Many of you will remember the black and white video for Subterranean Homesick Blues with Bob holding the stack of signs, tossing them away as the lyrics rolled on. Now you can put your own message on those signs.

I know y'all think I make this shit up, but I don't.

Chinese scientists will use satellite technology to peep on the sexual antics of the highly endangered giant pandas, Xinhua news agency said.
The US$660,000 (372,165 pounds) joint project between two Chinese and U.S.-based zoological institutes would use global positioning (GPS) to keep an eye on giant pandas and their mating behaviour deep in the wilds of a nature reserve in central Shaanxi province.

Remember this? Helen Thomas reporting in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer on October 15, 2003:

President Bush recently gave an hour-long exclusive interview to Fox TV anchor Brit Hume, who tossed him a series of softball questions.
Among them, Bush was asked how he gets his news. Answer: He relies on briefings by chief of staff Andrew Card and national security affairs adviser Condoleezza Rice.
He walks into the Oval Office in the morning, Bush said, and asks Card: "What's in the newspapers worth worrying about? I glance at the headlines just to kind of (get) a flavor of what's moving," Bush said. "I rarely read the stories," he said.
Instead, the president continued, he gets "briefed by people who have probably read the news themselves." Rice, on the other hand, is getting the news "directly from the participants on the world stage."

How is that strategy working out? Read More

I received the following email from a friend of mine's dad. My friend doesn't have Internet access - his dad sometimes sends family pix and stuff, nothing political until now. Anyway, I'm busily putting together my reply, scouring DKos and other sites for devastating refutations. In the words of our President, it's hard work. =) Any help would be appreciated. Read More

This was originally posted as a comment on badtux's diary. Once I posted and realized how long it was, I decided to post it as a diary. Thanks to badtux for inspiring me.

I live in Lafayette, LA. We have several thousand evacuees in our local arena, the Cajundome. In my community, the rumors began to spread on Thursday of last week. I was working in the courthouse of Acadia Parish in Crowley that day (I do real estate abstracting) when I first heard the rumors. According to the scuttlebutt, "those people" were running amok in Lafayette. Carjackings. Burglaries. Rape at the Cajundome. Numerous businesses robbed - grocery stores, gas stations, a gun store. I called my wife at work - she had heard the same - a few even more blood-curdling - stories. I called my office - ditto. Guess what? Those rumors were false. Read More

We keep hearing from politicians on both sides of the aisle that now is not the time to point fingers and play the blame game. OK then, in the spirit of civility, and playing nice, I won't. I'll just pass along some information from some of our major news outlets from the past few days. Read More

Billmon has put together a very insightful post highlighting the Feds' response to the three hurricanes in Florida in the second half of last year. The difference between those responses and what occurred last week is shocking. Why so quick and efficient last year in Florida, and so inept and slow this year in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana? Read More

Yesterday I posted a message on my Everquest guild's website, encouraging my fellow gamers to donate to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. (I linked to RenaRF's excellent diary.)

As expected, my friends responded generously, and tonight there was a reply from a wonderful lady in Charlotte, NC that I want to share with you. Read More

From Jesus' General:

Praise the Lord. Tom DeLay is putting together a war room to fight the demonic forces who are trying to destroy him. It's going to be a formidable operation. The Hammer recruited some of the most vicious political operators around to run it. Chief among them is Mr. Wu, former boss of Deadwood's Celestial District, who DeLay tapped to run his shop.
