CULT OF GAIA: Laugh While You Can

Ted Koppel Needs This!

    Remember when Nightline was called The Iran Crisis: America Held Hostage? Right up until Day 444 and the October Surprise, at the beginning of every broadcast, Ted Koppel helpfully informed us that it was "Day ___ of the Hostage Crisis in Iran."
    We were thinking how nice it would have been if, each day since September 11, 2001, we'd had such a reliable reminder of how many days Osama bin Laden has run free. Ted hasn't been much help this time around, but thanks to the miracle of the internet, we have it anyway! It's a neat little script you can insert into your HTML, and it shows up like this:

    A plain text file of that script is here. It's in the public domain, so if you want to put it on your own site or blog, go for it.

Finally, Some Politics We Can Take Seriously
If you're not familiar with Robert Anton Wilson, we can't begin to catch you up. For those who are, you'll not be suprised to find his hand in yet another brilliantly Illuminated Agitprophilariousness. If California and all the rest of us won't secede, well, that won't be 'cause the Guns and Dope party didn't politely advise us to. Their party motto: "May we Suggest, EVERYBODY FOR PRESIDENT!"
A sample is their Party Position Paper #23:

    Little Tony was sitting on a park bench munching on one candy bar after another.
    After the sixth candy bar, a man on the bench across from him said, "Son, you know that eating all that candy isn't good for you. It will give you acne, rot your teeth, and make you fat."
    Little Tony replied, "My grandfather lived to be a hundred and seven years old."
    The man asked, "Did your grandfather eat six candy bars at a time?"
    Little Tony answered, "No, he minded his own fucking business."

They stand for guns for those who want guns, and no guns for those who don't want guns, drugs for those who want drugs, and no drugs for those who don't, voluntary taxation, and an end to the Tsarist Occupational Government. The addition of the brilliant proposition that we replace a portion of Congress with ostriches makes this a political party you'll want to attend.

We're not going to spoil the surprise. Just go there. Please understand that we are in no way suggesting you actually BUY one of these things... but, really....

What would you bet they're made in China?
