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.

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.

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.
