Did you know our president pro tempore is fucking badass? I didn’t.
If you’re thinking “Wow, it sure looks like he’s missing an arm in that last picture” maybe you should just skip to here.

The Washington Post has a great slideshow sampling the various ways newspapers played Pearl Harbor on that fateful day in 1941. Here are two; there are a bunch of others, too. (images via the Newseum collection)
Based on all available data, a tsunami may have been generated by this earthquake that could be destructive on coastal areas even far from the epicenter. An investigation is underway to determine if there is a tsunami threat to Hawaii. If tsunami waves impact Hawaii the estimated earliest arrival of the first tsunami wave is 2:59 a.m. HST Friday, March 11.The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center • Regarding whether or not the Japanese tsunami will hit the U.S. Short answer: Possibly Hawaii (there’s a tsunami watch), likely not California.
Our investigation is showing, it actually exists in the archives written down. What I can do, and all I have ever said, is that I am going to see to it as governor that I can verify to anyone who is honest about it that this is the case.Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie • Discussing a controversy that should’ve died a long time ago that he’s been trying to get to the root of for some reason. Anyway, Abercrombie says they have the birth certificate and stuff, but later found out he’s unable to show it off due to privacy laws which he has no control over. WHY EVEN SAY YOU HAVE IT IF YOU’RE NOT ABLE TO SHOW IT OFF?! You’re feeding the trolls, who still want to see it. source (via • follow)

It’s an insult to his mother and to his father, and I knew his mother and father — they were my friends, and I have an emotional interest in that. It’s an emotional insult, it is disrespectful to the president, it is disrespectful to the office.New Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie • Expressing his anger over the “birther” movement – something he has a personal stake in because he was good friends with Obama’s parents when they first met and had Barack. So, just to shut those morons up, he’s working on ways to improve the law or offer even more details of Obama’s birth. We hope Abercrombie’s work means Orly Taitz will never be on TV ever again. source (via • follow)
OK, not to be jerks to you guys, but we think we’ve put in a pretty good year of blogging. And, well, Obama’s in Hawaii, and Hawaii’s gonna be warm but rainy all weekend. In other words, perfect stalking weather. We want to follow the president along with his family and learn the truth … is Obama in fact Muslim? When he goes to open up presents under his palm tree on Christmas day, will there be a star on top of that palm tree? Or a crescent? The Coast Guard is watching out for people like us, but we’re watching out for people like the Coast Guard. Plus, we have hundreds of thousands of dollars to throw around! We can totally pay their $32,000 fine! Plus, Julius is a robot without any feelings! We don’t care if he goes to jail! (But seriously, this is a long way to say that we’ll be taking it easy for a few days, with fewer posts. Because we want to go to Hawaii to stalk Obama. That’s right! See you this weekend, Sasha and Malia!) source
