In Other News...

...some short commentary on recent headlines:

New iPods

Apple's released new iPods; they got rid of the 40G, changed the iPod Photo to 30G and 60G, and created a new 6G iPod mini, reducing the price of a 4G and extending the battery life considerably. Perhaps unfortunately for Ms. Maltz, they've dicontinued the gold iPod mini. She'll have to hope that some other color matches her moon boots.

HP returns my computer

Is it fixed!? Time will tell. What this really means: barring unforeseen circumstances, the much-vaunted WWPD redesign is no more than a week away!

Bush says he doesn't want to "kick gays"

...but he did it anyway. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the whole "flip flop" thing essentially about how Kerry had no principles and just wanted to win? Somone please explain to me how the Federal Marriage Amendment is different?

Bush calls out Russia on democracy

Hmm, a bit late for that one. Note to future presidents: undoing in your second term what you let happen in your first is NOT good policy. The Economist rightly observed long ago that the democracy ship had sailed...

Snow Flurries in Chicago!

SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! I love snow.
