Geek Note:
An intervention is in order.
Please stop using Microsoft Internet Explorer.
I realize that change is difficult, but there are alternatives to your destructive lifestyle. For those of you using any version of MS-Windows, please consider downloading a modern web-browser like Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome (or Chromium). It's free, and there's really no legitimate excuse for using MSIE.

Although I do make some minor attempts to ensure this page will display properly under IE, I also can't help but thinking that anyone using a 1999 web-browser deserves to be served a 1999 web-experience and has no valid platform to complain upon.

And if you're still using Mosaic, then piss off. You might be all kinds of awesome for even remembering Mosaic, but you don't belong on today's internet. Fire up your Magellan search engine and go discover some straits or something.

The two-party system,
as described by Lewis Carroll


"I weep for you" the Walrus said, "I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out those of the largest size.


"I like the walrus best." said Alice.

"Because I think he felt at least a little bit sorry for the poor oysters, unlike that greedy carpenter."

"But the walrus ate more of the oysters than the carpenter did." said Tweedledee. "He held his handkerchief in front of his mouth to hide how many he was eating, so the carpenter couldn't count them."

"That was rather unfair of him!", she exclaimed. "Not to mention rude, and despicably mean to the oysters. In that case, I like the carpenter best since he didn't eat as many as the walrus."

"But he ate as many of them as he could." noted Tweedledum. "Every single oyster the walrus left, he took."

"Well!" said Alice, clearly puzzled and disturbed by the whole story. "They were both very unpleasant characters and I don't like either of them."
