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.

    You know, when I'm feeling cheerful I'm opposed to the war against the Afgan people, but then I hear of something like this and it reminds me that as long as were busy killing each other at least were not busy killing things that can't fight back.

    To commit such crimes against any creature is immoral, but to commit the same crimes against a creature that cannot fight back is inhuman.

    So go ahead Uncle Sam, bomb the snot out of some third world regeime, you have my whole hearted support... but if I ever find the bastard that cut that cat open I'll gut him and stick a fscking antenna up his butt.

    Go ahead, moderate me.
