Your laptop (and tech stuff) can be seized at the border!

US Agents now have the power to seize your laptop and other electronics without suspicion and they can share your data with agencies and private companies for decryption. The policies cover hard drives, flash drives, cell phones, iPods, pagers, beepers, and video and audio tapes -- as well as books, pamphlets and other written materials, the report said. At the very least, the policy does protect business info and attorney-client privileged info and apparently they aren't allowed to retain a copy of your data once you've been reviewed.

Cop demands hot coffee

So it turns out there's this Chicago cop who feels entitled to free coffee at Starbucks just for showing up. She's a 14 year veteran of the force and the charges are over the last 5 years. She's also 55. So a little math suggests that she spent 20 years as a mall cop shoplifting from the mall food court before moving up to the big time.

And this is the police force who Mayor Daley wants to give assault rifles to. Oh boy.

Shia to lose a pinky???

I feel a little guilty for using my power to will pizzas into being to will Shia's pinky to fall off...

Just a rumor for now, I promise reasonably tasteful coverage if it turns out to be true, I would hate to lose a finger myself.

Fun Times at Coney Island

Waterboarding, the ride.

'nuff said.

News Jay REALLY Doesn't Want to Hear

I mean it, this time.

Apparently, they don't have spellcheck in the UK, though I have to admit that because of modern technology, my own spelling would be pretty bad.

Pandas are Fluffy

This video proves it. Just mute the thing to spare yourself some obnoxiousness.

The $1000 iPhone app that does nothing

Who wouldn't want to flaunt their wealth by adding the "I Am Rich" app to their brand new iPhone? Now for the low price of $999.99 you can improve your iPhone with this hot red gem display signifying your digital bling and general coolness. I'm guessing the target demographic is the same group of people that light their cigars with Benjamins and heat their rooms with sound. The funny thing is that some guy actually bought this thing by accident and is having trouble getting a refund.
BT Edit: Apple has pulled this item from the app store.

Where isn't the red?

Where is the Red is a popular sponsor in our google ads, so I decided to click the link to see what it was all about.

I nearly pissed myself laughing as I read it was about young excited republicans. I'm sorry, if you don't pay taxes you just have to be morally bankrupt to be a republican. Anyway, I then succeeded in pissing myself when I read their mission page.

My absolute favorite is their claim to be reaching out young people

"motivated to reassert Republican ideals of organic government and fiscal responsibility in the halls of Congress."

Yeah, those Republicans are MASTERS of fiscal responsibility, turning the largest budget surplus into the largest deficit even without the help of the Iraq war. Thanks for keeping such a close eye on things for us Bush and Cheney! Really looking out for America's pocketbook.

God... I am only a Democrat in election years because the Republicans are just so fucking hypocritical it makes me sick.
