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

This is borderline NSFW. Maybe actually NSFW. Despite consisting wholly of footage from Fox News.

Fox News Porn is a collection of raunchy outtakes from the Fox "News" Network, where hypocritical prigs like Bill O'Reilly revel in prurience while condemning it. This condemnation is largely indistinguishable from a celebration -- as when Sean Hannity visits a brothel and asks snotty, explicit questions of the workers there while his camera lovingly pans across their bare flesh.

The site is the creation of filmmaker Robert Greenwald, whose documentary Outfoxed is a masterful takedown of the Murdoch empire. Fox News Porn created a brief but spectacular net-storm when an overzealous moderator for Digg took the site off the Digg front page and threatened to suspend Greenwald's account for violating Digg's Terms of Service. However, a day later, Digg management reversed the decision. In founder Kevin Rose's words, "Our fault. Digg on."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am also up at ass o'clock. Certainly far too early for a non-work morning.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I know WHY I'm up (and now in class, slacking), but I don't know what your excuse could possibly be. Go back to bed for me, K?

I'm watching QI. And I'll have a nap later.

According to Stephen Fry, the first Native American that the Pilgrims met when they landed in 1620-whatever spoke fluent English, having crossed the Atlantic six times. He asked them for beer.

The first words actually spoken from the surface of the moon were not uttered by Neil Armstrong, but by Buzz Aldrin, who was piloting the landing craft.

The first words actually spoken from the surface of the moon were not uttered by Neil Armstrong, but by Buzz Aldrin, who was piloting the landing craft.

I think those words were, "Contact light. OK, engine stop." ("Contact light" meant the long probes that stuck out below the landing gear had touched the surface of the moon.)

Buzz Aldrin was also the first to relieve himself on the moon.

eta: Actually. Armstrong was piloting the Lunar Lander. Aldrin was assisting by reading out data from the computer and instruments.

"Deutchland, Deutchland uber alles" are no longer the first words of the German national anthem.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What are they now? "We're really sorry"?

Heh. That crossed my mind.

Sorry about that
Won't happen again....
