    Gee, Senator Leahy, F-U!

    Our esteemed Veep in charge of war profiteering and feathering the nest of his “former” firm Halliburton/KBR had this to say on the floor of the Senate: either “Fuck off,” “go fuck yourself,” or “fuck you.” Yes, that is Vice-President of the United States of America and President Pro Tem of the Senate Richard “Biggus Dickus” Cheney, in a heated and “frank” exchange” with Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont. There’s your goddamn family values for you. As there is some confusion as to the precise wording, we’ll all have to wait until the official Senate transcript is released. Right.

    Shiny Firefly: Serenity Blog

    Ooh! Look at the pretties! This blog operates as kind of a digest of castmembers’ posts from something called the “original board” and also from the Fireflymovie.com fan site. It points to yet ANOTHER blog that is hosted on the official SerenityMovie site. It’s a mite confusing keeping all the kinblogs and message boards straight but if you’re a fan of Joss Whedon’s short-lived Firefly television series (and soon-to-be Big Damn Movie coming to a theater near you), you’ll have to read it all. I don’t know who’s doing it, but I hope they got permission for all the reposts……

The weirdest part: he actually admitted in court (in a murder trial, no less) that he had a penis pump under the bench, but claimed it was a gag gift. Gag? it’s positively gag-alicious.

    Orrin Hatch: STFU

    BoingBoing notes: Earnest Miller savages savages Orrin Hatch’s grotesque new law. Such beliefs seem common among distributors of so-called peer-to-peer filesharing (“P2P”) software. [“So-called,” indeed. Hatch isn’t about define what P2P software is because it would end up including things like e-mail, IM, VoIP, HTTP and plenty of other internet protocols. P2P is how much of the internet works.] “So-called” indeed. That’s Orrin’s way of saying “I dont want to acknowledge an entity I find morally distasteful, so I’ll put it in quote marks so you know that it’s evullll and I disapprove.” Ugh, I hate that guy. Moralizing little…
