Using Bees To Effect Vengeance

Using Bees To Effect Vengeance
I get to be as self-indulgent as I want without wasting anyone's time. Guilt-free solipsism -- excellent! Looking for that particular entry? Search Using Bees....

Archives: Email the Proprietor		Sunday, February 29, 2004 Another priceless graphic from uggabugga: \| posted by Alex at 9:30 PM Wednesday, February 25, 2004 International Religious Freedom Report for 2003 -- not great, but actually better than I would have thought. [From my new best friend, Foreign Policy magazine.] Update: the image previously rendered above was too damn big (looked just fine on my other 'puter) so I scrapped the image in favor of a link. \| posted by Alex at 10:16 PM If I were a novel, I would be David Copperfield, apparently. No complaints there -- my writing style and my sense of humour in general are heavily indebted to Mr. Dickens. Spot on. Not bad for a mere six questions. \| posted by Alex at 6:09 PM Marriage Rights and Benefits: "Whether or not you favor marriage as a social institution, there's no denying that it confers many rights, protections, and benefits -- both legal and practical." Wow, there sure are a lot of "rights, protections and benefits" that accrue from being married. Remind me of the rationale for denying one class of citizens equal protection of the laws in this way? [via Atrios] Not to mention the "becoming real and true in the eyes of your family". \| posted by Alex at 12:33 AM Tuesday, February 24, 2004 Read His Lips: No, No and No!: "Wilson recently received a picture of George and Laura Bush and, he says, a personal call from the Republican National Committee. 'The RNC called me at dinner like a telemarketer,' Wilson says. 'He started in with: 'I want to thank you for all you've done.' 'Do you know who I am?' Wilson asked the solicitor, who confessed ignorance. 'Just tell Ed Gillespie you called Joe Wilson,' he said, referring to the RNC chairman. 'And put me down for a no.'" I love it! \| posted by Alex at 5:04 PM Sounds familiar: "Subway passengers in New York are convinced they can hear the first three notes from one of the best known songs from the blockbuster movie about the Big Apple - West Side Story. They swear the opening bars of Somewhere, the melody from the pen of Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim, is coming to them on the Uptown No 2 line. Curiously enough, the trains run through the turf of the rival gangs from the show - the Jets and the Sharks - in the Upper West Side." \| posted by Alex at 12:34 PM Friday, February 20, 2004 The DrumSolo Collection \| posted by Alex at 2:14 PM Sunday, February 15, 2004 Change for America -- Joe Trippi's blog. \| posted by Alex at 10:16 PM Friday, February 06, 2004 I don't want to move in on Jeff's boyfriend, but after reading Paul O'Neill's scribbled response to a Larry Lindsey memo, I have to admit that his bad-boy persona is just magnetic. \| posted by Alex at 12:45 PM Sorry for the lack of updates lately -- the new gig is sucking up most of my energy and time. Hell, even Jimmy Carter blogs more often than I do. \| posted by Alex at 12:33 PM [Charles in charge]: "Why do we all love 'Charles in Charge'? The answer is evident - because it's very funny!! Hence I decided to collect some of the best jokes from the series. The porblem is, I translated most of them from Russian, so there many mistakes in them." Hilarity ensues.
