Government Lite.

The Pentagon censored some footage in a training videotape that was intended to teach government employees how to respond to citizens' requests for information.

Parts of the training video, The People's Right to Know, were blacked out and replaced with the message, "copyrighted material removed for public viewing."

The department released the tape but did acknowledge the irony of censoring a video promoting government openness.

Some Good Insults

Please, be happy and use these insults whenever necessary. And I'd like to add one insult to this list. It goes out to all the dead fucking terrorists and those who may still be alive somewhere and thinking of future terrorist attacks anywhere: FUCK YOU, COWARD BASTARD! STICK IT!

The Murder of Carlo Giuliani

To stay on the subject of mr. gomez's last entry, I'd like to blog this tragedy. Was he looking for trouble? Did he deserve such a death? You decide. I didn't know much about the situation in Genoa until i came across this. It drove me to read a few articles and, although I am not an expert, I still feel fucking horrible about what took place during the G8 protests. View photos only after lunch.

Dang of the Day

just when i thought the net was losing its flare. once again proving the human mind is as small as a pooh nugget from a emaciated ninety year old with nothing but Early Times in his lunchbox. This Dang goes out to all of you lovers who lack one thing:Jack Tripper's smooth pick up tactics.

Independents Day: Celebrating the Independent Web

INDEPENDENTS DAY is a worldwide event celebrating independent content and design on the web. It's supported by an informal network of designers, artists, writers, editors, developers, and producers who create content primarily to enrich the web rather than their bank accounts.

Interesting.
