Well, there you go

Dick Lugar, the longest-serving Republican in the Senate, has been defeated in the Indiana Republican primary by the Tea Party-backed Richard Mourdock.

Apparently, choosing Mourdock over Lugar is a huge win for conservatives, because Lugar would, on occasion, work with Democrats. (I know, what an asshole!)

And... *sigh* as expected, North Carolina became the latest state to ban gay marriage. Some North Carolina voters apparently expect that gay marriage will cause the economy to stay in the crapper, take their tobacco subsidies, and shoot their dogs.

Sad little spammers

I've started getting e-mails saying things like "My Amazon order of X has been canceled."

I'd be worried about my Amazon info being stolen, except that they're e-mails going to the address I use for a spam collector, and it's really obvious that the links are to websites I don't want to go to.
