Now that those days are back, here's a good object lesson: the Chicago Sun-Times has details about Operation Acoustic Kitty, a CIA program to wire a cat to spy on the Soviet Union. Feel free to be either shocked at the depravity or shocked at the stupidity. The first prototype is also a nominee for Worst Presentation Ever." Hmmm. Last time I posted a story about cats, I got angry email from cat-lovers. Let's see what happens this time.

    I guess it IS better than posting a story about Katz, in some people's opinions.

    Sad thing is these kinds of right-wing nutjobs are back in power...

    I'll certainly be feeling no sympathy for CIA staff who die by anthrax. Or anything else, for that matter. Sick fucks.

    Sad thing is, the people responsible will probably die in their beds, with a fat pension and commendations.

    Funny, how the jokes we had in Germany in Fifth
    Grade make it across the pond and get regurgitated
    by a supposed sentient being, on a website for
    (one would assume) talented or educated people.
