"Firefox has detected > that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way > that will never complete." Has a certain poetry... Weird. Totally worked for me. If you use Steve's link, then change "false" to "true" in that big, dumb URL and then erase &i_referrer and everything after that, it'll work without registration. Ssssh. But I did read it and the guy's a fucking idiot. He's certainly no smarter or more insightful than the Ivy League brats he denigrates. He wants some kind of "meritocracy" and is basically amoral and apolitical. Any idiot can see that Capitalism is broken. And if he thinks the last great philosopher died with Jefferson, he's clearly not a very well-read man. Linux and hemp, huh? I mean, sure. Those are fine, fine things, but this guy doesn't really understand the nature of either one. The hemp thing is particularly funny and totally typical of the pro-hemp arguments. "Cloth! Food! Oil! Not pot! And pot is totally good for you!" Nonsensical, self-contradictory pothead thinking.

As usual that left me with sore muscles around the ribs - as with most of my muscles they don't get trained enough, which results in said symptom when I'm sick. Anyway, that made this passage from today's NYT a bit painful to read: The current print edition of the O.E.D., for example, still sports this definition of the unusual word babbreviatorb: ba junior official of the Vatican, whose duties include drawing up the popebs briefsb b which would clearly, after briefs-as-legal-documents transmuted into briefs-as-boxer-alternatives, benefit from some rewriting.
