The Covers Project
-
Welcome to The Covers Project. We're building a database of cover songs (songs performed by an artist other than the original performer) with the intention of creating cover "chains." A cover chain is a set of songs in which each song is a cover of a song by the band who covered the preceding song.(b/w Girlhacker)

Le Pen Pulls Upset in French Vote
(Yahoo! News)
-
Le Pen, 73, is founder and head of the National Front party, which historically has blamed immigrants, especially from North Africa, for high unemployment and urban violence ... Le Pen's success was sure to cause concern in other European countries like Germany and Italy, where governments are also coping with anti-immigrant sentiment.Whoah! There's a new one to BoyCaught: European people blaming their self-induced problems on people that don't resemble them ostensibly. We've never seen European people scapegoat and lash out against people who look different than them. Have we? I mean, like you go and colonize a country back in the day, one would think that the least those people can do is idolize you for eternity. Man, thank God it's only France.

Evolutionism Propaganda
(Objective: Christian Ministries)
-
"The real operating system hiding under the newest version of the Macintosh operating system (MacOS X) is called... Darwin! That's right, new Macs are based on Darwinism! While they currently don't advertise this fact to consumers, it is well known among the computer elite, who are mostly Atheists and Pagans. Furthermore, the Darwin OS is released under an 'Open Source' license, which is just another name for Communism. They try to hide all of this under a facade of shiny, 'lickable' buttons, but the truth has finally come out: Apple Computers promote Godless Darwinism and Communism."Sometimes, BoyCaught just has to let the commentary speak for itself. The quote is taken from a site called "Objective: Christian Ministries." Subjectively objective. Technology, it's the new religion. Haven't you heard? So what do you believe in? And what about all those daemons, Neo? (b/w Adam CurrydotCom)

Abercrombie & Fitch to pull t-shirts with offensive portrayals of Asian-American
(Mercury News)
-
Clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch said today it is pulling a new line of t-shirts with stereotypical portrayals of Asians, after the company received a barrage of angry complaints from Asian-Americans who have called for boycotts and apologies.I present this one to folks who say, "Oh, racism is no longer a problem in America." When Black people say racism is still a problem, the majority folk say, "Why are they complaining? Things are great. Look at that little Tiger Woods fellow." But all you need to do is what attitudes that would allow a presumable "respectable" company to print such offensive shirts deriding to know: the more sh*t changes, the more sh*t stays the same.

QOTD: "When someone buys a book, they are also buying the right to resell that book, to loan it out, or to even give it away if they want. Everyone understands this."
--Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com CEO, appearing in The Wall Street Journal, 15 April 2002
Finally, a voice of reason; can he talk to the morons running the music, television and film industries now? (b/w Ditherati)

New law may add 19th hole to course
(Chicago Tribune)
-
The Glencoe Golf Club could become the first business to sell alcohol on Cook County forest preserve property, to the chagrin of neighbors who cite traffic safety concerns.Now that sounds like golf for the people. BoyCaught can't trash golf for being a stuck-up sport for elitist snobs if folks from the trailer park start teeing off ... with a bunch of Old Milwaukees stuffed into their bags. (b/w Fark)

Here come the SaRaHs
(This is London)
-
The growing numbers of young women - dubbed Sarahs as they are single, rich and happy - are changing the face of the British economy. Career-orientated and successful, they are not looking for a man to help out with the mortgage or that new pair of Jimmy Choos. They don't need to - they have, on average, bank balances ofMaybe because of all of those British blokes. Chip, chip cheerio and all that rot. BoyCaught figures that the troubling aspect of this story is the axiomatic viewpoint that women see just men as wallets. We have more to offer than that, don't we?

Bootstrapping
(DaveNet)
-
When engineers build a suspension bridge, first they draw a thin cable across a body of water. Then they use that cable to hoist a larger one. Then they use both cables to pull a third, and eventually create a thick cable of intertwined wires that you can drive a truck across (actually hundreds of trucks).That's a bootstrap. First you take a step you know is on the path, learn from it, and use it to lift up the next level.Makes a lot of sense ... and can be applied in many different environments where problems need to be solved.

UserLand Offers Headlines from NYTimes.Com
-
Stating the obvious: an exclusive deal with the New York Times, from a company that extolls "openess" is dripping with hypocrisy. Will there be similar deals for folks who use Blogger or Movable Type, for instance? But then it wouldn't be exclusive, now would it? It just goes to prove that you can never what they say, just believe what they do. Talk open, but play closed.

EU and US selling poor down the river
(Guardian Unlimited)
-
Rich countries are fierce advocates of liberalisation in developing countries, while retaining high trade barriers against exports from the same countries. For free trade to work for the poor, rich countries must start backing up their rhetoric with real concession.But bloodsuckas suck blood, and they suck blood 'til its dry. That's what bloodsuckas do. Oh, and by the way, if you're looking for a textbook definition of 'New World Order,' which now goes by the euphemism 'globalisation,' (the 's' mine) you'll find it right here. A McDonald's and a Starbucks in every town on the planet ... I tell you, I have seen the future.

13 Days of Bloodshed
(The Times UK)

For folks -- like me -- who need pictures to try and understand what all the fuss is about in the West Bank, this is a good start. For instance, did you know Israel has 3,900 tanks, and the Palestinian militia has 0? Who's David and who's Goliath? (b/w Ethel the Blog)

The houses that saved the world
(Economist.com)
-
To put it crudely: as one bubble burst, another started to inflate. Those capital gains have in turn been converted into cash as households have taken out bigger mortgages. The lesson which consumers-and also many over-sanguine economists-have to learn is that spending cannot outpace income for ever.Now, you can be a slave to your company for 40 hours (or more a week), and a slave to your mortgage the rest of the time.
