The CIA is hiring spies.

You know how we were supposed to come up with a way to make a lot of money quickly? I haven't figured out how to do that legally, but I've figured out what we can do with it once we have it. We can all buy ourselves tickets to Ghana, and with $10,000 or so we could all live very comfortably for a few years.
I think one of us should find out if there are any extradition treaties between the US and Ghana.

I fried the power supply on the computer I use to get online last week. I just robbed one out of another system to get online. My absence from the internet had an unintended result; my hotmail account completely overflowed, thanks to spam and two 400k messages someone I know sent me.
This wasn't just one of those overflows where I quit getting mail, hotmail actually started deleting messages it thought were of little interest to me. All told, I have a single email message remaining which I had read, and a few hundred that are gone forever. After I got over the initial shock of it, I felt refreshed. It's like a clean slate, a fresh start, no baggage. I just hope all of my friends who I never bothered to add to my address book will email me so I can get their addresses again.

The speed of light may not be absolute. It might have been much faster in the past.

I'd like to add this to Jeremy's challenge: Why should I, as a descendant of two different Civil War veterans, both of whom fought for the Union, have to pay reparations to descendants of American slaves? There, now you can go back to ignoring this whole challenge.
Here's a new interesting site that I just ran across.

Here's a challenge for you: Give a convincing argument on why I, as a possible descendant of a slave owner, should pay reparations to descendants of american slaves, and how it would be beneficial to this society today. good luck.

Shame, Jeremy. The appropriate response was, "There goes the neighborhood."

It's Bill. Hi Bill. You're not just going to post once and then go your merry way, are you?

I thought those of you who follow the mideast might appreciate today's edition of This American Life. It's the most interesting show on NPR, and you can listen to it online. Those of you who like to look at non-western media viewpoints on Israel should click here.
BTW, greetings to those who don't know me, as well as to those who do.
