That drone base virus? They didn't report it up the chain of command.

The Air Force has a dedicated network security unit, and they found out about the virus problem by reading Wired's Danger Room.

Oops.

Why do I think that someone, or several someone's careers just hit a stone wall.

I am at a loss for words

"Mitt Romney is like someone you hook up with periodically until you get serious and you want to meet somebody serious. He is friends with benefits. And Perry is marriage material."
— Fox News host Greg Gutfeld

I really don't think that I would use "hook up" metaphors when talking about potential presidential candidates.

California governor vetoes the bill banning warrentless cell phone searches

"In probably the most important decision Gov. Brown of California will make this year, he has vetoed the bill that would require officers to get a search warrant before searching cellular phones of arrested citizens. This further enables the police to carry out warrantless searches of private property extending into contacts, email, photos, banking activity, GPS, and other functions that are controlled by modern phones. 'He cites a recent California Supreme Court decision upholding the warrantless searches of people incident to an arrest. In his brief message (PDF), he also doesn’t say whether it’s a good idea or not. Instead, he says the state Supreme Court’s decision is good enough, a decision the U.S. Supreme Court let stand last week.'"

So I guess we have to wait a few years for someone to sue and get it elevated to the SCOTUS.
