Wed, 09 Feb 2005 :: Ligers' are pretty much my favorite animals...
Another thing Napolean Dynamite was right about.Ligers do exist
People keep sending me cat based humor.
Cat's can't laugh. Is that why people think they're funny?
First up: this cat hates Dick Cheney.
Next: a cat based screen saver.

FAIR(Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting)'s newsmagazine has a cover story entitled The Emperor's New Hump, or "The New York Times killed a story that could have changed the election?because it could have changed the election".
It says, in part:
That the story hadn?t gotten more serious treatment in the mainstream press was largely thanks to a well-organized media effort by the Bush White House and the Bush/Cheney campaign to label those who attempted to investigate the bulge as "conspiracy buffs" (Washington Post, 10/9/04).
In an era of pinched budgets and an equally pinched notion of the role of the Fourth Estate, the fact that the Kerry camp was offering no comment on the matter?perhaps for fear of earning a "conspiracy buff" label for the candidate himself?may also have made reporters skittish. Jeffrey Klein, a founding editor of Mother Jones magazine, told Mother Jones (online edition, 10/30/04) he had called a number of contacts at leading news organizations across the country, and was told that unless the Kerry campaign raised the issue, they couldn?t pursue it.
To me, this passes the conspiracy nut job test, cause as I've said before, real conspiracies are just a few powerful people trying to cheat in the most banal, and usually ham-fisted, way. It's not elaborate or especially complicated, AND it was pretty obvious. And it was done for the stupidest of reasons, because Rove or whoever thought "the rules don't apply to us."
in other news, Hackers edit php websites with rude pictures of Bush, unfortunately aimed at the entirely wrong target.
The hackers replaced the phpbb.com front page with a picture of U.S. President George Bush's head pasted onto the body of a monkey and a message in Portuguese advocating that people use their lives to make others happy and to appreciate flowers. The hackers, calling themselves the Simiens Crew, are apparently from Brazil and were protesting against Bush.
I assume they thought all americans, especially open-source programers just lurv Bush.
That said, I can get behind their maifesto, plus it's got monkeys!
