Picking up on the Expelled Exposed meme…
According to Seth Finkelstein, I’m not a Googleterrorist:

Bill Gates on free software…sorta:

I hadn’t noticed (I avoid ‘em like the plague) — but apparently Starbucks has decided to return to its roots with it’s old topless, spread eagle mermaid logo. Boobies!

Mark Pligrim, translating Joel Spolsky’s truthiness…
Those documents are super confusing.
With a little truth of his own…
Hi, I’m Web Developer Barbie. Pull my string and I say, “Standards are tough! Let’s go shopping!”

Larry David on the “Sybillish personalities” Clinton’s broken out on the campaign trail.
