A rich person once sent me some porn, as a kind of thank you. Lemme tell you, rich people's porn is different from the porn the rest of us get.

VoteSwap2000 Ordered Off the Net by Cal. State Sec
2000-10-31 14:35:53
Bill Jones, the California State Secretary ordered Los Angles based VoteSwap2000 to shut down or face massive legal action. Not having a huge corporate legal department and fearful of the wrath of the State, the owners of VoteSwap2000 have complied with the order.
VoteSwap2000 allowed Nader votes in swing states to swap their votes with Gore voters in safe states. This according to Bill Jones, violates the California State Election code.
Quite frankly, this reporter is appalled that the electorate is not allowed to do what is done every single day in Sacramento. Horse trading for votes goes on continually at the state capital, but that's ok because our elective official are the elite. These officials "sell" their votes on legislators worth billions of dollars. And don't forgot all the corporate "lobbying" that goes on, where millions of dollars are given for "access" to legislators. Like that isn't BUYING votes.
However, if an ordinary citizen attempts to trade their vote, with no monetary gain what so ever, they face jail time. The hypocrisy of this situation is staggering, but seemingly becoming the norm in this age of multinational control of all things public and private.
Ignoring the galling infringement on the 1st Amendment this law has, it seems to me that ALL of our elective officials have been in violation of this statue numerous times and I call on the Secretary of State round them ALL up and throw them ALL in JAIL.
Fortunately, VoteSwap2000 is not the only place to trade your Nader vote for a Gore vote... should you want to.
I'm still voting for Nader cause Gore owned by the multinationals just as much as Bush is. But for those of you that see Gore as a slightly better alternative then Bush, you can still trade your votes at votexchange2000 and winwincampaign
Fuck the Man! Vote Your Way, Not His.

Spock Went, Spock Wrote, Spock Kicked Ass
Every Labor Day weekend a large portion of the PDJ staff joins 30,000 other freaks at one of the biggest and strangest art festivals in the world - Burning Man - somewhere on the edge of the Black Rock Desert. Our base of operations is always the ultra swank Spock Mountain Research Labs - the World Leaders in Beverage Science and Leisure Technology. This year, we hauled up our computers, printers and a massive digital duplicator, determined to become Black Rock City's third daily newspaper. Even Spock was surprised by our success - news will never be viewed the same on the playa. Read all seven issues of the 2002 Spock Science Monitor for yourself and see why. (More...)

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
