I'm not a Joe Rogan fan (at all), but he nails this one.

This is pretty funny, till the end, which is just disturbing.  For
some reason, this guy reminds me of Erik.  And it seems like something
Erik might do.  :)   Sorry, Erik.  :)

The "torture memos"

Wow, this guy hits the nail right on the head:
"Rightly considered, the memos should be a source of pride. They represent a nation of laws struggling to defend itself against a savage, lawless enemy while adhering to its legal commitments and norms. Most societies throughout human history wouldn't have bothered."

I cannot believe this one - "The practice of "walling" was characteristic. A report of the International Committee of the Red Cross made it seem a brutish exercise involving slamming the heads of recalcitrant detainees against walls. The memos make it clear that the detainees were thrown against fake, flexible walls, with their necks swathed in towels to prevent whiplash."

Having run out of other ways to screw you, USAir decides on a fee fee. (Sadly, this 'headline' is real.)

Awesome South Park Episode ;)

Daniel Kreps of Rolling Stone said: "Many have tried, all have failed, but in the end it only took four animated children from Colorado to topple Kanye West's ego. ... One day, we'll all look back on this day and thank South Park for ushering in this historic moment in the life of Kanye."

Maybe the oddest woot! yet...

Original 1978 Disney records. Almost as old as me, older than many friends and coworkers.

"30 years! Here's how old that is: it even includes selections from Song of the South — which has since fallen out of favor as the result of, uh… certain changing cultural dynamics."

They also have a USB turntable on their Yahoo! site.
