These have been hanging around in my browser for more than a minute, time to shoo them outside to play.

1) Independent federal agency finds Bush White House routinely broke federal election laws

I’m shocked – shocked! – to find that Karl Rove and Dictator Cheney routinely broke federal laws, especially those pertaining to the Republican effort in the 2006 elections. I’m 100% sure that justice will be done swiftly.

“The Bush White House, particularly before the 2006 midterm elections, routinely violated a federal law that prohibits use of federal tax dollars to pay for political activities by creating a “political boiler room” that coordinated Republican campaign activities nationwide, a report issued Monday by an independent federal agency concludes.” NY Times

2) A really nice site sent from our friend Al Dente: If Charlie Parker Was A Gunslinger, There’d Be a Whole Lot Of Dead Copycats. Chock full of fullness.

3) I was wondering what machinima was; this answers the question.

4) R.I.P. Poppa Neutrino. Quite a guy.

5) And, as always, I’d like to point out that there’s a lot going on at the Electronic Frontier Foundation in the arena of privacy and individual rights. Their EFFector e-mail blast is always eye-opening.
