Quote of the day: For George W. Bush, by contrast, the message of any development, bad or good, is: Let's party! During the campaign, he called for tax cuts on the grounds that prosperity was generating more tax revenue than the government deserved. Now that prosperity is in some doubt, Bush's recommendation is …? Why, tax cuts, of course. Mad cow disease turns half the population into human sponges? Tax cuts. The second coming of our lord Jesus Christ? What better way to mark the occasion than by cutting taxes? From Michael Kinsley @ slate. Tuesday, January 30, 2001

This is surprisingly good actually- Who would have thought that anyone would come up with an Adolescent Poetry Generator, much less one that did a passable job. And I don't even really like poetry. Monday, January 22, 2001
The title of this article almost sounds like something from The Onion. Unfortunately it's not a joke. UN Sees Faster Global Warming, Humanity Responsible What happened to several years ago, when concern about fluorocarbons and the ozone was all the rage? Nobody seems to be saying anything about it now, or pressuring governments/organizations to release fewer ozone depleting chemicals into the atmosphere. I guess being concerned about the greenhouse effect is no longer in vogue. The problem with this is that the ozone will continue to vanish whether saving it is in vogue or not, and ultimately we will all suffer significantly from it's absence. Ah well. Ya reap what ya sew I guess.
