why silky pony hasn't made an endorsement
I wondered why ol' Silky
hadn't made a commitment. Basically, he doesn't like Hillary because she's taken too much money from big lobbyists and big corporations, and Elizabeth apparently hates Hillary's guts. Which would leave Obama, right? Not so much, the Messiah totally effed up.
Apparently Obama wasn't as gracious as Silky thought he should be the day Silky dropped out of the race. Obama later got into an argument with Elizabeth Edwards during a sit-down with Camp Silky because the Messiah's health care plan doesn't mandate insurance and care. On the flipside, Hillary had a cordial meeting with Camp Silky that went fairly smooth. From the sounds of it, Silky isn't gonna endorse either.
Seems to me that the NYMag is getting reeeeeal nervous about this primary, asking how the Democrat elite can talk down Hillary. (Hint guys: They can't) They lament the increasingly brutal primary fight. They then go on to speculate what Democrat leaders can talk down. Pretty pitiful how far down the line they go.
This Democrat primary has become supremely entertaining. No matter where you are on the McCain question, this fighting amongst the Democrats is good for conservatives, even if the Democrats can get their shit in order enough to offer a challenge or even beat McCain, odds are the Dems ripped each other up enough to prevent a deluge of Democrat gains.

How can Silky endorse anyone? He's too busy looking at himself in the mirror.
You are right, though -- the Democratic infighting can only be good for the Republicans. If they can't get their act together soon, then the Republican will stand a better chance.

Yeah, too bad the GOP leadership is to damned stupid to take advantage of the opening. Stupid Party indeed.

So, if Edwards doesn't endorse anyone, what happens to his all-important "hair-dresser and gay men's store salesclerk" contingent?
Who will those sissy-marys get behind now?

california nannies moving to end emissions exemption on older cars
The proposal would effect the
central part of the Soviet of California, and would pretty much ban any car from driving that didn't meet current California emissions standards, so you can kiss that restoration project in your garage goodbye. Basically, the Progressive Politburo of the Soviet of California missed some of their air quality goals, and it sounds like they need to make some kulaks and capitalists pay for their crimes against the State as a result.
So if you live in the Soviet of California, you may want to send your state-level congresscritters a friendly little note suggesting that you'll be very unhappy if you end up having to divert money from said restoration project and toward throwing their worthless Nanny asses out of office because they supported this stupid proposal. Or you could do the even smarter thing and flee from that Marxist hellhole.

See? You always look at the dark side of things.
Think of the coming glut of rust-free late 60s, early 70s American muscle cars. Hey, if you didn't want to have the state make all your favorite stuff illegal, you shouldn't have moved to California.

The police did well with my school when it happened too(no one died at ours), but we've also seen poor responses to attacks at other schools as well. I agree with Stash and believe faculty, staff and students should be permitted to carry if they qualify to do so, its the best chance we have at limiting the damage of these type of attacks.

obama's pro-bowling career about as likely as a primary win in pennsylvania
This is
funny, Barack Obama went to a bowling alley in Altoona with Bob "Hey, my dad was governor!" Casey Jr. Commenting on his crappy bowling,
"My economic plan is better than my bowling," Obama told fellow
bowlers Saturday evening at the Pleasant Valley Recreation Center.
"It has to be," a man called out.
Welcome to PA, Barack. Though I'd definitely dispute Obama's claim above.
Of course, some eeeevil right winger had to be there to rain on the Hope'n'Change Parade,
Some Democrats worry the hard-fought, drawn-out race is already
hurting the party's chances to win in November and Republicans hope
they're right.
"I think it's a good competition, but I think the Democratic party
is going to be blown apart," said Mark Irvin, a 49-year-old Republican
who was bowling at the same time as Obama.
Mark, you mean you
aren't an Obamican?
Shhhh?
And when I say Obama sucked at bowling, I mean
daaaayum he sucked, and there is video, so do hit that link.
The crowd of regulars pressed in to take pictures, get autographs, and rib him on his poor skills.
Obama did improve, nearly getting a strike in one frame, and in the
seventh, picking up a spare, giving him a score of 37. Casey had a
score of 71 after getting a strike, and Hart, with one less frame,
racked up a score of 82.
Heh, maybe they should have put up some bumpers. It doesn't really qualify as a gaffe, it's just entertaining to see the Messiah utterly fail at something.

