Bob isn't me, he just lives in my head every once in awhile.

I didn't see this one coming at all, folks!

South Dakota has a battle on their hands - the strict new anti-abortion stance is being challenged by the South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families. If you don't know, South Dakota's new law limits abortions to only life-threatening situations (in which the doctor is forced to try to save the life of the fetus as well). If you've been raped you'll be forced to term. If the fetus is killing you, your doctor is going to have to pause and try and save it's life as well before continuing on to save your own.

The group states (quite rightly) that the new "law clearly endangers the health of women in South Dakota and violates the right of women and families to make private, personal health-care decisions."

I'm a big fan of dungeon spelunking.

South Park has finally killed off Chef in what might be a (not so subtle) message to Isaac Hayes about his recent reason for quitting.

Hayes quit because of its "intolerance and bigotry toward religious beliefs." This is a humorous stance because the show has always made fun of religion. Nothing is sacred on South Park. South Park's popularity stems from its complete lack of regard for what any particular group believes.

Remember: Punt a cat, save a life. Oh, and don't die.

Texas has begun a campaign to get drunks off the street by arresting them while they are still in the bar, claiming that "being in a bar does not exempt one from the state laws against public drunkeness." Now, calling a cabbie or choosing someone to be a designated driver isn't an option - if a policeman catches you drunk (inside a bar), you're going to jail anyway.

Once again, Texas proves why it is a state not to be messed with... or lived in.

Don't die.

Cheesy puffs make yellow hands.

It much of the "civilized" world, it is illegal to hack DRMed music. Consequently, if you buy a song off of iTunes, you're forced to play the song on one piece of hardware: the iPod. France is the first (of what I hope turns to many) that has given DRM companies an ultimatum: make DRMed files be universally useable or French citizens will be legally allowed to hack the DRM (of files they legally own).

Yep. France sure has its ups and downs with DRM. Hopefully this ruling actually sticks.

Don't die.
