Avatars Galore!

As you’ll soon notice, I’ve made some quick updates to the Diatribe this weekend. I’ve made it so that when you are a registered user you get a handy dandy little avater just like one of the contributors. While you may not be able to post to the Diatribe, your new avatar will show up [...]

2008 Election

I don’t like to get too political, but I stumbled upon this over at Rangelife and found it interesting.