Well, maybe if he hung out with more white people he would be better at bowling.
Posted by: Scoop11 at March 30, 2008 03:10 PM (AEmfc)

A 100 would still be pitiful, but at least make triple digits, and Scoop, there are black bowlers, it isn't quite hockey level whiteness.

Well, you wouldn't know it where I am. When I worked in the newsroom we would make cracks about how white this state is -- when we had a NAACP representative come to Bike Week to protest a vendor who was selling racist t-shirts, he told the reporter that the "local black community" wouldn't stand for it.
The reporter's thought to us afterwards: "Yeah, all 3 of them."
To be fair, the minority population is increasing here -- my mother in law is helping out some Somalis through her church who are refugees here. But it's still predominantly white in these parts.

I was gonna say, where you're at you can count the black population on your fingers.

I've never made a triple digit score in bowling. Neither have any of my friends, which is why we invented our own bowling game. We call it Lots 'n' Little. Basically, you try to knock down as many pins as possible with the first ball, and as few as possible with the second. Your score for the frame is the number of pins you get on the first ball minus the number you get on the second ball (and if you get a gutter ball, there's a huge penalty, so no deliberately throwing the ball in the gutter).
There are various other rules for strikes, spares, splits, etc. A spare is REALLY bad - you get double the points subtracted. If you have a split, like 7-10, and you roll the ball directly between the pins without hitting either one, you get double points added.
(Naturally, we coded a spreadsheet to calculate the score for us and brought the laptop to the bowling alley.)

I started bowling because there was a girl in elementary school who i had a crush on and she was in the saturday morning kids league, so i joined to be around her. Actually got pretty good and was averaging 140 by the time i was 10. And to further prove what a lame ass kid i was, my folks not only got me my own bowling ball, they also got me my own bowling shoes. I even had a favorite pro bowler, Mark Roth, and copied his style. The girl moved about a year after i first joined, but we're still friends to this day.

What's makes Obama's score really sad is that they were using the gutter guards they usually put up for the little kids.
Seriously, this is as bad as those pics of Kerry trying to catch a football. Looks stupid and does nothing but give the opposition ammo to make you out to be a fool.
Of course, in Obama's case, pretty target-rich environment to start with anyway.

The bumpers don't extend all the way down the lane, so it is perfectly possible to get gutter balls with them up if your ball takes an unexpected hook at the end. I did it plenty of times as a kid.

doubleplusundead remains a foulmouthed masterpiece
Nice Deb has a fun new
blog gizmo that lets you punch in your URL and see how foulmouthed your blog is. I did well, but that foulmouthed ratbastard
bmac has me beat by a mile. Says Nice Deb,
Let’s see how I compare to The Hostages. There’s no one more filthy and dirty than that lot:
Cuss level high - 24.5% cuss level.
Well, there is someone, other than bmac. I was surprised to learn that I actually eeked out The Hostages by a tenth of a point. Hey Hostages,

I'm actually kinda surprised I scored that high, I've tried to mellow on the bad language a little bit. In any case, here you go, my scorecard,

Too funny. I'll definitely be linking Nice Deb's post in the next linkfest to see what the other morons end up with. I thought about lacing this whole post with cursing to see if I could catch up to bmac's foulmouthed fucking blog...

