Someone please entertain our faithful readers for the next couple weeks. actually all of our faithful readers should just come to burningman. I’ll be in DeMaTerial camp at 4:30 and A.

Today's Fun Fackt: FEAR!!!

Currently Reading: The Assault on Reason by Al Gore

Apparently people are willing to pay more for flight insurance that covers death by terrorism than for death by any means. This is particularly interesting since death by *any means* would cover death by terrorism.

It seems that we’ve become the slaves of buzzwords and I find it just as disturbing that people are willing masters in this twisted relationship to make a buck.

Furry Harbinger of Death

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Oscar the cat seems to have an uncanny knack for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die, by curling up next to them during their final hours. His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. It usually means they have less than four hours to live.

Satire to take 4 Day Weekend…

Republican Sen. Ted Stevens, whose home back in Alaska was raided by federal investigators Monday in a wide-ranging corruption investigation, has threatened to place a hold on the Democratic-drafted ethics legislation just passed by the House and expected on the Senate floor by week’s end.

The senator told a closed session of fellow Republicans today, including Vice President Dick Cheney, that he was upset that the measure would interfere with his travel to and from Alaska — and vowed to block it.

wait, wait!! the guy who’s being busted for BRIBERY is blocking an ethics bill!?!? I would have fallen out of my chair if I wasn’t sitting in a giant yellow overstuffed beanbag chair. Remember: the only reason this has the opportunity to be funny is because democrats control congress.
