Bones Found Near Crash Site Confirmed Fossett's
Trip6 writes "Bones found near the wreckage of the plane flown by Steve Fossett when he disappeared last fall have been confirmed to be Fossett's by DNA analysis. The NTSB is still investigating the crash. Fossett may have been searching for a place to break the land speed record, his next quest."
if'in there iz anyone out there hoo still doubts that America iz a place where all things iz possible; hoo still wonders if'in da dream o' our founders iz alive in our time; hoo still questions da martin luther jr. feelin' o' our democracy, tonight iz ya'lls answer.
It's da answer told by lines that stretched around schools an' churches in numbers this nation haz never seen; by niggas hoo waited three hours an' four hours, many fo' da very first time in da niggas' lives, because da niggas believed that this time must be different; that da niggas' voice could be that difference.
It's da answer spoken by young an' old, rich an' poor, Democrat an' Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled an' no way disabled - Americans hoo sent a message ta da world that we haz never b'in a collection o' Red States an' Blue States: we iz, an' always will be, da United States o' America.
It's da answer that led those hoo haz b'in told fo' so long by so many ta be cynical, an' fearful, an' doubtful o' wa'tch we can achieve ta put da niggas' hands on da arc o' history an' bend da thang once more toward da hope o' a better dey.
It's b'in a long time coming, but tonight, because o' wa'tch we did on this dey, in this election, at this defining moment, change haz come ta America.
I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. da nigga fought long an' hard in this campaign, an' he's fought even longer an' harder fo' da country da nigga loves. da nigga haz endured sacrifices fo' America that most o' us cannot begin ta imagine, an' we iz better off fo' da service rendered by this brave an' selfless leader.
I congratulate him an' Governor Palin fo' all da niggas haz achieved, an' meh look forward ta working with them ta renew this nation's promise in da months ahead.
I want ta thank mah partner in this journey, a nigga hoo campaigned from hiz heart an' spoke fo' da niggas an' women da nigga grew up with on da streets o' Scranton an' rode with on that train home ta Delaware, da Vice-President-elect o' da United States, Joe Biden.
I would no way be standing in da hizzle tonight without da unyielding support o' mah best friend fo' da last 16 years, da rock o' our family an' da love o' mah life, our nation's next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha an' Malia, meh love ya'll both so much, an' ya'll haz earned da new puppy that's coming with us ta da White crib.
And while she's no longer with us, meh know mah grandmother iz watching, along with da family that made me hoo meh iz. meh miss them tonight, an' know that mah debt ta them iz beyond measure.
To mah campaign manager David Plouffe, mah chief strategist David Axelrod, an' da best campaign team ever assembled in da history o' politics - ya'll made this happen, an' meh iz forever grateful fo' wa'tch you've sacrificed ta get da thang done.
But above all, meh will never forget hoo this victory truly belongs ta - da thang belongs ta ya'll.
I waz never da likeliest candidate fo' this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign waz no way hatched in da halls o' Washington - da thang began in da backyards o' Des Moines an' da living rooms o' Concord an' da front porches o' Charleston.
It waz built by working niggas an' women hoo dug into wa'tch little savings da niggas waz havin' ta give $5 an' $10 an' $20 ta this cause.
It grew strength from da young niggas hoo rejected da myth o' da niggas' generation's apathy; hoo left da niggas' homes an' da niggas' families fo' jobs that offered little pay an' less sleep; from da not-so-young niggas hoo braved da bitter cold an' scorching heat ta knock on da doors o' perfect strangers; from da millions o' Americans hoo volunteered, an' organised, an' proved that more than two centuries later, a government o' da niggas, by da niggas an' fo' da niggas haz no way perished from this Earth.
This iz ya'lls victory.
I know ya'll didn't do th
It appears that the editors are making a conscious effort to not post a story about the US election, probably because of past protests that such news items are not "News for Nerds". But then we have this story about Fossett, which really isn't news for nerds. He may have some association with activities that involve some tech, but this is about the recovery of his body, and is also a few days late in being reported. It's been all over the rest of the media for a while now.
But the presidency has a profound effect on the technical environment, from outsourcing and visa policy, to advocating alternative energy, etc. What's with the hold out editors? How about a story titled "How will Obama's election effect the landscape for geeks/nerds?"

It would appear that some of the moderators disagree with you.
like a catholic priest loves young altar boys?
Heh... You toss off a line like that, and you call me a troll?
