USA: Kurt Nimmo: Limbaugh and the Babes of Abu Ghraib: “Beating and killing Iraqi detainees, according to Limbaugh, is good fun. ‘I’m talking about people having a good time, these people [CIA agents and MPs at Abu Ghraib], you ever heard of emotional release? You heard of need to blow some steam off?’ Limbaugh asked a caller. ‘This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation and we’re going to ruin people’s lives over it and we’re going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time.’ Limbaugh is attracted to people who torture. On his May 3 show, the loudmouth drug addict said ‘have you people noticed who the torturers are? Women! The babes! The babes are meting out the torture.’”

Tech: Ad Blockers Working To Get Rid Of Annoying Flash Ads. I am so sick and tired of the stupid Vonage ads. Grinning people sliding across my screen like they’re on an airport people-mover won’t get me to use Vonage. If Vonage offers some 808 numbers by the end of 2004, I might reconsider. Hawaii is a part of the USA, you know.
