Last chance to vote for the All Star Game

You can vote if you want to, but none of you will ever be able to top my perfect ballot.

You also just missed the EURO 2012 semi-final match between Italy and Germany.

Man, it's just not Boehner's day....

Solidarity

Here's a video of the people of Poland flipping out over their country's signing of ACTA. Good for you, Poland!



What the hell is ACTA? It's an Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (see, right there in the name) that has a bunch of internet-killing provisions tacked on for no good reason. Here's a video by a smart dude who knows way more about this that explains it.



I'm not even going to play like I know a goddamn thing about this other than it's yet another attempt to completely screw up the internets. But if it's important enough to cause an entire freaking country to lose their minds over it, then it's important enough for me to MSPaint an old trading card in solidarity. If you want to know more about ACTA, Google it while you can.
