A great synopisis from Instapundit:
WHERE’S FEMA? Nearly 1M without power 5 days after ice storm. “Local officials grew angrier at what they said ...

No kidding. Click on the link to read how they pulled it off. Al Gore & Co. ought to be brought up on charges, but I'd settle for scorn, derision, and vilification every time his name is mentioned. Itn't it time that the sane among us refused to do business ...

Our congress-critter donkeys minus 11 have passed the "stimulus package". Or as our "historic President" (who has done nothing) prefers "recovery package".The dominant talkster, Gas Windbag, coined a term we shall adopt for this giant boondoggle. "Porkulus Package".

The folks at the Free Software Foundation are worried. "ACTA" is some little-known agreement that will regulate counterfeiting. Does this extend to free software?
