ieHTTPheaders gets even MORE useful. One of my favorite tools certainly high on my list of things I use all the time is Jonas Blunck's ieHTTPheaders.  It's a fantastically elegant solution to an irritating problem...I want to see the HTTP headers, but I don't feel like using a sniffer...can't this be integrated in with IE? Well, it is.  But, it's never supported HTTPS before, which put me in a bad spot since EVERYTHING we do in the banking industry uses HTTPS.  So, now ieHTTPheaders supports SSL.  Fabulous.

Andrew Northrup Is an International Treasure. The Poor Man: Oh, Dear: Shorter Camille Paglia - I believe that Madonna is the most original philosopher of the millennium, for reasons so self-consciously contrarian that I must surely be the Smartest Girl In The Whole Wide World. My obsessive desire to draw attention to myself and approvingly recite my resume apropos of nothing speaks volumes about my screwed-up psychology, much like the many volumes of Aristotle which I have read in the original Greek. Shorter Noam Chomsky - Whatever someone said recently is pretty rich, considering East Timor. Shorter The Nation - If the inspiring story of a few dozen douche bags pointing out that there is no difference between anyone to the right of late period Mao Tse-Tung doesn't totally get your chub on, get up against the wall. Shorter National Review - We are in danger of letting another priceless opportunity to use our tactical nuclear weapons pass us by, largely due to the corrupting influence of gays, women, and Muslims on our precious bodily fluids.

"QUEERS FOR PALESTINE":. Yes, there actually is a group that goes by that name. They'd be more accurate calling themselves, "Turkeys For Thanksgiving." Maybe they haven't seen stories like this one. Like many Arab mobocracies, the Palestinian Authority, so beloved of the hyper-tolerant Europeans, is viciously homophobic - to the point of imprisonment and execution and the habitual response of tyrannies to gay people - accusing them of treachery. Yet the gay left continues to appease and make excuses for these thugs. Why? Is their hatred of America that deep? Or are they that stupid? [Andrew Sullivan - The Daily Dish] 9:18:05 AM
