1. 7 Things For 2/2/12, And…

    Classic water bottle projectile footage

    1) What goes on in the mind of a sniper?.

    “Kyle remained in Iraq until 2009. According to official Pentagon figures, he killed 160 people, the most career sniper kills in the history of the US military. His own estimate is much higher, at 255 kills.”

    2) To My Old Master.

    An old letter that’s been making the rounds from a former slave to his former master. A nice “fuck you, pay me” blast from the past.

    3) Not Fade Away.

    “Note: At the State of the Union on January 26, President Barack Obama argued, “Anyone who tells you that America is in decline or that our influence has waned, doesn’t know what they’re talking about.” According to a Foreign Policy report , the president had read and been influenced by the TNR article below, discussing it at length in an off-the-record meeting on the afternoon of the speech.”

    4) The Secret Document That Transformed China.

    “At one meeting with communist party officials, a farmer asked: “What about the teeth in my head? Do I own those?” Answer: No. Your teeth belong to the collective.”

    All your teeth are belong to us, B.

    5) Are You with the Right Mate?.

    “It’s an open secret of American culture that disillusionment exists. I go around the country speaking about ‘normal marital hatred.’ Not one person has ever asked what I mean by that.”

    Haa

    6) Tinker Tailor Soldier Kingpin.

    The implications are sobering: the Sinoloa cartel “is duping U.S. agencies into fighting its enemies,” says Prof. Tony Payan of the University of Texas at El Paso, who studies the cartel wars in Juárez. “Typical counterintelligence stuff. It’s smart. It’s so smart.”


    7) “The Horror In Music Comes From The Silence” - John Carpenter Interviewed.


    “I composed the score for my first film Dark Star because I was cheap and fast. I talked to a couple of other composers but they all seemed weird. One guy had glitter all over him. Not that wearing glitter is a bad thing… it just didn’t inspire confidence.”
