Seriously, the "Sanctity of Marriage" folks are missing a prime opportunity with gay marriage. Just look at all the ridiculously high statistics about divorce, adultery, and spousal abuse. Just think how sanctified marriage would be if we could blame all its problems on same sex marriages. Sure, I know all those problems were around before gay marriage, but this country re-elected George W. Bush for fuck's sake! Who's better at ignoring inconvenient facts?

One of NBC's stringless puppets said, referring to Nascar, "Marketing Analysts say the key to expanding the fan base of this "sport" is to attract more "foreign" drivers."

How about attracting more foreign spectators? Or making this R-rated soap box derby about something other than cars going in circles? Or getting "athletes" who do something besides sit on their asses?

Speaking of not doing anything but sitting on asses, Everquest II is going to let players type a command to bring up the Pizza Hut website and order pies in real time. Which would only be better if you could walk your character into Ye Olde Dinner Pie Shoppe, and actually order through an in-game interface.
