As anyone knows, the RIAA and MPAA, in their efforts to control how we get our media entertainment, have been trying to impliment a DRM tactic known as the infamous Broadcast Flag. With it, they control how you watch your movies, TV shows, and listen to music (with a seperate DRM tactic, really).Well, they're trying to take the PR blitz to their customers, and are employing a "Hey, Look Over Here

Fark had a bit of a trend over the last 36 hours, posting a bunch of Top Lists (mostly 10s). If it's chic to do it on Fark, we might as well filter them out of the queue for all of you. As always, the Fark users have inserted their own tops, so besure to check out the threads...First up, the Top 10 "Most Beautiful Cars" (Link -- Thread)Then comes it's worthy successor, the Top 9 "Ugliest Cars"

Sorry about that. The week surrounding 9/11 has always been busy for me for the last five years, given my history with the fire service. That and other concerns arose during the entire week, and they had to be dealt with muy pronto.But, I promise, that's all the silence you'll hear from me for quite a while.

In the continuing war on its customers, the RIAA is demanding a woman turn over her hard drive so they can examine it and determine whether or not she was downloading their crap illegally. Here's the trick: The woman is telling the RIAA where to get off the bus, and has petitioned the court to allow a non-biased, third-party computer forensics firm to do just that, since she's adamant about

The AT&T Store hack, which we reported on earlier this week, was only the opening salvo in what appears to be a much larger phishing operation. While the order data they stole didn't contain the customers' SSNs and birthdates, they sent out e-mails, complete with legitimate order and credit card numbers, going after what they didn't get from the initial hack. Scary. Glad I'm not an AT&T Customer

Chuck Norris, star of countless kick flicks as well as "Walker, Texas Ranger," has thrown his support behind public schools teaching the Bible as an elective study course. Um, OK, Chuck. The course teaches more along the lines of the Bible's impact on world history, rather than it's assumed status as a historical document. I suppose that's OK, as long as they don't go teaching it as cold hard

BP contributor and all-around awesome guy Corporal Kickyourass has, in fact, done it again! This time, he actually sacrificed both his precious time and (most likely) several IQ points to watch the Teen Choice Awards, just so he could witness the appaling performance by Mr. Britney Spears himself.

So anyway, Sen.

Just like she does, as we all know from that nasty little video of hers. Turns out the queen skank can't really sing, either. Her album sold 75,000 copies in it's first week, and is projected to do 30,000 in it's second. They compare it to Christina Aguilera -who actually can sing and looks way hotter with her new look - who sold nearly five times as many copies of her new album. What's worse,

And this doesn't even have anything to do with Bush's bullshit initiative. No, school districts themselves are screwing over kids and teachers alike, all in the name of saving a few bucks. In Michigan, teachers in 227 schools are hitting the pickets, then being jerked around with regards to prompt negotiations.

George W. Bush is loved by Canadians far and wide. In fact, he is probably our favourite US President. You may be shocked at this statement, but, let me explain.

Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) has grown some balls, apparently. He's proposing legislation that would curb the scope of the already-illegal NSA Domestic Spying program initiated by President Fucktard after 9/11. He wants to bring it under the jurisdiction of the FISA Court. The Fucktard Administration, however, wants things the other way, with no court approval. I can't believe I'm saying this,

Dubya and DPW have offered to delay the DPW takeover of the UK company currently managing major US Port facilities in order to assure Congress that there are no threats to National Security by letting a state-owned company from a nation that produced two 9/11 hijackers (and who's Royal Family has/had direct ties to Osama bin Laden) take control of major gateways into the US.

When Hurricane Katrina slammed into NOLA, each and every level of Government - from Mayor Nagin to Governor Blanco all the way up to the White House - failed. Miserably.

I'm sure you're all sick and tired of my political rantings, ravings and postings this week, so here's a little something outside the realm of politics for you: Wil Wheaton at the World Poker Tour Invitational! (pic courtesy of Pauly)When the smoke cleared, Wil busted out in 21st place, and won the Celebrity Last Longer challange, netting 10K for his chosen charity, City of Hope. Congrats to Wil!

