For Linux fans

I liked this one:

It's the internet. Of course this is on it.

Two-thirds of the internet is pornography.

Another two thirds is devoted to science fiction TV shows or movies (mostly Star Wars).

Which means, of course, that at least one-third of all internet traffic involves both of those things. Mostly this takes the form of really bad "slash" fanfic or newsgroup threads devoted to Sinclair's duck. However, every once in a while, somebody with an overabundance of imagination, not to mention free time, makes something like The Scout Walker Kama Sutra.

Just thought I'd mention it...

I just send the following letter to the Oregonian and to the Eugene Register-Guard. Think there's any chance it'll get printed?

Design your own hell

Education, Texas style

Your state ranks dead last in education. You finally get the Democrats back into the capital so you can have a quorum to get some laws passed. What's the first thing you do? Vote for reforms leading to higher standards and better education, with more money for schools instead of inane tax cuts for the richest residents of your state?

Hell no! Forget that reading and writing and shit! Pass a law requiring all students to take time out of the day, after a mandatory "moment of silence" to recite a new pledge to the flag! A pledge which, as we've come to expect from Texas, doesn't even make any sense:

""Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible."
