Bleh, nothing going on today. Some news instead...

More wacky hijinks in California, as the recall election gets blocked. By the 9th Circuit Court no less, so expect the Right to be livid. Wow, that means that like, the Republicans can't steal the state as easily now.

John Ashcroft was booed and greeted to the Imperial Death March at a recent speaking event in Boston. That seems bad of course, but not NEARLY as bad as what the below photo resembles...

Yep, that's real. It's from here and of course, the connotations are...well, you know.

While its certainly not Bush's fault, he isn't helping the fact that middle-class families can't get by now with two working earners in the family. That's a sad state of affairs when people who have worked so hard and for so long have to live day to day. This has to be fixed, and soon.

Republicans for Dean. There are two assumptions with this campaign - that Dean is a bleeding heart liberal and that Bush is invincible. I know that Dean is NOT a bleeding heart liberal and that when tested, his policies will seem a lot more relevant than Bush's to a lot of voters (see the middle class above). Whether or not Bush is invincible, especially against Dean, I don't know. It's going to be a dog fight regardless of who goes up against him. If we can get Wesley Clark...

So, Verisign has launched Sitefinder. This tool-of-evil goes into effect whenever someone mistypes a .com or .net domain name. How is this possible? Verisign controls the top level of those. In common english basically, expect the blood pressure of network/system admins like me to rise greatly. Because before, when there was an error with someone trying to go to a site, people would get a time out error and we might have been able to fix it. But now, all those errors are going to go directly to Verisign. Which means we won't be able to tell if anything is wrong because, well, clients are idiots and wouldn't tell us. Hence, we hates Verisign. HATES THEM!

Well, Playboy has hit rock bottom. The Girls of Wal-Mart issue, coming soon. Ugh...

The position you sleep in reveals your personality. Hmm...I sleep on my stomach, but I don't consider myself to be "brash and gregarious". Interesting stuff.

Family Guy - The Movie. In the words of Peter Griffin: Holy Freakin Crap! :)

Finally, a hilarious series of pranks played on the RIAA, Apple and the record labels in one man's quest to not go to jail for stealing music. A great read.
