Manufactured news pisses me off. For instance, an AP wire story says "drug trafficking growing on the Internet". Um. Yeah. So what's the RFC for DTP (the Drug Transfer Protocol)? Can I tunnel it via SSH? Will somebody out there take my credit card and deliver a few hits of acid out my floppy drive? I guess "people are communicating with each other" doesn't make a headline, huh?

I was never into those harsh stimulants, they just make me all jittery.