I think I've incited a bit of a jihad, but we won't know for sure until I check my email when I get home from the doctor. At any rate, one of those "Focus On Family" organizations, the so-called American Decency Association, is calling for a boycott of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue (hubba-hubba) and all of the advertisers found within. Bet you can't guess what word they use to describe it

Claudia Rosett, the author of this article for The Weekly Standard, is calling it Cash-for-Kofi, and what sucks is, she's right. Kofi Annan, the United Nations Secretary-General, accepted an Environmental award in Dubai recently. And wouldn't you know it, that award came with a cool $500,000 in cash. No sweat, right? Wrong. Gotta remember that this is the same guy who let Saddam bribe his way out

OK, so I'm kinda ripping off Cory Doctorw's idea of rounding up news and posts of a particular story. Oh well, I'm sure he won't mind when he finds that I'm on his side in most issues, so here we go.

Ready to be amazed? Well, you shouldn't be, given the Bush Administration's track record when it comes to dealings like this. The US Government has made concessions to the UAE company Dubai Ports World, giving them special consideration (for what reason, I don't know) and waiving requirements routinely imposed on any other foreign company doing business in the US. DPW won't have to keep records

Well, its official. The entire world is laughing at how ridiculously stupid George W. Bush really is. Think about it. He invades Iraq, resulting in the deaths of thousands of innocent people - Iraqi and American - all to "keep America safe". Then, he pushes through a deal that gives the Arabs pretty much complete control of shipping activity in 6 US cities. Oh, and isn't part of that US

Casey Lee Cobb from Open Your Mind's Eye (a fellow Impeach Bush Coalition member blog and site we've proudly linked to in the past) sent me an email this afternoon concerning a video montage he's created, calling attention to the Dubai Ports World/Bush Administration problem currently making the rounds in the news.

In more ways than one, apparently. Cheney's weekend hunting accident, which resulted in the "accidental" shooting of a lawyer/campaign contributor and an investigation delayed over 24 hours, takes a turn for the obvious. Cheney admitted to having "one beer" that morning. Apparently, he didn't take into account that "impairment begins with the first drink," and the fact that he's on blood thinners

This hottie right here is Casey Hicks, and this is her mugshot, taken in 2002 following her arrest for selling Ecstasy to an undercover cop. Somehow, she plea bargained down to the point where she was sentenced to probation, which she is finishing up in Florida.

It's taken almost 10 years, but the asshat photographers who took some of the final pictures of Princess Diana and her companion, Dodi Al Fayed, as they left the Ritz Hotel in Paris and after their accident in the Alma underpass.

Unless you've been living under a rock or totally buy into Republican Rhetoric as if it were the gosh-honest truth, then you know that there is an underlying problem with the sale of a British Port company to the Dubai Ports World, an Arab port company owned completely by the Royal Family of the United Arab Emerates (UAE). The problem? The company they're buying controls some port operations in

Now that Bush has his conservative cronies sitting on the Supreme Court, Abortion has come up on the caseload once again. While it's not a decision to overturn Roe v.

It's the 5th anniversary of the death of Dale Earnhardt, Sr. Why haven't people been able to just accept this fact? Even Kurt Cobain's little freak fans have shut up in recent years since his death in 1994, although "Alternative" radio still plays their crap way too much.

Who knew, right? Alright, flash back to Hurricane Katrina. In the nightmarish aftermath (that some say was a bigger disaster than the storm itself), when Government response on all levels failed miserably, the public stepped up to the plate.

I'll let the quote from BoingBoing take ya home on this one.Harry Whittington was shot at close range, between 15 and 18 feet, not the 90 claimed by Dick Cheney and the Secret Service.

One of the limitations of Fark's front page is that headlines have to be somewhat truncated and to the point.

If I hear one more goddamn thing about the cartoons depicting the holy whatshisface I swear to you all, I am going to Jihad all over the place.It was a cartoon. Get over it! Did any of you stop to think that I happen worship Batman? Yes! Batman! And you insensitive bastards kept putting him in shitty cartoons, and vomit inducing movies, starring the likes of George Clooney and Val Kilmer.I'm

Well, isn't this interesting. It would seem that some 450 churches are celebrating the birth of one Charles Darwin (by the way, today is the 197th anniversary of his birthday). Interesting, isn't it. It would appear that Christianity has no problem with Darwin's theory of bilogical evolution, and that people shouldn't have to choose between faith and science at all. Now there's some clear

