It seems a little embarrassing that this progressive idea had to come from a conservative source. While I've always wondered at the natural-born citizenship requirement for the presidency, I've never seen a serious suggestion that it be amended. Who could argue with that?

OK, another comment on the Encyclopedia link immediately below. I just flipped a virtual page and saw something that shot ice cream out my nose. Oh, how I wish I was making that up.

Practical Encyclopedia of Craptical Ideas - Have you seen this yet? It might hurt your eyes. Seriously deranged design schemes with occasionally brilliant commentary. "Fido threw up Smurfs all over the rug again!"

[LILEKS should be aware that the correct plural of Smurf is Smurves, but it's still funny.]

Amazon is getting ambitious. It's about time they set their sights higher.

Unbeatable Nazi bombs!

A "breakthrough'' in the battle against child pornography. And its sidekick, civil liberty.

Now this is funny. I love angry bike guys and gals. LOVE them!

Happy moment of the day: I learned that David Schmader is returning to pen The Stranger's Last Days column. No offense meant to his interim replacement, but he was irreplaceable.

Half my Xmas shopping is taken care of.

I got food poisoning or somesuch malady the other night. Getting home at 11pm, I felt a little nauseous and bloated, so I took some Pepto-Bismol and went to bed. I felt the same way a few hours later. My stomach had turned into an inert bag holding my hours-old dinner. I imagined that maybe I had died but hadn't yet realized it, then I wished that were true.

I'm all better now.

My liquor store is 200 steps from my front door.

Well, I didn't want to write anything about Pride, but I have been stunned into action. While running a couple of errands on Broadway after the parade, I saw not one, not two, but dozens of people wearing long chains around their necks. Rainbow chains. Thick links, like what you'd use to retrain a bear. (Reading that last sentence, I feel that I should recast it, but I'll let it stand.)

That's right - get out your wallets and fork over the cash, folks! What better way to celebrate Freedom Day - as it's called here - than to dress up in chains? Makes me wonder if there's going to be a big "Fag Bash" after-party. What happened to the smart, hip, fashion-conscious segment of the Queer Village? They left town for the weekend.

I was going to start crowing about how cool I am now that I'm using the neat-o Opera browser, but I can't enter new pitas entries in it. Oh, the rich irony.

But I do quite like it. Faster and sleeker than the Other Two, and much less crashier. Well, only a little less crashy than IE5, but I'll take it. If only I could figure out the pitas problem...

CD-eating fungus. CD-eating fungus. CD-eating fungus. CD-eating fungus. CD-eating fungus. Yeah!
