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."
http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=YTRhM2E2MTE0NjQ3MzYwNWM2ODJjMTgwNWQwMmVkYzc=
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."

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.

End of a meme? (And a ginormous FAIL for Chicago)
Does the "FAIL" tag jump the shark once it is actually used by mainstream media?
Anyway, interesting article nonetheless.

Perfect example of the political shithole that Chicago has been since the days of Capone. BHO BHO, excuse me needed to clear my throat there.

Microsoft + Ford = A marriage made in FAIL
OK, so I finally got to Denver, almost two hours late. Thanks United! Still sucking, I see. "First Class" was more pissed off than I was because the replacement jet was from "Ted" which means we are all in ye olde cattle class.
A Hertz rep was actually on the sidewalk telling people if you didn't have a reservation, don't get on the shuttle bus because you ain't getting one. So that means I get a free "upgrade." Which means instead of a nice little import econobox that actually works, I get a Ford Escape. It has only 2K on it, leather, sunroof, but I didn't really drive it to give you any kind of review. I did forget that for some reason Ford puts the wiper controls where I usually have headlights, so I looked like a moron in the parking lot.
But my complaint is about SYNC. That's the new Ford/Microsoft venture to make a car radio. Apparently, it has a USB port. Don't care. It has Sirius. Still don't care. It has an AUX in for my iPod! YAY!
You see, the problem is that Microsoft is a SOFTWARE company (work with me folks, they're definitely not hardware). Well, it seems they don't understand a common problem in mobile audio, the god-forsaken ground loop.
Problem one: With the radio TURNED OFF, and current draw from the cigarette lighter causes a buzz to come out the speakers. So, every button I pushed on the GPS = buzz. As the GPS routes a path to Carl's Jr = buzz.
Problem two: OK, so I then hook my iPod into the AUX input. The iPod is turned OFF. I turn on the radio. It says AUX. I heard MUSIC coming out of the back speakers, somewhat faint, kinda staticy. It was my book iPod, so there isn't a song on it! Had to turn it on and off a few times to verify that it wasn't sourced from outside the car. Removed the wire in case it was acting as some kind of weird antenna. Nope. The radio was still tuning something somewhere for "TEH FAIL."
So buzzing and phantom radio signals. Way to go Microsoft!
