This post reminds me of a famous scene from the Movie "The Core":
Nerdy Scientist: The core of the earth has stopped spinning, and we can't restart it.
General: But what if we can?
Dear Matthew,
You epitomize all that is good and clean and pure about mankind. You are the greatest. You are my kind of guy. You are my big buddy. You are the best man I ever liked. You are crazy like a roe lizard. Your gangsta rap music will take me on a joy ride.

I have to disagree with the idea that ebooks won't replace paper books any time soon. I use my GBAsp as an e-book reader and prefer it over real books for novel reading(textbook reading I'd still prefer having a hardback). It's small enough that I can put it in my pocket and still have room for other stuff, it has its own light so I can read pretty much anytime anywhere, my flashcart has plenty of space so I can carry around many books of any size, it's easier to hold than a book, it never loses my place, and if I get bored of reading I can play some River City Ransom.
As a Libertarian I probably fall under the broad generalization of "right oriented". Reason Magazine's Hit & Run is the the only one I read regularly. Another good libertarian blog-ish type site is Harrybrowne.org, the site of the LP's 2000 Presidential candidate. His postings are more essay style and lack a comment feature, so I don't think he gets awarded the blog buzzword. And to help further my vast Libertarian agenda, read this, this, and this(my favorite Harry Browne essays).
I tried Firefox and it seemed to render about 50% so that they required horizontal scrolling(this may have something to do with the fact that I make all pages render in my colors, my fonts, and my font sizes), which was very annoying. If they fixed that and made it easier to choose colors(what kind of program doesnt have a color choosing dialog?) I might actually consider using it.
Is it just me, or does that page not mention what server/network the channel is on.

I like how the new recycling bin icon looks like a shot glass.

I'm afraid that MW is behind the times for a few of these, plethora was brought into the public eye in the 1986 Comedy
