If I could stand up and cheer, I would. Wait, what am I talking about. Of course I can stand up and cheer. In response to a takedown by Six Apart, the parent company of LiveJournal of various incest/pedophilia fiction (disgusting, I know, stay with me folks), they said the following:

Verizon, bastions of all that is good and right with the world of de-regulated telecom and company with solid ethics, moral fiber, and business integrity, are now about to start chariging you $4 a month instead of $2 a month for the mere crime of not using your fucking long distance.
No, I’m not kidding. [...]
At a recent economic development summit, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs resolved to negotiate revenue sharing with MTS for transmissions signals that cross the land, water and air space of their reserves and traditional territories.
“[The request is] based on the understanding that we do have some fundamental rights as indigenous people to land, water and [...]
I almost want to try this to see if I can replicate the result…
My husband has been dealing with a particularly nasty summer cold and it’s making it difficult for him to fall asleep. Shortly after midnight one evening, he asked me to run to the store and pick him up some medicine. I agreed [...]
The Democrats and the most ethical congress in history march on. You may remember this as the fight that got Murtha in a bit of hot water with no one and had him threatening to remove all earmarks from Mike Rogers’ future bills (a clear violation of House rules that warranted zero response or [...]

The ratings picture is getting worse for CBS’ “Evening News With Katie Couric.”
Last week, the network’s flagship newscast drew its smallest audience since 1987, according to Nielsen Media Research.
ABC’s “World News With Charles Gibson,” on the other hand, recorded its fifth straight week as the most-watched evening newscast on the air.
The weekly win comes just [...]
Reuters: Straight pub wins right to ban gays

What? You mean people don’t care about a whiny little has-been? Color me stunned…
It’s been five months, so it’s time to see how it’s going: It’s been a complete joke and colossal waste of time and space. FM didn’t sell a single ad for me, (apparently, I’m not the only person to have [...]
WTF Podshow? Is Adam Curry’s pink jumper too tight?
“We believe technology is ready for primetime, and Dvorak is the man for the job,” said Ron Bloom, CEO and Co founder of PodShow. “Typical technology channels are really just listings of programming, featuring boring talking heads or uninformed rants. PodShow TECH will feature personality driven [...]
Not that all politicians don’t do this, but it’s interesting that it’s still happening because we heard in November about what a change we would be seeing with Democrats in charge.

From my favorite cranky curmudgeon:
No one under the age of 70 needs self-esteem. It does teenagers no good, every high school is Lord of the Flies writ large and illegibly, and once they’ve achieved adulthood it’s more trouble to maintain than it’s worth. Besides, the little shits can’t add.
Talking about why kids hate school, and [...]

Many people have asked me why I paid for Calico when I also paid for Photoshop CS3 and CS3 has a great panorama tool. Now that is true, and the pano tool in Photoshop is enormously improved, but let’s not kid ourselves. There’s no comparison between what Calico does versus what Photoshop CS3 [...]
So you would think that Google would’ve capitulated to the right-wing pressure after last year (and the year before, and the year before that) with the whole “You didn’t update your logo for Memorial Day, therefore you’re unpatriotic” bullshit. Thankfully, they didn’t, and they didn’t just update their logo to appease the right-wing patriotism [...]
