McCain’s “victory” line hasn’t worked during the campaign but with news footage of actual troops leaving there will be very high [...]
Metafliter’s Matt Haughey has laid out his ten-point platform for the nerd vote, which is not only a great assessment of some of the infrastructure and Information policy challenges our next leaders will need to address, but a wonderful platform for a new geek party.

PINKO DAILY BRIEFS. It’s cold out! We love it. Other things we love? Colin Powell and a possible Obama endorsement tomorrow.
