I love this Christmas story. That is about as good as the Caucus Race and Long
Tale from Alice in Wonderland. Isn't what this list is all about. Now we get to
have the Lion and the Unicorn.
This was recently published in a media article and I took a look. I was laugh
pretty hard. I remember the first bogus PR written by someone about Gates buying
the Vatican and how crazy the PR people at Microsoft got--some of whom I'm
actually aquatinted with--like Ballmer wife Connie. Now that is humorous! :-)
All I could think of is what kind of craziness was going on over there and when
the lawyer are going to jump on these guys. But I have a different view here.
These people all seem crazy to me--like something out of a comic book. :-)
Check it out. This is by the people who did the movie the Blair Witch Project (I
didn't see it.) This is a pretty impressive deal. But it's so damn funny if you
have been doing bogus stuff like this for years.
http://www.macarthurpark.com/ They are even linking to real pages. It's so
weird... :-)
They are playing Revenge of the Nerds on the Comedy Central and another movie
called Crash and Burn (i think) about hackers. But my favorite is Revenge of the
Nerds III. :-) Makes me wonder. :-) Now we have a dyslexic President who is
braindead about technology and a war monger for VP. Super Cool!
I beg the question here. Is this good clean fun for the masses? Or is this
more Nerd Bashing. Enquiring minds want to know. :-)

|AUSTIN, Tx (Dec. 4) - Attorneys for Texas Governor George W. Bush filed suit
|in federal court today, seeking to prevent Santa Claus from making his list
|and then checking it twice. The complaint seeks an immediate injunction
|against the beloved Christmas icon, asking the court to effectively ban his
|traditional practice of checking the list of good boys and girls one
|additional time before packing his sleigh.
|
|The suit, filed in the Federal District Court of Austin, Texas, asks a
|federal judge to "hereby order Mr. Claus to cease and desist all repetitive
|and duplicative list-checking activity, and certify the original list as
|submitted, without amendment, alteration, deletion, or other unnecessary
|modification."
|
|"There are no standards for deciding who is naughty, and who is nice. It's
|totally arbitrary and capricious. How many more times does he need to check?
|This checking, checking, and re-checking over and over again must stop now,"
|said former Secretary James Baker.
|
|Baker further claimed that unnamed GOP observers witnessed an elf removing
|all boys named Justin from the 'nice' list, filing them under 'naughty'
|instead because "everyone knows all boys named Justin are brats."
|
|Gov. Bush cited the potential for unauthorized list tampering, and blasted
|what he called the "crazy, crazy mess up there at the North Pole."
|
|"Their security is really awful, really bad," said Bush. "My mother just
|walked right in, told 'em she was Mrs. Claus. They didn't check her ID or
|nothing."
|
|Meanwhile, Dick Cheney, Gov. Bush's running mate, issued a direct plea to
|St. Nick himself. "Mr. Claus, I call on you to do the honorable thing, and
|quit checking your list. The children of the world have had enough. They
|demand closure now," Cheney said, adding that his granddaughter has already
|selected a name for the pony she's asked for.
|
|The Rev. Jesse Jackson was quick to respond to this latest development with
|plans to lead his protesters from Florida to the North Pole via dogsled. The
|"Million Man Mush" is scheduled to leave Friday.
|
|"We need red suits and sleighs, not law suits and delays," Jackson said.
|
|Santa Claus could not be reached for comment, but a Spokes-elf said he was
|"deeply distressed" by news of the pending legal action against him.
|
|"He's losing weight, and he hasn't said 'Ho Ho' for days," said the
|spokes-elf. "He's just not feeling jolly."
|
|A weary nation can relate.
|
|
| Be seeing you,
