2. These images (via Gateway Pundit) are much nicer than these images. Freedom for Egyptians comments on Gateway Pundit's site:

   On the picture with the child:
   Today, I read a statement by Dr. Rice, hailing the Iraqi victory and she said about the Iraqi parents taking their children to vote: “When you saw these parents with their little kids dipping their fingers in the inkwell, you know that these are parents who don't want their children to be suicide bombers. They want their children to go to university and grow up and become doctors and lawyers and maybe go into politics, some of them.”
   
   It is beautiful!

5. Chickenfoot (via). Best I can tell, it's sort of like Greasemonkey, but at a higher level of abstraction.

   Chickenfoot is a tool that puts a programming environment in Firefox so you can write scripts to manipulate web pages and automate web browsing. In Chickenfoot, scripts are written in a superset of Javascript that includes special functions specific to web tasks.

   How Chickenfoot differs from Greasemonkey.