well, let's see where this goes
Given all the threats to
Fitna, I wonder how bad the
threats for this will get? I'll be stunned if this thing happens,
The Satanic Verses is the OG of the works that cause Jihadis to go into a rabid frenzy, I'm guessing they aren't gonna be any happier about a German theatre's dramatic interpretation of it. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a new push to get at Rushdie either. Unfortunately, a Turkish actor has already had to withdraw from the project due to threats of attacks on him. Then there's this,
But the head of Potsdam's security, Mathias Tänzer, said the theatre
had not properly prepared authorities for the play. "When we discovered
the play was in the theatre's programme, we asked them what security
measures they had in mind, but they wanted neither police protection
nor checks of people at the door," he said. "We're monitoring the
situation, and if any concrete threats are received we'll advise the
theatre to cancel."
Initially I read this and thought,
wait, the theatre didn't get security for this? Then I read that last phrase and thought maybe that was why they didn't want the Potsdam police involved with security? At first glance, it makes you think the theatre production team was being reckless and stupid about their security. Then you stop and think, maybe, but perhaps there's a reason they did it, and I'm thinking that last statement by Tänzer may be why. It may well be in the best interests of Potsdam's security forces to simply shut the production down in order keep things from being stirred up.
Something we in the US need to take from this and the
Fitna story is that government is not going to automatically choose civil liberties and Constitutional rights if we engage in similar criticism of hostile persons and ideologies and face similar threats. Our Constitution is not a set of rights granted to us by our government, it is an acknowledgment by our government that those are our natural rights. Those rights are
ours to preserve.
Governments will only go so far to defend your liberties. Once you move past what your government will do to protect your liberties, you will either be faced with a choice of self-censorship, or to use the fullest extent of your Constitutional rights and liberties to fend for yourself. This leaves Europeans in a much weaker position then we are in the US, particularly when it comes to self-defense.
We can look at Ayaan Hirsi Ali and the obscene and truly depressing amount of difficulty she had finding security from government in both the
US and Europe as an example, and she is very high profile. Getting government sponsored security has to be even harder for a bunch of nameless people like the UK-based LiveLeak crew and a bunch of actors in Potsdam.

A bunch of people switched parties in Kentucky in order to vote in the Democrat primaries are being denied their vote because of a law setting up a cutoff date for reregistry, so says the

There will be some lawsuits over this one. Nine thousand people being disenfranchised??!! Wasn't anyone telling these people that if they re-register parties after Dec 31, they wouldn't get to vote? That seems like something their circuit clerks' offices and voting registrars' offices should have been explaining. They say in the article that they were warning folks, but something tells me the message wasn't being spread on the local level.

Yeah.

Side note: The KY SecState is a Republican, and won by a 14-point margin in an election that saw Gov. Fletcher go down in flames. I can definitely see him running for higher KY office later (for governor, or perhaps Senate if Sen. Bunning's crazy ass retires).

30 of the dumbest video game titles
Yeah,
a lot of these have dumb titles, but the creator of said list can't seem to make up their mind as to whether this is a list of dumb titled video games or dumb video games in general.
I do have to say, I'd never seen the titles that are cheap ripoffs of popular youth based movie/book franchises like the Harry Potter series and the gingerbread man from the Shrek movies. Some of the other ones are pretty good too. I may have to see if I can find an emulator so I can play
Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

It'll cost you $4,400, and no, it isn't Space Camp, its Porn Camp. No, I'm not gonna make a judgment on porn or the porn industry, because I really don't want to start the tired -porn is evil!/freeeeedom!- slapfight that has been fought in society since porn has existed.
Said
camp is actually more of a seminar for people getting into the porn industry. The seminar is an attempt to cash in on the rise of youtube type porn sites. They'll be doing a live shoot, and doing seminars on production and probably most important given the way the new user-generated sites are developing, the legal requirements and record-keeping aspects of the industry.
I wonder if in part this is an attempt by the industry to reign in the user-generated stuff? I have to think the whole established industry has to be nervous, not just because of the competition, but because if the user-generated stuff ends up in violation of law, they'll likely be on the bad end of a crackdown too, if not face more regulation.

hawk eats family pet
Okay, I know I'm
horrible for laughing at this, but I can't stand little yappy dogs. The family left the critter at a kennel while they were on vacation, one of the handlers went to check on the dog, and it was gone. Their walls and fences are solid, so the kennel operators think the only thing it could have been was a local hawk.
Yeah, look, in my defense, I was really hungry... I love this,
"I don't doubt it because we are in Florida," the dog's owner, Deanne
Gusler, said. "But in my opinion, if they know there is a chance a hawk
will swoop down and get my dog, they need to be down there watching
her."
What, so there will be witnesses next time? Because they aren't even going to get a chance to react before that thing is gone. Does she realize how friggin' fast hawks move? I had the opportunity to see one take a bluejay once. All I saw was a flash until it hit the jay, and even then I only got a brief look at the hawk, feathers were flying, the jay was letting off some horrible screech, and that was only for like two seconds. The jay went silent, then the hawk flew off with his meal,
fast.
Birds of prey really are amazing to watch. It's one thing to see them on nature shows, but its another thing entirely to see one swoop and take prey in person.
Fortunately for the dogs, the kennel operators are smarter than the owner, and are putting up some fencing along the top of the pens to ward off hawks...poor hawks, no more overfed yappy housepets to snack on.

