So, I’m reading my September issue of Information Security Magazine the other day (what, you don’t get that?), and was shocked to find an article by David Mortman entitled, “Prettied Up Problem,” accompanied by this picture. It was supposedly about the fact that so-called professional organizations’ efforts to address their ethics problems by creating ethics requirements in their certifications weren’t really addressing any issues, and in fact were just dressing up an “ugly situation.” Mortman even had the audacity to include the line:

Really what we have is lipstick on a pig.

Needless to say, I was outraged – outraged, I tell you – and immediately fired off a stern e-mail demanding an apology, and telling them just how gosh darn appalled I was at both Mortman and the magazine for engaging in this vicious and cruel attack on our Alaskan goddess (no offense to actual goddesses – or would that be goddi? – implied), Sarah Palin. Talk about shameful and ignominious. If I get a reply back from them, I’ll let you know.

My father-in-law, by the way, says McCain is “his guy,” and he likes Caribou Barbie because she’s “cute” and “really speaks her mind and tells the truth.” Oy.

Have a good Friday.

UPDATE: Now that it appears the debate is on, the MS Chat Room will be open for Election 2008: Gramp v. Champ, debate #1. Be there, or be square.
