As Millions Die

Guess I'll have to toss Mbeki in with the Pope and Reagan in the basket of "People Who Caused Tens of Thousands of Deaths Due to their Homophobia and Refusal to Address the HIV Issue."

Mariners general manager Pat Gillick resigns

Bush Bests His Own Fundraising Record

"Bush, speaking to 1,700 supporters who had paid $3,000 each for a cold sandwich and a 28-minute speech, condemned the "needless, partisan bickering that dominates the Washington, D.C., landscape and the zero-sum politics of Washington."

… but, but… he's a man of the people! I didn't know people could afford $3,000 lunches!

Sidenote: the cause of the majority of the "partisan" bickering? You guessed it. Him and his party. This is the most radical and radically partisan president we've had since the Whig years. Too bad he's probably too stupid to be disingenuous or else he'd qualify for the crafty evil crown.

Property sales out of this world

Nutjob claims ownership of the moon, sells worthless deeds, becomes millionaire.

He probably founded HSN too.

Howard Dean Releases FOSS Web Community Kits

Holy shit! AWESOME!

"These kits create fully featured campaign web community sites, such as Upper Valley for Dean and Seniors for Dean and Connecticut for Dean. These kits provide their members with powerful web tools for organizing their People-Powered-Howard campaigns."

I may have to reconsider my Clark choice, given this fuckin awesome move. I'd be happier with Dean, but I still think he'd lose to duhbya. We'll see, but still: Dean, you fuckin RULE!

(p.s. you just lost the MS vote. Oh, who am I kidding, they're voting for duhbya anyway)

Linux in Hollywood

"As a rule, no major studio will rely on a tool without access to the source code. The risk is too great. It's not that the studios want to putter around modifying commercial programs, rather it's insurance — insurance that they can do so if they must to meet a production deadline."

The "I'd Hit It!" pics are like my favorite meme going right now. hee!

White House Denies a Top Aide Identified an Officer of the C.I.A.

This has been building for weeks (and was linked here 3 weeks ago), but the CIA's request has finally put the press into a feeding frenzy. We may see rove frog-marched out of DC in chains yet. w00t!

Kurd who slit daughter's throat in 'honour killing' is jailed for life

… that's what we call murder in these here "civilized" countries.

Sobig linked to DDoS attacks on anti-spam sites

In case you any kind of doubts as to the extent of the sliminess of spammers.

White House knew Saddam was no threat

In case you had any doubts as to whether or not this administration was lying to you and the world in their justifications prior to the invasion of Iraq.

House Probers Conclude Iraq War Data Was Weak

Reaffirmation of the administration's propensity to lie and distort the truth to further their own ends. Or, in this case, to kill thousands of people.

Where does the Impeach duhbya train stop? I want to get onboard.

Rumsfeld defends $87bn war request as 'exit strategy'

"We are not in Iraq to engage in nation building," Mr Rumsfeld told a Washington conference co-hosted by the US army and attended by its top officers. "We are there to help Iraqis build their own country."

… and the difference between nation building and helping Iraqis build their own country would be…?

U.S. Uses Terror Law to Pursue Crimes From Drugs to Swindling

No, we never thought this would happen. No, we never predicted that the government would overstep its authority and broadly apply a radical grant of power away from the citizens to the State. Nope, never occurred to us that a psychotic fascist attorney general who won't enforce abortion laws with which he disagrees would encourage a broad application of civil liberties violations by his enforcers.

If this shit isn't enough to at least get you to use GnuPG/OpenPGP/PGP, then you seriously need to have your head examined.
