Who is the man that would risk his neck for his brother man?

Can you dig it?

Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?

"[...]We should all feel the hottest kind of anger about backroom political dealers who have left us here. If the banking system can count my $100, why can't the election system count my vote?"

100,000 dead. Innocent civilians. I no longer recognize my country.

Dilbert comics are so brilliant.

This was my whole day today.

From a series I call, "Jobs I'm Glad I Don't Have." Given the way things are going at work, though, this might look pretty good a few months from now.

OK. I'm already sick of hearing the term "podcasting."

No kidding.

New York Times: Huge Cache of Explosives Vanished From Site in Iraq

Well done, President Bush.

Epson announced that its R-D1 digital rangefinder will ship in the U.S. on November 1.

The White House removing documents from its web site. I understand how the amoral political operatives would direct people to do this. I don't understand how the technical staff goes ahead and does it. Rewriting history is one of those things that should ring a bell.
