  • TECHNOLOGY WAR: Senate (including Obama) Passes Telecom Immunity Bill
    Yup. They knowingly pardoned every illegal action done in violation of american’s privacy and constitutional rights. Great job, assholes.

  • MUSIC: Who Needs Music Labels? Last.fm Starts Paying Royalties To Unsigned Artists
    more royalties than you’d get if you signed up with an actual label!

    Last.FM is a solid service. I’ve been logging my tracks played with them since 2001 or so.

  • COMEDY: Worst woman ever?
    No, that would be Rosie O’Donnel. This chick actually has a neutral face. But her body is WAY too skinny. And I think Marilyn Monroe is too thick; this is just disturbingly skinny. OH DEAR GOD.

  • POLITICS: Barack Obama Breaks Promise, Flip Flops, and supports Telco’s
    TechCrunch article on how Barack Obama flip-flopped and did what is wrong for America. FISA specifically made fines for what the telcos did, but hey: I guess if Congress can change the law retroactively, what difference does any law make?

  • SIMULATIONS: Universe Sandbox – create your own universe
    Wow. I would have LOVED something like this as a kid. I bet you can get sucked in and waste a lot of time with this one! :)

  • MEDICINE: America’s AIDS Apartheid. Very interesting article.
    Says a lot about racism, and our capitalist medical system, which apparently forces people to die based on dumb luck (like which state you live in.) I CAN’T BELIEVE CONDOMS AREN’T ALLOWED IN ASS-RAPE PRISON. That ultimately wastes taxpayer money.

    The Telecom Immunity bill was infurating. Bush completely won that battle. I do understand why the Democrats voted for it though, since the Republicans were going to introduce a much worse bill, and if the Democrats voted against it, the political ads would roll out accusing the Dems of being “soft on terror.” Democracy doesn’t make sense when the country’s an insane asylum.

    I was going to comment on the Worst Woman Ever (I have bigger breasts than her! w00t!), but Ryan’s comment reminds me of lyrics from NOFX’s “The Idiots Are Taking Over”

    “There’s not point for Democracy
    When ignorance is celebrated.

    …

    Majority Rule
    Don’t work in mental institutions”

    Back to the Worst Woman Ever– Her face reminds me of Rosario Dawson
