Looks like plucky online retailer amazon.com (anyone heard of these guys before?) will offer DRM-free downloads of music from 12,000 record labels. Did you even know there were 12,000 record labels left in the world? I thought the big three had bought everyone out.

At any rate, it looks like our boycott worked! Nice job, everyone!

What wrong that needs righting will we unleash our terrible power onto next?

Well, that was quick. Nice work everybody!

We must remain vigilant! Now is not the time to become complacent!

The Onion has a list of the 15 Things Kurt Vonnegut Said Better Than Anyone Else Ever Has Or Will up at their avclub.com site.

The Only Real Difference between Bush and Hitler is not one of them, but it is mentioned parenthetically under item number 7:

Vonnegut (who often said “The only difference between Bush and Hitler is that Hitler was elected” [emphasis added]) was righteously skeptical about war, having famously survived the only one worth fighting in his lifetime. And it’s never been more true: Left or right, Christian or Muslim, those convinced they’re doing violence in service of a higher power and against an irretrievably inhuman enemy are the most dangerous creatures of all.

And, like, hell-oooooo peeples, the Real Reason Littleton Sucks is because all suburbs suck. Like, holy hell, Batman, at what point does redundancy equal prison and/or death, when gas hits $4.00/gallon?!? Shaaaa - get a clue already!

Oh man, we are so unpopular. How unpopular are we? Our most popular article as estimated by the number of internet strangers making comments is Littleton, CO Sucks. This page comes up as the 77th result if you search for the words “littleton,” “CO,” and “sucks” at google. We didn’t even crack the top 1000 at yahoo.

That is pretty weak, people, but it is the best we’ve got. I propose that set a goal for ourselves of being the number 1 search result at google when people search for “littleton,” “CO,” and “sucks” by the end of the year. We can do it people. It’s all about the attitude.

So the next time you post something here about whatever it is that got your panties in a bunch, make sure to add a second post about out least favorite suburb, Littleton, CO.

Make sure to use the Littleton, CO Sucks category.

Near-random selection from the article:

9. Dissent equals treason

Cast dissent as “treason” and criticism as “espionage’. Every closing society does this, just as it elaborates laws that increasingly criminalise certain kinds of speech and expand the definition of “spy” and “traitor”. When Bill Keller, the publisher of the New York Times, ran the Lichtblau/Risen stories, Bush called the Times’ leaking of classified information “disgraceful”, while Republicans in Congress called for Keller to be charged with treason, and rightwing commentators and news outlets kept up the “treason” drumbeat. Some commentators, as Conason noted, reminded readers smugly that one penalty for violating the Espionage Act is execution.

Here’s another picture of Undead Robot Hitler for ya:
