Dum Pendebat Filius

I’m headed down to southeastern Virginia, chers lecteurs, to visit family. Do not expect much activity here until after Labor Day.

Mark Noonan, Slack-Jawed Yokel, is pretty excited about Smokin’ Joe Scarborough’s revelation that “people in the newsroom [at MSNBC were] actively booing the President of the United States.” To him, this is (of course) more confirmation of the dreaded Liberal Bias in the MSM.
So I wonder, readers: what kind of bias was it [...]

Today’s Daily Link is Canto One of The Wingnuttiad, a brilliant ode limning the heroic words and deeds of the right-wing blogosphere. This is some seriously funny stuff, readers:
“Check the kerning! link, link! and blather!
Years ago we got that bastard Rather!

The streets of Pittsburgh, riddled as they are year-round with potholes, make life pretty tough on car tires. Conventional wisdom in this town says you’ll only get 20,000 miles out of a tire before it “needs replaced.”
But this, readers, is amazing. Look here:

Have you ever seen the like? That’s what happened to [...]

Strip Generator is the shit.
Here’s an example I made for the Unilang website forum. Cool that they use PNG images, as they are standard and unencumbered by patents. Sorry, it’s inside humor, but you get the idea:

I toyed with the idea of learning a functional programming language before. It’s good to see that toying often eventually leads to doing, as has been the case with Swedish. Some things that eventually prompted me to pursue FP more were an excellent article on the subject and personal experience with tedious maintenance of state [...]