When I was 20 I went to Kenya to visit a friend whose father was teaching at the International School in Nairobi.
My first day we went to the school, we were out on a patio where people were eating and a couple of kites had figured out there was food there. They were swooping down on people's trays as they came out the door and flying off before they could react at all. It was a pretty wild introduction to Africa.
Some people were trying to warn the people coming out, others were just enjoying the spectacle. It was very cool to watch, they hit the tray and were gone and then the person would react way too late. And the kites could have had their heads if they wanted, but they just wanted their breakfast.

Thankfully our birds of prey don't seem to be that bold, though I was fairly close, that could be pretty scary, particularly if you weren't expecting it.

I Watched a Bald Eagle pluck a 15lb lamb out of a barn yard once. Most impressive thing I've ever seen. My father saw the bird up about 1000ft overhead and we were trying to get the sheep into the barn, 25-30 seconds later, swoop, lamb be gone. It was like a B52 flying 10ft off the ground.

Karl at PW on
McCain's League of Democracies.
NC Congressman...hey, c'mon guys, this pork money isn't a big deal! Oh, he's also the biggest pork fiend in the state. It is a big deal, maybe not in the amount of money it sucks up, but let's be honest...
they're buying votes, and no one should be allowed to do it, whether its the GOP Bridge to Nowhere guy or notorious pork fiend John Murtha. Oh, and
AT&T is hiring...maybe.
Awesome. A Coptic priest is making a real pest of himself for jihadis and islamists as he successfully converts Muslims in Egypt.
Good job, Father Botros. His story is fascinating, be sure to read it to see how he does it.
Mike at Cold Fury goofs on the always

the moronosphere network - around the world in 80 iq points
Thanks to the
Moron-in-Chief for that headline. Once again, if you'd like to be added to the Moronosphere blogroll, do feel free to drop a comment here or at
CB's. Oh, and if anyone has a fun title or line for the Moronosphere Links, feel free to drop a comment with it too.
Again, since CB is putting together the Moronosphere blogroll, it only seems fair to give her first dibs on linkage. Today we see a downside on swearing off pork, in this case, constituents in South Carolina want federal money for a cemetery for veterans, but their
congressman has sworn off pork, and is sticking to that promise.
I say downside because this is a legit cause that is worthy of federal funds. He says he'll look for other means to get this cemetery built, I think setting up a charity fund, putting up a website and seeking donors would be a good start, particularly online, there are a lot of people who would be ready to jump on board to help with that.
And here is a worthy cause that I somehow missed yesterday in yesterday's links, but
PattyAnn at The Hostages caught it.
Dan Abrams calls Kos unpatriotic!
The
NYT discovers the Rickroll, gets pwn3d. Non Moronosphere link here, but I have to add this, someone at the
LA Times finally sat Rick Astley down and asked what he thought of the Rickroll. He's actually really cool about it.
I've gotta link it, don't I?
And a good morning dose of
FAIL for you.
And how about an
EPIC FAIL chaser, courtesy of the global warming cultists, who are watching their 15 minutes crumble under repeated bitchsmacks from
new scientific findings. (As it turns out, this wasn't new at all...do check your sources people, its impossible for me to do that too)
Hot and
cold from mesa.
Dan Ruwe on the
increasingly aggro and violent anti-war movement.
Steamboat McGoo on putting mice into suspended animation with hydrogen sulfide...which you may know for its unpleasant smell. (PS, McGoo always links a nudie pic at the end of all his posts, *hint* those would be NSFW if you click them)
The Eggman takes a few good swipes at a
NYT writer.
bmac says
good riddance to Jericho.
Hugo Chavez continues attention whoring, but did
endorse John McCain...sorta.
Okay, this is a
little unnerving.

Rickroll is fun as hell, I also like the
Scaryroll and
8-bit Rickroll. I also saw one a few days ago that starts out with a Truther video, then after a few seconds, it starts to fade into Rickroll. That would be fun as hell to use to mess with Truthers. What's funny is that it doesn't have any indicators that its a Rickroll, all the tags and text in the side are Truther related.
Wyatt...I doubt it, no force could match that level of stupidity, with possible exception of Truthers.

