Not enough time for posting this weekend, I’m out of town in the woods.
So, what will your taxes buy with the bailout of AIG? Why it’s the sponsorship of the English Premiere League’s Manchester United! How sweet! We should see if we can acquire some better players.
Thanks, capitalism!

I don’t think I have to remind you guys that today is “Talk like a pirate day.”
Speaking of which, a game programmer, asked the intrawebs about why some people pirate his games. He’s got a rundown on many of the saner reasons, and he’s got solutions to some of the critiques of his games and their cost. He’s trying to fix it, so that they aren’t pirated. As much. Good luck. Hope to hear from you in a year about how those changes worked.
Avast, keel haul ’em!

Almost what I wanted, but not quite. Still very much kawaii. XD And this is just her less angry face.
There’s nothing wrong with Capitalism
There’s nothing wrong with free enterprise
Don’t try to make me feel guilty
I’m so tired of hearing you cry
There’s nothing wrong with making some profit
If you ask me I’ll say it’s just fine
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to live nice
I’m so tired of hearing you whine

Sometimes wishes may come true. Doubtful.
The best figure out there, but very difficult to find. They need to re-issue it one more time. Like today would’ve been cool. >_

Your wicked walk in Babylon
There is no wisdom to your freedom

Pretty soon it will be Holloween, but John McCain doesn’t need a mask. He is our nations worst nightmare.
Jill Greenberg photographed McCain for the latest issue of the Atlantic. She made it unflattering. She also did a photoshopped version with McCain saying, “I am a bloodthirsty warmonger.” Very funny, but it does no good to point out the obvious. In fact, people will be more sympathetic with this pathetic person. That isn’t exactly what we need to rid our nation of the scourge of Republicans. Where’s buffy when you need her?
Illuminating love falls from the skies
To water the illusions in our eyes
All that we desire and all we fear
All our aspirations grow unclear
We feel endlessly
Beyond all gravity
Who are we? What we see? O, I can’t comprehend
Who are we? What we see? Woah, I can’t comprehend

You would think a blog titled, “Lawyers, Guns and Money,” would talk about plenty of other things except naval battleships. You would be wrong. Robert Farley, while also an excellent political blogger, done a series of posts on battleships of various navies of the world. He wrote good historical information into those posts. He compares various navies use of the battleship, he writes of the glory days of the battleship, and he got me interested in building little scale models of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
I have the Yamato waiting to be built. I just need some paint.
