I'm done with election day commentary. Mostly.

In its place, please try to imagine what kind of company or school would order "1 (one) man in a skintight silver bodyglove carrying a goddamned surfboard" for their event.

Please also note that the Hulk appears to have Downs' Syndrome and that Captain America isn't even vaguely "beefy."

I'm going to try to continue my trend of good news and hope.

The eccentric genius who invented the e-book, Michael Hart, lives here in Urbana, Illinois, and is a good friend of mine.

He started http://www.gutenberg.net (over 13,000 e-books, all free)

The official opening of the next stage is tomorrow.

The Project Gutenberg Consortia Center, distributing over 27,000 html e-books.

Go, better yourself, and tell a friend. Hell, tell a dozen.

REPOST FROM MONTHS AGO

Appropriate, and worth repeating:

"A Toast To Assholes!


As I lift this cup of gin,
To those who will not see their sin,
A toast to all the thick and dim,
Whose cream was taken, left with skim,
I pray they know, as I raise this glass,
In time they'll get it in the ass.

*CLINK*
