Personally I think it is a shitty suggestion... and since this is America... I don't have to justify my reasons.

Night of the Lenin Dead
1999-08-04 09:43:06
Boy, those Russians sure know how to throw a funeral. More than 75 years after his death, the body of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Bolshevik hero of the 1917 Russian Revolution, will finally be removed from the Moscow building where it has lain in state since 1924 and buried.
Of course, this has really ticked off some of the remaining old-timey communists in Boris Yeltsin's New Russia, and talk has turned to how to prevent zealots from stealing the Old Man's body before they can dig a hole and toss it in. Rumor has it that Yeltsin has ordered some of his men to do a "Weekend at Bernie's" thing and dress Lenin up in sunglasses and a Hawaiian shirt and weave him through the streets of Moscow, telling everyone who will listen that "our friend seems to have had too much of the vodka."
You'd think Lenin would be really smelly after all these years, but apparently he's fresh as a daisy! Almost, anyway. Russian scientists, working under Communist Party edict, invented super secret embalming technology over the years to keep Lenin together. He almost looks real, except for the fact that he looks like a zombie about to rise out of the grave.
I think it's a good idea to bury Lenin, because I am against Zombie Presidents. But that's just my opinion.

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.

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...)
