The New York Times has an interesting article about how the part of the brain responsible for controlling emotions and empathy (the amygdala) responds more strongly to images of violence in liberals than in conservatives. So maybe this is why the current administration doesn't seem to feel very bad about untold thousands of wounded, 11-40+ thousand civilian casualties, and 1000+ military personnel casualties in Iraq. Hopefully the Wizard of Oz will give Bush a heart soon... or wait, I mean a brain, oh what the hell give him both!

Also, this article reaffirmed my longtime distrust of hooking a camera up to my computer. Apparently there is a worm going around that allows a remote viewer to see whatever your digital video camera sees, whether you think it is active or not! More detail on the worm can be found here.
