Well, probably this one is a contender for the stupidest. Tragedy in the the Winnenden school led to the proposal to ban paintball and lasertag?!? Come on, how much of an idiot a lawmaker can be to propose that. Germany already has laws against computer games. They either have to be altered(Half Life had robots instead of soldiers) to meet their requirements, or banned altogether. In Germany military service mandatory. Every guy goes to the army and learns how to shoot and kill with real weapons and live ammo. But the same person can't play paintball and lasertag? As for the Germans asking to ban handguns and high caliber weapons, read your own history, alright? Back in 1930s Hitler did do that and where did it lead Germany and the world is pretty well documented.

Jon Stewart rulez :)

Well, I've been following the whole saga, and it's hilarious. CNBC, Cramer and others did deserve it 150%. Sadly, comedy show is reporting more objective news than those who's job is to report news. Scarborough is a real moron though. Why should Stewart tell us what the stock market will do, he's a comedian. Unlike Cramer and the rest of CNBC shill journalists, he's not getting bunch of people to loose their lives' savings. Seeing how pissed of those guys are, Stewart did hit the spot.

Dropped site skins

Too much hassle maintaining 4 different color schemes for 2 sites, plus java applets need support in code and so on. This will do :)

US supreme court issued ruling striking down Washington DC ban on handguns. The court's 5-4 ruling struck down the District of Columbia's 32 year old ban on handguns as incompatible with gun rights under the Second Amendment. Yeah babe. Gun owners won a major battle after years of endless and mindless bans on personal firearms! Gun bans just disarm law abiding citizens, criminals are getting their guns illegally anyway, how hard is that to understand?
