Want to see some idiots arguing over meaningless shit? Have a look at this. It sets of all those buzzers: ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION *buzz!* EVIL CATHOLICS! *buzz!* MEXICANS TAKING OUR JOBS! *buzz!* ALIENS! I always feel like saying to these nutbags: "what exactly is wrong with illegal immigration?" to which they'll then respond "Well, it's illegal!". "Then, let's make it legal." "What, are you crazy? It's illegal, and they're illegal! Illegal! Illegal! Mexicans! Illegal! Mexicans, I say! Secure the borders! They're coming to take over California! They eat babies!" 
Ed Brayton has a good summary of Eugene Volokh's posts about the "One True Purpose" fallacy. This is abused by virtually everyone. The one true purpose, according to social conservatives, for a penis is to insert in to a vagina in order to reproduce. The one true purpose of a gun, according to gun control activists, is to shoot innocent people and children. The one true purpose of illegal drugs is to wreck people's lives. Moral black and whites exist in these folks minds, where in fact moral greys exist in reality (something that legislation can't cope with particularly well).
I've just been looking at Channel 4 Radio. Like with Podshow, I can't for the life of me figure out how to actually subscribe to the shows. Where's the damn RSS? Why should I have to sign up to get an RSS feed?
I was playing around with iJot yesterday. It now has a function that lets you publish to hosting.opml.org. All it needs to add is a bit of workflow and polish (plus some backing up logic in the Editor) and we've got ourselves an online OPML blogs editor.
Stick it to the man in the dress 
And I'm not talking about trannies. I'm talking about how Prime Minister Zapatero of Spain is sticking it to the Pope. Good for him. I'm frankly embarrased that my so-called political leaders are willing to meet with popes and other looneys-in-robes. Just because you claim to be in touch with a giant father figure up in the beyond somewhere and you like to wear robes does not mean that what you have to say has any value beyond what anybody else in the land thinks. This is something the BBC could do with understanding.
When I look at the Pope, I see a ghost. And not a cool ghost that goes around scaring kids (although he probably could do that if he tried), but a thoroughly dull ghost that waffles on and on about, well, bullshit like "family values". Get back to wandering around the Vatican spooking young priests and bored kids on holiday, you dullard in robes!
