For those of us too busy to keep on top of the terror threat level....
Firefox has a hilarious extension to their browser called "US Department of Homeland Insecurity Idiocy Level". Now, with no surfing or tv watching necessary, you too can have in your tool bar a little box that will tell you how you should be feeling... today I'm "scared". Makes me giggle everytime I look at it.

For those of you not interested in having a terror threat level extension there's something just as useful: The "Abe Vigoda Status".
Morbid, yet funny.

4. I find it very humorous...
...it just reminds me how many really stupid people out there are ruled by the Repubs fearmongering.

Unless you were referring to the Abe Vigoda thing... you're on your own there if that's what's compelling you....lol

5. I like the one at this link, I have it at the top of my homepage
<http://homokaasu.org/stupidity/>

Plus, I have one or two of those for the Konfabulator (It's a free program from YaHoo!) at this link:

<http://www.konfabulator.com/>

Konfabulator is a really cool little program that works with both PC's and Mac's.

You should check it out, they have all kinds of stuff. I just got a "Widget" that shows me where the International Space Station is in real time.

10. Careful, that site is very addictive...
...before you know it, you'll have downloaded 20 Widgets, and and have been on the site for 3 hours. I know, I've been there.
