Poor Monkeys

MSNBC Poll


I’m disgusted.
You can see why here.
But to summarize:
Out of 9045 web site responses (as of now)
The majority of respondents - 56%, when asked “If it were up to you, which military action would you prefer to take in the war on Iraq?” answered “More aggressive action that would increase the risk of Iraqi civilian casualties [...]

QueerIT.com irksomeness


This really annoys me.
History:

Creating addicts…


I did my good deed for the month today.
I started the rather easy process getting another tech support guy - David - addicted to Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books.

Phun with Photoshop


From Addbusters.org:

Of Cowboys and Bombs


I was checking out news.google.com and saw an article titles “Of Cowboys and Bombs” by Dr. Khaled M. Batarfi Published on 23 March 2003. The title intrigued me because me and a coworker usually refer to our president as “Cowboy George”. I think the aticle is well worth reading. Its more of [...]
