• Commented on Slate: Why America Hasn't Been Attacked Since 9/11
  I've been watching the recent news reports about plane crashes (seems like the BoingBoing article about how safe air travel was just the catalyst) and I keep thinking back to Flight 97... How can people today see the wreckage of...
• Commented on BB Video: Soviet Unterzoegersdorf, pt. 2 of 6 / Cheetos Boredom Busters. (This is an ad)
  "FedEx charged me $140 to overnight $10 worth of cheesy snack foods." Heh I work in a Fedex Office location and just wanted to make a note on this comment. It doesn't matter what the value of the item you...
• Commented on Austin teacher threatens to sic cops on Linux group because "No software is free"
  I live in Austin and love it here! Sadly, it's incidents like this that remind me Austin is still located in the middle of Texas......
• Commented on NYT on Guantánamo "Nothing has been more damaging to the United States than the violation of the legal principles at the heart of the American idea."
  Those quotes are a pretty direct reflective of the 'end justifies the means' school of thought... I wonder if Bush has any fears that he will be charged with war crimes down the road, but all we can do is...
• Commented on Quietly Terrifying Karl Rove NYT Interview
  Working at a Fedex Office location in Austin, I actually met Karl's wife who seemed nice enough. She goes by another last name, but all of her packages had 'Karl Rove' as the sender. As soon as I asked if...
• Commented on EVE Online tries the World of Democracycraft experiment
  Such a fun game (Most of the time)! I've been a pirate in EVE's universe for about 3 years, blowing up hapless industrialist's life savings and recent mineral hauls. The amount of hate you get for unconsentual PVP is sometimes...
• Commented on Barack is Mac, and Pac?
  It surprises me how quickly people claim fake when it really could be a number of lenses used. Stop claiming fake as a knee-jerk reaction - what would be the point of faking this photo? I'm not saying take every...
• Commented on Tales of the Unexpected
  I can't stop hearing "Rock Lobster" when I glance at the magazine spread. A Tim Burton / B52's music video... oooOOOhhh...

  Will amuse children and adults for hours! Then just chuck in the trash... no one likes a used monkey. Lol, great story....
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  And here I thought having an omnipresent God meant Christians wouldn't need places or churches to worship... This is why the whole idea of 'Organized Religion' is seen as corrupt. You really DONT need to provide pittance every weekend for...
• Commented on Panel finds Palin abused power; Judge orders email from her private accounts be preserved
  "I love how nobody in this country, including the candidates (of every election) try to plant the idea in everyone's heads that their government is free and doesn't cost a dime." My sweeping generalization should read... "I love how everybody...
• Commented on Panel finds Palin abused power; Judge orders email from her private accounts be preserved
  Whoever made that article header emblem... I work at a very slow Fedex Office (formerly Kinko's) on Sundays, so I made that image up into sheets of stickers. Now to have fun posting profanity everywhere....
• Commented on Panel finds Palin abused power; Judge orders email from her private accounts be preserved
  I have a feeling people would be willing to pay an bit more taxes when faced with hundreds of thousands of dollars of privatized medical bills... I love how nobody in this country, including the candidates (of every election) try...
• Commented on Sarah Palin in 30 seconds
  I nominate Tom Hale for Vice Maverick! ... couldn't resist. ;P...
• Commented on Daily Show on Republican hypocrisy
  Palin represents the GOP's version of Obama this time around. Youth, represents a vocal demographic, stands for party platform beliefs... Palin is the Republican Obama, that is why she is on the ticket. Palin is, however, the exact opposite of...
• Commented on Mayor shuts down home produce stand operated by kids
  It's really unbelieveable... and the amount of press they are getting is crazy! Any sort of pushback from the Mayor's Office is only going to hurt them more... I sent a comment in support of the girls through the city's...

  I wonder if they provide umbrellas when you visit....
• Commented on Tree pareidolia in Goshen, NH
  Closing your left eye, the face becomes a little more apparent, while closing your right eye it seems to fade and be not-as-noticeable. It's like those fruit-forming-faces study they did. The left side of the brain (which controls the right...
• Commented on NYT on trolls
  The news clip seems like just another slanted FOX News report. Anonymous are ... HACKERS! *Cue exploding van* The funny thing about Anonymous is that they only threaten. I don't think they have ever done anything directly to any of...
