    • Links for October 16th from 06:40 to 16:05 Sometime between 06:40 and 16:05, I thought this stuff was interesting. You might think so too! ➡
    • Single-Image Debate Wrapup Given that you couldn't pay me to vote for McCain, and that I thought he came across as a condescending ass for the majority of the debate last night, I can't entirely claim that images like this don't give me a good, _very_ partisian laugh. ➡

    • Wal-Mart Sics Secret Service on Student Need _another_ reason to stay far, far away from Wal-Mart? Or maybe another reason to be disgusted with the culture of fear and repression of political dissent in the country? Be glad you're not this high school student. ➡

    • The Presidential Horror Show No, it's not the best piece of political humor I've seen, but the Rocky Horror fan in me just can't help but be at least a little amused by The Presidential Horror Show. ➡
    • Government Benefits Interesting — according to this questionnaire, I am or may be eligible for the following government programs. ➡
    • Jon Stewart on Crossfire I was going to put up a lot of links to discussion about Jon Stewart's recent appearance on Crossfire — but then Safari crashed (it's rare, but not unheard of) and I lost all the tabs I had open. ➡
  • 2003
    • Sources said… News of Bush's order leaked almost immediately. ➡
    • iTunes and iTMS for Windows Well, the rumors were true — and then some! Here's some quick highlights of today's Apple Event. ➡
    • That Guy Bad enough that the guy might have to wonder whether the ball would have been caught if he hadn't reached for it -- but now he has to worry about his privacy and, quite possibly, personal safety. The handling of the event by the media and various websites has been absolutely horrible. ➡
    • Public / Private / Secret Danny O'Brien ended up touching on a subject that I found fascinating: the difference between our 'real world' conversations and the conversations we have through our websites, and some of the key differences between them. ➡

    • Thirteen Days In one of the historical background pieces, there were some 'man on the street' interviews with people at the time this all was going on -- and just about anything that they said could easily have been said at any point within the past month. ➡
    • I’m still alive Funny thing about running the copyroom at a financial firm -- October 15th is the deadline for the six-month extention from April 15th. Made things pretty crazy around here. ➡
