The definitive word on Leach's firing.
Remember the movie War Games where Matthew Broderick’s character hacks into some online set of games, decides to play Global Thermonuclear War and sets of a chain reaction that nearly launches actual government missiles all over the world? In the end, the missiles don’t get launched, instead we’re left with a very `80’s message that in GTN War, there are no winners....
A late Quote of the Decade contender
Knocking boots with Beyonce has never been one of my goals, but if presented the opportunity, you best believe I won’t labor through 20 minutes of foreplay and signal for Curtis Painter to finish the job…via sportsbybrooks.com How long until “Curtis Painter” becomes a term to use in reference to replacing a competent person with a wholly incompetent one?

Using your religion to not get vaccines? What?!....

Also, a 1-2 punch of Halladay and Lee would make the Phillies the early 2010 frontrunners, right? It just makes no sense for a minor upgrade, unless they’re afraid Lee would crash and burn after throwing a new career high in innings, Hamels-style? That, or...
For @karlmageddon, a bunch of cool iPhone...
As far as “apps” go: Photogene, Pandora, Google, PicPosterous, Skype, Boxcar (free Twitter push notifications), Remote, WordPress, Ping!, AroundMe, Shazam, Facebook, eBuddy (free IM client with push), MobileRSS (wait for it when it gets free, it’s a cool Google Reader client). For tweeting, I’m torn between Tweetie 2 and Twittelator - Tweetie’s design is sublime, but...
