POPSMake your own fonts! Charles Andermack, a font designer who works under the nom de lettres Chank Diesel, likes to brag that one of his custom fonts has been sitting at the top of the New York Times best-seller list. He created Truck King, the font used to typeset “Jon Scieszka’s Trucktown Smash! Crash!” an illustrated book about trucks. Mr. Andermack’s design firm, Chank Fonts (chank.com), builds custom fonts for advertisers, book designers or corporations looking to capture a special look or style. While Mr. Andermack’s fees can run into the tens of thousands of dollars for full families of fonts with all the diacritical marks and permutations, he can turn anyone’s handwriting into a font for $200. These custom fonts, also available from other sites like vletter.com, are popular not only with scrapbookers but also with professionals like real estate agents who want to add a personal touch to their letters.

POPSMcCain's Ass-Kissing Gets Ridiculous That's right, everyone on Team McCain has been a Hillary-backer all along! Baghdad Johnny's blog guru Michael Goldfarb stops just short of saying he would've dropped out if Hillary got the nom. He's that desperate for ex-Clinton voters. If you're thinking of backing McCain, ask yourself this question -- does the McCain campaign think you're stupid or do they hope you're stupid? Seriously, it's got to be one or the other.

POPSClinton Supporters Unhappy with FL, MI Compromises When Ickes says Clinton "reserves the right" to take this to the credentials committee, he's not saying she will. If that's what he meant, that's what he would've said. I come away from that thinking the decision hasn't been made yet. Other reports have Clinton "resigned" to losing the nom.
