Loud keyboards are so your boss can hear you working. It's very reassuring for them.

I know it's something pretty sad & serious, but a headline like Three More Die in Cartoon Protests seems like a caption in search of a home.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

See, I wouldn't mind the noise if it felt more solid, but this is loud because the keys rattle. Especially the space bar.

Oh, that sucks. Maybe you can stuff cotton under the keys?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was thinking I'd just ask for my old keyboard back. And my old mouse, which was also better.

I think that when someone reaches adulthood, there should be this ritual where the person is lead into a giant warehouse filled with various mice and keyboards. After what can be many hours, the person picks out a keyboard and mouse, which will be this person's personal keyboard and mouse for the rest of their life.

Followed by a party, with cake and relatives crying, "He/She's all grown up now..."

And by "chapel," I assume you mean "Apple Store"?

Fortunately, the disgraceful hypocrites who make up the Bush administration don’t win every battle:

A Young Bush Appointee Resigns His Post at NASA

By ANDREW C. REVKIN

THE NEW YORK TIMES

George C. Deutsch, the young presidential appointee at NASA who told public affairs workers to limit reporters' access to a top climate scientist and told a Web designer to add the word "theory" at every mention of the Big Bang, resigned yesterday, agency officials said.

Mr. Deutsch's resignation came on the same day that officials at Texas A&M University confirmed that he did not graduate from there, as his résumé on file at the agency asserted.

The resignation came as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was preparing to review its policies for communicating science to the public. The review was ordered Friday by Michael D. Griffin, the NASA administrator, after a week in which many agency scientists and midlevel public affairs officials described to The New York Times instances in which they said political pressure was applied to limit or flavor discussions of topics uncomfortable to the Bush administration, particularly global warming.