The Daily Show was hysterical, back when Craig Kilborn was host. As soon as Stewart showed up, long before he was a DNC infomercial, he made it lame.
And Weekend Update used to be very darn funny too, Chevy Chase was pretty darn funny, then Bill Murray and Jane Curtain were funny too, it sucked for a while then Dennis Miller made it funny again and Norm MacDonald made it funny too. I haven't watched since Norm, but I assume it sucks just like the rest of the show.
Shows need someone funny at the helm. Of course, the Daily Show has even more wrong with it, it can't deviate from the orthodoxy or it's in big trouble. Any "joke" that gets applause is, by definition, not a joke but an affirmation statement.

links from around the moronosphere, the moronosphere network edition
That Moronosphere blogroll really swelled up quick. I knew there were a good number of you morons, but
Ace is right, we now have a sizeable army of retards.
Conservative Belle has been making the The Moronosphere blogroll, and has done an excellent job gathering up names. If you're a moron, and you don't see yourself on there, you of course can leave a comment here or over there (Pixy should have Wordpress unbanned again, so you should be able to put it in the URL box) if you'd like to be.
Because of the sheer size and number of people, there will definitely be some changes to the daily linkfest. When the number of people was small, it was pretty easy to manage, and I could link a lot of the morons on my blogroll. Er, if I try to do that today with that huge-assed blogroll it'd take forever, and the post would be a mile long and completely unreadable, so the links featured are going to be more widely varied.
I'm still trying to strategerize and decide what I'll do, but the Moronosphere Network seems to be a popular idea, and I'll be sticking with it. Be sure to drop by and check in for updates.
Since she has done such a kickass job on making the blogroll, Conservative Belle gets first dibs on linkage today, and she continues to highlight politicians who are
going kosher and swearing off pork money. Today she has three of them from Georgia, if you're looking into candidates to support, these might have potential.
Sean at Brea Canyon has
some of the best title for stories...
Dan Abrams whines and seethes because of
conservatives engaging in strategeric voting.
Since we now have an army of retards, how about

klaatu barada f*ck no!
Hollywood is planning on taking the
classic movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and turning it into a global warming sermon. Now I know that the original was likely an allusion to our relationship with the USSR, sort of making an argument for a soft, lefty let's get along approach with the USSR, so maybe this isn't an obscene stretch, but I find myself at that default position of not mangling a classic by making a crappy remake. Seriously, can we leave the classics alone?

Ya know, as a big enough film geek to actually have a B.A. in it, and my own personal feeling that films can and should be remade to reflect the times if done right, I agree that they should have left this one alone. This was one of my father's favorite movies (he actually laughed when I showed him "Army of Darkness" for the first time and he got the subtle reference to this film in there), and should never, ever be touched. Period. I want to see Hollywood shovel the 12 feet of global warming that I got this year from my front and back yards.

Well, I'm one of the rare people that actually liked the "Stepford Wives" remake, although I agree there were some holes in it (if you look at the deleted scenes, it does give an explanation that the women were, indeed, supposed to be robots). To me, the remake reflected the times -- women were gaining all the power, while the husbands stood back to let them have their careers. In the original, the husband was upset because the wife had a photography hobby.
And you're right, they are rarely done. But I also think there are only so many stories you can tell. Most end up becoming variations on themselves. The "Psycho" remake was just unnecessary.

I liked its fidelity to the original version with Hayley Mills, and I get a kick out of all the little nods to the original (for example, the golddigger from the first one appears as the mother of the golddigger in the second one). Only thing wrong with the remake is that the girls' mother is too wimpy. You can't believe she ever raised her voice, much less chucked a hairdryer at anyone. Now, Maureen O'Hara? Oh, yeah. She'd definitely clock you if you pissed her off.
Also, I personally think that
Move Over, Darling is better than
My Favorite Wife, of which it is a remake.

Oh, I personally love it when they remake movies and make them to fit their prejudices, nothing loses money like a movie that some Hollywood nitwit thinks is "IMPORTANT!!!" and that makes me laugh.
Besides, as long as they don't remake "The Last Remake of Beau Geste" I'll be fine.

I gotta dis- agree with Scoop about the Stepford Wives remake, probably IMHO, the worst movie ever made, ever.
Made no sense whatsoever, robots, not robots, WTF?
I wanted to throw my shoe through the TV when it was over.
2nd worst movie? Sliver.

