Quickies

Stephen Colbert's bit at the White House Correspondent's Dinner is getting all of the political buzz today. Editor and Publisher has a write up. Crooks and Liars offers WMP and QT files (warning - big files). Boing Boing points to a high quality BitTorrent. Enjoy!

What is it with South Carolina? First, some nut proposes a ban on sex toys and now the same nut has proposed shipping drug offenders and pedophiles to prisons in foreign countries.

Gasoline prices may not have peaked. According to the Guardian, prices may hit $100 a barrel. Using their price per liter and converting it, that may result in U.S. prices reaching about $7 a gallon. Even Hastert and crew might forgo leaving their SUVs idling when that happens. (Who am I kidding - the wealthy corrupt politicians don't care? Besides it demonstrates allegiance to their oil masters).

I understand your feelings about pedophiles. Unfortunately, though, shipping them away is not a good solution. They are our citizens and we have to afford them the rights of our country - just as we do murderers and (adult) rapists. They are a tough problem to deal with, though.

We agree on the issues of sex toys and drugs. Our attitudes on these issues drive me bat shit crazy.
