What can you say to this other than WTF!?  Highlights include the fairy princess whose butt says “No peace, no pussy” and the donkey-headed hippy.  I have a soft spot for the manically dancing elasto-hipster wanna-bes (we are talking bloggers who designed an animtaed Internet protest here) carrying their cute, illegible cyber-signs. What can I say? I’m a benevolent nurturer and when I see something truly pathetic I just want to give it a great big hug.

Holy crap! I may be a lefty, but I’m not stupid. I’m sure your Internets tubes cartoon has totally got the GOP’s attention, Princess Donkey Lover. Although the song’s kinda cool.

Guess what? Some blogs have stumbled across an amazing fact! John McCain is just as much a lying douchebag pandering to his audience as any other politician. I am totally overwhelmed with shock.

From the New York Times, a headline I never would have imagined seeing a few years ago.

Maher Arar, the Canadian software engineer who was detained by American officials in 2002 and deported to Syria, where he was kept captive for nearly a year and regularly tortured, will receive more than 10.5 million Canadian dollars ($8.9 million) in compensation from the Canadian government, under a settlement announced today.
