; however, his connection to the latter was severed due to Unalaq's assault on and subsequent destruction of the Light Spirit.[4]

Editorial: The spirit of openness
Arrest reports. Tax listings. Teachers' salaries. County commissioners' email. The city budget and audit. What your neighbor paid for his house. Politicians' campaign finance reports.
All these things and more are a matter of public record in this state and nation. Though openness can get uncomfortable when it hits close to home or reveals something embarrassing, our style of governing in the United States hinges on that openness. Voters need information. We don't inspect every public document every day, but knowing that we can brings a degree of accountability to government.
The same goes for meetings of elected officials. The public has a right to know when and where a board or committee is meeting so we can attend, know what's going on and voice an opinion when an issue concerns us.
During Sunshine Week, March 10-16 this year, journalists raise the public's awareness of the information that should be available and take stock of how transparently government operates. Local governments in Rowan and Salisbury follow the letter of the law well, though now and then an official will need reminding.
It's especially refreshing when someone does more than the minimum that the law clearly requires. Case in point: Commission Chairman Jim Sides has made sure Rowan County government posts a great deal of public information online, from employee salaries to the county's check register. The state's Public Records Law does not require that the information appear online, but the county has gone above and beyond the letter of the law. For that, the John Locke Foundation gave Rowan County an A+, and Sides is set to take part Monday in a Sunshine Day panel discussion in Raleigh on the theme, "Government Gets it Right."
But government does not always get it right, as evidenced by Sides' refusal to open a meeting of top county and school officials several weeks ago. The Salisbury Post asked that the meeting be open to the public, saying the groups represented subcommittees whose meetings are required to be open. Sides disagreed and, after a prayer, called the meeting to a close because reporters from the Post and WBTV had shown up.
To his credit, school board Chairman Richard Miller said whether the meeting was required to be open was unclear, but he would prefer to hold the meeting in public if there was any question about it. That's a clear demonstration of respect for not only the letter but also the spirit of the state's Open Meetings Law.
The media have the job of being a watchdog on government, but the biggest job rests on the shoulders of citizens — to pay attention, be involved and care about the direction of our government. Transparency means little if no one cares.

