Rapidpost - 30 March 2008
Mar. 31st, 2008 01:07 amGot to get to bed soon, so this is a definitely small and non-commented sort of news list.
International news: Flaming Poo attack! (proving that we’re still descended from monkeys), words from the front lines, with all of these being the writings of people comprising the 4,000 dead so far. Nixon tried to end the Vietnam conflict by threatening to drop nukes over the place, and then turning away from it in a seemingly similarly random manner.
Domestic News: The worst part about living in a society where you’re being watched by the government all the time? The actual extent of the watching is yet unknown. To further assist Big Brother in spying on you, the NSA has released its own flavor of Linux.
Living in the land of the free, however, permits a registered sex offender to run for mayor in a Texas town. Hope his candidacy is considered on equal grounds as everyone else.
It’s been a long way down, says Rick Falkvinge, explaining how the current crisis has been 37 years in the making, starting with debt spending and trying to cover that up with even more debt spending.
U.S. Presidential Candidates: Senator Obama says Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants to, which will make it all the more bitter in the end, but might get lots of people involved. Or it could backfire and have the Democratic turnout be split in half.
Other: Idiots hack epilepsy seizure forums, redirect to seizure-causing images. (Edit)Also of Interest(/Edit), Yahoo! is nixing all adult content from profiles. Groups, however, will apparently be unaffected.
Anne of Green Gables turns one hundred. And still has fans worldwide.
Last for tonight: Moopsball, Calvinball’s army-style predecessor, and some English words of good length and difficult pronunciation.
And now, more of the magic restful sleep that keeps me hale and hearty.
