The Wage Slave Journal: George W. Bush Scorecard of Evil

The Wage Slave Journal: George W. Bush Scorecard of Evil: "Two years into President Bush's term, the damage he has done to the nation and the world is incalculable. On issue after issue, Bush does what's good for big corporations and right-wing extremists at the expense of the public. The Wage Slave Journal offers this scorecard to help you keep track of all of the evil deeds Bush commits and, more important, to provide a record for your perusal when November 2004 rolls around. "

In keeping with our Monkey Punch tribute, here's the Lupin III Network. The official site for all things Lupin III.

I bought one of these on Sunday and sent out the rebate yesterday. So far it's worked out nicely. Except none of the computers I use have a USB 2.0 so moving files is pretty damn slow. But it's faster then burning them onto disks...

I noticed that it seemed to be dual formated when I plugged it into the renderfarm at home, which means I could plug it into Bruce's G3!

These are the series I was thinking of when I saw ASHITA NO NADJA. I'd forgotten that they did these shows for so long...

NADJA OF TOMORROW

Ashita no Nadja
The heroine is only 12, and she's living in an orphanage in England in the late Victorian age, and it's too cute for words. Great quality and design that reminds me of the ANNE OF GREEN GABLES and LITTLE WOMEN and even HEIDI animes of times past. Some CGI elements don't always work, but I give them credit for trying. I doubt it'll be licenced here in the states, and more's the shame. This is a show that little girls whould love.

Mr. Accident (2000)

Mr. Accident (2000)
I turned on the tv for some background noise and this was playing, at first I didn't notice the Oz accents and thought it was AT&T spokesthing Carrot Top. Which is strange because I remember once turning on the tv and seeing Eric Stoltz in MASK and thinking it was also Carrot Top. Maybe we need a remake of MASK with Carrot Top. Or better still, Carrot Top and Yahoo Serious in a fight to the death...

I'll give Yahoo Serious credit, he's pretty good at physical comedy. And he's certainly more likeable then I remember him. If only he was teamed up with a straight man I think he'd break into Hollywood.
