Ha!
Stuff I’ve Learned from the World Wide Web
February 7, 2003Really. Until this last couple of years, when I began spending serious time on the ‘net, I didn’t know:
- The meaning of the word ‘realpolitik’.
- What a ‘circle jerk’ is. (Well, gosh, all I knew was the band.)
- That ‘hummer’ is another term for ‘blow job’.
- That there is some mini-skirt-wearing dame named Ann who is a best-selling author of far-rightwing blather. Apparently her footnotes are a lot of hooey.
- That there is a small, but net savvy, subculture of people out there who like to dress in animal costumes for fun, some of whom have erotic attachments to plush toys or who have sexual relations wearing said costumes.
- Libertarians own the internet.

#6: Aliens have strange diets. Aliens may not be able to digest most human foods. Because of this, they are limited in the types of foods they can eat, and they may become vegetarians. Watch out for people who eat a lot of melons — that’s an alien favorite.
Well, now you know.
Saddam’s Secret Weapon
January 19, 2003BAGHDAD — Widespread rumors that Iraqi madman Saddam Hussein has signed a sinister pact with the Devil appear to have been confirmed — when a photograph surfaced showing the brutal dictator shaking hands with a horned figure with flaming-red skin!
The bizarre photo was purportedly taken in late October by a former Hussein henchman, Lt. Col. Ali Mazhar, who defected to Kuwait and passed the picture on to the CIA.
Chillingly, Lt. Col. Mazhar claims that in the contract, Satan guarantees “complete and total victory over the United States.”

So much for that image of Economists as ’stuffy’.
Maybe you should elect ME
January 11, 2003So I spent a little bit of time playing around with Nathan’s Budget Simulator this evening … in the end, I managed a 10 billion dollar surplus, while slightly increasing spending for social services, environmental protection, & education. And, no, I did not cut Defense.
Hmmmm. This is much easier than the Administration & Congress would have us believe. All you really have to do is, reduce the 2001 tax cut. It isn’t necessary to eliminate it entirely – just reduce it a bit. Try it yourself, and see if I’m wrong.
Interesting, no?