Come on now. Is Obama really a "psychopathic megalomaniac"?
I learned of Obama's problems today. Not from Ron Paul supporters. Not from Glenn Beck's Drudge wanna-be news site The Blaze. I read about Obama's psychosis from left wing Democrats.
Everyday I get emails from former members of Move On, a pro-Democratic Party group that was famously active during the build-up to the Iraq War in 2003. They're complaining about one man: President Obama.
In these emails, one thing is apparent. When it comes to the left wing liberals, Obama is being left behind.
The left was mostly raptured into political heaven four years ago when they elected Obama on bended knee. He spoke about things dear to their hearts: closing Guantanamo Bay. Ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Getting tough on bankers.
Guantanamo is still open. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are winding down, but the military presence remains. (Smacks of imperialism. That's something the left hates as much as libertarians do.) Then there's the president's bit about getting tough on bankers. Where has the White House come down hard on Wall Street? Fuhgeddaboudit. This is New York!
One anti-Obama Saturday in my inbox:
Re: Write-in Kermit the Frog!
If being a 'pragmatist' or a 'realist' means choosing only amongst evils, count us OUT. Obama betrayed the American voters who expected he would not gut the US Constitution. Both parties are the same. And, in a world of infinite possibilities we choose not between the lesser of two evils. In fact, those of us who are not into denial and work at the human rights front lines prefer to face the Republican snake head-on then the confused and gutless Democrat chameleon whining about being a progressive when they are NOT." — Ezili Danto, human rights lawyer at the Haitian Lawyers Leadership Network
Re: Obama is a psychopath; reminds me of Stalin
There's a cancer in the presidency called Barack Obama. We have a psychopathic megalomaniac occupying the White house who could be compared to Nero, Caligula, Stalin, or Pol Pot in his disdain for human life. He and his coven of other like minded DC psychopaths and sociopaths are on a murdering spree and like a third world dictator Obama can have someone and their family (including you) executed or blasted to smithereens with a thumbs up or down. This is sickening to me. They are so blase about murdering that they refer to the hit list photos as "baseball cards". Killing is a game or a sport to them. There is a "cancer on the Presidency" and that cancer has metastasized throughout Washington DC. It was there before Obama arrived but he brought a whole new and virulent strain with him. Every time there is a shameful incident or embarrassing event perpetrated by "a few bad apples" we hear from the DC psychopaths that "That is not who we are". They are incorrect. It is who they are in DC. It is not who we the real everyday thinking feeling Americans are. I certainly am not one of the people to be included in their cumulative we." — Alexander Cockburn, writing for his online publication Counterpunch. Alexander is also a columnist at The Nation, though I have a hard time believing this missive will make it passed Katrina Vanden Heuvel. Alex is a firebrand. I've written for him once or twice, and he was kind enough to comment on my reporting about the Iraq War for The Boston Globe in 2003 in his Beat the Devil column. This sounds like Alex being Alex, alright. Gotta love his fire.
Re: Bush mighta been better.
"Why should the public believe what the Obama administration says about the people being assassinated by drones? Especially since, as we learn in the New York Times, the administration came up with a semantic solution to keep the civilian death toll to a minimum: simply count all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants. The rationale, reminiscent of George Zimmerman's justification for shooting Trayvon Martin, is that "people in an area of known terrorist activity, or found with a top Qaeda operative, are probably up to no good." Talk about profiling! At least when George Bush threw suspected militants into Guantanamo their lives were spared." — Medea Benjamin, CodePINK
Obama's dealings with the working stiff, or the perceived lack thereof, plus his foreign policy has caused much of the anger against him among the left wing of the party.
I'm not a blue dog democrat. I'm a hard hat Democrat from Massachusetts; like the guys who climb telephone poles after hurricanes that vote for Kennedy. That's where I cast my lot.
I voted for Obama through the U.S. Consulate in São Paulo. Obama was different. He was inspiring. I watched the votes unfold on two laptops — one on CNN, one on MSNBC with emails from my American friends flooding in every minute. My Blackberry was on my lap, blowing up with texts – can you believe North Carolina? It never happens!
Obama's winning was like a moon landing. You noticed it more when you're overseas. America did it again, Brazilians told me. The world can elect women presidents. It's happened before. But what advanced economy has ever elected a black man? None. Not Europe. Not Latin America. Not Australia. Not even close. They're not even on the ballot. Only in America. What a country.
Yes, You Can!
It made so much sense.
My former Chicago-based editor from Dow Jones even mailed me a T-shirt with Obama's slogan on it.
I wore it to bed.
Until I got sick of it.
The shirt. Not the slogan. Or Obama, necessarily.
Thought I have to say that I think the truth, once again, is not yes or no, it is more like maybe. Maybe, You Can. That doesn't sound right. But it's true. I understand that's not very optimistic. Americans like to believe we can do anything we want, so long as we work really hard. Yes, we can! We tell ourselves that. Oh, no…some can. Most can't. But hey, maybe you can.
That's a different argument. I'm talking about equality. A fair shake. I'm talking about people working hard and having something to show for it, rather than a life of lowering expectations, of moving one step forward and one and half steps back. Medea and Alex are talking about drones. Most Americans probably don't care about drones. But most care about equality and fairness.
I think Obama would win on fairness versus any Republican.
The left is a lot like the right. Bombastic. Deeply ideological. Never happy with their politics.
On the next page, a liberal environmental activist explains how the left and the right are actually quite similar.…
Know where I learned that?
Antioch College.
You don't get any more left wing than Antioch College. When I entered the school in the 1990s, they required male students have a signed contract from female students before they had sex. The Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender students once hung a sign painted on a white sheet they hung one floor above the cafeteria door. It was for the hetero males. It read: "Don't blame us if you can't get laid."
That was my liberal school. One adjunct professor with environmental activist blood in her veins, and whose name I cannot remember, explained to me how the left was like the right.
It was one afternoon after class, during the Newt Gingrich Contract With America years, when she drew a basic diagram to explain it all. When she drew it, she purposely didn't connect the start of the circle to the end. There was a hairline fracture in this otherwise perfect basic shape . Where she started drawing the circle, she said, that was the right wing.
Where she ended, she pointed out, was the left wing. You see how close they are together? Incredibly close, of course. In their political angst, they are close neighbors.
The right left Bush behind, too.
They got their wars. They didn't get the Second Coming.
They also didn't get to end abortion, or a gay marriage amendment. When Bush left office, he had around a 33% popularity rating. He essentially left Washington with his puppy dog tail between his legs. My bet is he doesn't miss Washington one bit.
The right doesn't miss him either. They think Bush failed them. Just like the left thinks Obama has failed them.
Another email from Saturday. This one about George Carlin. Not from Carlin, of course. He is dead.
Re: Voting is meaningless!!!
"You'll notice there's one thing I don't complain about. Politicians. Everyone loves to complain about politicians. They say politicians suck. But where do they think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky….they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. This is the best we can do: garbage in, garbage out. Maybe it's not the politicians that suck. Maybe it's the public. The public sucks. Now there's a nice campaign slogan for someone. I solved this little problem for myself…on Election Day, I stay home. I don't vote. It's meaningless. This country was bought and sold and paid for a long time ago. People say if you don't vote, you have no right to complain. But hey, I on the other hand, who did not vote…have every right to complain about the mess that you guys voted for and therefore created." — George Carlin. See it on YouTube.

