  Ron Paul has made me miss Ralph Nader

  As unelectable politicians popular with teenagers go, I have to say, I'm really feeling some serious nostalgia for Ralph Nader now that I've seen what Ron Paul mania looks lie. It may be that I came closer to agreeing with Nader than I do with Paul.Or, now that I think about it, maybe it's just that Nader's supporters didn't delude themselves into thinking he had a shot at anything more than a few percent of the vote, so they didn't come across quite so insane.But man, I can't wait for the Republican primary to be over. The political boards here are getting close to unreadable.

  Wikipedia is addictive.

  During the course of one of my many arguments on these boards, I noticed that the person I was arguing with was using some pretty sketchy sources. Some quick google work verified that he was relying on a wikipedia article. Part of the issue was that he was misquoting the article to make it sound more like it supported his position, but it wasn't a very good article to begin with. Since the information in question was about tax-exempt organizations, and I am familiar with where to find filings for U.S. tax-exempt organizations, I decided to update the article with information straight from the horse's mouth. Big mistake. Two days later, I'm completely addicted to editing articles. I've even created one of my own, which I'm sure will bore anyone who reads it to tears. 8) Someone save me...

  Outed by Google ads.

  I think it's really cool that Gmail displays targeted ads based on the content of my conversations.  But apparently they've decided to take it to the next level and recommend lifestyle changes.  My ads at the moment:

  1.  Premiere Finishing School for ladies.
  2.  Quality Underbust Corsets
  3.  Crossdressing Community
  4.  Makeup tips for transvestites.

  Here I was feeling all manly, and it turns out all along my online behavior is that of a pudgy, ill-mannered transvestite.
