So, Team Chimpy wants to see everything you and I have been searching for in Google?

Fine.

This is the Fourth Amendment in the Bill of Rights:

I’ve typed that into a Google search box, bookmarked the resulting URL, and made it my browser’s home page.

So now, anytime I open a new window, I leave the government a little
reminder of how someone feels about this whole new era of rigged
elections, warrantless searches, torture, detention without trial, and
smearing of critics as traitors.

All this really does right now is make me feel better.  But if millions of people decide to make this link a constant habit, we’d make our point right in the data itself.

Just a thought.

Not a pudu, but competitively adorable. In Port Macquarie, there’s an animal hospital that cares for koalas which have been hit by cars, attacked by dogs, caught in wildfires, or otherwise made to suffer for being a nearly-motionless puffball with questionable motor skills.
Sweet retired ladies with a lot of patience spend their days helping the little guys back to health, providing them with medications and dressings for their wounds and even feeding them by hand. I could have watched this for days.

You shouldn’t drive for a while after seeing this, because you’ll be groggy from the cuteness.

And with it being mating season and all, bringing horny little koalas down from the trees to scramble around the neighborhood looking for partners… inattentive driving would just create a vicious circle.

PS — none of the koalas I met actually hate Qantas. I asked.

So this new Bin Laden tape, of uncertain date, makes explicit threats of an impending attack on the United States.

But the Homeland Security threat meter hasn’t moved a bit.  Still yellow.

Interesting.

So, um…

Either Bin Laden’s tape doesn’t actually mean there’s any new threat, and all the foam on TV about it is (this just in!) propaganda, or the Homeland Security thingy is (this just in!) merely propaganda.

I just want to know which crap is crappiest.

Of course, there’s exactly one other logical possibility: both.

Will take a bit to get back up to speed here.

Meanwhile, here’s what all the cool kids are doing these days: extreme wheelbarrowing.

PS — interesting to note that the Poll Of The Day has hung there unchanged for so long that it’s suddenly current again.
