Does Anyone Other Than Diehard Republicans Find Anne Coulter attractive?

Even the people who hate Anne Coulter seem to find her "fetching" in some way. How is this? True, she doesn't have the worst figure in town or the worst flap of skin covering the anterior section of her neuro-sensory pod (face and head), but a babe? I just don't get it. I mean, if I had a fantasy about a blonde hitler babe in tight leather tying me up and saying mean things to me based on my political views while she beats me with a riding crop...hey, I think I get it now!

The Creator of the Internet supports Net Neutrality

Tim Berners-Lee didn't create the hardware networking system known as the interconnected network, or internet for short. But he did create the language that allowed the WWW, or world wide web, to come into existence. Of course, the web brings us all kinds of quality of life enhancers, such as discussion forums, blogs, websites about groundhogs, and a million years worth of porn.

This is what Berners-Lee has to say about net neutrality: "The neutral communications medium is essential to our society. It is the basis of a fair competitive market economy. It is the basis of democracy, by which a community should decide what to do. It is the basis of science, by which humankind should decide what is true. Let us protect the neutrality of the net."
