Poor George W. Everybody makes fun of him. (Let the page load, it's worth it in a really juvenille sort of way.)
Mike said the site was boring yesterday, so I'm trying to come up with a lot of links today. Because I don't really have time to scour the whole net, I'm just stealing a few from memepool (this one, and the last two.)
Anyway, here's the Hacker FAQ which will help answer any questions you might have about hiring a hacker.

Here's the first three chapters of a graphic novel about the Presidential race: S2K. The author (artist?) says:
If there was ever any question of how I view the common voter, politicians and modern American politics, this serialized graphic novel should make everything clear by page 4. S2K is my hate filled manifesto, my ultimatum, my revealed contempt, and my pie smashed into the face of the political machine. Read it with gritted teeth. This election year, the American political system goes all to Hell...
Did you know the CIA bought the film rights to Orwell's Animal Farm?
Maybe Wheel will comment more fully, but here's my quick take. We went to ESCA last night, which is the all seafood restaurant in the Mario Batali empire (you know, the guy with the food show, the long red hair, and the funny shoes who brought us Po, Lupa, and Babao.) The menu had us absolutely dizzy. We literally wanted to order evey single thing (well, O.K., only MB and I wanted to order the sea urchin.) All Italian wine. A great Northern Italian white from the area (Tirol) we traveled through last year, and an amazing example of the elusive (red) Lagrain (sp?) grape which we searched for in Italy, but now it seems finally found the one we wanted right here in NYC. With the Quinterelli for dessert we were feeling no pain. Oh, the food? Great. The fried fish was amazing (vongole and the frito-misto (sp?),) maybe the best I've ever had. Pasta's (as you might expect at a Mario restaurant) were perfect, although the perriwinkle and chilie was not as amazing as we had hoped. The eel (appetizer) was also not a favorite (although surely not bad.) The beet and botarga salad was a winner, as was the big stuffed clam (anyone remember what that was called?) I'd say: order lots of appetizers. Expensive; sure. Weird location - 43rd and 9th; for sure. Good time; good bet.

Hey Wheel, want to check this out and tell me if it works? (I'm assuming they provide instructions on how to shape-shift back into human form. Hmmm, you might want to make sure first.)
anybody have a dentist in manhattan they would like to recommend?
American Museum of the Moving Image has a show of presidential campaign commercials, but it's a bit buggy on this machine. Maybe you should just skip to the exhibit of classic video arcade games.
Way to go Dave. (Trick or Treat entry) I guess that was the game I should have come to watch. Or maybe now that you've jumped to the super star level you will continue to play that way? Must be all those olympics you are watching.
