Tiffany is a resident of Texas that resides in California 50 weeks out of the year.
The whole recall thing in california seems about as silly as the redistricting thing in texas. maybe i'm confused, but i thought the good old constitution said that you could only redistrict when you get new census information, every ten years. Also, if i'm right, then why don't those silly democrats in new mexico come back, make a quorum, and then take their case to the supreme court?

President Bush is in excellent health. My old boss in the maintenance department had terrible blood pressure after just six months in his job. Why isn't the President of the United States stressed out? Doesn't it seem like all of our other presidents have suffered stress-related ailments?

This is amazing. Whose side are we on here? I say we kill all Israelis. It'll be easier than trying to make peace, and it'll probably give us the support of the oil-bearing Arabs. 'Persecution is horrible and should never be served against any people, except those dirty Palestinians.'

"California is the most progressive state in the union. I don't think anyone here will have a problem with a smut peddler as governor."
We should get in on this. Do we know anyone who lives in California? Jeremy, is your sister a resident of Texas or Cali?

I just finished watching Truman Show on DVD. Not bad, not great. Open, 'artistic' ending. Problem is the movie is pop fluff. But that's not what I'm here to talk about. I'm here to talk about how the DVD got stuck on the guide spindle of my DVD player, so when I hit eject, the tray slides out with no DVD in it. I hit close, and the movie starts. If I turn off power to my DVD player with the tray half open, I can see the DVD floating above the tray. I can't pry it down off the spindle, though. I'm going to have to dismantle my DVD player now.

Here is an animal that can experience 400 Gs and feels just fine afterwards.
Here is what you sound like when you experience 400 Gs: "splat".

New York is starting to segregate homosexual high school students. It's not mandatory, but it's also a good way for school districts to cop out of providing a secure learning environment in regular public schools. The phrase that came to my mind after reading this article was "straight man's burden."

Possibly your next favorite movie of all time. Bubba Ho-Tep.

Friendster seems like a pretty decent idea, if you're patient enough to meet and talk to people on the internet. That usually wouldn't be much of a problem for me, but since i can only connect to the internet via this rickety old laptop, it kinda gets irratating fast. Also, if you're friends with me, you will notice that your entire network of some 50k people are all connected first through me, and second through my sister. my sister is such a freak. girls have it so easy, i swear.
in other news, my sister came home from oakland last week to hang out for a week. she had no checked luggage, just one carry-on. She's an artist, and sometimes needs a boxcutter for this or that. She forgot that her boxcutter was in her purse, and didn't find out until the xray guy at the security check pointed it out to her. tiff doesn't look like your average terrorist, and it's not like she had the thing hidden in a hollowed out space inside her prosthetic leg, so they just kept the boxcutter and let her through. she was a little embarrased. before we dropped her off at the airport the other day, we stopped and got some tamales. we ordered an extra dozen so she could take them back home with her. since they were wrapped in aluminum foil, i was pretty sure that they'd ask her to open them up and show that she didn't have a bunch of C-4 inside, since i thought xrays might not penetrate aluminum. but they didn't. it was going to be a great story. i was going to call her the tamale terrorist for the rest of her life... but they didn't even ask about the mysterious bundle wrapped in aluminum foil.
