Fair Warning
Here's the money-quote from the (largely overblown) hurricane Isabel coverage:
One police chief issued a blunt warning Wednesday to beach-dwelling
die-hards. "We are asking citizens who choose to stay in the mandatory
evacuation area that, when contacted by a police officer, they will
need to provide next of kin," said Virginia Beach Police Chief Alfred
"Jake" Jacocks. "We'll ask them to use a permanent Magic Marker to
write their names on their forearms so we can identify them."

Tell them to leave us alone
Dave Barry on telmarketers...
So what's the answer? Is there a constitutional way that we telephone
customers can have our peace, without inconveniencing the people whose
livelihoods depend on keeping their legal right to inconvenience us?
Maybe we could pay the telemarketing industry not to call us, kind of
like paying ''protection money'' to organized crime. Or maybe we could
actually hire organized crime to explain our position to
telemarketing-industry executives, who would then be given a fair
opportunity to respond, while the cement was hardening

Elect Larry Flynt
How cool would it be if Larry Flynt was elected Governor of
California...
"California is the most progressive state in the union," said Flynt, 61. "I don't think anyone here will have a problem with a smut peddler as governor."

Invasion of the rubber ducks
New England about to be attacked by 20,000 Chinese rubber
ducks... they've been swimming for over a decade...
Curtis Ebbesmeyer, a retired oceanographer who has been tracking the
toys' progress, said: "Some kept going, some turned and headed to
Europe. By now, hundreds should be dispersed along the New England
coast."
