MLB supercharges mouseless browsing. No, I haven’t suddenly converted to a sports fan. MLB= mouseless browsing. It’s a Firefox addon that puts numbers next to links so you can type in the numbers instead of using the mouse. Probably less than fun on a laptop (on which I’m typing this) but I am looking forward to testing it out on the desktop. I figure it’s either going to be very good or worthless.

Anyway, what do you suppose Ninety-Four had to worry about?  Was it sheer lack of perspective? Maybe he was never poor. Or whatever they call it these days (middle class?). Hey, do you think Ninety-Four invested with Madoff? That would probably do it.
The U.S. Army apologized on Wednesday for sending 7,000 letters addressed to “Dear John Doe” to the relatives of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The letters, printed by a contractor and mailed in December… [Citizens for Legitimate Gov't]Â Â Maybe they should have hired Halliburton instead.
