CNN is reporting that the TSA is installing desanguination booths at all airports. Michael Chertoff was quoted at a Friday press conference, "In light of recent developments and arrests in Great Britain, the Department of Homeland Security has decided to tweak its search procedures and carry-on restrictions." These changes were ordered by George W. Bush upon the advice of Presidential science advisor Marburger. "Quite frankly it's frightening. The average human body is 80% liquid which can be used as vectors for the transmission of biological weapons or mixed to create high explosives."

In related news, the Department of Homeland Security's Mercy Camp policy has continued apace in the American southwest. Deputy Secretary Michael Jackson says by the advent of 2007, barring any hurricanes or terrorist round-ups, these camps will be capable of processing thousands of citizens each day except Sunday which is devoted to The Lord. Proctor and Gamble, one of the largest producers of soap in the United States like Ivory and Safeguard, is clearly excited at the prospect of cheap raw material for the manufacture of personal cleansing products. President Bush has declared the Mercy Camp initiative as part of his policy to engender compassionate conservativism.

thought for the day
Every day, tell yourself that you are not afraid. The Republic and its media promulgates fear.

One person can make a difference.

It only takes one person to act and the rest will follow in kind.

Think for yourself and act like an adult.

That may be the most seditious act anyone can perform these days.

On Friday, since raddidge wasn't coming down, I decided to try my hand at the public NetHack server at alt.org. I've played a brief game or two in the past but gave up because my laptop doesn't have a proper number pad. Last winter I purchased a USB number pad to play at the server but got too busy and forgot about it. Now I'm able to play with little or no frustration. I even made the game in PuTTY look exactly like the one in DOS.

Plus I remapped the numberpad so 5 lets me kick doors and monsters. This is hardly brain surgery but it makes me happy.

Something is better than nothing. Last night was all about titfucking. If there was a pair, guess what eventually ended up between them? Good, gentle reader.
