What does education often do?  It makes a straight cut ditch of a
free meandering brook.

An amusing little quiz-what threat to the Bush administration are you?

My results:

You Are: Morally deficient.

You are corrupting our children with pornography and calling it sex
education! They should be left to figure out their bodies on their own,
and told about the birds and bees on their 21st birthday.

Threat rating: Medium. Your total lack of decent family values makes you
dangerous, but we can count on some right wing nutter blowing you up if
you become too high profile.

DHS says "suicide hijackings planned by end of Summer 2003".

TSA says "No more air marshals on x-country or international flights,
hotels too expensive".

Well, isn't that special...

    MSNBC modified the link, apparently somebody figured out what a
boneheaded move this was and reversed the policy... 

Thanks to Dirk for the heads up.

The last Volkswagen Beetle rolled off the production line in Puebla,
Mexico today, after a 64 year run. A rather impressive feat for a car
designed in 1934 at the request of Hitler. It's longevity is a testament
to the German engineering of the time-if Hitler wasn't such an idiot the
Reich probably would've overrun the world. They certainly had the
technical capacity to do so. Lucky for us he was such a dumbass.
