Godaddy supports SOPA. Get a discount now by DITCHING THEM.

If you haven't heard, the ethically questionable web host known as GoDaddy is supporting SOPA. In addition to their terrible customer service and elephant-killing CEO, GoDaddy is backing the bill that wants to cripple your internet as if it's some sort of moral obligation. That means you can't expect GoDaddy to have your back if SOPA passes. They'll just shut you down for a potential violation. (Although apparently they're already doing that.) If you didn't get around to ditching them already, there's no time like the present.

Too bad there were no naked children in the video. Per usual, he took a plea deal for a reduced charge. People need to fight these ridiculous charges!

Last month, Erica Goldson graduated as valedictorian of Coxsackie-Athens High School. Instead of using her graduation speech to celebrate the triumph of her victory, the school, and the teachers that made it happen, she channeled her inner Ivan Illich and de-constructed the logic of a valedictorian and the whole educational system.

Nobody wants to talk about war anymore

slimey — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 03:24:56 +0000

Something that crosses my mind a lot is how little anti-war and pro-war talk there is. I mean, even though I am only a quarter century old, I remember times seeing news of large protests against the war and people actually debating the purpose and the pros and cons to it choosing sides.
