Pleasure Boat Captains for Truth want to expose the facts about George W. Bush's partying days.

We, the men who were served drinks alongside George W. Bush, have partied with real party animals-- on the shores of Lake Tahoe, up and down the Gulf of Mexico, in the harbors of Kennebunkport. We have seen good men down a dozen kamikazes, and then swim once more onto the beach. We have watched the buzzed and brightest of our generation play beer pong until they were bent double, like beggars under sacks. We have known these party animals, and we have partied with them.

And George W. Bush is no party animal.

I'm ashamed. How can I show my face in foreign countries as an American, given the fact that my president is a lightweight? How embarassing. I guess it makes sense when you figure that cocaine was his drug of choice in college. He probably just wasn't a big drinker. It's still just a shame that he's both an idiot, and at the same time he can't hold his liquor.

I stumbled onto Alan Watts' astonishing essay about his experiences with psychedelics while on a web surfing trip which started when I looked up Karl Marx quotes on WikiQuote. I think it went something like this:
Karl Marx --> Conflict Theory --> Sociology --> Psychology --> addiction --> Tanha --> Four Noble Truths --> Buddhism --> Zen --> Alan Watts...and from there I hit the Alan Watts mother lode. I love the internet.

Another McSweeney's list, this one for Dave. I expect you to use each of these items at work next week, Dave. Especially the one about the bears.

I'm posting a link to this McSweeney's list for my wrestling-fan roomates. Enjoy, kids.

I know John Kerry likes to make a big deal about his three Purple Hearts. What about Dubya's medals?

Mom always told me that sugar was poison. I took it with a grain of salt, but this page endorses that notion wholeheartedly. Interesting. Hyperbole, or fact?

Jaws in 30 Seconds With Bunnies is the fifth installment in the "In 30 Seconds With Bunnies" series. Be sure to check out The Exoricst, The Shining, Titanic, and Alien.

I'd like to give a big shout out to the Washington Post for pointing out that now that Dubya is on the campaign trail and forced to speak unscripted, he's still dumb. Why isn't the fact that our President is profoundly retarded making the domestic press? Embarassment? I guess I could understand it if it boils down to simple shame.

Wired News unleashes a style change: they will no longer capitalize the words 'web', 'net', and 'internet'. I say it's about time.

But in the case of internet, web and net, a change in our house style was necessary to put into perspective what the internet is: another medium for delivering and receiving information. That it transformed human communication is beyond dispute. But no more so than moveable type did in its day. Or the radio. Or television.

I found an interesting piece on the history of money today. Who knew that for decades, clam shells were legal tender in New England? Not I.

I'm currently staying at the Valley River Inn. It hasn't been an eventful week until tonight, when I discovered that future President John Kerry is staying at the hotel. I found this out after meeting several police officers patrolling the area, which is not something I expected when I checked in.

Ok, let me clarify. There are police everywhere. Shayla and her associates are here and we are celebrating, but it doesn't compare to the rally that seems to be taking place outside. There is something serious going down. People are cheering and making all kinds of noise. It's crazy. This is actually my second brush with Kerry, my first one being at Pioneer square in Portland, where I also ran into Howard Dean. It was funny to hear the denizens of Portland cheering on a Kerry/Dean ticket. Like that would happen...C'est la vie, I'll still vote for Bush Lite. I really like his One-Point Plan for America.

...to the term "couch potato".

I'm going to reference this link any time a girls complains about being overweight. How did she get stuck in her couch?

This is for those special days when two levels of nested emulation just won't cut it.

Finally, someone has offered a proof (several, in fact) of what I've suspected for years: All odd numbers are prime!

Bush let loose with what is either very humorous or disturbingly truthful:

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we," Bush said. "They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

Blogdex led me to the Dubya Soundboard, which I used to make a conversation between the President and the Governor of California.

If you want to be a good employee and respect the company firewall, do not read the information on this page. Do not learn how to set up your own proxy server at home using Apache and Putty. That would be bad, m'kay?

Snake3D is a new take on the old Snake game...in 3D! Just in case you weren't completely cracked out on the game, this will make it more entertaining as you watch precious moments of your life slip away.

I was considering going with a vote for Dubya just to be controversial and also to enrage all my friends...but I've decide dto vote for Cthulu in '04. I'm going to campaign to get him on the ballot in Oregon because it will steal votes from Bush, just like Nader will steal votes from Kerry.
