Curious

Never heard about the timesleader.com, but does anyone know more about this?
I saw the news story about cries of "terrorist," and "kill him" (in
reference to Obama) at a republican rally a while back. (People make the
connection to Palin, who attended, but the cries came while Chris Hackett --
who's a congressional candidate -- was speaking.) According to the article,
the Secret Service says the cry of "kill him" never happened (I can imagine
such a cry would be taken VERY seriously by the Secret Service), though they
don't say anything about the other remarks.

Amazon's giving us The Slip.

OK, now This
is fun. That's a link to where Amazon.com is selling the digital version
(all mp3 downloads) of NIN's "The Slip." It's going for $8.99. This is
amusing because NIN gave The Slip away for free, and released it under a
creative commons-type liscence. And encouraged people to share it via p2p.
So you can get The Slip for free (even if NIN took their site down, I'm sure
it's still beeing seeded), or you can pay $9 to Amazon and get the same
product. I wonder how much of that goes to NIN...
