How come no one told me about the new 10GB iPod? The equalizer is nice and the address book makes it one step closer to an all-in-one palm type of thing.

The sun will become the anthem of your underground

So I pulled out my Saves The Day CD today and all of a sudden I want to drive to Vegas. I mean, I wanted to go to Vegas this weekend anyway, and it just so happens that Saves The Day was the official band of our car trip this past summer to San Diego. So hearing it makes me just want to get in the car and driiiive….

All hail the Prince of Darkness

The Rev. Richard Moore, pastor at the Yankeetown Church of God, told the mayor of his plan to help cleanse the town of its evils by installing four hollowed-out wooden posts at the four entrances to town. In the hollow of each post would be a prayer.

The mayor thought that was a good idea, but on Halloween night, as she sat alone at her kitchen table, she was moved by the spirit of God to banish Satan — by proclamation — and insert that banishment into the posts, into the very ground. She takes no credit for the words. God guided her hand, she said.

This is just stupid. What a waste of tax money. They may as well have banned bad weather too. (NYTimes login required)