MoJo broke Fred Taylor's franchise record of 1,572 yards and cruised to the NFL Rushing Title by gaining nearly 250 yards more than any other NFL back. Commemorate Jones-Drew's record-breaking season by sporting this Jaguars tee by Reebok. It features "1,606" printed largely across the front with an action shot of MJD, his name, printed signature and team logo beneath.

Precursor to Art Nouveau: Solitaire Diamond Ring
The transition from one style era to another is not always clear. Characteristics and designs may "bleed over" from one to the next. This particular 14k yellow gold ring gives us just a hint of what the next two decades had to offer.
Sensual styling and luscious curves include an organic ambiance in a solitaire diamond ring. An old European cut diamond of an estimated .70 carats (H-I color; VS1-2 clarity) is held in a languid embrace of rough cut claws of 14k yellow gold. Deeply patterned mount and sides provide a form of asymmetry within symmetry of scrolling foliage…precursors of the restless and dynamic energy-laden designs of the later years of Art Nouveau.
Date: Circa 1890.
Measurements: 5/16 of an inch (0.7 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 3/16 of an inch (0.4 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 2.8 grams (1.8 dwt).
Ring Size: US 7 (UK N-1/2; Euro or Int. Circum. 17.3 mm, Japan 14; Int. Dia. 54.4 mm) and can be easily sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: 14k.
Condition: Excellent; evidence of previous resizing visible with magnification.
Origin: American.
Note: Diamond has not been removed from mount to preserve the integrity of the setting. Diamond weight has been approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weight. Grading has been done in situ and also may vary if stone is removed.

Soon will come the finger-pointing.
Liberals will gnash their teeth, pull their hair and recriminate.
Yes; true, this is normal behavior on the part of liberals. But this time the behavior will be uproarious and hilarious.
Because this time, the folks who brought us Occupy Wall Street won't be in a drum circle, but in a circular firing squad facing their comrades, their righteous fingers loaded and looking for blame.
"Oh, Chicago!" they'll say. "Bang, bang."
Sure, there will be the typical liberal shots at the "racists" on the right who denied Obama a second term.

Andrew Storms, director of security operations for nCircle, said the XML bug should be at the top of everyone's "patch immediately" list. That, he said, is because this bug is going to be a popular target for attackers.
"If you can't do anything else right away, at least patch this one post haste," Storms told us. "This critical XML bug affects every version of Windows in one way or another because XML is used by a wide range of operating system components."
More Attacks Coming
Storms also pointed to an interesting bug in Microsoft's print spooler this month. Print spooler bugs played a role in the infamous Stuxnet malware, but Storms said this bug isn't anything like the vulnerability Stuxnet exploited.
"This bug requires a watering hole-style attack method, so it'll be pretty popular in attacker forums," Storms said. "This bug should also be patched pronto. Security researchers have confirmed that they can bypass the just released fix-it for the new IE zero-day bug. This news, combined with the fact that attack code for the basic exploit has already made its way into popular toolkits, is not good."
Storms predicted IT would continue to see an increase in attacks until Microsoft releases a patch for this flaw. He said it wouldn't surprise him to see an out-of-band patch in the next two weeks for this. As he sees it, this doesn't bode well for 2013, as Microsoft only released one out-of-band patch in all of 2012 and only one in 2011.
Boring Patches
Tyler Reguly, technical manager of security research and development, reminded us that in many years past Microsoft has started the New Year off with a bang. The patch of the year in 2010 was OpenType Font Code Execution, and the SMB Remote Code Execution was first in 2009. And it was TCP/IP Remote Code Execution that made headlines in January 2008.
"The last couple of years have had relatively boring 001 patches, and this year is no different. MS13-001 is assigned to a vulnerability affecting the print spooler. The print spooler itself isn't directly involved; it's third-party products that query it," Reguly said.
"Cross-site scripting (XSS) is part of the inaugural Patch Tuesday of 2013. In the past, patching one XSS in a product for Microsoft has often led to other XSS flaws being discovered that year, so this may be the start of a 2013 trend. Instead of SharePoint XSS patches, this may be the year of SCOM XSS patches." (continued...)
