Isn't that what connectors usually use gender for? Perhaps there is actually more to this.

The bill sets out a long list of strict financial and political requirements should a government get into the broadband business. But the N.C. League of Municipalities and a growing number of cities oppose the measure, saying it would effectively make it impossible for local governments to provide Internet service in rural and low-income areas where private industry has decided not to."

He probably didn't mean it the way it sounds, but it does rather illustrate the kind of "thinking" at work among Bush supporters: better to have another 9/11 than to have to keep dealing with (much less acknowledge the validity of dissent). The right wing truly does have more in common with the Islamic extremists than with most everyone else.

This page was originally for quickly pasting links when there wasn't time to put them on the proper page(s).

The link-filing form was intended to make that unnecessary, but is still too slow to keep up with the ever-increasing onslaught of relevant posts. We will need to develop some kind of incremental bulk-filing system which allows large numbers of links to be saved quickly and annotated later.
