What's right: @SenRandPaul forced the Attorney General of the United States to release this terse letter. I am nowhere near a fan of Rand Paul. IMHO, he's a fucking kook. But he got the executive branch to give an unequivocal answer to the drone question. It is better to be among the company of thousands of fleas biting an armed man, than confront him alone, naked and defenseless.
What's wrong: The traditional filibuster is still dead.
What's left:This R.E.M video was shot in San Antonio: the best little big city in the US.

What's wrong: As an atheist, I have a hard time joining a group just because I share some non-existential ideals. As a progressive, I have a hard time not joining a group that is devoted to moderating the severe partisan debate.
What's left: I won't stand on a corner advocating, but I will give money to organizations that do advocate for my ideals.

Random Spring Day - In the Middle of Winter
What's right: If this building comes up for demolition in the @HemisfairSA plan, you'll see me in local news for having chained myself to it for its preservation.
What's wrong: This Justin Bieber @SNL episode. And every SNL episode since a very long time.

A Lazy Saturday
What's right: Netflix released House of Cards yesterday. It's really good.
What's wrong: We are still in Afghanistan.
What's left: I have been taking a picture of the sunset almost every day for over a year. Most of them are from the same spot on my front lawn.
