I see that U.S. White House Director of Communications Ari Fleischer is retiring from his post: "There's this tremendous opening right now in Iraq," he gushed, "I have to jump on it before somebody else gets it. They're big shoes to fill, but I'm sure I can do the job."

The Debian Mentors page has a wonderful quote: "Ignoring this [advice] may cause panic attacks, rage and finally insight." I wonder if advice on good security practices would be better heeded if it was accompanied by promises of "in-depth education in your spare time" instead of just break-ins.
