The fact that you are arguing with yourself is far more interesting.

Yet More Humongous Bullshit From Congress
2000-10-12 13:28:59
Well, this shouldn't be too surprising: your Federal government is once again trying to trample any rights you might have on-line. I'm getting sick of writing these damn articles, people! Fucking fuck!
OK, so at the end of this article is a link to an ACTION ALERT about a new bill, S 2516 , the so-called Fugitive Apprehension Act of 2000, which would give U.S. Marshalls sweeping powers to subpoena electronic records without notification. Yet AGAIN, the Feds are trying to be able to stomp all over your privacy with hobnailed jackboots. When will it stop? When? When?
Now, if this Fugitive Apprehension Act were about finding HARRISON FORD and kicking his ass, man, I'd be all for it. But it's really about the Feds being able to rifle through all your info (bank records, etc.) WITHOUT a warrant and WITHOUT any supervision. In other words, it's really the Federal Fuck-With-Bad-People Act of 2000, and therefore it must be stopped.
[What the fuck do the U.S. Marshalls DO, anyways? How are they different from the FBI? What about the ATF? Why do we have so many Federal cops in this country?]
So, go read this action alert (written by libbertarians, by the way) and then call your congressional Representative and tell them NO on S 2516! No no no! OK, cool. Oh, wait! Send your friends a link to this article, too, so they go fight for justice and freedom, too. OK, do that.

Clowns Take on God in Mysterious Annual Ceremony
Last Sunday's (the 6th) Grimaldi Service at a small church in East London was a red-letter day for clowns worldwide. About a hundred old-school red-nosed clowns made the sombre trip to darkest Dalston to pay their respects to clowns who died in the last year and to thank God for the gift of laughter in a bizarre ceremony presided over by the eccentric Reverend Clown Roly, resplendent in a garish red lumberjack shirt with oversized gold lapels.

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.
