RR or RC?

It's time to link to this excellent post again.

Something to keep in mind as electioneering crapola gets hip deep.

And I commented further at the time.

Ach du lieber!

Try buying steaks for grilling in a desert country: it's fuck-off expensive.

Time to get off my duff

I've been slacking long enough. Took a practice exam for the EC Council Certified Ethical Hacker yesterday. I bought the book a while back, but hadn't cracked it until last night. I made a 42% on the practice test, so that's a decent baseline to start from. So I went to schedule the exam to give myself a timeline to work on, but I have to coordinate some experience verification with my employer and the organization before I can get the voucher code allowing me to schedule through the website.

Fun.

Here's one that my friends over at Bobvis may find interesting.

Kak! Spit! McCain '08? (Gag!)

Really, Senator McCain...

Saw you on CNN today. One US Flag in the background wasn't enough? Does having 3 of them really make you think we'll like you any better?

I've seen through various sources you've forgone government matching funds for your campaign. That wonderful piece of shit legislation biting you in the ass?

Envy me, O you pagans!

I think I like this guy. He's going on the sidebar under NW Neighbors.

The Lawdog tells it like it is

the Taser C2 runs about 350 US dollars. One shot, fifteen-foot range, $350. And each single reload is about $25.

Let me take off the shoes here ... 350 dollars for the unit, plus 25 dollars per shot ...

Ye tapdancing Buddha.

For that amount of money you can get a decent used pistol in .38 or 9mm and have multiple shots -- plus I can get Winchester white box at about 20 shots for 15 bucks.

Meh.

There's more...
