Golkar would be a great name for a villian in a cartoon.

Golkar: You haven’t seen the last of me yet, Suharto! *shakes his fist and limps away*

I don’t know exactly how this impacts anything, but I do know that mayo causes negative normal stress if I find it on my sandwich.

Microsoft is licensing Hotmail spam.

What I’m getting from this story is that it is hopeless to expect NASA to send me to Mars.

After changing the stadium names to things that roll off the tongue like “Qualcom Stadium” it naturally follows that things like this are coming.

I actually saw a John Kerry bumper sticker this morning. It’s the first one I’ve seen in Idaho. It was on a Jetta with a couple of bikes on the top and a couple of old hippies in it. The only thing I can figure out is that they must have been visiting from Sandpoint.

The Techno-cosmic Mass. I have read some of Original Blessings, and Fox is nutty. Or if you prefer, Fox is a New-Ager that calls himself a Christian. Why anyone else would consider him a Christian is beyond me.

Some math major has kept his gas receipts for the last 25 years and plotted them and adjusted for inflation for you. Nifty, but it doesn’t make me feel better about paying $1.95/gallon.
