It's so hard to choose... Ok, I won't choose.

1. I knew they were the party supporting same-sex marriage, but c'mon...
2. "I vant to suck your bluuuuud. mwahahaha."
3. Any second now, "Dreamweaver" begins to play.
4. Any second now, some 60's disco song begins to play and lights begin to flash.
5. Get a room.

I died.

How sad. RIP, James Lamb.

Is Outsourcing the Way of the Future?

With the amazing stuff JPL has been doing lately, why not rename it NASA and fire everyone at the other, old, cruddy NASA? (link above)

Michael Moore is fat

After reading all the inaccuracies in his new movie (Newsweek), it was just confirmation of my belief that he was a moron. But, then I read the two articles in Entertainment Weekly and I feel like I have a more rounded (ha) appreciation for the big man. But I am annoyed that he didn't work harder on this movie. But much props for Canadian Bacon. His next movie should be about what happens when he says no every time someone asks him if he wants to supersize it.

Traffic worsening

Ok, so not exactly news (link above), but 55% say traffic is worse and 33% say "much worse." One in 20 uses mass transit nationwide, but in the mid-East, it's one in eight, meaning that it's much worse out here in the west. It may be because we're spread out, but it's also because we don't have enough usable mass-transit. And because every time a new section of rail is opened, a union goes on strike and everyone pledges to spend money on roads instead next time because roads can't go on strike. (I wonder if they don't strike in the east because over there it's vital and over here it's just an afterthought and only low-income people* are affected.)

(*I know that's somewhat stereotypical, but there is some factual information about the income levels of people who ride trains and especially busses in this area.)

Oops, they did it again

Sold... every AOL member's screen name, real name, address and the type of credit card (not the card # or expiration date) -- link above. The employee that did it even had to pretend to be someone else to get as much access as he did.

War on Terror Unwinable?

Amazing interview (link above) with someone who used to be pretty high up in the CIA.
