A classic text on computer networks, old but still relevant enough.

ESCONDIDO, CA Spurred by an administration he believes to be guilty of numerous transgressions, self-described American patriot Kyle Mortensen, 47, is a vehement defender of ideas he seems to think are enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and principles that brave men have fought and died for solely in his head.

"Our very way of life is under siege," said Mortensen, whose understanding of the Constitution derives not from a close reading of the document but from talk-show pundits, books by television personalities, and the limitless expanse of his own colorful imagination. "It's time for true Americans to stand up and protect the values that make us who we are."

The above is satire, courtesy of The Onion. It's so funny I could cry... and keep on crying because the U.S. is full of idiots like this, real citizens who will vote based on erroneous information about the constitution, government and history of the U.S.

"No government has the right to decide on the truth of scientific principles, nor to prescribe in any way the character of the questions investigated. Neither may a government determine the aesthetic value of artistic creation, nor limit the forms of literacy or artistic expression. Nor should it pronounce on the validity of economic, historic, religious, or philosophical doctrines. Instead it has a duty to its citizens to maintain the freedom, to let those citizens contribute to the further adventure and the development of the human race." --The Meaning Of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen-Scientist, 1998

"Looking back at the worst times, it always seems that they were times in which there were people who believed with absolute faith and absolute dogmatism in something. And they were so serious in this matter that they insisted that the rest of the world agree with them. And then they would do things that were directly inconsistent with their own beliefs in order to maintain that what they said was true." --The Meaning Of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen-Scientist, 1998

Eh, suicidal move on his part. Hope this is the final act for the man who has done the most to ruin freedom of press and quality news reporting. I'd be quite pleased if this move managed to kill FoxNews.
