Normally I use Orbitz only because they use Lisp. That's a really stupid reason to use a travel service, especially with all their pop up ads, but hey, there aren't any travel services who's software is written in Haskell yet. Unfortunately, they've gone way too far now.
Of course, for some folks, they went too far a couple months ago when they tried extending their market reach by 10%. The idea of all those fundies protesting the system by signing up for their $100 coupon and consequently getting their names added to hundreds of gay-centric direct marketing campaigns and mailing lists is more than a hoot. It's a hootie-hoot.

I apologize for my half-assed image manipulation on the little joke in the extended section. Hopefully I won't offend any Audre Lorde fans too much. It's all in good clean Republican-bashing fun.

For the second time since getting the Insight, I've been right next to another one on the road.
This time it was leaving my apartment building this morning - turns out another insight driver works in the office building next door. Hurray !

From today's WP, not from one or two years ago:
Women caught talking with men on the streets of Herat, a major city in western Afghanistan, risk being seized by special morals police, taken to a hospital and forced to undergo an exam to determine if they have had sex.

Yesterday I received an offer from Honda for free tickets to an upcoming auto show in DC. The letter is actually an ad for two new hondamobiles which, seeing I just bought a new car less than six months ago, I am not in the market for. But that's probably not enough to keep me from scarfing up the free ticket to go check out the upcoming hybrid/alternatives. Maybe there will even be some 100 cupholder concept cars there.
But what really puts my mind at ease, in this age of total information awareness is that Honda apparently thinks I'm female - the letter was addressed to "Dear Ms Jude". Bozos

Pet potbellied pig painting at the public libary.
Apparently there are multiple painting pigs. There's also Pigstachio from Pigtasia: that magical wonderland made just for Pigs.
And then there is painting pigs.
“If it was a real pig we wouldn’t be having so much fun,” said aspiring artist Todd Greenberg, a nine-year old student from Florida, who tells of his last painting project painting his hair green at camp. “But if he was real we could ride him to Gameworks and play all day long!”
