Hey There,
I'm now, officially, a fan of The Thin Guy's Blog over at blogs.sun.com. At least, I'm officially a fan of the post I'm highlighting here today.
I don't really get too worked up over religion, politics and/or any other subject that most people hold very strong beliefs about (What's the point in having an argument that you can't possibly win? ;), but I thought this post, titled The War On Terror, as viewed from the Bourne shell was funny enough to share and absorb any backlash (that I'm positive I'm going to get) from family and friends.
I've included the basic post below, but you should check out the official page. A lot of the comments offer suggestions for improvement or addition that are just as entertaining :)
Cheers,
The War on Terror
As viewed from the Bourne shell.

Shirt Update: New Shirts for sale over at Giant Robot Printing. Please read here for details. I will be closing down the CafePress shirt store, but will leave the poster up for sale. After working with Ken from GRP, there is no way that all that text is going to look good on the CafePress Shirt. I fully expect to have all the prior shirts returned.
Update: If you don't get it, go here.
