I am soooooo tight with a buck that all the bills in my wallet have pained

   well, once again, i find it hard to think of the government getting

Yes, you can be sure their (banks) attorneys read the CFR and give input.

Here are some gleanings for you, Akio, direct from Pedant's Corner:

8) Matthew Rothschild/Slick Willie

Matthew Rothschild edits _The Progressive_, a left-leaning journal
of opinion founded by Wisconsin politico Robert LaFollette.  I don't
know what LaFollette published in it; under Rothschild it has
survived the collapse of Communism by getting worked up about
conditions in prisons, criticisms of the welfare system, and other
topics where it's easier to wax indignant about problems than to
solve the problems.  He penned an article complaining that Bill
Clinton was moving the Democratic Party to the right, and objected
that in his view, going over the cliff at 30 mph isn't much better
than going over the cliff at 60 mph.  "Slick Willie" is a nickname
the Republicans have attempted to hang on Bill Clinton.

20) NSW government/XPT train (Carolyn)

>   XPT train - Australian imitation of high-speed French trains. I'm not sure
> where this label originated, but I have heard it referred to as "eXtra-fast
> Passenger Transport/Train". The speeds they are supposed to be capable of are
> never realised on our antiquated railway lines.

To my eye, they're imitations of British Rail's High Speed Trains.

31) FAA (Karen)

    	Federal Aviation Administration -- governs everything having to do
> with airline travel here in the U.S.

Certifies pilots and airplanes.  Operates the air traffic control
system.  Investigates crashes.  Has no authority over fares, routes,
or service.  If an airline misplaces your bags, or doesn't have the
low-salt diet you requested, the FAA cannot help you.

I appreciated your first posting, Mka.  It made sense to me that you

character different from your own indiana.edu address.  Since I had
already used (successfully) the address Graham gave, my reply was that
it worked fine.  That was not intended to imply that you were plotting
against the list by furnishing false info.  :-)

Speaking of moose, I forgot to report last night that Brave Doggykins
tucked his tail and started shaking when the MSU air balloon floated
over our house late yesterday making strange puffing noises...  so much
for his help in protecting me against wild meese...  and so much for my
thought of seeing if I could take him for a ride in the balloon...  but
that's ok... I don't know who gets to ride in the balloon anyway... I think
it's mainly people who make fat contributions to MSU athletics... not

This morning I posted about this interesting catalog, but all the stuff
cited then was just from the latest supplement.  Now I got the thick,
250 page catalog.  It includes an essay by "Mr. EFF", Mitch Kapor, on
the EFF and the issues it deals with.  Interesting.

  {don't get grossed out here....it DOES get better.....and builds to
a climax by the end.....}

   This is a few pages before a short story about convicts having sex
with the body of a woman who was just electrocuted.....still supposedly
hot from the electrocution, etc.   Not your every day read.   Thank God.
   In some ways the 'catalog' is about half stories and essays and
interviews.  Strange.  Of course for those who want books on:

How to make disposable silencers  (two volumes)
The illustrated art of lock picking
Making crime pay
The hacker's handbook: an insider's guide to modems and telecomputing
Successful armed robbery
How to get anything on anybody    [suppose the Bush folks read this one?]
How to disappear completely and never be found
How to earn $15 to $50 an hour and more with a pickup truck or van
    [abh....this might pay better....especially if you hauled some nice
      stuff across the border in a van.....right?]
The complete book of international smuggling
How to cheat on your wife and not get caught  [apparently no counterpart
        book for women]
Beating the radar rap
Body packaging: a guide to human sexual display
How to date young women: for men over 35

and, finally....though it may not be valid with implants or surgery...

Genitology: reading the genitals    [appears to be like palm reading,
    but in reverse, so to speak]
    "Find out how you 'fit' with the opposite sex."
    "Discover your genital type and the types you are more compatible
      with"  [no more 'what's your sign' bullshit in bars, i guess]
    "Do not be fooled.  This is the cream of research."  [did they really
        write that with a straight face]

I have no idea, but there is a Right to Life party around someplace.
They're not out to get elected really, just to get their message out.
This could be something of theirs.  
What kind of disgusting was the commercial?  I've seen [clinical as opposed
