NEWSFLASH:

DEMOCRACY ALIVE AND WELL, THANKS TO NOWAK

Princeton, NJ (AP) The right of americans to vote was almost destroyed by
S Abbot not too long ago, when he posted a "joke" to talk.bizarre, a vile
and satanic computer network dedicated to underming the american way. 
However, Greg Nowak lept forward in defense of voting rights for republicans,
because, as he said, he is "concerned about preserving your ability to vote".
While fascists everywhere mourned this defeat, God-fearing Americans [TM]
can rest easy, thanks to greg.

Ahhhh, *THE*  Tastee Diner in Bethesda?
I was just there Sunday moring at about
3 am.  I was with a friend of mine and
we sat in a booth next to the front door.

I watched this woman sitting alone at the 
counter wearing leather pants put so much 
salt on her food that my mouth started to water.
About ten minutes later I watched two high school
kids beat the pulp out of one another.  
All in all, not a bad night.  The food
had me pissing out of my ass on sunday
morning though.(of course that had nothing
to do with all of the ale I had quaffed)

As much as I hate making a serious remark in t.b., I can't agree with this
most likely sarcastic comment unless we can come up with safety equipment that
can flawlessly judge accident fault.  Too many times the drunken
idiot stumbles away unhurt, while the helpless family is splattered all
over the interior.

I'd give you some kind of bullshit story about how my brothers and sisters
and cousins and children and wives were all slaughtered by drunk drivers,
but that's not true. (They were eaten by cannibals while vacationing in
New Jersey.)

The problem is that many times the worst injuries are sustained by
the least-at-fault. This would defeat the natural selection mechanism. 

How about a breath-alyzer that makes a 3-foot titanium spike pop
out of the steering column instead of an airbag, in case of an
accident?

Yeah, it's so sad.  Why, all I managed to do this summer was visit Paris,
Pisa, Rome, Florence, Luxembourg and Brussels.  If I'd travelled by car
instead of being trapped by public transport, I could have got as far as the
French lorry drivers' blockades just outside Paris.  What a missed
opportunity.

Well, there are some places even in the US where you can get by without a
car.  My impression was that using the T beats driving in Boston any day.

Indeed.

In the laissez-faire days, from the Gilded Age to the Jazz Age,
unvarnished capitalism and uncontrolled development nearly wiped
out these great monuments to the American landscape.  Unscrupulous
developers polluted and demolished their native habitat in the
lowlands and bridges; sport hunters set traps along rails and left
the carcasses of their prey to rust in the swamps, taking only the
prized cowcatchers; more commercially-minded harvesters netted trains
en masse in their always-tiny breeding ground, the Switching Yards
of North Jersey, and sold their corpses for scrap.

By 1930, the species stood on the verge of extinction.  The great naturalist
Charles Loren Sibley estimated the train population of the entire North
American continent to be no more than 100.  Sibley noted, though, that the
European species was thriving, and he proposed a program of importation and
captive breeding.

Fortunately, with the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1932, the
economic climate in America changed, and the Federal Government was able
to enact protective measures that would previously have been impossible.
Breeding grounds were set off-limits and stiff penalties enacted against
poaching.  Developers in sensitive areas were required to file environmental
impact statements.

Trains breed slowly; but, now, they are starting to come back.  The curious
traveler can visit the Switching Yards, now a national park just outside
Newark, and see hundreds of trains in the nesting season, which lasts from
June to October.  Naturalists at the Smithsonian estimate that over 10,000
trains currently survive in the American wild, and hopefully the trend will
continue.

I found myself forced into the position of having to write the
word "Womyn" (a feminist declaration of how to take the men out of
"women", so to speak).  In anycase, MS Word 4.0 suggested "wormy"
as the correct spelling.  I had to agree.

Unfortunately, the copy editor caught it.  Damn.
