Sic
Setting aside Coulter's tongue-in-cheek, rhetorical gamesmanship, the likening of Tiller's murder to a late-term abortion is an interesting tact. - David Knowles
There should be an award for being able to use the word "tact" in the same sentence as Ann Coulter without using a negative. On the other hand, what word did the writer mean? tack? tactic?
Oh heck this is the inet. What need have we of good anything. Gresham rules!

new series - whiteboard
In the cube next to mine is a white board on which the locals write whatever comes to mind. Amazingly, things are seldom erased - even by management:
Some men are discovered, others are found out.next

pigs
The carelessness of some people is very annoying. Take recycling. I have worked w/recycling Al cans at both church and work. Why do people throw trash in the recycling containers?
Now the green committee at work has placed cardboard boxes in the break rooms for recycling plastic containers. No rollout. Just shazam! Result -- people put garbage in the containers.
If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing right!
That'll do, Pig!

obscure computer humor
I wrote this a while back.
Background:
DUQN is Duquesne Systems, a former software vendor (I once worked for them - good company w/good people working on good mainframe software products)
Morino is Morino Associates, a former software vendor
Legent is a former software vendor formed by the merger of those two
Goal a former software vendor bought by Legent
dwarf is one of many small former software vendors bought by Legent
CA is Compter Associates, a software vendor that bought Legent
the math of it all expressed as computer code:
DUQN + Morino = Legent + excitement due to culture clash + 0*progress + bad management
Do i=1 to n
Legent + dwarf = Legent + little result
Enddo
Legent + Goal = Legent + silly t-shirt + lost benefits + layoff(s) + semi-chaos + more bad management
Legent + CA + financial fraud = CA + large job loss + nice severance + lousy service + pissed off (American English) customers + no indictments (statute of limitations ran out too soon)
