Nader Takes Pie In Face
“Ralph Nader was speaking at an event to endorse the Green Party’s Peter Camejo for California governor ‘when a man ran into the room where he was speaking, forced a pie in his face, and made a quick exit,’ Reuters reports.
Maybe it was Al Gore?”

It’s getting SO hard to do satire, Chapter 87
From Daily Kos:
“Fox sues Franken over “fair and balanced”.
I’m late to the party so you probably already know this, but Fox News Channel has sued Al Franken for using the phrase “Fair and Balanced” in his new book, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right.
What’s funny about this whole escapade is that Fox giving Franken more free publicity than any publisher could ever hope to buy, even after accounting for legal fees.”

Worm to Bill Gates, stop being a greedhead
“A new worm is spreading rapidly across the Internet, and experts warn that it may already have latched onto hundreds of thousands of computers, with more sure to be infected.
Text found within the worm’s code seems to speak directly to Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates: “Billy Gates why do you make this possible? Stop making money and fix your software”.

Dag nab those Texans
Texas keeps trying to steal back the political nutcase crown from California. Well, they can’t have it!
In case you’ve missed this particular piece of political psychodrama, Republicans in the Texas legislature keep trying to ram through a redistricting plan that would - completely fairly in their view no doubt - give them all power and seats in the state legislature forever and ever, and the Democrats can go suck drilling rig mud if they want to get whiny about it.
Well, you gotta hand it to the Texas Democrats. They’ve done more than just complain. They’ve hightailed it out of the state *twice* now, forcing the legislature to shut down because there wasn’t quorum.
The Republican governor has huffed and puffed and threatened them with “sanctions” if they didn’t return quickly. All to no avail, as yesterday, the Texas Supreme Court told the Gov to go suck that drilling machine mud as he has no legal power to force the Democrats to return, or do much of anything else, for that matter.
All in all a masterful piece of street theatre by the Democrats who simultaneously have made worldwide headlines, gotten their point across quite nicely thank you, and as a special added bonus, made the Republicans look like Daffy Duck having a temper tantrum.
So, well done Texas, you are an inspiration! But you can’t have the political nutcase crown. It belongs to California. Because nothing, and I repeat nothing, can trump our upcoming recall election for inspired lunacy, massive dysfunctionality, and a wondrous sense that while yes, the wheels do appear to be coming off rather quickly now, we can certainly “embrace the chaos” as it happens.
(Seriously folks, with politics in California and Texas reaching these Looney Tunes levels, I’m getting the feeling the wheels really are coming off - or that we’re building up to something Major. This is not business as usual…)

California recall and 2004 links
I’ve added two blogrolls, California Recall (candiates and news) and 2004 Presidential campaign (Dean and Kucinich so far). They’re in the right hand column a bit below the Google search.
While you’re at it, check the Google ads at the top of the right hand column, and click ones that interest you! We get a modest sum each time an ad is clicked.
