My Dual G5 Mac PowerPC, which I purchased back in the earliest days of this site, passed away peacefully after a long illness on Sunday morning, surrounded by friends and loved ones. It was 10.

Because Obama!
When your war strategy — which seems entirely constructed to make you look like Vladimir Putin’s bitch, and to make John Kerry look more confused and out of his depth than normal — along with the lockstep “progressives” (and John McCain) who support it (this after years of anti-war leftists building paper mache Bush puppets and demanding proof of WMD stockpiles), are being parodied by Chicago’s own Second City, you

At what point in time did it become necessary to tell teachers to wear underwear? [Darleen Click]
Did Little Rock experience a rash of Sharon Stone wannabes? The school district in Little Rock, Ark. has announced plans for a dress code that will require teachers to wear underwear.
