thank goddess.

I don't read newspapers anymore (too depressing) but I did see an
Oregonian headline saying Bush, interviewed at his Texas ranch, says
he's in no hurry to invade Iraq.  (now).

Now he says... "I'm thinking about it."   Way to save face.  I hope.

you can't deny that was an excellent photo op.  And remember: the
Pentagon did levitate.  Or so some say.  Others try to deny.

What I think is funny is Abbie Hoffman negotiated with the Pentagon's
General Services Administrator "to be permitted to levitate the
Pentagon only 3 meters instead of the planned 90 meters."

When I was 14 I read all the Abbie Hoffman writings I could find...
I was fascinated by all his collection of "ways to live for free"
which included spoofing change machines and pay phones...

he was not just an activist, he was a founding phreak!
