You know what I hate? &mdash; People who read 1984 and describe everything as "Orwellian." See here for a particularly egregious example. And if that sounds Orwellian to you, you obviously haven't gone to high school since the fifties.

The downside of economies of scale &mdash; Recently, I've been getting a lot of spam advertising "soft Viagra" or "soft Cialis". As in (sent today): "Be a man, take soft Cialis." A moment's thought should confirm that these campaigns should take their rightful place beside the Chevy Nova.

The downside of Google &mdash; While doing research for the article on Libertarian Party (United States), I discovered that the number one Google result for "Idaho libertarian party" (sans quotation marks) is a site selling Japanese porn. Don't ask why. UPDATE: Google now puts the Japenese porn site third in the list of results. Good for them.

Ay caramba! &mdash; "So if Camille Pagila did not exist, Bart Simpson would likely have invented her in order to extend the colonizing practices of cartoons to the last redoubt of narrative culture, where nostalgia and the good life are still one: the academy." -- Jerry Herron, "Homer Simpson's Eyes and the Culture of Late Nostalgia," Representations, #43, p. 20.

"Please ban free speech" &mdash; "The Oprah Show described with graphic detail a sexual term known as 'tossing salad.' It was so offensive that my child's head literally exploded. Please ban free speech so this never happens again." -- Actual letter of complaint sent to FCC
