While I don't normally post charitable appeals, the amount of harm caused by a mere 7.0 earthquake in Haiti is disturbing enough that I will make an exception and encourage you to donate to Save the Children. |

We all know that scammers love to try to sell us sildenafil citrate. (your spamfilter knows it as V1agra) They'll do pretty much anything to try to sell it to us. Including, it seems, put it in fake weight loss What the hell is going on? Is this stuff some sort of mind control drug that these creeps get a bonus for infecting people with? |

New versions time! Science Girls! now has walk animations. (The underlying engine actually supported them from the beginning, but we didn't have suitable walking sprites. Now we do.) And the newest Bincache alpha now has the ability to open multiple simultaneous NNTP connections, which will drastically improve download times on lookup-bound servers. (Please, use this for good, not for evil, 'k?) |

The bunch of crooks at the National Republican Congressional Committee seem to have decided that a good fundraising strategy is to call everyone on the Republican voter rolls and drop 'should I renew you for two-fifty or one hundred?' into the middle of what sounds like a coked-out stream-of-consciousness ramble about tax cuts and taking back congress in the hopes that the mark is too stupid to realize that they never actually had an NRCC membership to renew. Is this their standard script or is one salesguy just desperate for his commissions? I did at least get in a good rant about the idiocy of cutting taxes without matching spending cuts, though, even if I doubt he actually _heard_ any of it.
On the other hand, the fundraisers for John Dennis (running in the primary for Pelosi's House seat) are pleasantly lacking in that aura of sleaze which is generally considered Good Salesmanship; and while I think his tax policy is improvident, he actually supports the Bill of Rights. He's got my primary endorsement unless someone comes up with evidence that he's secretly (or not-so-secretly) EEEEEVIL. For that matter, if he winds up running against Pelosi in the final election, he's still got my endorsement - Pelosi voted for retroactive telecoms impunity, despite making a pretense of opposing it in interviews.