Thats why I conceded to the fact that there was that one aspect of it that was confusing if watching the original cut, and that the deleted scenes explains it better. If they left it in, it wouldn't have been so confusing, especially since in the original they WERE robots.
Funny thing is, in my unfinished screenplay (that I still intend on working on -- it's in second draft now) the beginning of the film has the lead character discuss the merits of remakes in relation to "The Stepford Wives" before discussing the remake of "Night of the Living Dead".

I think Al Gore was miscast...or maybe not, he hasn't been nearly as robotic since he went nuts after the 2000 election.

oh, now the brits are angry about someone suggesting forced sterilization!
There have been a bunch of angry calls for some Tory politician to resign after he stated that parents who receive government benefits should be forced to undergo sterilization. This harebrained statement was
something that came from his blog in discussing a missing girl who is one of seven children, who have five different fathers. Of course, at doubleplusundead know a
little something about inept politicians getting themselves in trouble with their blogs. We also know about lame excuses they give when they get in over their heads. Says Councilor John Ward in his defense...or is that defence?
Speaking over the Easter weekend, he said: "The whole idea was to get
people to think about issues. The comments were taken from another blog
but I can't remember where they were from.
"Also, I'm half-blind and missed out a word, I should have written
'consideration' in the first sentence. I'm sorry if it has caused any
problems."
Yeah, these politicians seem to love taking comments from other blogs...
Obviously the guy is an obnoxious tool (and a
cheesy, smarmy looking little dude), and should be drummed out of office, Labour and Liberal Democrats are calling for his resignation now, angrily declaring,
Medway Messenger: "If the conservatives care about their image they should expel Cllr Ward immediately.
"There is no place for this in mainstream politics."
Fellow Labour councillor Bill Esterson added: "It's the sort of thing Nazis did in Germany."
All that is true, and he deserves to be pushed out of office for that, but I have a question for these Labourites in particular, where were you in demanding that fellow Labourite Dawn Primarolo be shown the door for suggesting that
teenage girls be forcibly sterilized? I've been looking for some sort of strong denunciation or call for Primarolo's resignation by politicians in the UK, but I haven't seen it.
That said, even if it was, forced sterilization seems to have some support in the UK, if you look at the
Daily Mail article I link in my "More Fun With Airstrip One" piece (linked in the previous paragraph), you'll not only see a columnist supporting Dawn Primarolo's idea to force sterilization of teenage girls, if you look in the comments on that article, you'll see most of the commenters were solidly in favor of mass sterilization. Seems to me its not the policy they are opposed to, but the person who said it. Councilor Ward's comments are probably
not that out of the mainstream in the UK, and the Labourites are being cynical in their condemnations.
Question, what the hell
isn't wrong with the UK?

We're all screwed man, just accept that and see the humor in the situation.
I don't really have anything to say about what you wrote, I just really like that gif. Mostly because I know it totally pisses off lots of people with no sense of humor, like nazis who would be mad at your trivializing Hitler and lefties who would be mad at you for using an image of the second (Third? Fourth? He's up there, but I'm not sure where Karl Rove and Dick Cheney fit on that scale) most despicable man ever.
And that makes me laugh even harder as I contemplate 'Blair's Law', where all the worlds multiple idiocies are becoming one giant, useless force"

Hey BTW, do you no longer go by the Sinistar handle? And would you like me to change my blogroll to Doubleplusundead?
Wordpress is banned again.
PIXY!!!!!!

Yep, that handle has been retired, and I'll be sticking with doubleplusundead, so yeah, probably best to change it. *sigh* I'll go email Pixy.

hey ++undead, thanks for the linky. I tried to thank you yesterday but mee.nu doesn't like wordpress. One troll rose to the bait but didn't come back to defend his idiocy, maybe his mom cut off his internet access.
Thanks again.

Yeah, its been a nagging problem with the mee.nu spam filter, I think Pixy is getting closer to finding a permanent fix for that, but yeah, just let me know if the filter is screwed up so I can have Pix fix it again.

And a happy Easter to you, too, sir.
I can't find your e-mail on the site, so I'll have to send this to you here:
The FBI's Newest Attempt at Catching Child Sex OffendersFirst time I had gone to IFeminist.com in awhile, and they had that on their front page. Thought you might find it interesting.

Yeah, saw that on Ace's sidebar, so I didn't cover it. I would have just ended up making the obvious Chris Hansen jokes anyway.
