Wow, throwback to the “good” old days, eh? Most computers used to be defaulted to light colored text on black, but black text on white is much easier on the eyes.
They did this in support of “earth hour“, although it actually saves no energy.

I am completely bummed. Jericho, one of my favorite TV shows was canceled due to embarrassingly low ratings. More people watched a repeat of “Law & Order: SVU” than watched the season finale. That is pretty sad.
The show had some problems, but it was a gripping story. J & R, a [...]

The Democrats need to get a clue and recognize that they only have one electable candidate, and that candidates name doesn’t rhyme with Billary. While I think McCain will give Obama a run for his money, my money is still on the Dems dark horse.
Hillary now claims she was “sleep deprived” when she exaggerated the [...]

Summary.
We know that our climate is changing.
We don’t know if we are causing it.
We don’t know if we can stop it.
We are not prepared for it.
We’re not even DISCUSSING preparation.
There is a rapidly growing mound of evidence that our climate is changing rapidly. I’m not going to do your research for you, [...]

I received one of your glossy advertisements in the mail today, asking me to “Come Back To Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess”. As this flier indicates, I used to subscribe to Verizon’s EVDO service and do not anymore. What this flier does not indicate is that I did not willfully drop this service, you [...]

Today’s “Party Hard” Protests seems to have gone well, although the “leader of Anonymous” was arrested in Atlanta for “protesting without a permit”. The good ol’ Southern boys also handed out numerous tickets for honking, as that is apparently against the law (selective enforcement, anyone?). “Leader” of Anon…so silly. The [...]

While it’s by no means official, it appears that the Vatican is advocating an updated list of the “Seven Deadly Sins”. These expound on the first seven, and should not be considered a replacement.
1. “Bioethical” violations such as birth control
2. “Morally dubious” experiments such as stem cell research
3. Drug abuse
4. Polluting the environment
5. Contributing to [...]

Saw this on digg yesterday, looks like it’s been picked up by mainstream news. 429 hits on google news (for puppy + marine), probably going to be three times as many tomorrow. While the jury is still out on whether this was a stunt or not, It appears to be quite real; a [...]
