A question for my conservative reader(s) :D The best argument for the Iraq war that I've heard is it's an experiment in the war on terror. Try to change the face of the war, and maybe instill democracy in the process. Fair Statement? What I want to know, is when does the Iraq war become a failure? Is it a death toll? A % of secure land? A lack of secure, widespread free elections? Or

Interesting article on the drinking age and the Bush daughters underage drinking exploits. The quote that wraps up the article and which i find quite interesting is: "The persecution of the Bush daughters isn't about safety; it's just an attempt of a neo-puritanical faction of American society to impose its morality on everyone else."

Police, acting on training kill an innocent man.

Medical marijuana comes before supreme court. I'm sure they will find a way to wiggle out of this without any real legal consequences.

Dashboard may be another great UI innovation from Apple. From the video, Dashboard seems to add another dimension to the desktop, and keep it easy to manage.

Fahrenheit 9/11 takes weekend top spot at box office. "Republican states are embracing the movie, and it's sold out in Republican strongholds all over the country."

Power handover a few days early. Smart move, not giving the terrorists a chance for some good symbolic destruction.

Cheney drops F-Bomb on senate floor. This really brings Cheney's lovable image to question.

Evil Senators seek to dismantle iPod's! Thanks EFF for fighting the good fight. This new act is much worse than DMCA, offering all kinds of leagal provisions against any device that has the potential to aid in piracy. You can have my iPod when you pry it from my cold, dead hands! I get the feeling like people would launch a revolution over iPods before Iraq ...

I grabbed the fullscreen version of Matrix Revolution by accident. WHY GOD WHY? Why the fuck do they even sell a version of the movie with reduced content, and try to pass it off as almost the same thing? Sure it says fullscreen at the top of the DVD, but, like, FUCK.

This brilliance brought to you by Google. I fucking love Google! The make me feel like not that stupid of an American sometimes.

Somewhere Mike Moore is combatting his Valenti-inspired depression with fried foods. Mike's attempt to get Fahrenheit 9/11 a PG-13 rating despite apparent graphic violence goes down in, well, flames. Are there any teens who care about things other than school pecking order, sex, or drugs? Not while I was one, damnit! Any teen who can't get into an R-movie should go see it with their parents

Betsy Hoffman sheds tears over her cunt comment. I really feel for the 'lil cunt you know. And I still intend to call her a cunt in the most endearing tone possible if I ever meet her. She may have apologized for trying to defend the term cunt, but she is no where near apologizing for defending the assholes who demoralized Katie Hnida. OK I just wanted to work cunt into every sentence.

Text of John Kerry's speech in Denver yesterday. In the name of Punk Rock, S. and I took a few seconds to belittle some pro-Bush protestors with such classics as "Fuck Bush!" and a little gesture I like to call "The Bird", coupled with our shit eating grins, I hope to have disturbed at least one old woman.

Well the strawberry cheesecake from the coffee shop across the street was as good tasting as I has assumed, watching from afar. A perfect companion to some bong hits and reality television bliss to cap off a work night. it would come back to haunt me, first at 12:30 and then 5:30. My god the humanity of it all.
