In all the aftermath of the Virginia Tech shooting I missed talk show host Neil Boortz blaming the victims of the shooting at Virginia tech. He apparently apologized for his remarks, but frankly I fail to see how he didn’t mean what he said given that he apparently put some thought into it to talk about it and also write about it on his website in the days following the attack. And unlike the rest of the country he apparently didn’t even bother to read the news about the attack since his characterization of what happened was completely and utterly wrong. Blame the victims, way to go Boortz, you are a real class act.

This is interesting. (Hat tip: InstaPundit.)
UPDATE: Is it illegal to re-publish the number? Perhaps, but if so, at least I can take comfort in the fact that there’s strength in numbers: a Google search now shows nearly 300,000 pages linking to the Number That Must Not Be Named.
UPDATE 2: I removed the middle numbers from the string, so that I’m not technically displaying the key on my site. The title was a little long anyway. :) The point here isn’t promoting circumvention, obviously, but reporting on this news story (and also pointing out the utter ridiculousness of the DMCA).

Can you handle The Truth about 4/29? Heh. (Hat tip: Insty.)
P.S. Protein Wisdom is on board with the 4/29 Truth movement: “Bush is trying to get us into a war with bay area sea lions.”
UPDATE: The evildoers have struck again:
DEMOPOLIS, Ala. (AP) - A freight train carrying segments of the space shuttle’s solid rocket boosters derailed Wednesday after a bridge collapsed, authorities said. Six people were reported injured.
The article says “the cause of the bridge collapse [is] under investigation,” but we all know that “investigation” will be nothing but a cover-up. The Truth is out there!

The first scholarship will be given out next Thursday. Detailed information, including how to donate to the fund, is after the jump.

Like a half-dozen different people have sent me this, so I figure I’d better actually post it. :) Here you go:
Heh.
Speaking of USC football, the kickoff times for a bunch of their games were announced yesterday, along with the rest of ESPN/ABC’s Saturday Night Football slate.
