Reading group, anyone? 

"Spam King" kills wife, daughter, self

Jackass escaped from prison to go kill his three-year-old daughter, his wife, and himself.  What a loser.  At least he didn't kill the 7-month-old. 

Kids, don't spam, or you'll come to a bad end. 

Celebrity deaths always come in threes...

... but I'm not sure how many this counts for.  Maybe nine? 

Are we equal yet?

While I'm venting my spleen this morning:

Life as a sysadmin

Funny running into these articles next to each other:

That Cold War thing? Still not over.

Some records unsealed in Ethel and Julius Rosenberg case

Quién es más macho?

Fritz Lang or Zach Snyder? 

I can't decide which is cooler.

Some people just have no sense of humor

Sorry, but I think this is freaking brilliant.  I'd'a never expected it on the cover of the New Yorker: the tone seems more like the dearly departed Spy magazine.  Anyway, suck it up, Obama-ites: you're gonna see a lot worse before it's all over.

Edit - More heat/light:
