…and once again reinforces why I vote Libertarian.

So it appears that our wonderful leaders in North Carolina are scrounging around to find money anywhere they can find it. Their thought…let’s tax all the internet users! A group of politicians is studying whether to apply a sales tax to digital downloads over the internet. This includes such websites as eBay, iTunes, Amazon and even the PlayStation network (PSN).

With all the economic problems we are having, a lot of people are resorting to entertainment to forget about their troubles. With games costing around $60, music costing about a $1 a song, we as consumers are already feeling the crunch. Taxing on top of that is like a virtual slap on the face.

I could really go on and on and on, but I would like to stop my rant before I say something not family friendly. I just wish politicians could get a grip on what their “people” they represent really want.

…given by the funny people at XKCD! They now give you their guide on how to have a contingency plan if you should happen to have a child rotten to the core. There are ALWAYS options, and this just provides another if you go with their “Jurassic Park” approach!

…because at least I could feel like I have accomplished something.

Once again, leave it to the Japanese to really come up with some weird stuff. Here, designer Haikun Deng has generated a concept drawing for a toilet seat with a scale built in that will measure exactly how much that excrement weighs that you just released into the toilet. Defiinitely a reverse concept of measuring yourself before and after and then taking the difference, but hey, who’s to fault creativity? Who wants to guess if Mr. Bunny Love in the designer’s pics feels 10 lbs. lighter or not?
