From The Federalist:
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice." -- Albert Einstein

# Jeff Danziger - Help is on the way! - cartoon commentary on the effect CAFTA would have on U.S. workers. Hehe.

# shevek at The Claire Files - Trespass - incredible definitions of Trespass, Happiness, Security, Color of law, Vice, Crime, and Accident in the light of whether voting is OK. I saved a copy here, with shevek's permission. [clairefiles]

# John C. Krull at Gun Week - DPMS Not Your Ordinary .308 - Mr. Krull tests a DMPS AR-style .308 with a Trijicon ACOG scope. [gunweek]

# Peter Graves - Armed Bear Common Lisp "is an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp that runs in a Java virtual machine. It provides a runtime system, a compiler that compiles Lisp source to JVM bytecode, and an interactive REPL [read-eval-print loop] for program development." It's currently available as source only. The build requires a supported Common Lisp implementation (SBCL, CMUCL, Allegro, LispWorks, or CLISP). Javalobby discussion here. [javalobby]

The right of the people to keep and arm bears shall not be infringed!

# Google Earth "puts a planet's worth of imagery and other geographic information right on your desktop. View exotic locales like Maui and Paris as well as points of interest such as local restaurants, hospitals, schools, and more." It's free, or pay $20/year for Google Earth Plus or $400/year for Google Earth Pro. I've been using it since Google first bought Keyhole's technology. Very kule. Windoze only. [beck]
