Stare at this picture for one minute without blinking. Now, quickly look at a white wall while you shoot yourself in the head for electing them.

Why would you want to do this? You can put an ad and link for your site there. You can put a “Sedition·sucks” there. It’s above the fold on the top page and it’s all yours until the next visitor comes along.
Why would we want to do this? 1) Free speech is fun. 2) Cross-pollination is fun. 3) A Web 2.0 résumé point is nice when poking the job market with a sharp stick.

A Raven, which you know is black as coal, was envious of the Swan, because her feathers were as white as the purest snow. The foolish bird got the idea that if he lived like the Swan, swimming and diving all day long and eating the weeds and plants that grow in the water, his feathers would turn white like the Swan’s.
So he left his home in the woods and fields and flew down to live on the lakes and in the marshes. But though he washed and washed all day long, almost drowning himself at it, his feathers remained as black as ever. And as the water weeds he ate did not agree with him, he got thinner and thinner, and at last he died.
Take that, subspace.

Re: An optical illusion
I know I'm getting a reputation as a heartless, persnickety quibbler, but people who shoot themselves in the head gain more style points if they get in the tub and draw the shower curtain closed first. It's far from silly! It's simple courtesy. While their little bit of the universe is over for good, the clean-up crew soldiers on. A neatly contained mess is less of a burden. I believe it was originally King Arthur who advised the knights of the round table on this. So there's precedent, too, an ennobling precedent, sort of -- although he was talking about chopping off heads, not shooting.

Don’t know why it took till now to think of this–
we just got new carpet, for christsakes
sure there’s things left to say
and a closet full of brooms,
sure theirs may go guilt
unanswered and cobwebs fill her womb,
but he could have at least killed
himself in the bathroom.

Nice. But it’s Pelosi. Though the joke remains in force.

Sorry, I was judging by the hair helmet. Although black teeth haven't been in style since feudal Japan......
