01/16/2004 01:02 PM
Too bad O'Neil is backtracking on
his accounts of the Bush administration. His words matched my
expectation of
Bush perfectly. When Bush got elected, I expected him to look
for excuses to attack
Iraq. And I would have been surprised if he paid attention to
anything other
than the Bible and the picture of Saddam Hussein after he got to
the White House.
Baloonfoot indeed.
I think O'Neil spoke the truth and now he is acting like a
chicken. The sad
thing is that I am not surprised. Only thing missing is Osama
bin Laden announcing
that he attacked America because he learned of a secret plot by
Bush to invade and
occupy Iraq. Sheesh. I'll bet Arnold the Terminator
would make a much
better President than Bush.
BTW, check out the 30 second ads at Bush
in 30 Seconds site even if you are pro-Bush. Ads
oversimplify as usual but they
are hillarious and very well done. I am impressed.

07/10/2004 02:43 PMSunjit Kumar of Suva, Fiji, was raised by chickens. As a young boy,
his grandfather locked him in a chicken coop where he lived for
several years. After Kumar escaped, he was taken to an old age home
where the baffled staff confined him for twenty years. Now though,
Elizabeth Clayton, president of a Rotary Club in Fiji's capital city,
has, er, taken Kumar under her wing.
"Sujit would mostly hop around like a chicken, peck at
his food, perch like a chicken and make noises like a chicken," she
said. "He would prefer to roost on the floor to go to sleep rather
than sleep in a bed."
Kumar currently resides in a former factory while undergoing therapy.

Ms. Jardin, Though you might be intereested in this tidbit. I got a
phone call from International Communications Research (ICR) for a
survey yesterday. Buried among the questions about credit counseling
services, political affiliation, and consumption of coffee, tobacco,
and fast food products, I got this series of questions.
"Do you have an Internet connection? Have you ever visited the website
subservientchicken.com? Would you visit it again?"
These were followed up by questions about the BK Tendercrisp Sandwich
and their low-carb menu. Looks like they're looking to evaluate the
potency of their stealth marketing campaign.

03/14/2003 08:39 PM Dixie Chicks Pulled from Air After Bashing
Bush Dude, these Texas people didn't find criticism of the
president unpatriotic when Bill Clinton was president. They thought it
was a sacred duty...Apparently country stations in Texas and elsewhere
are pulling Dixie Chicks albums because their lead singer, while on an
overseas tour, criticized Bush, saying she was ashamed to be from the
state as him.
People who want to criticize the critics of the critical comments are
supporting the Chicks by buying their albums and requesting their
songs.
I never thought I'd buy a
Dixie
Chicks album, but that's what I'm going to do tonight, and I'm
paying full price!

scale reproductions of actual historical Japanese automatons, and the
videos are stunning.
Greg sez: "Following the link to Gakken's toy site mentioned in
your recent post regarding the phonograph kit, I was excited to see a
working model of the bow-shooting boy (hiki douji kara kuri ningyou).
Be sure to check out the video.
During a recent trip to Japan, I saw a television show about about
these--no, not the toys, the original automatons. (The real one is
much larger than this model.) I was amazed at the complexity of that
machine. I am even more amazed that they have replicated the function
in a tiny model that costs only $100! Link

This is one of the most effective pieces of political advocacy I've
ever seen. Ben Cohen, the Ben of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, narrates a
short Flash movie for TrueMajority.org, in which he explains -- using
Oreo cookies -- the way that the federal budget is currently
apportioned, and how little rearrangement would be necessary to renew
all of America's social programs. The examples are vivid and charming,
and the logic is compelling.
The only thing I'd change is adding a fast-forward, pause and rewind
button. I wanted to refer back to specific sections of the movie, and
the "play all the way through" interface really frustrated me (just
taking this screenshot was really hard).

called "Flowers for Al and Don," in which people donated money for
flowers to be delivered to gay and lesbian couples awaiting marriage
on the steps of the San Francisco Courthouse. The effort was a signal
success. Darren sez:
As you guys covered this (and helped promote it) back in February, I
just thought you'd be interested to hear the final results.
Ultimately, we raised US $14,312.28. We delivered US $11,542.28 worth
of flowers, and donated the remainder to two related and deserving
charities--Lambda Legal and the Gay and Lesbian Rights Project at the
ACLU.
