Which Torchwood Character Are You?
Your Result: Gwen Cooper
 

You most resemble the team's second-in-command and ex-police officer. Empathetic and stubborn, you tend to grab the bull by its horns and have difficulty admitting when you're wrong, though you always mean well. You are inconsistent in your relationships, wanting stability but also craving drama, and sometimes end up putting yourself first.

I got tagged by [info]sarken for this meme. The rules are that for eight days you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag eight people to do the same.

I tag [info]capnredbeard , [info]chicating , [info]redstapler , [info]lagizma , [info]lucia_tanaka , [info]zoethe , [info]peacockharpy , and [info]helpimarock if they are so inclined and have the time to play.

So does yesterday count as the first day? From sundown? ;)

If we count December 7 as Day 1, yesterday was my birthday! I got lots of cool prezzies, ate ice cream, and the Eagles even won!

If I was a liberal (if?):

How to Win a Fight With a Conservative is the ultimate survival guide for political arguments

My Liberal Identity:

You are a New Left Hipster, also known as a MoveOn.org liberal, a Netroots activist, or a Daily Show fanatic. You believe that if we really want to defend American values, conservatives must be exposed, mocked, and assailed for every fanatical, puritanical, warmongering, Constitution-shredding ideal for which they stand.



And if I was a conservative:

How to Win a Fight With a Liberal is the ultimate survival guide for political arguments

My Conservative Identity:

You are an Anti-government Gunslinger, also known as a libertarian conservative. You believe in smaller government, statesí rights, gun rights, and that, as Reagan once said, ìThe nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ëIím from the government and Iím here to help.íî

SCOTUS Meme

  • Oct. 1st, 2008 at 7:31 PM

In the spirit of educating Governor Palin on other Supreme Court decisions, I am participating in yon SCOTUS meme, ganked from [info]zoethe and [info]audacian:

The Rules: Post info about ONE Supreme Court decision, modern or historic to your lj. (Any decision, as long as it's not Roe v. Wade.) For those who see this on your f-list, take the meme to your OWN lj to spread the fun.

Hey, here's a good one: Miranda v. Arizona What's that about, you may ask?

Miranda v. Arizona (consolidated with Westover v. United States, Vignera v. New York, and California v. Stewart), 384 U.S. 436 (1966), was a landmark 5-4 decision of the United States Supreme Court which was argued February 28–March 1, 1966 and decided June 13, 1966. The Court held that both inculpatory and exculpatory statements made in response to interrogation by a defendant in police custody will be admissible at trial only if the prosecution can show that the defendant was informed of the right to consult with an attorney before and during questioning and of the right against self-incrimination prior to questioning by police, and that the defendant not only understood these rights, but voluntarily waived them.

Chief Justice Earl Warren, a former prosecutor, delivered the opinion of the Court, ruling that due to the coercive nature of custodial interrogation by police (Warren cited several police training manuals which had not been provided in the arguments), no confession could be admissible under the Fifth Amendment self-incrimination clause and Sixth Amendment right to an attorney unless a suspect had been made aware of his rights and the suspect had then waived them. Thus, Miranda's conviction was overturned.

The person in custody must, prior to interrogation, be clearly informed that he has the right to remain silent, and that anything he says will be used against him in court; he must be clearly informed that he has the right to consult with a lawyer and to have the lawyer with him during interrogation, and that, if he is indigent, a lawyer will be appointed to represent him.

Your Issue Profile: 88% Obama, 12% McCain



When it comes to the issues, you agree with Obama on almost everything.

Surprised? Probably not. You've had your eye on Obama for a while.



In fact, you're likely already a strong Obama supporter.

You know where your vote is going this November.



Actually, I'm not so sure on the windfall tax on oil companies question. I am all for removing the loopholes, so that corporations pay more of the taxes they're supposed to.

    You Are Quite Worldly



    You've done a good bit of worldly exploring, and you have an international perspective.

    And you're definitely looking forward to your future adventures abroad.

    You've got the passport, the desire to travel, and maybe even the language skills.

    Now all you need are the means!

    bitch plz, master
    You are in your twenties
    You can still hear reasonably well and you can play this without my old fart colleagues hearing it which makes you feel kinda good.

    The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 15.8kHz
    Find out which ultrasonic ringtones you can hear!


    So this is weird. When the files were downloaded to my Mac, I could only hear the 14.9 KHz. When I played it in the web page, I could heard the 15.8. How odd!
