Political anti-attack ad?, Dane dialing, UMDs disappearing, fly glasses

Ah, the first thunderstorm of the year (that I remember anyway). My sump pump dreads it, but my lawn appreciates it. Here are some links wash away that last bit of snow:

• Rinck has eyes on Congress - "Our congressman is the smartest person in the district, and we might be the only place in the country that can say that," Rinck said. "But he falls somewhat short on the charisma meter. And it might take a somewhat less intelligent -- although much noisier -- person to get some things done for this district." Oooookay, interesting strategy...
• Denmark has more cel phone subscriptions than inhabitants. Because one phone number per person in your family is just not enough anymore.
• Hope you didn't buy a PSP for the movies. UMD movies might be on the way out.
• Laser used to make glasses for a housefly. Great, why are we improving their eyesight?