Those gun-crazy Republicans are at it again. Granted, this was a total, 100% accident. Cheney most likely didn't do anything truely stupid that resulted in this guy getting shot. But come on. Guys like this running a war? Playing with human lives? Come on! Why isn't Cheney over in Iraq with his little shotgun right now? How about Georgie? Nope, they're out on the ranch, huntin' and-a fishin' and

Rock on! The word is out that Marilyn Manson is making a film that will show a darker side to Lewis Carroll, famed author of the acid trip in children's story clothing that was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through The Looking Glass, et al. It's a story only a guy like Manson could tell, really, though I think Johnny Depp would take to the part a little better. But hey, I'll give the shock

Oops. Remember the whole Whitewater affair? Where the Clinton's got in some serious doo-doo over their land dealings? Remember Ken Starr, the Republican lapdog who was hired as an "Independent" counsel? Well, looks like he goofed. While defending a death row inmate, it would appear that he sent six forged letters from the jury to The Governator of Caa-lee-for-nee-aah. They were hoping Ahhhhnold

How's this for sweet: It seems that scientists have come to the conclusion that traveling close to the speed of light is, in fact, possible, and could be ready by the end of this century (which sucks, because I'll be dead then)! Rock on! It would seem that they've solved Einstein's Gravitational Field Equation, and that by the year 2100, we could be zooming around the cosmos. Star Trek, here we

This... This is just too silly. We all know how Disney loves to over-do the movie-tie-in merch they schlep onto kids. Well, this is no different, but I think Cap'n Crunch might be given a run for his money, especially with the cereal-eating girl population. Yes, screen heartthrob Johnny Depp will be coming to a breakfast table near you, as the star of the box front for Pirates of the Caribbean...

The Blogosphere is about to become polluted with political rhetoric. Not that it already isn't (as this blog will attest to), but this is incredibly crappy stuff indeed. The Republican Party plans to use blogs to get the message out that Democrats are "weak" and "unable to defend America." Well, I'll have you know that the Republican Party hasn't done much better protecting America: We're still

The Catholic Church is experiencing some turbulance (again), and this time, it's over supposed "miracles" like a statue of the Virgin *snicker* Mary that's supposedly crying blood. Another plaster statue was said to have turned a pinkish, fleshy color and moved. Jesus on a grilled cheese, Mary in a salt deposit on an overpass... When will people quit this nonsense? At any rate, this could totally

It's an award usually reserved for actual journalists. But Michael Crichton (author of Jurassic Park, Congo, Sphere, The Andromeda Strain, et al) is an exception. When he writes a book, he completely throws himself into the subject matter, investigating every possible nuance of it until he has a firm grasp. This is why so many of his novels are so engaging. It's nice to see such a talented author

One of the nice things about being a blogger is the fact that we've managed to create this sort of community: a network of folks who tend to help each other out, even if it is in the most insignificant ways possible. Today, BP has one such oppertunity, and I think it's for a wonderful cause.Bone Marrow Transplants. Tricky stuff, because there are about 20,000 types of bone marrow in people.

Think Republicans want to fix our nation's problems? Nope. They're too interested in this kind of crap. Here's a "Top 10" list of things Republicans think Congress should make their top priorities.

Take a look at that right there. This is a proposed $380M (that's all?!?) skyscraper that will transform the Louisville, KY skyline and take architecture and building design to the next logical level.Sad that such a forward thinking building has to be in a state infamous for it's backward thinking traditionalists.Remember SimCity2000?

Straight out of Toon Town, I guess, since that's the only place that this could happen at first glance. You'd look at the headline "Four die in Afghan cartoon riot," and the first thing that comes to mind is "Is John Kricfalusi at it again?" But no, that's not the case here. We've all heard about the political cartoons that satirize Islam's Prophet Muhammad. Somebody call the Waaaaaaahmbulance,

Well, if it isn't apparent with all the crap coming out of Hollywood these days, then these numbers should tell you what's going on in black and white: The system is failing. So-called "blockbusters" are costing more and more to make (suddenly Kevin Costner doesn't seem so insane), and people are just not going to see them, so they're not getting the returns they're used to.Some words of advice

Around here, late in life. Heh. But seriously, folks. A couple of researchers at Dartmouth aim to answer that very question. Do they? Lord knows. But it's still fun to try and find out. (Link -- via Slashdot)
