Contrary to popular belief, this isn’t *entirely* Dell’s fault.
It’s that bastard Sony again. As if the rootkit wasn’t enough, now they have to make exploding batteries to maim people.
Yep. Coolest Picture Ever. 
McSweeney’s Internet Tendency: The Recording Industry Will Destroy You.
THE RECORDING
INDUSTRY WILL
DESTROY YOU.
BY BRENDON LLOYD- - - -
ATTENTION! IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 12, HAVE A PARENT READ THIS TO YOU.- - - -
The Recording Industry Association of America has enriched your life through music since you were a baby. But now you betray us? We will destroy you. This is your notice that you will be sued for one of the following:
1. Downloading a song from the Internet.
2. Singing the “Happy Birthday” song.
3. Other.
4. None of the above.
If you would prefer not to be stripped of your home and dignity, please send us $3,750 in the return envelope. If your toddler has been named in this lawsuit, explain to them that the fruits of their labor as an adult will go to pay a debt that will ultimately lead to their death at a young age due to their inability to afford medical insurance. Toddlers never understand that, but they’ll get the point if you make them cry. If your household pet has been named in this lawsuit, it will be euthanized. If you are a 13-year-old girl, do not expect that the bad publicity in the past has made us hesitant to sue little girls—it has only made us hate you even more. If you, your household pet, or your toddler did not commit any of the acts above, then we will sue you and ruin your life forever for lying. Then we will sue you again, because it’s not about the money anymore. It’s about revenge.
BlueOregon: Democrats and the 2nd Amendment
By Zak Johnson of Portland, Oregon. Zak is one of the co-founders of the Gun Owners Caucus of the Democratic Party of Oregon.
When asked why Al Gore didn’t become president in January of 2001, most Democrats refer to the theft of Florida. Point taken. But Al Gore’s campaign spokesman, Doug Hattaway, mentions another state–Tennessee. And the reason, says Hattaway, that Gore lost his home state of Tennessee–along with the rest of the South and the Intermountain West–was because of the gun issue.
As Democrats, we OWN the civil rights issue. The Bush administration daily violates the 1st, 4th, and 5th amendments (unless you consider confessions under torture not to be self-incrimination). Tom Delay’s cronies continue to violate the 13th amendment in the U.S. Mariannas. It has never been clearer that the Democratic Party is the nation’s primary defender of the Constitution. This is an unequivocal, easy-to-understand position that resonates with voters. It’s a uniting position as well, one that should attract patriots to the Democratic banner.
